Jane was tapping the edge of her pen against her desk top; a nervous habit Korsak had picked up on a while ago.

"Jane, we've got your back. It'll be ok"

Now where had she heard those words before?

"No. No it won't be 'ok', Vince. He's one person. You'd think they'd be able to keep him locked up."

"Jane, look at me" Korsak said taking Jane by the hands, "I promise I will protect you from Hoyt. He won't hurt you again"

Jane looked at him with pleading eyes as if to say "Don't say that, because you know you can't promise me that. And if you must say it, please keep your promise". She looked down and rubbed her scars, which seemed to ache whenever more of Hoyt's work popped up. And as if it was magic…

"Rizzoli, Korsak, murder in Southie. Get on it." Cavanaugh said walking through the bullpen. "And where the hell is Frost?"

"Probably practicing 'emersion therapy' with the good doctor" Korsak whispered to Jane, trying to lighten her mood. She put on a fake smile to humor him, but her mind was somewhere else, and he could tell. "I'll find him and tell him"

"Sounds good. Oh, and Jane take Dr. Isles with you, too"

"Sure" Jane said, distantly.

Maura rubbed gentle circles into Frost's back. "You don't have to stay down here for the whole autopsy. You did really well today" She encouraged.

"No! I want to stay" he said. After realizing he'd sounded a bit too desperate, he revised his statement. "I really want to be able to hold my own at a crime scene" he said. As he stared into Maura's beautiful eyes, he realized there was only about five inches of space separating their faces.

"Well now you can test out all this training you've been doing. We got a case" Korsak said as he and Jane entered the morgue. Maura noticed how close she and Frost were and the two separated and looked away from each other to try to avoid any awkwardness. They failed.

Jane seemed to forget her worries for a moment and gave Maura and Frost looks that said 'I'm so bringing this up later'

The group arrived on scene to see a man with all the signs to confirm the suspicions of Jane's scars: he had Taser burns on his neck and a clear scalpel slit on his throat. Jane shook a little and jumped at the reassuring hand placed on her back by Maura. She turned and gave the doctor an apologetic look and in turn, Maura gave her a sweet 'I'm here for you' look. They were going to find Hoyt. They needed to find Hoyt.

Maura stepped away to examine the body. She went through the victim's pockets and found a note. She read it.

Hello, Dr. Isles.
You're looking lovely lately.
I'll see you soon.
Until then, just remember,
You are like me.

It wasn't signed, but it didn't need to be. Seeing the look on Maura's face, Frost sucked up the sick feeling he had in his gut and came over to Maura to see what had upset her. It was accompanied by a photo of her unlocking her door.

"Don't worry, I won't let him close enough to take another" Frost whispered into Maura's ear, blood boiling.

Maura nodded. "Let's get the body back to the lab so I can open him up today" She suggested with her best game face on, masking her fear. Since she'd had enough of his work on her table, she knew what Hoyt was capable of.

"Jane, go home. Get some rest. Where's Frankie?" korsak asked

"Right here" he called, crawling under the crime scene tape.

"Take your sister home. No- not her place, too risky. Take her to your place or your parents' house. Make sure you're not being followed and don't leave her side" Korsak ordered. Oddly enough, jane didn't argue for once.

But Jane wasn't the one they needed to worry about.
