The Mentalist - Crimson Beauty

Part three

"Oh, hi Jane." Cho was busy stuffing his noodles down his neck when Jane approached him in the cafateria.

"Hi Cho. Jess Bumble, the girl you just went to see, how was she, I mean, did anything seem kinda weird?" Cho gave Jane a quizzical look.

"Well she seemed scared that we were there. She started crying when I flashed the badge. But when I told her that Laura was dead, she started crying more, but it looked like a weight had been took off her shoulders." Said Cho. Jane smiled at Cho.

"So that means she was hiding something. So if we find out, that might tell us something." Cho nodded and went back to eating his noodles. Jane walked away, pausing only to smell the food, but instead wrinkled his nose.

Lisbon looked up as Jane as he approached her desk. They exchanged kisses, much to the disgust of Wylie, who smiled and went back to work.

"Hey, how you doing?" Asked Lisbon politely. Jane smiled back, the twinkle in his eyes brighter than ever.

"I think I know how to solve the case."

"Good. How?"

Jane smiled and walked away. He left the FBI building and climbed into his R.V. Starting the engine, he left the compound.

"Hi, im Patrick Jane, with the FBI." The girl at the door sighed and sttod out of the way, letting Jane in. As he passed her, he bumped into her, secretly taking the phone out of the pocket. He sat down on the leather couch.

"So, wheres you parents?" Asked Jane polietly.

"They're at work." Jane nodded and pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to her.

"On that sheet is a bunch of questions about the law. We have to give them to suspects under the ae of 15. You need to answer the questions with a true or false." She took it and scanned the questions. Jane picked up his phone, and set a timer for a auto-phone call. The phone started ringing. Picking it up, he pretended to speak.

"Sorry, gotta go, work." Jess nodded and showed him the way out. Jand drove the R.V. down the road but stopped just out of sight of the house. Pulling out the phone, he unlocked it and started searching. As he looked through the texts, he saw one that made him smile. It was just as he predicted. Now all he had to do was pull the final parts of his plan together.

Lisbon, do me a favor and organize a meeting. Lisbon smiled. She knew this meant he was close to finishing the case.

"Okay boss. Who do you want to come." She asked.

"Rich, Jess and Laura's mom." Lisbon noted the names and nodded. Jane took her pen and write down something on the paper.

"I'm gonna go take a nap now. Don't wake me, unless your bringing a cup of tea."
