"I have never heard of you" Jane replied harshly refusing to shake the FBI Special Agent's hand.

"That is the point Detective Rizzoli" Agent Dorsey responded. "But I have heard of you and I would appreciate it if you do not interfere in my operation".

"Dr. Isles is my best friend" Jane argued knowing that for some time now she has secretly had more than friendly feelings for her beautiful best friend, "and I will do what I think is best for her".

The best possible thing has already been done for Dr. Isles, the FBI was called and I will handle the situation from here. Now if you do not mind, I stopped by to introduce myself as a courtesy, but seeing that Dr. Isles is your best friend I am sure we will be seeing a lot of each other" the FBI Agent said before excusing herself from the Homicide Unit of the Boston Police Department.

The elevator doors opened and she entered and pressed the M button to take her down to the morgue.

"Who was that?" Frost asked entering the pen.

"FBI Special Agent Shay Dorsey" Jane growled.

"For Maura?" Frost asked feeling Jane's anger growing internally.

Jane nodded before sitting down at her desk to call her old friend Gabriel Dean.

Sitting behind her desk reading lab results Maura looked up as she heard a light knock on her office door.

"Come in" she said politely shutting her lap top and standing to greet her visitor. Maura adjusted her skirt, smoothing out any wrinkles that may have formed from sitting in her office chair as she rounded the desk.

"Dr. Isles?" the unfamiliar voice asked entering the office. Agent Dorsey had already studied Dr. Maura Isles' FBI file which included professional and personal background information as well as photographic surveillance the FBI compounded since becoming aware of who her biological father was.

Maura looked up to meet the stranger's eyes. It didn't often happened that something could take Maura's breath away but the crystal clear green eye's she was staring into left her speechless.

"Dr. Isles" Agent Dorsey repeated.

Maura blinked and inhaled deeply, "the combination of amber pigmentation of the stoma and moderate concentration of melanin with blue tones has combined beautifully" she said.

"I'm sorry?" Agent Dorsey said unable to follow the doctor. "Your eyes, they are incredible. Your specific pigmentation is very rare" Maura explained walking closer to the stranger. "How can I help you?" she asked.

"I am Special Agent Shay Dorsey. I believe you were expecting me" Agent Dorsey introduced herself by extending her hand.

"Yes, of course. Dr. Maura Isles" she said taking the agents hand.

"I hope I am not disturbing your work" Agent Dorsey said breaking the silence as the two stood shaking hands admiring each other's features. Although Agent Dorsey had studied pictures of Maura they did not do her justice. It was impossible for the Special Agent not to notice Maura's beauty.

"It is quite alright Special Agent Dorsey" Maura replied professionally.

"Please call me Shay or Agent Dorsey if my first name is too informal for you. We are going to be working closely together and Special Agent Dorsey is a mouthful" she replied.

"Okay, Agent Dorsey. Would you like to have a seat?" Maura offered after finally releasing the Agent's hand and wanting to be respectful of the professional status the stunning woman had achieved.

"Well Dr. Isles, I wish we were meeting under very different circumstances" Agent Dorsey said following Maura towards a seating area in her office. "But the fact of the matter is that area crime families have made specific threats against your life in effort to draw your father out of hiding".

"Paddy Doyle is not my father" Maura fired back quickly. She still hated the fact that she was in anyway associated to such a notoriously bad person.

"I am sorry Dr. Isles but that does not change the fact that your life is in danger" Agent Dorsey said calmly knowing a response like that was possible when mentioning Doyle and Maura's relationship.

"I understand Agent Dorsey and I apologize for my reaction but I do not consider Patrick Doyle to be my father" Maura said regretting her previous response. "So can you tell me what your purpose here is? I am still a little confused about you. I understand that the FBI wants to capture Doyle but they have never assigned someone to me before."

"I can tell you anything you want to know Dr. Isles. I have permission to have you read in on all case and mission details" Agent Dorsey replied.

"Mission?" Maura questioned.

"You are my mission. I have direct order's to ensure your safety throughout the on-going operation. The FBI believes that the other 'Families' in Boston are a greater danger to the public than Patrick Doyle at the moment. My mission is two-fold. The first objective is to ensure your safety. The second is to capture or kill the head's of the Donahue, Flanagan, and O'Leary families.

"How are you going to do that?" Maura asked.

"I have a team of 4 other agents who will be arriving in Boston in the next 2 days. We have rented the house next door to yours. It will be our forward operating base and it will of course give me access to you. The other agents you will never see. They are intelligence operatives, not field agents. They will help me track and pursue the targets. I will be with you almost 24 hours a day to ensure your safety. Together we must build my cover identity." Agent Dorsey took a breath unsure of what Dr. Isles' reaction would be to the next part.

Maura nodded her head trying to listening intently.

"Based upon personal research the FBI has conducted on you, I was chosen for this assignment because of certain physical attributes I have that may be appealing to you based upon your known previous romantic relationships" Agent Dorsey said quickly.

Maura sat across from the agent watching her lips move. Maura had moved from the Agents beautiful green eyes down to her naturally pink lips. Maura was glancing between the two watching the way her mouth moved when she spoke. She found herself fascinated with the Agent's striking features.

"So we are romantically involved?" Maura asked quickly.

"Yes. Is that going to be a problem?" Agent Dorsey asked knowing that Maura was not currently in a publically known relationship.

"Yes it will be."
