Disclaimer: I don't own Rizzoli and Isles (sadly) and I intend to make no profit from this. I am merely having a little fun. On that note, please be nice to me! Reviews are appreciated, I want to learn and improve but this is my first ever fanfic so be gentle!
I just felt that there was something missing between Korsak and Frost's dramatic entrance and Jane's party. This story is to fill that little void. I would be tempted to continue this story for another chapter or two if anyone thought there was somewhere to go. Let me know either way...
"You're ok, shhhh, you're ok."
Jane could hear Korsak's quiet and soothing voice in her ear as she screamed and heaved her panic out in sobs. She was shaking all over, uncontrollably, and Korsak's arms felt like they were holding her together, at the same time that they felt like the wrong arms.
"It's ok, take a deep breath. He's gone Jane, he's gone." Korsak was trying to be comforting, wrapping her in his arms and squeezing her tight. Letting her know in body that he was here, and that she was safe, but they were still the wrong arms.
Across the room, Frost carefully sat on the bed next the stricken ME.
"You ok Doc?" he whispered, as he pulled Maura up from her prone position on the bed. Maura was shaking and looked dazed, the blood from her neck wound dripping down the column of her throat and staining her jacket. Her eyes moved sluggishly to his face and only when she made contact with his wide brown eyes did everything hit her.
"He…. He… Ja… Ja…. Where's Jane?" Maura was panicking and the tears were beginning to pour down her face in waves as she gasped and sobbed for breath.
"She's ok. Korsak has her, she's ok Doc." He was trying to comfort her, slowly rubbing his arm up and down her back but it was as if he wasn't even there.
"Wher… Where's… Ja… Jane?."
Jane pulled back from Korsak's arms looking him in the eye and trying to control her breathing, matching it to his. Soothingly, he brushed the hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear, but it was the panicked muttering of her name that brought her out of her shock induced daze and back to the here a now.
"Maura. Where's Maura?" looking around Korsak's broad shoulders she finally saw her friend sitting in Barry's arms and calling her name.
"Maura!" Jane dashed across the room, kneeling in front of her friend and taking the ME's bound hands in her own.
"Maura, look at me. Please." Jane's husky voice was deeper than usual, and sounded cracked and broken from her tears, but it was music to Maura's ears. She pulled her head off Barry's shoulder and looked straight into the deep almost black eyes of her best friend.
"Jane" Maura whispered, almost like she didn't believe her friend was there.
"I'm here Maur, I'm here. We're ok." Barry slowly got up from the bed and carefully pulled Jane up to sit beside her friend. Maura and Jane's eyes never left one another, and as Jane settled onto the bed Maura fell onto Jane's chest, nuzzling her forehead into that space between Janes shoulder and neck, crying and muttering, seeking the comfort only Jane could provide.
"He… He was going… to make… you… I couldn't… stop him… I'm so… so sorry."
Through her own tears Jane could barely understand Maura's string of sob broken words but she didn't need to. She could guess.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, ok." Slowly lifting her still zip tied hands she looped her joined arms around Maura, pulling her tight against her chest. Maura made fists around Jane's blood covered jacket, pulling herself even closer.
"Don't let go, please. Don't leave." Maura was calming, her sobs were becoming smaller, but she was still shaking.
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise" Jane still had tears rolling down her face, but her sobs had stopped and her tremors were starting to fall in sync with Maura's, as she slowly began to rock back and forth, the constant motion soothing Maura as much as herself. These were the right arms.
"Frost, grab a blanket" Korsak ordered quietly as he slowly walked over to the joined women. He carefully laid his hand on Jane's back, guiding her down onto the bed, making sure that Maura went with her.
Frost came over with the blanket and carefully laid it over the top of the two women. He felt heat and fury well up in his chest, making his hands shake at the sight of them. They were two of the strongest women he knew, they were his friends, his sisters, and to see them like this made him wish Hoyt was still alive, if only so Frost could torture him himself.
Backing away slowly he looked at Korsak, "It's a shame she killed him." At Korsak's shocked look Barry continued, "I'd have loved to give him a taste of his own medicine." Korsak nodded his head in agreement.
"Let's give them some privacy and call the paramedics. I don't know about the Doc but Jane needs to be looked at and patched up."
Frost nodded his head, "I'll put out the call, you stay here and watch over them." With that he turned on his heel and walked out of the infirmary, leaving Korsak to stand guard over his fallen friends.
