Third Person POV

You and Jane have been close ever since he joined the team. Whenever he needed advice or comfort he would come to you and vice versa. You two are "like two peas in a pod" as Lisbon says it .You can always be seen together doing some kind of mischief. It's like you both share a brain, both of you tend to be childish and extremely intelligent. The only difference is that you're incredibly sensitive and easy to rile up. You're emotions always get the best of you. You have hated yourself for being sensitive for a long period of time, which your family can't seem to disagree with they always tell you "toughen up" and " Don't be a crybaby you wont go far in life". You learnt to cope with them but it still hurt a little. But look at where it got you, a part of the CBI having a better job than all of your "tough" relatives and family members. All of that mixed with anxiety? Nope you were done for.

After Jane joint the CBI and you solved a couple of cases together he decided to address the elephant in the room and asked you why you were so sensitive. You were hesitant but told him all about your crying issue. To him you seemed to keep downgrading yourself about it so he told you "Being sensitive doesn't make you weak it means that you have the ability to understand and empathize with others in a way most people cant. Sensitive people are like wildflowers, they grow in the most unexpected places. Look at where you are , you're a part of the CBI where you must deal with heart break, murders, death and grief almost everyday. You still thrive." That made you feel a lot better and you two became best friends.

He makes you feel safe and you make him feel.... happy? Well who knows. Your relationship with the rest of the team is just as good. Lisbon and you spend time together outside of work as well like going shopping, watching a movie or just chilling in each others houses. She and you talk to each other about your problems and cry on each others shoulders .Rigsby has always been the nice, giant dork. He and you share the love for food. He always brings you stuff to eat with him in the morning, like donuts or cookies. So you two are good friends. Cho was kind of cold when you first joined ,which you thought was solely directed towards you. But that was definitely not the case.

You quickly found out that Cho acts like that with everyone and it's just a facade. He's a good man under the cold gaze. He cares for you a lot and admires your determination and kind, caring attitude. He also loves your demonic side which you let go once in a while. He cracked a smile when you chased after a man like a panther and violently kicked him in the *cough* to catch him. That seems to be a problem as well. Your violent tendencies. You got angry at little things and would go to any heights to protect your friends.

Everyone was charmed by you and you're extremely childish and goofy ways. You loved being a part of the team and they loved to have you in it as well.

Back to the current scene

You were standing near the crime scene beside Jane observing everyone and trying to deduce the situation. Jane was trying to do the same but along with his lie detector abilities. You noticed the uncomfortable expression of the wife standing near the husband while he addressed the media. That was not a look of grief or sadness...it was fear. You suspected a abusive relationship which you would make sure about later. You looked at the kid who was being arrested and instantly realized he was not the killer. You felt a bit of pity but kept observing. You then spotted a man with an interesting tattoo but brushed it off as unimportant. 

All of a sudden you felt Jane grab you by the arm and drag you somewhere. You instinctively followed him and said "Where you goin?" He didn't reply and just kept dragging you towards the house. Oh you saw where this was going. An interrogation was about to take place. You both walked into the relatively large house together and he asked "Tea?" to which you replied "Sure I guess" You were technically intruding but did you care? Nope. He gave you a small grin and started to make the tea. You just watched him intently, you were surprised when he started making a sandwich like this was his own house. But you were amused so you kept silent.
