Jane Rizzoli looked up from the pile of books in her arms when she heard the quiet, mechanical bell on the front doors of the library. Next came the quiet footsteps of what she figured were sneakers. Around the corner came a gorgeous blonde woman in a pair of scrubs and an overcoat. Around her neck was a green scarf and in her arms were a pile of books. Fluffy snowflakes littered the top of her head, and were quickly melting as the woman looked around the room for someone. The front desk was currently un-manned, so Jane knew she'd have to get down from her perch atop the ladder and drop the books in her arms.

Jane didn't need to look around to know that there wasn't anyone else in the main area, so she called across the room, "Be there in a sec!"

The women turned and watched the lithe brunette climb off the ladder and make her way to the front desk.

"How can I help you?"

The blonde smiled shyly, "I'm new to campus, and I'm unsure of the layout of your Dewey decimal system. Could you look up this number on your computer and tell me where I could find it?"

Jane looked over the scribbled number on the paper in the woman's hand and thought, "One-five-zero…that would be…psychology?"

The newcomer was surprised, "Yes. I'm in section 422 with Doctor Marsden."

"Marsden," Jane chuckled, "Yeah, good luck with her."

"You're a student here?" the smaller woman was surprised.

Jane shrugged, "I took some classes online. I had her for Abnormal Psych a couple years ago. She's crazy strict about formatting. So, be on the lookout."

"Thanks."

Jane blushed and looked back at the paper. "Uhh. One-five-zero…that would be stack fifteen, right side, first three shelves, second floor behind the statue of Edison. This book is on the second shelf up from the bottom."

"You know the exact shelf?"

"Yeah, I've worked in this library for nine years. I know every section, every shelf, every corner and every creak in the floor boards."

The smaller woman chuckled at the brunette's confidence. "And you're positive I'll find this book where you said?"

Jane smiled, "Yeah, I'll even bet you."

"Hmm." The blonde thought, "A nine year veteran librarian against a woman who's never set foot in the library before…I don't like those odds."

"I'll only ask your name as my reward."

The woman then realized that she and the other woman had never exchanged names.

With a sly smile, the blonde left the desk and made her way up the stairs and out of view.

Jane chuckled and went back to her task of restocking books. Within ten minutes, Jane felt a presence behind her and watched the blonde walk up, carrying yet another book in her arms and a smirk.

"Find it?" Jane very well knew the answer

She shuffled the books in her arms and held out a hand, "Maura. Maura Isles."

Jane took the woman's hand and shook it with a smile, "Jane Rizzoli."

With a flirtatious smile, Maura began to walk away with a flounce before she turned back slightly to smile at Jane, "Come check me out?"
