This story has a couple of graphic murders, there is rape, but there is also some Rizzles love.
I do not own anything Rizzoli and Isles except my love of the show and all it's participants. I write this in wishful thinking of becoming a great writer using this as a great forum as well as "window shopping" with the idea of writing for a show like this as well. Thank you for any interest you show and I am always welcome to constructive feedback to help me improve in all aspects of my writing.
Part 1:
When Detective Jane Rizzoli walks into the BPD bullpen she always turns heads. A tall, slender beautiful woman will always turn some heads but it is the addition of her badass confidence and take no shit attitude that turns them all. This particular morning she turned everyone's head with the sound of her heals hitting the floor with more force than normal. With her face filled with concern and anger she headed straight for the morgue and the comfort of her best friends words. Only Dr. Maura Isles can bring the calm to Jane at this moment.
When Jane walks into the Morgue she is automatically calmed from her anger but the sight before her quickens her heart all the same. The beautiful doctor stands alone in her office with her hip against the filing cabinet while she looks through a file at her desk. One foot on its toes as her knee props against the side of the desk. It took all the Rizzoli resolve to not slowly work her way up from that sculpted calf to those hazel eyes. She took a quick breath and walked into the office catching the doctor's eyes as she made her way to the very uncomfortable chair parked directly in front of the ME.
Maura had heard her BFF coming from the elevator with the obvious frustration in her footsteps but she didn't dare look up and let her know. She waited for the detective to make the first approach knowing that she needed to voice her frustrations. If she felt like she was being pushed the detective would retreat immediately into some sarcastic defense.
"Anything good in that file you are so focused on?" Jane asked not wanting to actually talk about what is bothering her. She just needed to have Maura near for a moment. It seems that lately that is all she has wanted. She is starting to second guess her personal interest in her "friendship" with Maura. Also beginning to be a little afraid of the fact that she is the only person she has ever sought after when she felt she needed someone close.
"I'm checking the details, making sure everything is properly filled out before I file it away." Maura looks up and gives that smile that lights up the room as well makes Jane's heart stop for just a moment. "What brings you down to visit me so early in the morning?" Maura knows what she wants the answer to be but also knows better. She immediately missed Jane the moment she left their movie night last night. It was actually kind of odd. The previous two movie nights Jane had just spent the night but for some reason she rushed out last night.
"Ma. She is driving me nuts. She called me this morning to invite me to dinner and quickly slipped in at the last moment that my old friend from high school, Mark, was coming. She is already setting me up again." Jane's frustration was starting to build again. "I just got done dodging the last setup she maneuvered. How do I make her stop?"
"Jane, she is just looking out for you. She wants to see you happy. That's all anybody who loves you wants." Maura had different words in her head than what came spilling out. She was afraid to spook her and never have the chance she had secretly been dreaming about recently.
"I know but it is just so frustrating. I don't know how to explain that I am not interested in anyone she could possibly think of setting me up with. She has no clue what I would truly be interested in and I certainly can't share it." Exasperated Jane decided to change the subject. "Did anything come of the victim from last night?"
Maura looked at Jane with a slightly amused look knowing the detective was done and if she pushed it she would just re-agitate her again. "I was going to start the autopsy in about 15 minutes. How about we get some coffee before?" Maura suggested knowing Jane would have to run into her mother in that process and maybe she could help her friend out with it.
Jane knew what Maura was doing but she agreed anyway.
As she got up, Maura noticed for the first time that Jane was not wearing her normal slacks and jacket but the skirt that she knew Jane favored. She loved when she did because she got a chance to check out those long exquisite legs that spent so much time covered up. She was well aware of the fact that Jane actually liked to wear skirts and dresses but in her line of work you can't exactly chase down a perp in heals and a skirt. On rare occasions she would throw the outfit on when she could but always had a change of clothes ready to go.
As they left the office Jane held the door for the ME and followed closely behind to the elevator. They entered and Maura thought about continuing the conversation but quickly changed her mind when she saw the look Jane flashed her. The detective knew her all too well.
As soon as they started to enter the café, Angela Rizzoli was already headed toward them with open arms to say good morning. "I wasn't sure I would see you, the way you ended our conversation so abruptly this morning Janie." Angela knew that Jane hated being set up by her but she wanted her daughter to have someone to come home to after a long day working in such a stressful job. She just wanted her daughter to get the love she deserves.
"Ma, I'm sorry about that. I just don't want you setting me up. I can find my own dates. I will date who I am attracted to and who makes me feel good and challenged in the right ways. I don't need your help finding someone." Jane was trying to make her mother understand.
"Angela, maybe we should just give Jane some time to date who she wants and decide what she is looking for. We both want her to be happy but we can't make that happen." Maura was trying to help her friend out not to mention she did not really want to picture Jane on a date if she could help it.
Jane was a little surprised. This is not what she expected when she came down here with Maura for some coffee. She still couldn't help the smile that was beginning to spread across her face. It just got bigger when she noticed that her mother was actually thinking and not quickly disputing the idea. 'Maura can charm anyone,' was all Jane could think at that exact moment.
"I guess that makes sense. None of the other guys I have set her up with seems to have made any connection with her…. So … I guess, maybe I could give it a little break. But I'm not saying I won't start again." Angela was very hesitant but she understood what Maura was saying. At least, she thought she made sense. There was something about how Maura said that they both wanted her to be happy that made her relax. Weird as it may be.
The best friends took their coffees and headed for the elevator. Jane headed up to the bullpen and Maura of course headed down to the morgue to do the autopsy on the victim from last night's crime scene.
"A 28 year old male, Caucasian with multiple stab wounds. Removal of the penis was pre-mortem. The victim would have bled out within minutes." Maura was listening to her recorded notes from the autopsy for transcription when Jane entered her office for the second time that day. "There are additional stab wounds to the chest and abdomen."
"Sorry to interrupt. It's about lunch time and I am starving. Anywhere you would prefer to go today?" Jane just waited at the doorway watching Maura.
"No preference. I can finish this after if you are "starving" as you say. Were you craving something particular?" Maura just gave a little smirk awaiting the response.
Jane took a breath knowing exactly what she was craving or should she say who. "Nothing specific, just something with a little grease." Jane smirked knowing how hard it was for Maura not to lecture her on how bad greasy foods were for her.
"Grease sounds good. I could actual go for a burger and some fries today. Why don't we just head over to the Dirty Robber for a quick lunch since we know you like their burgers?" Maura knew she had just shocked Jane and loved the look on her face.
"Sounds good to me. Let's go before you change your mind." Jane grabbed Maura's jacket that went so beautifully with her outfit and helped her into it before they headed for the elevator. When they arrived at the Dirty Robber they headed straight to their normal booth and slid in. It wasn't but a couple minutes later that they noticed Frost and Korsak standing there asking to join them.
Jane and Maura looked at each other knowing that the moment Frost and Korsak sat it would turn into a working lunch discussing the case. Both girls nodded to the boys and the conversation was off and running.
