Faded

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

There's no way she would allow Jane to face this on his own, Lisbon has to do something. She can hear Jane walking to the door, the lock clicks and she makes her move as he opens the door. As much as she loves him, Jane would never be able to save her and its high time he faced that. Jane is horrible at self-defense, he can't handle a knife, and he's never shot a gun; everyone knew Lisbon was the strength in their relationship it was Jane who brought in the emotions.

She risks standing up, praying to God that she can walk and falls like all the other times. But she can't give up not on Jane so she tries again and nearly crawls across to the kitchen going for a knife or anything that could help. Jane can be heard yelling at someone outside as she collapses again, looking up at the kitchen counter knowing full well that those knives could be the only thing that can save Jane.

"Come out and face me you son of a bitch!"

Jane was furious, he felt like tearing this killer's face off. Matthew's car parked in the road the windows were up but Jane knew he was listening.

"Get out of the car you coward!"

He can hear the driver's door opening, anticipating the killers every move as he begins to exit the car. But what he doesn't notice is the familiar click of a gun before the bullet shatters through the driver's window and lodging itself into the consultants shoulder right above his chest. Jane falls back, leaning against the door for support as the killer finally steps into view laughing at Jane's failure.

"You should see your face! Who knew killing my sister would be so much fun?"

"A-a-Adrian?"

Jane sputters before Adrian shoots him again, this time in his leg getting him to collapse. Adrian kneels to Jane's level cramming his gun into Jane's shoulder wound.

"I'll never understand how someone could fall in love with a bitch like her."

"You're her brother!"

"That's right! I am aren't I?"

"Then why?"

"Why?"

He practically spits.

"Everyone believes that Teresa saved us as kids but did you ever think about who saved her? Who kept her alive!? I saved that whore's life to many times to count! And how did she repay me? By getting me arrested!"

"Adrian-"

"Don't! Every time she took a beating for us the three of us would find her in pain somewhere, Matthew would do everything to fix her up it's what inspired him to be a doctor, so that no matter what happened he could always save her. But nothing worked, she would scream and cry out because the pain was unbearable so I had to gave her heroine after every beating to calm her down. Dad never committed suicide I killed him! I killed our father, it was me who kept her alive and how did she repay me? By calling the cops! Teresa was scared of me, she yelled that I was turning into a monster! I saved her! It was me!"

He starts punching Jane into oblivion, only stopping when the mentalist blacks out.

"I wasn't released until a few months ago and I promised myself that when I got out I would have my revenge."

He stands back up and shoves an unconscious Jane away from the door.

"Thank you for fixing her by the way, this will make things much more fun."

Adrian enters the house ignoring Jane's pleas knowing full well that Teresa's precious team of hers would be here any minute, the plan had changed. He couldn't kill his sister anymore without killing himself but with all the planted evidence in Matthew's hotel room he can kill two birds with one stone. Adrian chuckles a little, three birds in this case.

"Teresa? What's the matter don't you miss your little brother?"

He can just make out her brown locks of hair on the couch pillow and opens fire sending fluff flying out of the couch. Keeping his gun aimed at the couch Adrian makes his way around it revealing...nothing? No body, no blood.

"I'm sorry."

Is all he can make out before a kitchen knife sinks into his back and out of his chest. Teresa begins to cry as her little brother gasps for air, sinking to his knees before collapsing to the ground.

"You...bitch."

She watches him spurt out blood before taking his last breath.

"Adrian I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry."

Cho bursts through the door, the rest of her team flooding into her home helping her off of her brother. Grace helps her sit down as Rigsby goes to check on Jane, taking their unconscious consultant into the house having Cho help him get Jane onto the kitchen table before calling 911.

"Boss are you okay?"

"I killed him-I killed my brother!"

Teresa sobs.

"What about Patrick? Is Jane okay I heard shots!"

She hesitates before answering.

"An ambulance is coming, he's going to fine."

This just makes her cry harder already knowing what Grace is trying to say.

"Oh my God. Oh my God!"

Her mentalist, the one person who ever truly cared for her, is dying and this time do a thing about it.
