A/N: Got this idea one night. Kind of based it off the Castle episode 'Always'. It's what would happen in the future. Enjoy and R/R!

Jane Rizzoli walked up to the crime scene, her best friend at her side. Maura would be the M. E. on the case. Her partner, Detective Frost, ran up beside her and flipped open his notepad.

"The victim is a young woman, early thirties. She was found in the ally tied to two other victims, a young boy and a teenage girl." Frost read off his notes while they entered the ally. Jane looked around, taking in the scene around her; before her eyes laid a woman with red hair and open blue eyes. She was covered in an ugly mix of dirt and bruises. What had been a pretty face now had sunken-in eyes and hollow cheekbones. Maura knelt down to inspect the woman.

"Female, early thirties as Frost said. She's been through a lot recently. I see signs of malnourishment and abuse. Bruises around her wrists and ankles consist with being tied up for hours on end. Seven broken fingers and four broken toes; her right shoulder is dislocated, too." Maura looked up at Jane and saw her shake her head. They were both thinking the same thing: What had happened to this poor woman?

"Can you tell me where she's been, Maur?" Jane looked down hopefully at the doctor.

Maura's face contorted in concentration. "Well, nowhere recently, but this woman used to have money."

Jane was confused. "How can you tell?"

"These clothes are fashion designer, but they're tattered to shreds. Frost, did you find any personal belonging on her?"

Frost shook his head. "No, she didn't have anything but the clothes on her back."

Jane was confused. What had happened to this woman? No personal belongings and torn clothing. If she had money, why was she like this?

"Anything else, Maura?" Jane asked, hopeful for more clues.

"There really isn't much I can tell you here, Jane. I won't know more till I get her back to Autopsy." Jane nodded understandingly. She knew Maura was always cautious of even the slightest guess.

Frost waved for Jane to follow him as he walked away from the woman's body. He began to explain the crime scene to her. "A homeless person found our woman tied up to a little boy and a teenage girl by this dumpster. Their wrists and ankles were bound along with a gag in each of their mouths. There was also rope tying them to each other in a triangular shape around their stomachs." Jane stared at the spot where he indicated where their victims had sat.

"You mean they were tied to one another?" Frost nodded his head. "Man." Jane ran her fingers through her hair.

She looked around at the rest of the crime scene. There was no evidence of a struggle, and no signs of shed blood anywhere. No weapons, no evidence, and no other covered bodies.

Jane huffed. "Hey Frost, where's my other bodies." Frost looked at Jane with a blank expression, and then he realized what she meant.

"The other two victims are alive, Jane. They're at the hospital. According to the reports from the doctors the young boy is unconscious and the girl is still in surgery."

Jane's jaw dropped. "Those kids were tied to a rotting corpse and they were stuck there? What a nightmare." Jane looked around her. CSU was still taking what little evidence there was and there was nothing left for the detective to do. Maura was already gone along with the body. Jane called out to Frost. "Let's get back to the precinct."

PLEASE REVIEW! I will have the next chapter up soon!
