* I own nothing of Rizzoli and Isles I just have the privilege of playing with the characters for a while.
Jane walked to her desk with a half empty cup of coffee. It was the first morning after the whole Dominick kidnapping her event that she had actually felt back to her old self. She hadn't gone to Maura's house in the middle of the night in over a week now. She was grateful for her friend's understanding and willingness to be there for her when she had issues during the night. But she had shown up every night for three solid weeks after having vivid nightmares that tormented her sleep. Maura's words or just her presence seemed to calm her down and drive the demons away for the moment. During those long three weeks, she was tempted to ask if she could just stay with her awhile and skip the whole hellish process knowing she would end up there anyway but she thought that would be asking too much.
"Morning Jane."
"Morning Korsak. Have you seen Frost yet?"
"Yeah...he'll be right up after he and your brother quit eye undressing Maura's friend from college."
"What are you talking about?"
"Maura's friend the therapist."
"Who?"
"That's right you were in the hospital when she visited the last time. That's when you shot yourself and were out of it."
"Maura never mentioned her to me."
"Well you got out of the hospital the next week and she came over to help you around. That is until you threw her and your mother out that one day."
She never got to respond to him, "Jane I would ask you to do a brother a favor and get me Maura's friends number but I know it wouldn't do any good." Frost said coming in with all smiles.
"Why is she married?" Jane asked puzzled.
"Well...yeah to another gorgeous woman." He said like "dah."
"Wait what...I'm lost." She said looking at him confused.
"You didn't know Maura's fine-looking friend is married to a woman? She hasn't introduced you to Dr. Keely Bonner yet?" He asked not believing Jane hadn't met her.
"No... she hasn't. From what I have been told this woman came to visit when I was in the hospital the last time."
"Oh, that's right...you were still in there after shooting yourself." He said as Frankie came in grinning from ear to ear and looked at Frost and said, "Such a waste man."
"Alright enough you two." She said getting frustrated with the two of them.
"Jane... if I was a woman she would make me flip." Frankie said and fist bumped Frost laughing.
"Go away. You are making my head hurt." She said waving him away.
"I'm telling you Jane you need to see this woman." Frost said turning his computer with a picture of her and her wife. Jane looked at it and her eyebrows went up.
"Damn...they look like runway models."
"We told you." Frankie said laughing.
"I thought I told you to go away." She said giving him a "why are you still breathing the same air as I am" look.
"You did but I can stay here if I want too." He whined back at her.
"Jane, it says here that she and her wife have been separated for a month now." Korsak said as he came to look at the picture.
"But she still had her wedding band on... Maybe they are trying to work things out?" Frost said giving information not on the screen.
"Or maybe she is after Dr. Isles...Frost?" Frankie said adding his opinion in.
"That would be in your dreams Frankie." Jane said irritated at all of them.
"God...I could only hope to have a dream like that."
"Amen." The two other men agreed with Frankie.
"You all are pigs and you need to quit talking and thinking about my best friend in that way. It's just wrong." She said giving a disgusted face and shaking off their comments. "I'm going to go and get some more coffee at the cafe and try to get that..." she said waving her hand at the computer screen, "...out of my head."
"Yeah right...but you will have to go to the morgue if you want to see Maura's friend because they already left the cafe." Frankie said to the back of his sister who was heading to the elevators not listening to him. "I bet she goes to the morgue first."
"No Frankie she'll go and get coffee and Maura a cup of tea first then to the morgue." Korsak said laughing.
"Yep...she will need an excuse to go down there." Frost said laughing and agreeing with Korsak.

Jane found herself getting off the elevator at the morgue with two cups in her hands. A cup of coffee for her and a cup of Chai tea for Maura. She couldn't believe she was actually going down to check out this woman but after the comments from the guys in the office and from her mother in the cafe...she had to meet this woman.
"Oh Jane...Maura's doctor friend is so beautiful and delightful to listen too." Her mother's words kept ringing in her ears in the elevator then Frankie's, "Or maybe she is after Dr. Isles?" She couldn't put her finger on it but something about this woman just didn't set well with her so she decided to meet the woman and get her own impression instead of everyone else's opinion.
"Hello Detective Rizzoli..." Susie said as she saw her coming down the hall, "...if you are looking for Dr. Isles she's not down here she just left."
"Where is she going? I haven't gotten a call." She said balancing both cups in one hand and grabbing her phone to see if she missed a call.
"No... she is taking a personal day to spend with Dr. Bonner. She will be back tomorrow I believe."
"You don't know if she will be back tomorrow or not?" Jane asked looking upset and confused.
"No, I'm not sure...She said it depended on if Dr. Bonner stayed another night at her house or left as scheduled."
"The woman is staying at Maura's house?" Jane asked getting even more indignant that her best friend didn't mention anything at all about this to her. "Maybe you should be asking Dr. Isles these questions." Susie said feeling very uncomfortable by Jane's responses. "Yeah...maybe you are right. Here you go Susie..." she said handing her the Chai tea, "...it was for Dr. Isles but she isn't here obviously."
"Thank you." She said taking the cup and darting into the lab before she was asked anymore questions. Jane didn't notice because she had hit Maura's number on speed dial and was getting more upset because it had instantly gone to voice mail. She stomped her foot then texted..."Hey Maura what's up with the day off?" She thought that was innocent enough. She went back to the elevator deciding to go back up to her desk and wait a response.
"Hey Jane did you see Dr. Isles and Dr. Bonner?" Frost asked when she walked back in.
"No..." she said looking at her phone that had remained silent. "They came up here while you were gone. Dr. Isles put the Sullivan file you have been waiting for on your desk and left." He said pointing to the file. "Thanks..." she said sitting down and started drinking her coffee and thinking, "...Maura didn't say where she was going did she?"
"No... she said that the only reason she came by work today was to give you that file. She knew you wanted it basically yesterday and they left." Korsak said joining in the conversation, "Is there a problem?"
"No... I was just curious is all." She said as she started typing Dr. Keely Bonner into a search program on her computer and totally ignoring the Sullivan file that was right beside her. She decided she needed to have more information on this woman who she basically didn't even know existed before ten o'clock this morning.
Yes, I am close to posting the next chapter in my series...but this has gnawed at me for a day and a half. It is a short story I believe. Just an idea that popped into my head. I had at first thought it was a Criminal Minds thought but as the dynamics unfolded around the idea I realized it was a Jane and Maura story.
