Jane was sitting at her at desk, studying the evidence of her latest case. She knew she was missing something, but she wasn't able to figure out, what exactly that was. At least not yet. She was definitely going to solve this case; it was only a matter of of the sudden, she was startled by loud paces. She knew immediately that it was her former partner Vince Korsak, because after two years of intense collaboration they knew nearly everything about each other. She knew how he liked his coffee; she knew that he was a huge animal lover, who would rather cross the whole B.P.D to save a spider instead of killing it. She also knew about his alcohol problem that destroyed his third and last marriage, the only one that had mattered to him. She witnessed his ups and downs and she knew how much he was "damaged". In turn, he knew her dark moments, her darkest moment. He saved her when she was pinned down to the floor with two scalpels. Because of Hoyt. He was the only one who had ever witnessed her broken. She repressed the memories of last summer and turned around.
"Hey Jane. I know you are in the middle of an exhausting case, but the new chief medical examiner has just arrived and I thought that we should welcome him."
Jane rolled her eyes and grumbled while she was getting up.
"I really hope the new one is more competent than 'because otherwise we won't solve any murder the next time, and that would really suck."
Korsak shook his head and headed down the entrance, where Lieutenant Cavanaugh was already waiting for them. He wasn't alone. Next to him stood a woman, who was probably as old as Jane, but it seemed that that was the only thing they had in common.
She was shorter than Jane and her hair was obviously lighter than Jane's brown curls. Her shoes alone were were possibly more expensive than Jane's whole outfit. The woman was wearing black high-heels, in which Jane wouldn't be able to walk only a few steps. Her red dress ended shortly above her knees and a black blazer completed the outfit. Her purse was from Armani because Jane remembered the logo. After Jane had looked the brunette one over, she turned to Cavanaugh.
"I thought our new Chief Medical Examiner starts working today"
The woman reached out her hand.
"Oh. I'm going to start soon. My name's Isles and I really look forward to our cooperation"
Janed didn't respond until Korsak slightly kicked her.
"Detective Jane Rizzoli. Even though your precursor was the biggest wimp of the whole planet, don't fuck up!"
was noticeable unsettled and did not know what to say. Cavanaugh darted an angry glance at Jane and quit the awkward silence.
"Let me show you your office "
As the two had entered the elevator, Jane looked at Korsak and said "I really hope that I'm not going to miss Pike..."
