Warning: this chapter is booring. :p Sorry.
I rewrote it about three or four times, but every single try turned out blah. I posted the best one on here.

I guess my chapter six was just destined to be a simple, boring filler chapter. Heh.
Chapter seven is coming soon, though. Hopefully it'll be better than this one.

Also, thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story! I didn't know how addicting reviews could be.

Lisbon looked up as the door opened. Van Pelt poked her red head into the room. "Boss, I think I got the identity of our victim."
"Let me guess, she works at a Pizza Hut?"
"Yup. The one on Dunsing Street."
Lisbon wasn't surprised. Jane's hunches were hardly ever wrong.
"What's her name?"

Van Pelt handed her boss a piece of scrap paper. On it were a few phone numbers scrawled down in loopy, blue handwriting.
"She didn't show up for work this morning. The Pizza Hut manager described her as about five foot three, with long red hair and blue eyes. Nineteen years old."
"Sounds like our girl. What's her name?"
"Cristina Ann Foley."

Cristina Ann Foley.. The name sounded familiar to Lisbon. Where had she heard it before? She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After a few moments of thought and a strange look from Van Pelt, it finally hit her.
"Cristina Ann Foley, the daughter of.."

"Robert and Diane Foley, yes." Van Pelt finished her sentence.

Oh crap.

RIGSTER: Why does the boss look so cranky?

PlainJane: i believe its because our murder victim is somehow connected to a person with a giant reputation.

gracievp: yepp.

K-Cho: why is she working at a Pizza Hut, then?

RIGSTER: What was her name again?

gracievp: Cristina Ann Foley.

RIGSTER: I've never heard of her .

gracievp: she's the daughter of Robert Foley.

RIGSTER: oh. OHH. damn.

K-Cho: No wonder Lisbon is so pissed.

PlainJane: who's Robert Foley?

RIGSTER: The snooty bigshot CEO of California Pharmaceutical.

PlainJane: ?

K-Cho: The big bald guy you always see in those medicine commercials on channel 13.

PlainJane: oh, him? Yeah he always struck me as a little snobby..

gracievp: how so?

PlainJane: the way he talks to you about aspirin. Its just.. weird.

K-Cho: So what do we do now?

gracievp: The autopsy results for our victim won't come back until tomorrow morning. we'll contact the Foleys once we get the confirmation of our victim's identity.

RIGSTER: besides his bigshot-ness, there's also that scandal about his family that went on a few years back

PlainJane: I'm not familiar with scandals. :p especially not ones that involve big bald pharmaceutical CEOs

K-Cho: cristina foley filed for emancipation from her parents, and the reason was never stated. The tabloids were all over it.

gracievp: yeah. I remember the headlines. "robert foley is a rapist!"

PlainJane: oh my.

RIGSTER: I remember seeing an article in the National Enquirer about how Cristina was an alien.

PlainJane: okay so we got the estranged daughter of a bigshot CEO who was part of a huge scandal and was also accused of being an extra-terrestrial.

gracievp: yepp.

PlainJane: I can understand Lisbon's grumpiness.

gracievp: mhmm.

PlainJane: How shiny is his head?

PlainJane: robert foley's head?

RIGSTER: what kind of question is that?

PlainJane: you can tell a lot about a bald man from how shiny his head is.

K-Cho: Umm, I don't know.

RIGSTER: Hm. extra shiny.?

PlainJane: Ahh.

gracievp: mind explaining?

PlainJane: I would, but Lisbon's coming.

They (with the exception of Jane, who was very relaxed about it) all scrambled to exit the instant messaging program before Lisbon entered the bullpen. It didn't stop her from noticing their high-strung faces, however. Seeing her agents panic actually amused Lisbon a little bit.
"Go home," she told them. "There's nothing left for you all to do. See you tomorrow."
They all nodded and left.
Except for Jane, of course, who decided to stay behind and irritate her. He always did.

Rigsby, Van Pelt, and Cho were in the elevator heading for the ground floor.
"Where's Jane?" Rigsby asked. The answer to his question was quite obvious.
"He stayed behind to piss Lisbon off," Cho replied monotonously.
"I wonder if she's ever going to have enough of him," Van Pelt said, fidgeting with her hair.
"Nah. She likes him too much." answered Cho.
"True.. I wonder if they'll invite us to their wedding."
They all laughed quietly at the thought of Jane and Lisbon getting married.
