Jane sat sat at her desk, legs crossed, twirling a pen between two fingers reading through cold case files due to the slow day. Not that Jane wanted someone to die today, but sitting still was not something she would like to do. She let out a loud sigh and turned to Frost throwing down her pen, closing the files and asked, "Wanna go out for lunch?"
"You just got back twenty minutes ago with Maura." Frost sniggered
"Ugh, I hate slow days like these, Cavanaugh insists on going over cold cases or doing nothing but paperwork."
"Quit the complaining Rizzoli and take a break, not that you've done much anyways." Korsak said from across the precinct returning back to his YouTube videos.
"Yeah, I haven't done much, coming from an old man who's been watching kitten videos for the past two hours." Jane got up, grabbed her jacket from the back of her chair and added, "I'm going downstairs to see what Maura's doing."
Korsak paused the video laughing and teased, "Going to go check in on your girlfriend?"
"Shut up Korsak, even if Maura was my girlfriend at least she walks upright and she's not covered in fur." Satisfied with her comeback, Jane walked across the room and headed towards the elevator.
Tears sprang from Frosts eyes he was laughing so hard, "Uhh, you set yourself up for that one, old man.!"
"Why does everyone keep calling me old, I'm only old enough to be you brother."
The elevator doors dinged signaling its arrival at Jane's floor. She stepped in jabbing at the button to take her to the basement. Leaning against the back wall Jane began to think about what Korsak said. Maybe dating a woman might not be so bad, I haven't had to much luck with the men in my life. Everybody has tried a same sex relationship at least once right. So i guess this could be my one time. Crossing her arms over her chest, she began to seriously think about the option when suddenly the doors to the elevator opened with a jerk.
Maura was standing over a body elbow deep in the 23 year old male, named John Fenway. A young man that committed suicide over his ex-fiancé after she broke off the engage meant saying she was falling for someone else. The news broke the fiancé's heart. John wrote a note stating if he couldn't be loved by the one woman he was head over heels in love with, then life wasn't worth living.
Noticing that Maura hadn't seen her come in Jane decided to scare her. "Hey!" Jane shouted, scaring the ME and causing her to yelp in surprise.
"Jane you scared me, I didn't hear you come in." Shrieked the ME grabbing her chest.
Saying with a little mirth "I didn't mean to." Jane walked around the dead people table and sat on top of the sink across from Maura swinging her feet back and forth in a childlike way and asked, "Whatcha doing?
Pulling off her blue latex gloves and throwing them not the disposable trash bin she replied, "Placing Mr. Fenway's organs back where they belong. You know heart break or dying of a broken heart, as some would say, is the physical pain one feels in their Myocardium caused by intense emotional pain of lossing a loved one in anyway. Although "heartbreak" ordinarily does not imply any physical defect in the heart, there is a condition known as "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy", where a traumatising incident triggers the brain to distribute chemicals that weaken heart tissue. I've never witnessed or experienced heartbreak before but then again I haven't had to deal with..."
She was cut off by Jane's laughter and a hand raised in the air, "Wait, wait, wait, I just got down here and you're already going all Google Mouth on me. And what is taco-sub cardiomayo something?"
"Oh I do apologize, takotsubo cardiomyopathy is the medical term for the chemicals that causes the heart to weaken." Maura furrowed her brows in confusion wondering why Jane found death by heart funny. "Why does deadly heart break make you laugh?"
Sobering up noticing the hurt and confusion on her best friends face she answered, "I don't think it's funny, Maur, I'm sorry. I just find the whole google mouth thing funny. How you know everything or how someone could ask you a question and you give them the complete rundown." Her apology seemed to work because a smile graced the medical examiner's lips.
"Oh well, apology accepted and thank you. What brings you down here?" The ME asked curious as to why her friend came down so soon after only being back from lunch thirty minutes ago.
"Just, you know, bored got nothing else to do. Cavanaugh has everybody upstairs doing paperwork. Had to escape and this was the only place I could come." She chuckled.
"So you didn't come to see me, just using me." The ME smirked, walking around to sit at her desk.
"Not you, just your space." She smirked right back
"Well, if that's all I'm good for is harboring a fugitive, then I would hope it would be someone I like." Maura smiled and laughed at her own joke turning her back to Jane to cover the hives that cover her neck and upper chest area.
"Ha ha ha, Maura, very funny. I can see the hives from over here. And everyone already knows that I'm the best thing that's ever happened to Maura Dorothea Isles." Jane said with a hint of mirth and seriousness as she hopped off the counter and swaggered her way to stand behind her best friend.
Turning her chair around, she stared into Jane's eyes and said honestly, "Yes I know and i also know Jane Clementine Rizzoli is the bestest best friend I've ever had. Actually she's the only best friend I've had." Blushing slightly, Jane clasped her hands together in front of her and used her friend, deflection, and said, "I always heard this woman named, Jane, was something special. And did Dr. Isles use the word "bestest" I'm shocked?"
Maura laughed and replied, "Yes I did and I think the improper grammatical term was called for." Her smile was sincere and shown nothing but the love she had for Jane, her one and only best friend. God she's beautiful. Wait why did I just think that, I mean of course she's beautiful but I've never just randomly thought that. I wonder if she heard me. Of course she can't hear me I'm talking to myself in my head. It's just me myself and I.
Maura seeing the inner turmoil on Janes face stood up and touched her should and asked with concern, "Jane are you alright, your face shows you're experiencing some inner commotion or disturbance. Is there anything I can help you with?"
This snapped Jane out of her trance causing her to jump away from Maura's touch. "Uh. Uhm, yeah. I'm fine." She looks at her watch and thinks of an excuse and Changes the subject, "It's almost 3:00, I should be heading back upstairs but thanks for offering to help me, I really am fine. See ya later?" Jane ran out the door before she could even let her respond.
"Sure." Maura said to no one, stunned as to why Jane would just run out like that. "I hope she's alright.
Jane stepped back in the elevator pacing back in forth in the small space. Why did I just run out like that, she probably thinks I'm crazy? More importantly why did I let Korsak get me all crazy today? The doors opened signaling her exit. She ran to the parking lot and pulled out her phone. I can't talk to Maura about this especially not after that warm feeling I got when she smiled, what if she smiles again and I go all hormonal teenage boy. I know who ill talk to, he's pretty much my only option right now anyways.
She began to dial her friends number and after two rings he picked up. "Hey Frost, I gotta talk to you about something."
