There were two police officers standing in the foyer to the large open office. This was unusual. Usually the local cops avoided the CBI building. They didn't like that every time the CBI were around, they took over the cases. In fact, no one currently in the large room could remember the last time one of the local Sacramento police was here.

Rigsby had been sent to tell Lisbon that they were here. They had asked to speak with her. She had been in a bad mood today. Jane hadn't shown up for work yet and it was a lot later than when he usually showed up.

When he knocked on the door the grumpy response of "What?" was all the greeting he received.

"Hey, boss, there's some cops here to speak to you," Rigsby said, opening the door and poking his head in.

"So show them in. What are you waiting for?" Lisbon was really annoyed. She didn't even look up at Rigsby as she was talking to him.

"Sure thing boss." Rigsby replied. He left the door open and waved to the cops for them to come over. They entered the room and Rigsby shut the door behind him, assuming that they would like some privacy.

Rigsby went back over to his desk and looked at Lisbon office. He could see through the blinds at Lisbon still sitting at her desk and the two cops standing in front of her desk. "Hey, what do you think they're here for?" he asked no one in particular.

"Maybe she has unpaid parking tickets." Cho said in a dead pan voice.

"No, more likely they need some help with an investigation and wanted to ask in person." Van Pelt said.

They were all looking through the window now and noticed when Lisbon seemed to visibly shrink into herself. Her face went white and she looked like she was in shock. She didn't even seem to notice when the police officers turned to leave. They didn't look at anyone as they quickly left the office. It seemed like they couldn't get out fast enough.

The team looked into Lisbon's office again and noticed that she hadn't moved. Van Pelt was the first one to stand up and head toward the office. Obviously something was wrong. It took only seconds for the rest of the team to follow her.

Van Pelt knocked on the door that the police officers had left open and went in with out waiting for Lisbon to say it was ok. "Are you ok, boss? What did the cops need?"

She just sat there for what seemed like ages, but was really just a few seconds before she spoke. "There was a six car pileup this morning. Really bad. A Semi truck lost control and jackknifed on the freeway. Two people died, six people in the hospital in serious condition and three in critical condition."

"Ok," Van Pelt waited for her to go on. She was getting to something, but for some reason needed to take time getting there.

"One of the people in critical condition managed to give the police some information before he was taken into surgery. He asked them to come here and tell us what had happened." She was having a hard time controlling her emotions. Van Pelt realized what she was saying and collapsed into one of the chairs in front of the desk.

"No, you can't mean…" Rigsby started to ask, but couldn't bring himself to finish the question. Cho was just standing there. He didn't know what to do or say. He wouldn't believe it until he heard Lisbon say it herself.

Lisbon took a deep shuddering breath before continuing. "The police were here to tell me that Jane was one of the people in the pile up this morning. He's at the hospital in critical condition. They don't know if he's going to make it."
