I hope you'll like it will be willing come back for more.

Right now I hope to add one chapter a week but I won't promise anything. You know with school and everything.

So, happy reading and leave me some reviews :)

Detective Jane Rizzoli is sitting at her desk in the bullpen of BPD Homicide Unite.

She's finishing the paperwork for the case they just closed. It's almost 10 p.m. and there are only a few more things she needs to handle before she's ready.

Many of her colleagues are already gone. Frost left two hours ago. Hot date, he said although Jane is not sure if she really believes him. Crow and the rest of his buddies are off too probably somewhere drinking their asses off and bothering normal people.

The only ones left in the office are now Jane, her former partner Vince Korsak and their Lieutenant Sean Cavanaugh.

Those two are currently in the Lieutenant's office and Jane is trying to not think about what they are talking about. The blinds are closed so it can't be nothing good right?

In that moment the door open and Korsak's head appears in the doorway.

"Jane, can you come here for a moment?" He waits for her nod and then he's gone again.

Jane pushes away from the desk and heads for the office all the way there wondering what is going on.

She's not in trouble right? Korsak would look angry or upset if she was but he looked fine, maybe a little nervous but fine.

When she enters the room she doesn't even bother to close the door. What for when they are the only ones here.

"Rizzoli, sit down."Cavanaugh says from his seat behind his desk and gestures to the one free chair for her to take.

Her eyes narrow suspiciously but she sits down nonetheless. Those two men are probably the only people in her life she trusts unconditionally, maybe with the exception of her brother Frankie.

"What's going on, Sean?" She asks curious at the looks they keep giving each other. Korsak nods at Cavanaugh, giving him the all clear to continue.

"As you know, Dr. Williams is going to retire next week. And we wanted to give you a little heads up. The new M.E. is going to be here tomorrow to introduce herself and to start settling in so that the transition can be as smooth as possible."

Jane nods in acknowledgement. She is curious about the replacement of their current M.E. Dr. Williams is good at his job and he is always very nice to her. That's how the people that knew her from when she was a kid treated her and Lucas Williams is one of those few people same as Korsak and Cavanaugh.

The rest just think she's tough, rude and reckless, that's all they see. That's all she lets them see.

"Thanks for letting me know."

"No problem, Jane. We know you don't get along well with new people, so maybe if you're prepared it could help some." Korsak chuckles a little.

Jane laughs a little sarcastically with a smirk on her face. "Yeah, right. So, are you gonna tell me who it is?"

"Her name is Dr. Maura Isles…" Korsak starts but is interrupted by surprised Jane.

"Wait, Isles? As in Isles foundation?" she asks a little annoyed. She hates these rich, arrogant people. She even met with Constance Isles, the head of the foundation, on a fundraiser where she was forced to go a year ago, by the Police Commander. The woman didn't even spare a look to Jane when they were formally introduced.

But she heard the only daughter of Constance and Richard Isles is not the same. She never met her so she can't tell from experience which is why she's not going to jump to conclusions, she won't judge until she knows who she's judging.

"Yoah, that's her. Look I know you don't like these people but from what I heard she's nothing like her parents. I think she's not even in contact with them. We just have to wait ok? I believe you'll do your best to make Dr. Isles feel welcome."

Jane stays quiet for a minute. She doesn't want to promise anything. She's nervously rubbing her hands together, circling the scar on the palm of her right hand with her thumb.

"I'll try." She says, looking away.

Korsak and Cavanaugh exchange a look. They both know that how things are going to be is not entirely up to Jane. It depends on the first meeting and the impression the doctor is going to have on Jane. There's nothing they can do other than hope it'll go ok.

"We know you will."

She nods and waits for either of the men to continue but they remain silent she stands to leave.

"Is that all?" she asks.

Cavanaugh smiles and nods. "You should go home, Jane. You're exhausted and the paperwork can wait.

Jane nods to them both and heads for the door. When she's almost out she stops and spins around.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Ma wanted me to ask if you two are coming for Sunday dinner. Especially you, Sean, since you skipped last week."

"Oh, yeah, sorry about that. You can tell her to count me in. I love Angela's cooking." Sean says smiling at the thought of Angela Rizzoli's delicious homemade Italian food.

Jane chuckles at the dreamy look on her lieutenant's face. She turns to Vince and can't help but laugh when she sees the same look. Men are all the same. Give them good food and you'd get anything you wanted. Too bad Jane can't cook.

"I guess you're coming too, Vince." She says with a smirk as they both come back to the present.

"Sure, Jane. Just stay away from the food. I don't want to get poisoned." He jokes, knowing full well the only thing Jane can do without burning is boiled water.

"Ha ha. Very funny old man. I'll remember that when we have our next round on the shooting range. I'll kick your ass."

"You wish."

Jane shakes her head once again heads for the door.

"Night, guys." She calls over her shoulder and goes to retrieve her thing from her desk.

The two detectives answer with their own 'Night, Jane' and watch their friend as she heads out of the bullpen and to the elevator.

"You think it's going to work?" Sean asks slowly.

Korsak takes a minute to answer.

"I hope so. You know Jane changed a lot over the years. People think she's bad now but she used to be even worse. You know that as well as I do. What I'm trying to say is that if the doc makes a good impression at the first meeting Jane is going to do her best. She doesn't judge without a reason, you know that. Everything is going to be fine. And we will have the best M.E. there is." He says with conviction.

"I hope you're right, Vince. God knows if we had to hire Pike as the Chief Medical Examiner Jane would kill him on the spot. And truthfully I would help her burry the body."
