Melissa and Angela had spoken the previous day before the incident with Frankie and the terrible introductions into the team she would be working with for six months. Angela had been great and Melissa liked her.

'Let's just say my colleagues don't like me being here.' Melissa shrugged as Angela passed her the cup of tea.

'Give it time. Jane can be stubborn and Korsak will get sick of Frost complaining. It'll all work out.'

'You know the team?' Melissa asked looking up from her cup. Angela smiled as she looked towards the door her oldest son Frankie had just appeared at the door. Melissa turned instantly to see Frankie's face drop when he spotted who his mother was talking to. Melissa stood up.

'Never mind, thank you for the tea.'

'Are you going?' Angela asked surprised.

'Yes I'd rather not have another incident with Detective Rizzoli.'

'You had an incident with Frankie? You are the girl….' Angela responded shocked. 'Frankie Rizzoli get here'

'What's the matter Ma?' Frankie asked as he reached the two women and Melissa looked down.

'You made the new recruit feel awful yesterday. Apologise.'

'Ma…'

'It's fine Angela no harm done. Tough as old boots me.'

'Frankie…'

'Look I'm sorry,' Frankie conceded as his mother gave him her famous 'do as you're told stare'. 'I should not have taken my bad day out on you Special Agent Createn.'

'Apology accepted Detective Rizzoli and I concede that I should have looked where I was going.' Melissa smiled as Frankie looked to his mother. Angela was also smiling and then kissed her son on the cheek.

'Go on you two get out of here.' Angela waved her hands towards them as Melissa turned to walk away.
