9. My Blue Heaven

Complete story — includes the ending

Two years have passed since the events of 'Red John' (the discovery that McAllister was Red John, and Jane's killing him), and Jane — who's been living on an island off the coast of Venezuela — receives a job offer; all criminal charges against him will be dropped if he agrees to work as a consultant for the FBI. Patrick eventually decides to accept (in part due to a woman he meets on the island named Kim), but on his own terms, which include working with Lisbon (now a small-town police chief in Washington State). Jane writes down a 4-point agreement on a napkin, of which he makes several photocopies, having Abbott sign the copies to indicate agreement with Jane's terms. However, once Jane is back in the United States, Abbott informs him that the 4-point agreement has no legal weight and that his signature on the copies means only that he acknowledged reading what Jane wrote on the napkin. Abbott says that either Jane will work for the Bureau on the Bureau's terms or he will face charges. When Jane refuses to agree to the Bureau's terms, Abbott (also revealing Kim to be an FBI agent) has Jane taken away to a "detention suite".
