AN: Thank you for the follows and the review! I hope you enjoy this as well!

The bus stopped at the concert hall at noon, and in front of the building was a girl waiting for them. The 17 year old girl had long blond hair, a piercing through her nose and her red headphones matched her red shirt she wore with a regular jeans. As soon as the bus stopped, the girl looked up from her black all-stars and the stare of her green eyes made Jane feel uncomfortable through the bullet-proof window of the bus.

'That's Lotte?' Jane asked Sharon, who was sitting right next to her.

'Yeah.'

'She looks normal.'

'What did you expect? Her holding a gun or something?' The singer laughed while she looked at the detective.

'I dunno, you described me a bitch.'

'She isn't a bitch, she's just, bitchy, towards us.'

'What's the difference?'

'She is very nice towards her friends, she just doesn't like us, for some reason.'

When they finally got out of the bus, Lotte stood from the threshold she was sitting on and immediately went to Robert.

'Can you show me where I can put my stuff?'

'Just put it in the bus, we have to get inside now.'

The girl mumbled a "fine" under her breath and after putting her stuff in the bus, she followed the band inside.

Everyone collected in the hall, were the crew was still busy with the stage so they couldn't start the soundcheck yet. Sharon and Robert sat down on one of the material boxes while the others stood around them.

'Okay,' Robert started. 'Everyone, this is Lotte, my brother's daughter. Lotte, this are Jeroen, he plays the bass, Martijn, he plays the keyboard, Stefan, guitar, Mike, dru-'

'I don't care what they do, they are lucky enough if I remember their names.' Lotte interrupted Robert and Sharon sighed.

'This is how it will be as long as she's here. She'll only talk to Robert unless you ask her something, then you'll have a slight chance she'll answer you.' Sharon said before Robert continued.

'Well, you know Sharon and that's Jane, Sharon's bodyguard.' Lotte snorted by hearing the last part, but was released by one of the crew members.

'Stage is ready!'

'Great!' Robert shouted while jumping off the box. 'C'mon everybody! We've got work to do!' The 6 band members climbed the stage to do their jobs while Jane and Lotte took the seats on the material box. They watched the band for a while but then Jane turned her attention to the girl next to her.

'Why don't you like them?'

'Not my kind of music.' Lotte answered shortly without looking at her.

'I don't mean their music, I mean them.'

'Because.'

'Because is not a reason.'

'It is for me.' Jane didn't ask further questions but changed the subject.

'I'm sorry about your parents.'

'It's no big deal, I knew it would happen.'

'But it's still unpleasant.'

'The worst part is that I'm here, stuck with them.' Lotte put her headphones on and ended the conversation before Jane even had the chance to answer. Jane now understand why Sharon didn't like the girl, but she made it her mission to find out why the girl disliked the band so much.

Halfway through the soundcheck, Lotte jumped off the box and disappeared behind the stage. Jane kept her eyes on Sharon, who immediately stopped singing when she noticed the girl was missing.

'Jane, where's Lotte?' She asked in the microphone which made her voice sound through the whole hall.

'She's backstage!' The detective shouted back so she was hearable over the drumsounds.

'Can you please hold an eye on her?'

'Really?! You want me to babysit?!'

'Please?' Sharon pouted and Jane simply shook her head.

'You're lucky that I love you.' The detective jumped off the box and went looking for Lotte, who she found next to another material box. 'You better don't touch those thing if you don't want to get in trouble.' She said calm when the girl reached inside.

'Why does all these things say RUUD?' Jane sighed.

'He's a former band member, Stefan uses his stuff now.'

'Yeah, I know who he is, why isn't he here?'

'He, had some problems, so he had to leave.'

'What kind of problems?'

'Look,' Jane sighed, losing her patience. 'this isn't your business, so just go back to the hall.'

'Why would I?'

'Just do what I say, I'd rather not use my gun.'

'You have a gun?'

'I'm a homicide detective, what do you think?'

'I thought you were a bodyguard.'

'I'm a detective, but they hired me to be Sharon's bodyguard. Now please, go back to the hall.'

For a moment, Lotte just stared at her but finally she did as asked and went back to the hall, followed by a now irritated Jane.

During the concert that evening, Jane watched the show from the backstage while she kept an eye on Lotte. The girl was sitting in an unused changing room while Jane was next to the stage, but she was able to see her through the open door. Between the songs, Jane was able to hear the music coming from Lotte's fire-red headphones, meaning the volume was so loud the girl was for sure killing her ears.

It was like Lotte could feel Jane watching her when she turned her head and looked Jane right in the eye. It was the same cold stare coming from those green eyes as she had seen that morning and it sent a shiver down her spine. Without breaking the eye contact, the girl took off her headphones and then walked out of Jane's sight. The detective looked at the stage where everything seemed normal and then went after the girl.

It was a small building so it didn't take long for Jane to find out that the girl wasn't inside anymore. Instead she found the girl outside, talking into her phone, obviously to her mom. Standing in the doorway, she watched Lotte while thinking about her own mother back in states. She hadn't spoken to her in a month and although Maura, her best friend, kept her up to date, she deeply missed her mother.

Lotte caught her when she ended the call and gave her that cold gaze again.

'Don't you have something else to do?' She said before walking back inside with Jane only a step behind her.

The show had ended by the time they got back at the changing rooms. Sharon immediately pulled Jane towards her changing room and closed the door before kissing her girlfriend.

'Where were you at the end?'

'Lotte went outside, so I followed her. She was calling her mom.'

'Oh… She reminded you-'

'Of my own mother, yeah.'

'I'm sorry, Jane.' Sharon threw her arms around Jane's body and hugged her tightly while Jane snuggled her nose in the singers hair and quietly whispered.

'I love you.'

'I love you too.' Sharon answered before pulling back and getting ready to shower.
