New York, New York (C/R&I xover)
The Badass and The Mighty
Detective Jane Rizzoli couldn't believe that she was dragged to New York for a few vacation days. She couldn't either believe that she was going to watch some shows on Broadway. She looked to her side to find the beautiful blonde ME who had convinced her to take some days off, arguing that the detective was too stressed and she needed some rest.
They were both walking down the street, when an ambulance passed them by with such an incredibly speed. Both women turned around and only Jane seemed concerned.
"Jane, this is not your city. You're not a cop here" Maura said, placing a kind hand on the detective's shoulder.
"Yeah, I know Maura. It's kind of a reflex" Jane declared.
Maura did not removed her hand and kept walking down the street to find a bunch of people gathered on one corner. Both women shared a long gaze and moved forward the scene.
It was late and the sky was threatening with a hard storm. Maura was the first one to get through the crowd to see a man lying on the floor with a blood pool next to him. Jane was soon next to her. There were two policemen protecting the zone that didn't allow the two women pass besides affirming they were a detective and a forensic.
"Hey, jackass, move aside!" Jane said, flashing her badge. She felt a intense look from Maura but she didn't care.
"We were supposed to relax while we were here, Jane" the ME said, kneeling beside the dead man body.
"Well, murder does not relax, Maura" the detective said, joining her partner in the ground.
"Castle, let's go!" Kate Beckett yelled across the 12th Precinct. She saw how the writer picked his coat and ran to met her in the elevators.
"Who's dead now?" Castle asked, waiting the elevator to touch the final floor.
"We'll know when we get there" said Beckett. She was such a tease, but Castle didn't mind, in fact he secretly liked it.
They arrived to the crime scene later than both had expected. The killer had chosen one of the most busiest streets in the world for committing a crime.
They got out of the car and walked to where everyone was gathered.
"A murder committed on Broadway, that's gotta mean something" Castle said as they were getting closer. Beckett shot him a look to shut him up as she was putting her gloves on. She saw Esposito outside the crowd and walked towards him.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, referring to him being outside the crowd.
"The uniforms said that there were two women attending the body. One detective and forensic from Boston" he announced Beckett.
"From Boston? What does Boston PD has to do here in New York?" she said, more to herself than to Esposito. Castle was just behind her and heard everything that Esposito had said.
Beckett and him walked through he crowd to find a very beautiful woman near the body, examining it and a black haired woman who was attentive hearing what the forensic was saying.
A smile was drawn across Beckett's face. She couldn't believe what she was watching.
"Look who's that. It's the badass detective Jane Rizzoli" she said in a very happy tone.
The Boston detective rose her eyes to find the brown's of her old partner back in the days of the Academy. She stood up with a large smile in her face.
"The mighty Kate Beckett" she said, pulling Beckett into a bear-hug. They remained in that position for a long time and a big smile in their faces while Castle and Dr. Isles interchanged awkward looks wondering what was happening.
