Maura Isles never expected for the love her of life to be a homicide detective let alone her best friend and women. She can't remember when her feelings for the beautiful detective changed. All she knew was she was in love with Jane Rizzoli and that Jane Rizzoli loved her they just haven't told anyone yet that they have been together for months.
It was early December; Maura had just arrived at Jane's apartment. As she went to knock she heard the gun shot, without thinking she used the key Jane had given to her in case of an emergency. When she entered the apartment everything seemed as it should be expect Maura didn't see Jane or Jo Friday (Jane's loveable little dog). She continued through the apartment looking for Jane. She arrived at the bedroom the door was closed she opened it "Jane, you here" she called. That's when she seen Jane tied to the bed and realized she had made the mistake of not calling anyone right before her world went black.
Maura awoke a few hours later with her hands cuffed behind her back on the floor of Jane's bedroom. That's when she heard him the one voice she thought she would never hear again, thinking to herself it's her head injury that it couldn't be could. She lifted her head to look and that's when her worse fears were realized. That's when she sees the one and only Charles Hoyt straddling Jane's thighs. All the while Jane was trying not to make a sound. While Hoyt taunted her while holding a scalpel to her throat.
