Scarlet Tea

Files and Flirting

More chapters for you! And yes, I decided to make this chapter a little more Rigspelt. I may like Jisbon more than Rigspelt, but I know that if all you Rigspelt fans out there are obsessed with it as much as I'm obsessed with Jisbon, then.....yeah. A mentalist fan is a mentalist fan, whatever couple you ship! So, for all those Rigspelt fans out there, this is for you!

P.S. If you aren't a Rigspelt fan, you still have to read this chapter. It leads up to some important stuff.

Disclaimer: Should I even have to do this anymore? Your face is a disclaimer! <grr>

Van Pelt's P.O.V.

I have no word back from forensics yet, so I'm scouring every possible lead on Eddie Harken. I type Edward Harken into the system, pumping it for information. I open several pages, zooming through the one's that couldn't work until I'm left with one link. I click it, and scan through the files, and come up with a drivers licence.

Edward Harken

male

age 47 

I find a credit card and type in the number, seeing when it was last used. I pull that up, and then search for a home address.

1367, Park Boulevard

San Jose, California

Next, I search the criminal database, only finding a few minor charges. Vandelism, and several speeding tickets, as well as some minor trespassing cases that were quickly dimissed. Most of them were from over 10 years ago.

I pull everything up onto one page, and lean back, admiring my handiwork. Then I check the clock. 7 minutes and 33 seconds. That's a record. I quickly start printing the pages, as well as a few head-shots. I take a CBI form out of my desk and fill out the info on Eddie Harken. Then, I put that on top of the rest of the forms in an empty folder. I paper-clip it together and head to Lisbon's office. 

"Here's all the info on Eddie Harken. He has no records with violence, but he also has no record of owning a gun, or a license, even for hunting. If that gun was his, it's completely illegal." I announce.

"Good job! Have you gotten any results from forensics?" Lisbon asks, looking up.

"Oh, no, I haven't. They should be in today, though. Unless they're backed up, which wouldn't be surprizing," I roll my eyes.

"Tell me about it. So can- Jane what is it?" She looks over my shoulder. I spin around to see Jane holding his favorite blue teacup. 

"Hello ladies! Lisbon, can I borrow your flashlight for something?" He questions.

"Uh, no." she states.

"Please?" he grins at her, flashing his famous smile.

"No."

"What are you working on anyway?" He comes to stand behind Lisbon, peering at the file. "Looks boring."

"Your such a help." Lisbon mutters.

"I'm flattered," He walks out the door.

Lisbon turns back to me, "He stole my flashlight didn't he?"

"Yep." I reply. She goes back to the file.

"Why would he need a flashlight anyway?" I ponder.

"I don't want to know," Lisbon admits. I laugh, and exit the office.

"Where were you?" Rigsby asks.

"I was talking to boss for 10 seconds! You miss me too much," I scold. 

"What can I say, you're a very missable person," he smiles.

"Okay, 1. We're at work, and 2. that's not even a word. Not to mention, you smell like barf," I tease.

"Yeah. Ben's got the flu. I had to hire a baby-sitter, 'cause I can't take a day off on such short notice." he explains.

"Aww. I could come and help you take care of him," I suggest. Ben's a cutie.

"Oh, okay! Sure. After work, then," he decides.

"It's a date."

It's not as good as I'd hoped, but like I said before, I prefer Jisbon......
