Lisbon tried not to be surprised by Alice's words. She knew she'd to listen to the girl. After all there weren't many people especially teens who would come and say the truth to the police. Lisbon knew Lorens was the only way to find Red John. She thought her survival was just a mistake and they had to use it property. Looked like this girl was going to help them too.

Similarities between Lorens and Jane shocked Lisbon when she first met her. She was the one who found her parents and she was put in the hospital for a year... just like Jane.. But she could't understand why Jane wanted this girl with them. Jane managed to persuaded her and they met Lorens's doctor. He told them the girl was found by the police. Someone called and told there was a girl with several cuts and bruises at the crime scene. She woke up from coma after six months. then she was transferred in the psychiatry clinic. The doctor told them Lorens was receiving the red roses from someone. He was keeping them because he knew she would freak out because she did so when she first saw them in the hospital. Jane decided he had to see the girl no matter what. First he wanted to hypnosis her but when they saw those smilies on the wall, he decided against it. When she told them that she was sorry about their losses, Lisbon was completely in shock. How did that girl know about their problems? She needed answers but Jane didn't let her.

Now Lisbon was sitting in front of her and listening to the truth. The girl's parents were murdered on her birthday. The most terrible present that could be received that day. Lisbon wanted to comfort her but first she had the job to do

"Wait a minute, Ms Lorens, I'll call Jane and then we can continue"

Lisbon left the office and pulled out the phone. She found his number and dealed it

'Come one, Jane, come on'

After seconds she heard oh so familiar voice

"What is it, Lisbon, miss me already?" she could tell she saw him smirking

"Wipe that damned grin off of your face, Jane!" she snarled. Jane chuckled

"What happened, Lisbon?"

"Where the hell are you?"

"At the victim's house, why?"

"Come back to the HQ right now, Jane. There must be news about Red John" she noticed how his breathing became heavily

"Did...did he..." she cut off his shaking voice

"No, no" she shook the head even though he couldn't see "it's about Alice Lorens"

"Ah!" Jane exclaimed "what happened to her?" he exhaled with relief

"She is my my office now, Jane. She said what she told us was one of her nightmares"

"So she lied?"

"No, Jane...she...damn it!" she cursed under her breath "just come back, ok?"

"I'll be there in half hour. Make sure she tell you everything"

"Alright" she hung up and ignored the gazes her Agents gave her. She went in her cabinet and closed the door behind herself. Lorens was standing before the window. Lisbon sat on the chair

"We better wait for him, right?" Asked Lorens

"You can tell me everything, Ms Lorens. He'll join us soon" Lorens nodded but didn't sit down

"Agent Lisbon, the only thing you have to know is that my family isn't-I meant-wasn't living in USA. Mom and Dad wanted to live here and I didn't hamper they. I was going in the school near my house. I don't have many friends here so I wasn't close with someone but when the classmates heard I'd birthday in that week, they decided to celebrate it together... I received petty good presents, didn't I?" she chuckled bitterly

"That's...how can I say... horrible"

"I know" Lorens shrugged "but we can do nothing about it"

"Is there anything else you've to tell me, Ms Lorens?"

"Yes, there is" Lorens turned back and faced Lisbon "I'm pretty sure Red John didn't choose this day accidentally. Everything was planned. he knew I would freak out, that's why he sent me those red roses. He made sure I was locked in the hospital. I don't know why he needed to do that but I guess he was visiting me sometimes to check my condition"

"Why would he do that?"

"Ma'am" Lorens smirked "have you ever et a serial killer who almost kills the victim and then calls the ambulance so she can be saved? I don't think so..."

"I once said you were pretty interesting girl, Alice"

Lisbon jumped when Jane entered the room with the blue cup in his hands

"And I'm repeating it again. You are a very interesting girl" he smiled at her slyly. Lorens blinked when saw him but returned the smile

"It's Lorens for you, Mr Jane" she grinned widely "and thanks for compliment. By the way it'll be better if I continue, right?"

Jane sat on the couch and sipped his tea. He eyed Lisbon who nodded and then asked

"You think he called the police so you could survive?" Lorens nodded

"Yes, sir. I know Red John is a blood thirsty bastard but he decided I was important. I don't know exactly why or how but I'm sure he'll find me in these days"

"And the red roses?" Jane examined her reaction. She winced but shook the head

"I don't know what's so important about them. I never really liked red roses. But let's think logically, I'm the only one who survived, right? He won't let me go this easily"

Jane sipped the tea again. This girl was strange. She was clever for her age. She knew what to say and when but she also had a quick eye. When he first saw her, he thought he was watching Lisbon's young self. her honey almost green eyes were reading though lines. He knew she read him too so he wasn't surprised when she said she was sorry about his losses. And now it was like she was saying everything but her self was well were thinking almost at the same time and about the same thing. Both of them were sure Red John would find her and she wanted them to catch him; His thoughts were interrupted by Lorens's voice

"Agent Lisbon, may I leave now?" Lisbon who was watching them carefully, nodded

"Of course, Ms Lorens" she stood up. Alice shook her hand and turned to Jane. He jumped up and flashed his 100 watt smile

"Nice to meet you, Alice" the girl sighed

"Same her, Mr Jane" she shook his hand too and walked towards the door "Oh! And..." she turned back quickly and smirked" I already told Agent Van Pelt to check the daughter and her friends' alibi. You might find something interesting about them" with that she waved and left Jane and Lisbon alone. Jane chuckled and looked at his Boss who seemed to be shocked

"Did...did you.." she opened the mouth but closed it several times "Did you hear that?" she exclaimed. Jane gave her wolfish smile

"I told you one of the daughter's friends had an affair with the relatives, Lisbon"

"But Jane! You talked to them and she...she didn't!" Lisbon couldn't believe her ears

"Well, dear Lisbon, I also said she was a very interesting girl" Lisbon shot him The Lisbon Glare

"Shut up, Jane!" Jane kept the smiley face and looked down at his cup pitifully

"Hmm... another cup of tea won't be bad" with these words he left the room
