2nd chapter

"How many? Oh, god. Three other bodies in the same forest? Yeah, I'll be right there, gimme 15 minutes."

Detective Rizzoli drunk her morning coffee in one shot before Dr. Isles was called with the same information.

"I hope we will find some finger prints or something, he had to make some mistake, didn't he?" Jane wanted badly to find this bastard, but Maura knew that it's hard to find something useful after so many years.

Nevertheless any trace is a progress. She could find out that these women died for the same reason. One day they were missing and they died 10-14 months later. There were no traces of any physical abuse, but they suffered by malnutrition and dehydratation, and some kind of skin infection. These women were hold in a misery conditions. Maura could just hope this is over now.

But it is not.

At the end of the week Maura had nine bodies, dead one by one after approximately one year, all buried in the same area. The last one died 13 months ago.

Detective Rizzoli was graceful for this information. "He will come to bury the actual one and we can get him." It was just when she saw Maura's face that she understood what she just had said. "Or we can find her before she die and save her. But what do we know about him? And what do we know about the way he kidnapped them?"

This was Maura's Jane – so adorable and determined to save the word. Of course she loves her; Jane is the most beautiful person she had ever met. Yeah, her unbuttoned shirt and perfect Gluteus Maximus and – let's face it – all her naked body Maura keeps seeing in her dreams… She knows there is no chance, Jane is straight. But Maura's dreams can not hurt anybody. She can IMAGINE having sex with anyone she wants. Maybe she should not stare at Jane's neckline in the office, but otherwise she can keep it cool, right?


Flower? Secret admirer? Could it be another serial killer who wants her body? Maybe she should be prudent… but is the world really just full of maniacs? Maybe there is really someone who loves her… or who at least wanted to make her smile in this grey morning.

Nice bouquet of blue hyacinths.

Wait!?

Wasn't she speaking about the hyacinths with Jane lately? Yeah, now she clearly remembered telling her the Greek legend of Hyakinthos and the meaning of this flower: constancy – and in case of blue hyacinth – also sincerity.

Luckily she did not need to wait too much for Jane's reaction.

"Nice flowers. What is it?"

"Blue hyacinths."

"Oh, I know, I know, endurance, right?" Oh, she was so sweet trying to fool her.

"No, Jane, it`s constancy and sincerity."

"OK, and when did you buy it?"

"I didn't buy it, Jane, I got it – from a secret admirer."

Jane made a surprised face: "Secret admirer? Aren't you afraid of some kind of deviant?"

"No, I need to admit that I was also considering this option, but… there is bigger probability that someone loves me than that someone wants to kill me. And it's just a flower.

Jane looked amused and suspicious now: "Of course you are right, it's easy to love such a beautiful and kind woman as you are. So? Do you have an idea who could love you? Do you think it's someone we know?"

Maura smiled and blushed a little after hearing Jane thinks she's beautiful. "I suppose I can just wait for his… or her… next message." Maura was analyzing Jane reaction to every single word.

"His or her?" Jane reacted exactly as Maura had intended.

"It's a SECRET admirer. I need to be open to all the options. And by the way, you know, in a relationship there are more important things that a gender."

Is this the reaction Jane would have if she sent her these flowers? Making sure that she did not scare her and using the opportunity to tell her a compliment? Isn't it just evidence of flirt?

This sweet combination of care, amusement, surprise, compliment, smile and – no, Maura, since you're in love with her, you will see her as lovely person in every situation. Just stop looking at her. It's suspicious now. Maura just hopes she made Jane know that she would be okay if it was a woman they both know and that she is waiting for another message. Or shall I just go ahead and kiss her? No, Maura, let's play the game with Jane, this won't take an eternity and maybe they can have a happy-end, who knows?


Thank you for all your reactions ;-)
