Chapter 2. Messages.

Lisbon awoke. It was 5.30am and as she squinted at her surroundings, sitting up, she realised she must have fallen asleep watching TV after getting home from Jane's. Suddenly the memories from the previous day flooded back, and she frowned when she remembered her reaction to him leaving. How embarrassing. She stood, and flattened out her work shirt, then bent down to get the remote off the floor and placed it on the coffee table.

Heading over to the table, she started half humming, half singing the tune from the radio last night.

'Oooh you're hmm hmm hmm… and I can not get hmmm hmmm…'

(Oooh, you're in my veins, and I can not get you out…)

She got the coffee out of the cupboard and began brewing her wonderful drink. Aside from Jane, this was the only thing she couldn't live without.

Aside from Jane. How could he leave like that? She finished stirring her coffee and walked back to the couch. She placed the coffee on the table beside her and turned on the TV. But, she wasn't really watching.

Lisbon was staring down at her carpet. Thinking. Would she ever see him again? It had only been one night. This was definitely an overreaction. She shook her head in an attempt to clear those silly worries. What's the worse that could happen?

After about ten minutes of just sitting, her coffee growing cold beside her, Lisbon stood and walked over to her home phone. Just to check.

'You have ONE new message'

Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but smile as she pressed play on the answering machine.

"Hey Lisbon… This is

Thank god, Jane thought to call. This would settle her worries for good.

"This is Wainwright. Just checking to see that you were coming in today, and

Lisbon pressed the delete button with a little more force than necessary. Of course Jane wouldn't call. Something was wrong with him… But he'd contact her soon. Right?

She headed upstairs and started a shower, and slowly undressed from the previous day's clothes, then stepped inside. The water was nice, just the right temperature, and it helped to still her thoughts and let her think clearly for the first time in about eighteen hours. She should text him. That's all. Text him and ask what he's doing. She nodded at this thought, and proceeded to wash her hair.

Van Pelt and Cho were already in the bullpen, wrapping up the evidence in Benjamin Marx's case, so they could try to get him for murder in court. Rigsby arrived at about 8, smiling as usual about his Benjamin. But then he saw the brown leather couch in the corner of the bull-pen and remembered, and silently moved to his desk, exchanging sorry glances with Van pelt on the way.

…

When Lisbon arrived at the CBI car-park, and saw Jane's usual space taken by a CBI SUV, she took out her phone and selected his name, then began typing Jane a message as she walked into the CBI and lined up at the metal detector line.

'Hey Jane. U ok? Call me.'

"Heya Lisbon!" Lisbon sent the message and looked up. It was Kevin, manning the metal detector.

"Morning K. How goes things?"

"Alright I guess. Sorry to hear about Jane though."

"Oh. It's no biggie, he deserved it I guess," Lisbon placed her phone and bag on the tray and headed through the detector, then once retrieving her things, to the elevator.

Thanks for reading guys! I promise more will happen once she's alone xD Please review, let me know what you think of this one :D
