The Surprise That Would Change Everything-Part 2:
Maura went into doctor mode and began checking the girl over while Jane looked at the photo of Brian and Louisa. She got her torch out and held it up at the girl and then tapped Maura's arm. The doctor rose to her feet and followed Jane, keeping an eye on the girl.
"It's Louisa Vance," Jane said, "we get her, take her to yours, get her cleaned up and trusting us," she said. Maura's eyes widened,
"Jane, we should take her to Cavanaugh. She could be a witness," she said.
"What and have her somewhere where she doesn't know anyone? Please Maura." Maura looked at Jane and then down at a clearly scared Louisa.
"Jane we really should follow procedure," she said.
"God Maura. Please help me out here," Jane said. Maura sighed,
"Fine. Ok then, just this once."
Jane smiled before going over to Louisa and holding her hand out,
"It's ok. My name is Jane and that's Maura. She's a doctor and I'm a cop. You're safe now," she said. Louisa looked at Jane before slipping a shaking hand into Jane's outstretched one and she got up.
"I'll check her over properly when we get her back to mine," Maura said wrapping a blanket around Louisa and leading her to the car. Jane got in the back with Louisa and the called Frost to say that Louisa had been found and she would be at Maura's with her and Maura.
They eventually arrived at Maura's and Jane got out before helping Louisa out before they headed inside. Jo Friday ran up to meet them, wagging her tail. Jane greeted the excited dog before watching Louisa reach out and stroke Jo Friday's head. Jane smiled before seeing Angela walking up to them.
"Who's the girl?" she asked Jane.
"I'll take Louisa and get her sorted," Maura said, leading Louisa away to the bathroom.
Jane sighed sitting down,
"She's the daughter of a murder victim, the case that has just been opened," she said, "Maura wanted to take her to the station but I said no. She's scared and won't even talk right now. I don't want her to end up somewhere where she doesn't know anyone. She needs to be here."
Maura was checking Louisa over and found out that Louisa had bruises on her wrists. She managed to get Louisa in the bath so she could wash herself down.
"Where's my dad?" the girl asked Maura, "he told me to hide and stay still." Maura looked at the scared girl and knew she couldn't lie because she'd get hives,
"I'm sorry Louisa. Your father was killed," she said before hugging the crying girl.
"Ma! Don't tell Cavanaugh! I'm going to tell him tomorrow, but right now Louisa needs to know that she can trust us. She's a potential witness so Maura and I are trying to gain her trust," Jane said. Angela sighed and nodded,
"On your head be it Jane Rizzoli," she said before leaving and going to the guest house.
Jane was sat having a beer when Maura walked in with Louisa.
"She knows. I had to tell her," Maura said, "I couldn't lie when she asked where he was," she said before heading over to the kitchen to make them something to eat, forgetting that Angela had made dinner earlier.
Louisa sat down on the sofa and watched Jane, who turned to the girl and smiled at her.
"I am going to do all I can to find out what happened to your father," she said to Louisa.
"What's going to happen to me?" Louisa whispered.
"Well I am going to see if you can stay with me and Maura tomorrow so you can be around us," Jane said before heading over to Maura.
"She's got bruising on her wrists, otherwise she's ok," Maura said, " you think Cavanaugh will let us look after a possible witness?"
"I have no idea," Jane sighed, "it's either that or we not solve the case," she said before they watched Louisa with Jo Friday, wondering what the future held for the young girl that held the key to solving what happened to her father.
