Alright guys, I'm warning you this story is dark. Darker then what I wrote before. Some of you complained that I always hurt Maura, so now I'm hurting Jane, and I feel terrible about it.
Chapter one:
Safe:
"How is she?" Maura immediately asked as soon as she arrived in front Jane's room.
"She's still sedated." Frost replied.
"Is that the Doctor's report?" Maura asked pointing the file Korsak had in his hands.
"You shouldn't read it, we had to for the investigation but I wish I hadn't. After 30 years on the job I never …."
"Just give me the damn report." Maura ordered grabbing it from his hands.
"The Patient was brought by her parter Detective Frost at 11 pm. She was found in an alley next to the police station, wandering without any clothes. After examination which happened while the patient was completely sedated bruises around her wrists and ankles were discovered which seem to indicate that the patient was restrained for an extensive period of time. She suffered from 6 fractured ribs, her left cheek bones was broken as well . After a giving the patient an ultrasound, and a CT , it was determined that there was no sign of internal bleeding in the brain or to the abdomen region where the patient suffered broken ribs. Several lacerations probably made with a broken bottle and at different stages of healing are present on the patient's back, stomach and inner thighs…" Maura started to whispered .
As she was reading the report her heart stopped beating, she started to visualize every injury described, she could hear Jane calling for her, begging the man to stop. Maura knew that after 3 weeks the chances of Jane being found safe and without a scratch was next to none. As a medical examiner she knew that the longer a victim was held captive the more extended the injuries would be.
" I think it's enough." Korsak objected as she could see that Maura was almost at the most terrifying part of the report.
"Don't you dare ." Maura groaned determined to read the rest.
"After examination of the patient's pelvic region, it was determined that she was repeatedly raped with different objects . Swaps were sent to the lab for analysis. Pregnancy and rapid IVH and standards IST tests were also performed."
"Oh God." Maura let out trying to lean on the wall with her hand feeling her legs abandoning her, as if the ground was opening below her.
"I got you." Frost replied grabbing her and helping her sitting down.
"Jane…." Maura mumbled tears running on her cheeks.
"She's going to be alright. She's safe now . I promise that we're going to catch the bastard who did that to her and that he's going to pay."
"She needs me." Maura strongly affirmed as she stood up and wiped the tears of her face.
"She's still sedated. "
"But she's going to need me soon. Please call go to her parents' house and reassure them without giving too much details. As much as I love Angela the last thing Jane needs is her mother barging here, hysterical." Maura instructed.
"I agree. Come here." Frost said pulling Maura against her.
As she felt her friend's strong arms around her Maura let go of all the pain and anger she had been accumulating over the past 3 weeks. She knew that once she entered that room she had to be strong for Jane, so she let herself go in Frost's arms.
"Thank you Barry." Maura replied before wiping the tears of her face.
"You're welcome, we're here for you, both of you, but ultimately you're the only one she's gonna want next to her."
"I hope she will. Thank you again, now go notify her parents."
"Yes Ma'am. Two officers will stay here until she released don't worry." Frost replied before leaving the hospital with Korsak.
When Maura entered the room, Jane was lying on her side crawled in fetal position, sobbing and shivering.
Maura knew she would still be under the effect of the sedation for a while and was grateful that Jane was able to catch a break and sleep, because she knew that once she woke up it would hurt like hell both psychologically and physically.
So she sat on a chair next to her best friend holding her breath, scared that she might wake her up.
Over the past 3 weeks the team did their best to find Jane, unsuccessfully. Maura barely slept, every time she closed her eyes, she could see Jane,the pain and terror in her eyes. She could hear her screams for mercy and for help. Maura was a scientist and she never believed in paranormal phenomenon and she certainly didn't believe in psychic connection. But what she experienced during those 3 weeks was quite intense. Jane and her always had a powerful bound, a relationship that no one could really understand, including themselves. All they knew was it was way stronger then friendship. When Jane was taken , the connection wasn't broken, Maura felt like someone who was amputated of an arm or a leg but who could still feel it. She could still feel Jane's presence if she was right next to her. Secretly Maura was hoping that Jane was still able to feel her as deeply and strongly as she did. She was hoping that Jane could hear her talking to her at night when nobody was listening, promising her that she would find her, asking her to hang on a little longer.
As she was observing Jane sleeping Maura was trying to figure out how she could help her. They were close, like sisters or conjoint twins and Frost was right, she knew she would probably be the only person that Jane would allow next to her. She knew that Jane was probably to reject everyone she knew, including her friends or family, but she was hoping she wouldn't reject her. She didn't know how she was going to help her recover from this or if it was even possible, but she knew that she would do everything in her power to help her even if right now the only thing she could do was sitting next to her and waiting, hoping that her presence would bring some comfort to Jane.
I know this story is dark….I think I'm more talented writing dark stories..This one will focus on Jane's painful recovery. of course it won't be easy, she's going to reject Maura at first…It's going to be a long and painful journey. At some point the guy who did that to her might be found and there might be a trial, I don't know yet. All I can tell you is this story is going deep into Jane's psychology including flash back and nightmares…
