As they pull apart, the taste of the kiss still buzzing on their lips, the guard bursts into the room.

"Lady I'm going to have to tell you to leave, no fraternizing with the prisoner is allowed."

Lisbon looks at Jane who raises his eyebrows and mouths 'fraternizing' and she can't hide a smile. He turns his attention to the guard.

"Is that what we were doing, fraternizing?"

He hears a familiar plea.

"Jane."

He looks towards her.

"We just kissed, don't you think it should be Patrick now."

She slightly tilts her head.

"Depends if you're acting like a jerk or not."

"Oh. Good to get that rule out in the open."

He turns his attention back to the guard.

"First of all fraternizing is from the word fraternal and I don't think that what Teresa and I were doing was anything brotherly. Secondly, have a heart man, I just declared my love to this woman after nearly letting her go to another man because I was too afraid to open myself up to love again after my wife and child were murdered by a serial killer and left me traumatized,as I'm sure you can understand."

The guard looks shell-shocked.

"I guess…"

"You guess!...do you mind if I sit down my foot is killing me."

The guard shakes his head.

"Is that no you don't mind or no I can't sit down."

"You can sit down."

Jane lowers himself in to his chair and lifts his foot up and rests in on the second chair and looks back at the guard shaking his head.

"You guess. He not only killed my wife and child but also kidnapped the first woman I tried to date and destroyed her brain so that she thinks she's dead even though she's alive. He killed the doctor who helped me to come to terms with the death of my family and there's been so much more that you wouldn't believe. So it's been hard for me to move on. But I've said it now and it feels good, so surely you can forgive me for kissing her."

The guard looks bewildered between Jane and Lisbon. Lisbon almost feels sorry for him.

"Okay, you can stay, but no more kissing."

Jane holds his hands up.

"I promise no more kissing."

The guard backs out the door and Lisbon smiles at Jane.

"Let's be clear, that promise was only for while we're in this room right."

"You better believe it!"

Author's notes: I hope you enjoyed the little tag, there will be another chapter as Jane's adventure at with airport security isn't over.
