A/N: So here it is, the last chapter! As always enjoy and review! :)

Chapter 15

Jane knew he was in serious trouble as soon as he felt blood trickling down his throat. He gulped and stood extremely still. "Come on Gordon, don't make a mistake. They will shoot you if you hurt me any more."

"Shut up!" Walker hissed into Jane's ear and lifted his head to look at Cho and the guns being pointed at him. "I'm going to walk out of here and take him with me. Unless you want me to kill him right now you better let me go." With his free hand he grabbed Jane by the shoulder and pulled him back to the nearest door.

"Walker! Don't make this worse than it already is. Let him go and we'll put a good word in for you with the judge." Cho tried to negotiate.

"Wouldn't matter with all the things he already did. He's in for life." Jane muttered under his breath. Unfortunately Walker heard him. "You just don't know when to shut up do you? How the hell did you manage to stay out of trouble for so long? Well it doesn't matter your luck has just run out." He whispered to Jane.

"Damn it Jane, would you please, for once in your life shut up and let us save you without talking yourself into anymore trouble?" Cho said slightly angry.

"Sorry Cho, I'm shutting up now. No, wait, did you see Lisbon? You have to find her or that pig is going to take her with him." Jane got agitated and struggled in Walker's grab.

"Don't worry, we got her already. Grace took her to an ambulance." Jane sighed in relief and closed his eyes for a moment. At least she was safe.

Behind him Walker cleared his throat. "Ahem, sorry to interrupt but I'd like to go now."

"Give up Walker. This place is surrounded and by now everyone in this house has been arrested and brought in for questioning. You have no chance at escaping. Let him go." Cho tried again.

"No" he simply said and pulled Jane trough the door with him. Cho and the uniforms started to move but the door was already closed and locked. Jane was alone with a dangerous criminal and a blade that was pressing down on his wind pipe.

"Can I go now?" Lisbon asked impatiently after the paramedics had inspected her gun shot wound and put a new bandage on it.

"You need to go to the hospital, miss. You have hit your head on several occasions you have to be checked out in case you got a concussion." one of the paramedics said. He looked pretty young.

"First of all don't call me miss I am a state agent and secondly I am fine. But my colleague is not, so I have to go and search for him." she said determinedly and hopped of the ambulance. Van Pelt stood beside her and held her jacket in front of Lisbon. Lisbon nodded a thanks and slipped it on. Well, it wasn't that easy with her shoulder but Grace helped her and they managed.

"But miss... err agent, you really need to be checked out. I can't let you leave like that. You may be seriously injured." the young paramedic protested and followed Lisbon out of the ambulance.

"You can't let me leave? Oh believe me I can leave whenever I want to and that is right now. So get back into your ambulance and wait for us to come back. Do your job and save lives instead of annoying me." that being said she turned around and made her way over to the house where the team and hopefully Jane and Walker still were.

"Boss are you sure you are alright?" Van Pelt asked hesitantly. She didn't want to make her mad. A mad Teresa Lisbon was not something she wanted to experience ever, especially not now.

"I'm fine Grace, just tired. Let's save our annoying consultant and head home." Lisbon said tiredly and sighed.

"Ahem boss, you don't have your gun on you. It wouldn't be such a good idea to rush in there without a weapon." Van Pelt suggested.

Lisbon stopped and looked at her. "Don't treat me like I'm helpless Grace! I can handle myself just fine even without a weapon. But if you are so worried just give me your spare one." she spat. Grace took a step back and was slightly taken aback. She just suggested that it would be safer with a gun and Lisbon was about to chew her head off. I guess it's time for this day to finally end. Maybe we can relax a little bit after this. It would definitely do her some good, Grace thought while she gave Lisbon her spare gun that she kept on her right ankle.

Lisbon nodded her thanks and took the weapon just as a door only a few steps ahead of them opened and Jane and Walker stumbled out. Lisbon stood and watched the blade at Jane's throat with wide eyes. Just a moment later she had herself under control again and lifted her weapon and pointed it at Walker. Grace did the same.

"Hey be more careful you could seriously injure one of us!" Jane said to Walker while they struggled to get out of the door.

"Hands in the air Walker!" Lisbon shouted.

Jane and Walker stopped struggling and looked at her. Jane's face filled with relief as soon as he saw that she was relatively safe. At least that pig didn't take her with him he thought.

"Now now agent Lisbon put your gun down or I'll slit his throat. I'm in a bit of a hurry so..." Just in that moment a gun was pressed into Walker's head from behind. "Not so fast Mr Walker. Throw your weapon away and put your hands in the air." Cho told him coldly. Walker lowered his weapon.

"I guess that's it Gordon. Sorry, it was fun to play with you but I have to go now. See you in jail." Jane said and made a step forward to finally get away from that man. Before he could finish that one single step he felt a sharp stinging pain at his throat. He heard a scream and someone shouting his name as he put his hands on his throat only to feel something warm and sticky leaking out of him. He stumbled a few steps forward and fell to his knees.

Not a moment later Lisbon rushed to his side and put her hands over his to stop he bleeding. "Jane! Can you breathe?"

Jane thought about it and took a few deep breaths. No problem there. So his wind pipe was not damaged, thank god. He turned his head slowly to look at her and nodded.

Lisbon let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Grace! Get those paramedics!" she shouted at Grace who was still standing frozen with a shocked expression on her face. "Grace!" She jerked and started running to the ambulance.

"Cho, you got him?" Lisbon shouted and looked at the door where Walker stood just moments before. Walker was face down in the dirt with Cho on top of him, fastening the handcuffs.

"Got the bastard boss." Cho said while tightening the cuffs extra tight and pulling him roughly up to his feet. "Let's go. Abducting two state agents and attempting to sell them off and on top of that injuring them... Jane was right, you are in for life." he told Walker and pushed him in the direction of the police cars. "That nosy guy isn't even an agent, he's just a consultant. He told us." Walker protested but Cho cut him short. "Doesn't matter. Now be quiet and get in." Cho pushed him into the car and slammed the door shut.

He made his way back over to Jane and Lisbon. "Boss, how is he?"

"He can breathe so there probably is no damage to his wind pipe which is a good thing. But he's losing blood so fast... where are the damn paramedics?" she shouted.

"Boss! I got them!" Van Pelt shouted while running to them with the paramedics in tow.

"Kept us waiting long enough." she murmured and turned to Jane. "Jane they're here. Don't worry you'll be fine."

"Lisbon..." he tried to say but a coughing fit interrupted him. Damn that hurt! he thought. Oh no... it's getting dark. I can't lose consciousness now, he tried to convince himself.

It didn't work. He looked up at Lisbon while his eyes slowly closed. The last thing he heard before everything turned black was her panicked cry of "Jane!"

The first thing he noticed as he awoke was a constant beeping next to him. Hospital he thought. So it's finally over. Relief flooded him and he was about to let sleep embrace him once more when he felt someone squeeze his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and shut them again as soon as bright light filtered through and hurt him.

"Jane? Are you awake?" he heard Lisbon whisper next to him. He felt her stand up and lean over him. He opened his eyes once more and was met with worried green ones. "Thank god you are awake. You've been sleeping for two whole days. I was getting worried." she told him and he grinned at her. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing would come out. He foggily remembered that Walker had slit his throat. He remembered the pain and the fear. Pulling his hand up to his neck he felt a bandage but no pain. They must have given me the good stuff he thought. But why couldn't he talk? What was wrong?

He looked up at Lisbon with wide panicked eyes and she could read the question in them without any difficulties.

She smiled at him mischievously. "Well Jane, don't worry you'll be fine. The blade did not cut anything crucial you will make a full recovery. A small scar will remain though I'm sorry. Your vocal chords took minimal damage, but they too will heal. And now to the best part... you are not allowed to speak for a whole week!" Lisbon happily told him.

Jane looked like she just told him he would never recover. A whole week?

Lisbon chuckled. "Don't worry it's just a week. And you can go home tomorrow. One week of not worrying about who you would insult next and about all the extra paperwork. And you can't bother me either." Lisbon looked like a dream has come true for her. Jane looked like she had told him the most horrible news she could have told him. He tried to open his mouth again but it didn't work.

Lisbon saw that he attempted to speak and shushed him. She grabbed a pen and paper and hold it to him. "Here you can write it down."

Jane took the utensils and stared down at it wondering what to ask first. After a few moments he wrote. Are you alright?

She laughed and looked at him happily. "I'm fine Jane. They checked for a concussion but found nothing. I even had to stay here for the night. And my shoulder will hurt for quite some time but it will get better eventually."

Thank god, I was worried. Are the others alright too?

"They're fine Jane. You are the one we were worried about. The others are taking a coffee break but will be back in 10."

Good... But really a whole week? What will I do with all that time?

"Yes, Jane a whole quiet week. I'm sure you will find something to pass the time."

Yeah sure... what happened to Walker? Is he in custody? And Harris, Dave and that pig?

"They were all arrested don't worry. Harris already confessed to the murder of the young woman whose murder we were supposed to investigate originally. Guess that didn't work out. Remind me to never drive into a forest again with you as my only company. Oh and while we're at it. Don't ever knock on doors of creepy looking mansions with limousines in front of them again."

Hey! It was not my fault that you were scared. I wanted to find a way out of there for you. You should be grateful!

"Grateful? Because you always get yourself in trouble I had to save you. Again. I had to spent hours in a cramped trunk with you and I should be grateful?"

You liked to snuggle up to me, admit it. And don't put all the blame on me. It wasn't our fault those guys were in the area.

Lisbon sighed and nodded. "You're right Jane, I guess it was just bad luck. We should have stayed in the car and waited for the storm to be over. Oh, that reminds me... Jane...you remember what you did in the car?" Uhoh Jane thought. She doesn't look very happy.

Uhm... hold you hand? To make you less scared?

"You know what I mean! Why did you kiss me?" It didn't really bother her, she even kind of liked it, but she really wanted to know why he did that.

I'm sorry! You were so scared I wanted to distract you from the storm. Did it work?

She had to admit it did work. She just nodded at him and was a little disappointed with his reason. So it was just a mean to get her to think about something else.

Jane saw the disappointment in her eyes but didn't know what to do about it. It was true he really liked the kiss and he cared for his raven haired boss much more than he should and much more than he could put into words. But he didn't know if he could make peace with his past and give up his quest for revenge. He put those thoughts into the back of his mind and tried to lighten her mood.

So what about that vacation you talked about earlier? Are you still up for it? You know with your arm like that you will need some help? Can I accompany you?

"Seriously Jane? You think I would take you of all people to go on vacation with me? That will be the only time I can finally relax and have some free time from you."

Don't be mean Lisbon. You like me and you would love to spend some time with me.

"In your dreams Jane... you seem to be feeling better so I'm going now to get a cup of coffee. Don't annoy the nurses while I'm gone."

Jane watched her go with a smile. It was finally over and everything was alright again. Now all that's left was for him to find a way to get her to let him go on vacation with her. Even though he didn't know what he would do about those feelings in the back of his head, there was nothing wrong with spending some fun in the sun with his favorite agent in the world.

~The End~

A/N: So that's it. My first story is finished yay! Did you like it? I know there was not really a case like I said but Jane and Lisbon just wouldn't move over to let the other characters have some adventures. At the end of most of the stories Lisbon and Jane get together after all the trouble they went through but I think it's not so easy with them. They both, especially Jane have a lot of baggage they carry around and I don't think a few difficult situations are enough to let them jump each other. I think those situations are good to get them thinking about what they have and don't have and what they really want. So sorry to disappoint some of you but they won't get together at this point(: I'm not sure how to continue now though. Shall I write a sequel or a new story? I have ideas for both. Or nothing at all because my writing sucks? I kind of liked it but you are the ones who read it so it's up to you to decide. I'd really like to hear your thoughts so leave me a review :) Sorry for the long Author's Note:)

Thanks for reading!
