Chapter 1

Stepping into her house, Maura looks around for the one person she will always come home to, stoping when she sees her.

It had been three weeks to the day since the shooting at the department, every time she thought about that day fear would

run through her. She had almost lost Jane, now every night she would come home, and just for a second fear that Jane was

gone, but she was always here. Tonight Jane was on the couch the room dark the tv off. Maura sat down next to her,

"what's wrong Jane? Jane looks at her, and for a second Maura sees fear in those brown eyes then her detectives mask

is back in place "I screwed up Maura". Maura takes a deep breath and then says "you didn't screw up Jane, you did what

you thought was right you saved your brother. Do you know they are calling you a hero"? "I'm no hero Maura". Jane said

while trying to lean forward only to stop when she felt pain. "what I did was stupid, and now look I can't even sit here

and have a conversation without being in pain". It hurt Maura to know that her best friend was in pain, and she couldn't

make it better. "It'll get better Jane I promise". Maura said while standing up, she looked down at Jane and said "come on

let's go to bed." Maura woke the next morning alone, but she was used to it. Every morning since she came home from the hospital

she woke up alone. Maura didn't bother to look for Jane she wanted her space and Maura gave it to her. Maura got to work late

as she did every day since she came back to work, but no one seemed to care. They had been really slow which Maura was happy

about, she didn't feel like seeing dead people right at the moment. She sat in her office, things had changed since the shooting

men came in and out, they were trying to cover up the bullet holes. They had cleaned up Frankie's blood before she had come back

to work thank god. Maura knew she couldn't handle cleaning that up,it's not the blood that bothered her it's the thought of

almost losing her best friends brother, and remembering Jane almost begging her to save Frankie. Maura helped slow the process down,

but if Jane hadn't shot through her self to kill Moroni help wouldn't have gotten to him when it did, and he would have died.

Jane is a hero, she saved her little brother, Maura, and who ever else Moroni would have killed while trying to get away.
