FANFIC - The Mentalist. *I do not own any characters or The Mentalist. I love The Mentalist - just watched it during Covid-19. I'm not a writer. Just passing the time. Feel free to comment, but please be kind. Jane and Lisbon work for the FBI, but all is not well between them. The familiar partnership from the CBI days is gone. Their fragile partnership is threatened when Jane must face up to the damage he's caused Lisbon in the past and his unwillingness to open up to her. This story explores the angle where Jane planned his return home causing major issues with his relationship with Lisbon, a missing link if found between Jane and Lisbon that causes huge doubts with Lisbon and what happens when feelings are left undeclared but acted upon physically.
