The team drove for most of the evening in silence, all caught up in there train of thought. Lisbon watched as each of her team member began to drop like flies, as they were consumed in to a deep sleep. All of them apart from the blonde consultant beside her, who was staring out in to the night sky.

Lisbon had known about Jane's sleeping problems for a while now, but every time she had tried to confront him about it he'd push her away or change the subject completely. She sighed and looked up at the night sky and was met by the twinkle of stars above. She had always been fascinated by the night sky ever since her Mother had told her that all the stars represented someone. She smiled to herself liking the thought of her Mother watching over her.

"Do you think there up there?" Jane whispered.

Lisbon glanced a look at him. "What do you mean?" she asked him, already knowing the answer.

"Your Mother used to say that all the stars represented someone you loved thats passed over to the other side, am I right?" he said throwing a glance at her.

Lisbon nodded and smiled softly at Jane. "

You know what I think Jane?" she said quietly.

He looked at her his deep seas blue eyes looking in to hers with pain and guilt.

"I think there up there looking down on you right now" she said it quietly only loud enough for him to hear.

He smiled solemnly, looking her in the eyes once again. It felt like time stood still and it took all Lisbon's strength to tear her eyes away from his and turn them back to the road.

"Lisbon, I think we should maybe stop for the night and find a hotel" he said softly.

"Yeah your right I'll stop at the next one I see" she said with a sigh.

She stopped in the car park of a run down hotel that seemed like it was in the middle of no where. Cutting of the engine she rested her head on the head rest of the seat and let out a sigh.

"Tired?" Jane said letting out a chuckle.

Lisbon nodded smiling. She loved to see him smile, she hadn't seen him smile in so long. She got out of the car and opened the back door. Lisbon stifled back a laugh seeing Cho sleeping with drool trailing down his face was a sight she had to remember. She shook him awake softly and had her mouth open to tell him they were gonna stop here for the night, but stopped. Here ayes were staring at Jane's as he looked at her intently. Her breath hitched in her throat.

"What are you staring at?" She asked her eyes searching his.

Her heart was skipping beats and she wouldn't be surprised if Cho could hear it pounding away like a drum from where he was sitting.

"Uh... is everything ok?" Rigsby asked looking awkwardly between Lisbon and Jane.

Lisbon blushed a bit , just realizing her eyes hadn't left Jane's.

"Um... yes Rigsby everything is... fine" She finished looking at her feet so no-one could see the shade of red She was.

After grabbing her belongings she walked in to the reception to see a you girl chewing gum and listening to her ipod, that was playing blast loud in her ears. Lisbon approached her giving her a friendly smile and to her shock the teenager took one look at her then returned her gaze back to her computer, which had the website facebook up on it. Lisbon raised an eyebrow yet still the teenager ignored them. Sighing frustrated she leaned over the desk pulled out the girls ear phone before giving her famous death glare as Jane called it.

"Hey! Listen up, we had the worst day imaginable and I've just drove all the way out here from Scara- bloody- mento!So if you wouldn't mind as to give us the damn respect we deserve and serve us and give us a freaking room!" she snapped at the teenager.

"Whoa dude! Chill out man... I'll get you a room" she said looking a bit shocked as she handed them all keys.

"Thank you... dude" Lisbon mimmicked.

She heard Jane chuckle as she headed up the stairs to there designated rooms.

"Bit grumpy are we?" Jane said with a laugh as he hurried up the stairs to catch up with her.

"I'm just tired" She said with a soft smile.

I"'m going to hit the sack... Night everyone!" Grace chimed.

"Night Grace" they all replied in unison.

Lisbon looked back to Jane who was again staring at her intently.

"I... um... I'm gonna join Grace on the sleeping idea" she muttered turning around to unlock her room's door and so he didn't see the blush that was warming her cheeks.

"Ok, good night... dude" he said with a wink that turned her whole face in to an embarrassing shade of scarlet.

I couldn't resist that "good night dude" at the end :D

Up Next...

"What do you mean by that Jane! And don't give me any crap I want the truth!"

"FINE! Red John is behind this!"
