“So, Red John.”

“It’s what I wanted,” he replied, sounding hollow.

“No more agents in the line of fire.”

“Except you.”

“And the team.”

“Yeah.”

I love this dialogue. And my shipper self loves that Jane said "Except you" and then agreed to the team being in the line of fire after. And love for Lisbon for thinking of her team ♥

Van Pelt was overly exuberant, but she often was whenever given the opportunity to work in the field rather than man the phones.

I think Van Pelt's a better agent than Rigsby.

She just had to suffer through it, alone; she couldn’t risk the lives of those she had grown to care about so much.

::hugs Van Pelt::

While most of the time she respected Lisbon’s authority, on cases involving Red John, she had to answer to somebody else instead.

Oh my Gosh, I only realised the full background story with this line! Oh my Gosh, this story is going to be soooooo good.

“Before you ask, I have absolutely no idea why Red John would prey on my ex-clients or what the link is between him and Hope Lovett,” he said, rather snappishly and Lisbon looked quite taken aback at his abrupt manner. “I’ve been trying to work it out.”

“I was actually going to ask if you were okay.”

“Oh.”

Love this dialogue as well. Love that Jane wrongly guessed what Lisbon was thinking. I love that Lisbon cares.

Okay 2nd part totally lived up to the first part. I am so, so, so intrigued by this. Can't wait for new chapters!

Oh I'm so glad this wasn't a disappointment! The tone is rather different to the other chapter... so yeah. Thank you!
