Detective Jane Rizzoli was in shock. How could she have cancer? She was only 36. There was a lot that she still wanted to do with her life. Her mother, Angela, was sitting next to her in the doctor's office, holding her hand in a show of support, looking just as shocked as Jane felt.
"Detective, I understand this is quite a shock," said Dr. Titan. "To be honest, though, we are extremely lucky you and your wife found the lump when you did. Detective?"
Jane looked up, wiping away tears. "Sorry, I guess I zoned out for a minute."
"No need to apologize. I'll give you a few minutes to compose yourself, and then we can go over treatment options, ok." Dr. Titan walked out of her office, leaving Jane & Angela sitting there.
As soon as the door shut, Angela stood up. "WIFE?! You married a woman? That's just wrong Jane, its immoral. Who is this harlot that turned you gay?"
"Ma! I didn't get 'turned gay' by Maura. We just are, Ma!"
"I can't believe it. No wonder you have cancer. Its God's way of punishing your sins." With that, Angela grabbed her purse and stormed out of Dr. Titan's office.
Jane knew that Maura was at work, and wouldn't think twice about going to the café for coffee, so she sent off a quick text to her wife. Ma knows about us, and is royally pissed. Still at Dr's. Love you. Jane put her phone away just as Dr. Titan walked back in.
"Was that your mother leaving?"
"Yeah, she had to get to work. She's not to, uh, happy that I'm gay."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It will be fine. So, Doc, what are my options?"
Officer Frank Rizzoli walked into the Morgue where Dr. Maura Isles was currently sewing up the Y-incision on her latest 'patient'. "Hey, Maura."
"Frankie, are you here to yell at me as well?"
"No. I'm here because Frost wants to know what you got on the Hirst case. But who's been yelling at you. I'll kick Jane's ass if it was her."
"It wasn't Jane, Frankie, but thank you. It really doesn't matter. Anyways, cause of death was exsanguination due to the 3 stab wounds in his abdomen. He bled out relatively quickly due to a nick in the renal…"
"Doc, do you know what kind of knife it was?"
"Forensics is working on that, as well as the fibers I found on his shirt."
"Thanks, Doc. See ya later.
After Frankie left, Maura put Mr. Hirst in the cooler and changed back into her street clothes. She was beginning to worry as she hadn't heard from Jane this morning, but picking up her cell phone, she noticed 2 text messages from Jane. Checking the second message first, Going to apartment. Don't wanna deal with Ma. Love you. Maura decided that the paperwork she was going to spend the rest of the day doing could be done at home, or wait until tomorrow. She quickly packed her things, and let her techs that she was reachable by cell phone if they needed her.
