I never knew what love was. Sure, I had my parents, but I never really had a family. I went to boarding school in France the second I was old enough to ask to be sent there. I never made friends, I never had a significant other, there was no one. No, there was no way for me to know what real love was. I read about it in books and literature and the concept was there, yet there was no one that ever made me feel that… not in a romantic sense, not in a companionate sense, not in any shape way or form… that is, until I met her.
She was the first person I'd ever met who took my breath away. The first time I looked into those big chocolate eyes, my heart felt like it had skipped a beat. I was in awe of her beauty from the get go, yet I had no way of knowing if this stranger felt the same way... not until she spoke.
"What do we got Korsak? It better be good if I had to get up at 3 in the morning for it. Where's Frost? He said he was making a coffee run on the way over here."
"Female, mid thirties, multiple stab wounds; we have no murder weapon yet. Frost is right behind you," Korsak stated.
"Here you go Jane. We all know how you can get when you don't get your coffee."
She punched Frost in the arm playfully. "Put a lid on it, would you? It's too early for this crap."
"… the carotid seems to have been severed. She bled out in a matter of seconds."
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Jane asked the woman crouched over the body. The woman turned and instantly locked eyes with Jane. Jane could feel a shiver run down her spine. This stranger's eyes were penetrating and seemed to see right through her. She rose to full height, made taller by the 5 inch heels she wore. She was impeccably dressed, not a single hair out of line. Jane began to wonder if this woman was a robot to be able to dress like this and be ready to answer a call in the middle of the night.
"My apologies, detective; you weren't present when I made my initial introduction. My name is Dr. Maura Isles, and I am the new Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Maura extended her hand, which Jane tentatively shook.
My God she has such soft hands. "I'm detective Jane Rizzoli. What happened to Dr. Pike?" I'm so glad he's not here. I'd rather deal with anyone but him… even this bimbo.
"I'm afraid Dr. Pike has been relieved of his duties. I am not aware of his whereabouts, though he will no longer he working for the state."
Cheers could be heard all around.
"I didn't realize my predecessor was so disliked."
"None of us in homicide liked that incompetent idiot," came Jane's reply. "They finally had the good senses of firing him, and I sure hope they made a competent decision in hiring you."
Maura was taken aback with Jane's words. "I assure you detective, that while I am new to the department, I have plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to my job in order to perform it beyond expectations. I am sure no one will have any complaints with neither the accuracy nor the professionalism which I bring to the unit."
"I apologize Dr. Isles; I didn't mean to insult you. We were just really tired of Pike. I'm sure you're much better than him. I don't question your credentials in the least. I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot."
"It's alright, detective. I've finished my evaluation of the body. If there is nothing else, I'll release it so that it can be taken back to the morgue where I will conduct the autopsy. I will have results later this morning for you. If you will all excuse me…" With that, Maura made her exit and headed towards her staff to have the body transported. Once the arrangements had been made, she headed to her car and drove off in direction to the precinct.
"Jeez… was it something I said?" Jane asked.
"Was that comment really necessary Jane?" Korsak asked.
"What? You saw how she was dressed. How do we even know if this woman has any brains in that head of hers? She looks like some kind of bimbo wanting to impress everyone with her looks. Maybe she's trying to make up for deficiencies when it comes to work."
"Jane, give the woman a break. It's her first case here. Can you at least shut up long enough for her to give us some results? Maybe then you can actually form an informed opinion of her." Korsak stated.
"Yeah Jane, just because the woman is beautiful and knows how to dress doesn't mean she isn't smart. She could be a genius for all we know," Frost piped in.
"Shut it you two, I've had enough. Let's get back to work." The truth was she found she needed to know more about this new mystery woman. She didn't know why, but she knew that she needed to find out everything she could about Maura Isles.
