Jane jerked awake to her phone ringing. Snatching it up and wincing when she opened her eyes. "Rizzoli." She says into the phone realizing how bad of an idea it was to drink that many beers last night.
"Hey we got a murder down at the harbor." Frost says.
"Alright I'll be there in twenty." She says shuffling to the kitchen. She hangs up the phone as she downs a bottle of Pedisure (best hangover remedy ever!) and two aspirin. As she walks back into room she calls Maura.
"Hello." A male voice says into the phone.
"Is Maura Isles there?" Jane says feeling peeved that some guy was answering her phone. Jane knew that she had feelings for Mura. Those feeling however were one sided and Jane isn't getting into that right now.
"Yea detective Rizzoli, here she is." The male voice says. Now Jane is more peeved. Who the hell is this and why does he know her name.
"Jane hey I'm on my way out the door." Maura says when she gets on the phone.
"Alright Maura, I'll see you there. So who's your bed buddy?" Jane asks as she walks out the door.
"Jane let's talk about this later. Bye." Maura says as she hangs up the phone with no other word from Jane.
Well that was weird. So either Maura is worried about Jane's reaction or her person isn't important.
At the scene all Jane noticed was Maura. She knew what was going on around her, but she also knew that Maura was avoiding her gaze. As she signed off on some more evidence she didn't see Maura leave. However, when she looked up her face fell.
"She took the body back to the morgue." Frost says.
"What?" Jane says acting like she doesn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh, right nothing. I'll see you back at HQ." Frost says as he turns to walk to his car.
"Right, I'm going down to the morgue first." Jane says distractingly as she ducks the tape.
"Right." Frost says with a chuckle.
"Maura do you know anything?" Jane asks as she walks into the morgue. She knows that Maura is avoiding her eyes and is a little hurt.
"No, Jane I don't know anything." Maura says as she continues making notes.
"Ok, so you want to tell me who was at your house." Jane asks nonchalantly. "It must be serious if he answered you phone."
Maura sighs "It was Garrett."
"Garrett as in Fairfield?" Jane says wide eyed. In her mind she is envisioning Garrett and Maura wrapped up in covers. Now all she wants to do is rip his fucking head off. That selfish fucking prick.
"Yes Garret Fairfield. Look I don't want to talk about it. I also have to finish this I have a date tonight." Maura says. She knows that she isn't rushing the autopsy she just didn't want to listen to Jane about Garrett.
"Ok fine call me when you have something." Jane says stomping out of the morgue. Jane felt hurt by Maura's brush off but hopes you couldn't tell.
Maura knew she hurt Jane but she didn't want to deal with it so she got back to work.
Jane and Frost had been running leads all day. She felt like that they had run up and down Boston all day. If they caught one lead up-town they would catch another one down-town. Finally they were back at HQ.
"That was ridiculous." Frost says as he slumps into his chair.
"I know how many leads are we going to get all over this city?" Jane asks as she leans back. Right about the time that Jane lets out a sigh the twilight music goes through the prescient. "Oh come on." Jane says with a groan. "What is it Ma?" Jane asks as she answers the phone.
"Jane are you coming to dinner tonight?" Angela asks.
"Sure Ma I'll be there tonight at seven." Jane answers realizing that seven is in like an hour.
"Is Maura coming?" Angela asks not knowing what's going on.
"No Ma she has a date tonight." Jane says with a look on her face.
"Did you ask her?" Angela asks getting things ready to fix dinner.
"No Ma I didn't ask her but she told me she had a date tonight. But if it will make you feel better I will ask her." Jane says praying that no one can notice the anger in her voice.
"Ok Janie bye." Angela says as she hangs up the phone.
Jane hangs up her phone and groans as she gets up to head to the morgue. When she gets up Maura is standing there. "Since you already know what I'm going to say why you even want to ask me. Here is the autopsy reports." Maura says as she hands Jane the report and walks out.
"Maura that's not what I meant." Jane says as she throws the report on her desk and turns to chase after Maura. "Shit." Jane says as she barely misses the elevator. Jane hightails it down the stairs and makes it in time for Maura to get out of the elevator. "Maura…" Jane says trying to get her breathing under control.
"Jane its ok, you know I have a date. You don't have to pretend like you want me there." Maura says trying to hide the hurt and tears.
"NO, Maura I just knew that you had a date so that there was no need to ask you. I didn't mean that you weren't worth the effort to ask or that I don't want you there." Jane says trying to convey how sorry she is that it seemed that way.
"Ok Jane I believe you." Maura says sniffling.
"I know I'm sorry." Jane says grabbing Maura up in a hug. At that moment Jane leans into smell Maura's hair. She wishes she could stay like this forever.
"Umh Uh." Someone clears their throat.
As they break apart Jane instantly goes rigid. "Garrett, what are you doing here?" Maura asks.
As Jane looks at Garrett she knows he saw what she did. "I came to pick you up." He says as he kisses Maura looking at Jane the whole time. "Are you ready to go?" He asks with a smug smile.
"Yea let's go. Jane tell your family that I'll be at dinner next time." Maura says as they walk out.
"Alright by and have fun guys." Jane says as she walks back to her desk to get ready to leave for family dinner. As she walks she can't shake the feeling that Garrett is hiding something. She also doesn't know what he is going to do about what he witnessed.
"So Janie where is Maura?" Angela asks as she helps Jane set the table.
"She is on a date." Jane says hoping her mom will drop it.
"Oh really is he a nice guy?" Angela asks as she gets Frank and Frankie to come to dinner. Angela has a feeling that Jane has feelings for Maura. That is why when her daughter told her that Maura had a date she asked if Jane had asked her. She didn't mean about dinner she meant on a date.
"Yes it is with Garrett Fairfield." Jane says as she sits down.
"Wait Maura is dating Garrett?" Frankie asks "And you're ok with it?" he asks knowing that his older sister almost had to arrest him for his brothers murder. He also knows that Maura and Jane both harbor feelings for the other they are just too dense to do anything about it.
"Of course I am. He makes her happy. Why wouldn't I be ok?" Jane asks hoping Frankie didn't' use his cop skills on her.
"No reason." Frankie says and glances at their mom and dad. That was the end of the conversation for Jane. She spent the rest of dinner thinking about Maura.
