Now it had to go fast. Not a second could be wasted from now on.

Every Detective knew that every child molesters had a very specific sexual tendency. Either boys or girls. Never both. Never. And they never kidnapped two children at the same time. Never. Unless the kidnapper had no other choice.

And every Detective knew that this wasn't a good prerequisite.

Thus, one child was superfluously. Ballast. And of this ballast the culprit had to get rid of as soon as possible.

So every second counted if the police wanted to bring Justin and Anna back home alive.

Even if all of them had to work through.

That would be fine. That would be worth it.

These thoughts flashed through Jane's mind as she was on her way to the B.R.I.C bullpen. She pushed the door open and stomped into the smaller office.

Fortunately, Frost, Korsak and Frankiebhad already gathered there. "Do you have something useful?"

All three men looked at her in the same time.

"I've checked the neighborhood if there lives any registered child molesters.", Frost said and frowned. "I ..."

Jane glared at her brother. "Haven't I put you on this?", she almost yelled and all Detectives in the office became quiet. "I have told you that you shall check it, Frankie. Because Frost had to check the background of the Wilmore's. God damnit, you want to become a part of this team? Then learn to integrate and so what I tell you."

Frankie drew his eyebrows together. "What the hell is wrong with you? I've only delegated tasks."

"You delegate here nothing.", Jane yelled.

"Hey.", Korsak tried to calm the situation.

Jane ignored the older man. "You are the executive member. When I say 'jump' then you jump."

"Jane.", Korsak tried it again and Frost frowned deeply.

"When I say 'dance' then you dance. When I ..."

"And when I say 'That's enough' then it's enough and both of you listen to.", roared the otherwise level-headed Korsak and stared at both Rizzoli who suddenly were really silent. He pointed at the monitor on which was a blonde boy and a light brown haired girl. "You want it, you got it. None of you is entitled to make commands. I am the Sergeant. I'll give you instructions. And now I order that you drop this freaking cock fight and focus on finding these two children. Have I made myself clear"

Frankie looked at him and nodded. "Yes, Sir."

Korsak nodded and looked at the woman.

Jane narrowed her eyes. "Yes.", she mumbled.

Korsak lowered his eyebrows. "What?", he asked with fatherly severity.

Jane winced and her facial muscles twitched. "Yes ...", she took a deep breath. She only called her father by the name as a child when she was in serious trouble."Sir.", she almost growled.

Korsak seemed satisfied and looked at Frost. "Frost, what have you found out about the neighborhood?"

Frost cleared his throat and swallowed hard. "The neighborhood is impeccable ... almost."

The question burned on Jane's tongue and she almost spoke it out. But then she looked at Korsak and decided against it.

Korsak looked from the corners of his eyes at her and then at Frost. "What does that suppose to mean? Almost."

"All neighbors are respectable.", Frost said and clicked his computer mouse. "Expect from him."

Jane looked at the big screen on the wall and crossed her arms over her chest. "David Sigler."

Frost nodded and typed on his keyboard. "He already had to change three times his residence because he harassed little girls."

Jane gritted her teeth. "He's unteachable. Let's go and talk to him."

Korsak nodded and started to walk with Frankie.

Jane hesitated and looked at Frost. "Frost, is it okay with you if you stay here and check the family from every single angle?"

Frost looked long at her and pulled the corners of his mouth downward. "Sure."

Jane took a deep breath and followed the other two Detectives.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The three Detectives arrived at David Sigler's house and Korsak jumped out of the unmarked car. "Do I look like I'm tired of living?"

Frankie got out of the car too and chuckled.

Jane closed the driver's door and grinned. "What's the problem? We arrived safely."

"I nearly had a heart attack.", Korsak replied. "I want to experience some days of my retirement, Jane."

Jane rolled her eyes and walked toward the house. "Now you're exaggerating, Korsak."

Korsak huffed and looked through an window near the front door.

"Did we joined the voyeurs?", Jane asked and knocked at the door.

Korsak straightened up and frowned. "I just checked if someone is at home."

Jane raised her eyebrows and pointed at the door. "That's why I knocked."

Korsak looked long at her. "You know how sophisticated our suspects can be, Jane."

"True.", Jane replied shortly.

Frankie walked over the front porch and discovered a curious neighbor , who pretended to cut the lawn. "Hey,", he called. "do you know where David Sigler is?"

Jane and Korsak looked puzzled at Fdankie.

The man nodded and pointed to the back yard. "I saw him a few minutes ago at his garden shed."

The three Detectives left the porch again and followed the paved path to the back yard.

They immediately saw an open corrugated-iron shed and put their shooting hand on their guns.

Jane took a deep breath and nodded toward the shed.

Frankie nodded too. "David Sigler?"

A rumble came out of the shed and a young man with brown hairs looked out of it. "Yes?"

"Boston Police.", Frankie informed him. "We have a few questions regarding the disappearance of the Wilmore children."

David Sigler got pale and looked alternately at each Detective.

Jane literally could see that the man sized up all his options and frowned. "Don't.", she said and his eyes shot to her's. "Don't run away. You won't get far anyway."

Sigler's slumped and he pressed his lips together.

"Wise decision.", Jane said and looked at her brother. "Frankie, cuff him."

Frankie nodded and grabbed his handcuffs.

Jane exhaled loudly and took her phone from its holder. "I call Maura and then we look around in the house."

Korsak drew his eyebrows together. "Why Maura?"

Jane put her phone to her ear and furrowed her eyebrows. "She shall send some crime scene techs. Maybe we need them."

"I hope not.", Korsak said.

The Italian looked long at him. "Yeah, me too."

After she had made the call, she and Korsak entered David Sigler's house.

Everything seemed to be quite in common.

The house was cozy, the furniture style matched Sigler's age. Nothing pointed to his abnormal tendency.

That was the danger with serial killers and pedophiles.

Often they shared this one feature.

That they seemed so normal.

They did not wore a warning on their foreheads.

They hid behind the mask of a friendly neighbor, friend or caring family member.

And when the urge was too great, they showed their true colors.

Abused and killed.

Freed the monster they were within to imprison it again afterwards. In order to maintain the semblance of a normal life.

This made both perp types to the worst predators.

You could hardly predict their next move.

Jane sighed heavily and put a fishing magazine down. "Here is nothing. The upper and lower floors are clean. Sigler hasn't even legal porns."

Korsak straightened up and wiped his sweaty forehead with the sleeve of his jacket. "Then let us look in the basement. Maybe we'll find something there."

Jane nodded skeptically at the older man. "Do you have hot flashes?"

Korsak walked with her to the towards the basement stairs and frowned. "Do you?"

Jane snorted. "Are you crazy? I'm still young and sprightly."

Now Korsak snorted. "You're almost forty."

Jane made a face. "Shut up.", she hissed.

Korsak chuckled and walked down the stairs.

As they walked into the basement both Detectives became dead serious.

They had entered a kind of video room. In here nothing of the normal life was to be seen.

High shelves filled with DVD's stuck up on two basement walls.

Korsak took a DVD in his hand and looked at its cover. The DVD Was labeled with a name and a date. " I think we have found what we were looking for."

"I think so too.", Jane replied, went to an DVD player and turned it on. She turned on the medium flat screen TV too and her face darkened instantly.

Korsak turned his head away and gritted his teeth. "Turn it of, Jane."

Jane obeyed immediately and turned the TV off again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

David Siglerbwas sitting in the interrogation room and shifted nervously on the metal chair from side to side.

The door flew open and a pissed Jane stomped into the room, followed by Korsak and Frost.

None of the men looked happy at all.

Jane threw wordlessly a DVD on the table and her face was as hard as stone when she crossed her arms over her chest.

Sigler jumped a little and stared at the item. He swallowed hard. "That's not mine."

"That was fast.", Jane replied humorless. "If it's not yours why did we found this in your basement?"

Sigler shrugged and raised his eyebrows. "I ... I don't know."

"Bullshit.", Frost growled with an equally gloomy face as Jane. "A stranger certainly didn't you foisted these DVD's."

Sigler looked helplessly at him. "But if I say so."

"So you're saying that someone wants you foist something?", Korsak almost growled and slammed three case files open. "Just like in Seattle, Chicago and Cleveland."

Sigler tugged nervously at his lower lip and swallowed hard. "That ... was just an misunderstanding. The girls were friends with me."

"Ten and eleven year old girls were friends with you.", Jane growled and even made no move to sit down. The inspection of some of the DVD's still got to her. "They wanted to be friends with an thirty-three year old man.", she paused and shook her head. "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining."

"I don't lie.", Sigler shouted.

"These girls didn't knew what they were getting their selves into.", Jane yelled back and her facial muscles twitched. "These are innocent, little girls. They didn't know that they are doing something completely wrong.", she paused to calm a little and pointed at him. "But you, though. You knew perfectly well that it was wrong and sick. And it didn't stop you anyway."

Sigler looked long at her. "I have done nothing."

"You have a whole cellular full of child pornography.", Jane barked and lowered dangerously her voice. "Don't tell me that you have done nothing."

Sigler lowered his eyes and ran a hand over his mouth.

Korsak leaned back in his chair. "Only for that you go into the slammer. You'll be locked away for a very long time, David."

"You can't prove anything.", Sigler replied.

Jane stared in disbelief at him. "What?"

The man smiled a little. "You can't prove that I have acted maliciously. Maybe the girls wanted it."

From there, everything happened very quickly.

There was almost no time to react .

Sigler had hardly finished the sentence as Jane wanted to assault him.

Frost reacted first, jumped off his chair and stood between the Italian and Sigler. "Jane.", he grunted as he tried to hold her back.

Frost wasn't a big obstacle for Jane. She pushed so she could go around the table. "What did you scumbag just,said?", she barked louder and Sigler jumped scared up from his chair.

Korsak tried to grab his former partner at the shoulders but she just shook them off and panted like a wild bull. "I'll bust your ass up to the neck.", she growled low.

The door flew open and Frankie stormed in and grabbed his sister at the waist. He pulled her rudely back and could oppose to Jane's exertion of force.

Jane pushed harder but he tightened his grip. "Let go of me.", she yelled.

Frankie ignored her and dragged her out of the interrogation room.

Sigler stared in horror at the door. "What the hell is wrong with this bitch?", hr asked with a high-pitched voice.

Frost put the overturned chair back to its foot and pushed Sigler back on it. "Sit and just answer the questions.", he growled.

Korsak opened an other folder and put the pictures of Justin and Anna on the table. "Where are the Wilmore children?"

Sigler looked confused at him. "What?"

Frost took off his dark blue suit jacket. "Did your need got so unbearable that you had to kill a man to get his daughter? What did you do to the boy? Did you got rid of him right after you killed his father? Where is Justin's body"

Sigler drew his eyebrows together. "What the hell are you talking about?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maura exited the elevator and walked onto the main floor. She got welcomed by her mother-in-law.

"Maura,", Angela said and looked at the blonde. "Thank you for coming. Jane won't talk to me."

Maura looked worriedly at the older woman. "The current case gets to all of us."

Angela sighed. "The case of the killed father and the missing children."

"Yes.", Maura said as she looked around as she discovered her wife shoved in a remote corner. She sighed and walked to the table. "Hi."

Jane had to smile and shook her head. "Hey."

Maura smiled too and sat down at the table. "You look awful."

"I screwed the case.", Jane replied and looked back into the mug.

Maura nodded slowly. "I've heard about your outburst."

Jane grunted. "Outburst, yeah. I wanted to beat him up."

Maura furrowed her eyebrows and took Jane's hand. "David Sigler is a sick man. And he will be found guilty."

Jane closed her eyes and tightened the hold. "I'm scared.", she whispered. "Again, I get aware of what humans are capable to do to each other ... and ... I'm angry. I am angry because of people like David Sigler. And there are a lot David Siglers out there."

Maura became serious and took a deep breath. She nodded and raised her eyebrows. "The world is a dangerous place, Jane. There will always be a Charles Hoyt or a David Sigler. I know that you want to convert the whole world for the better, that you want to save everyone.", she sighed. "But that's not your job."

Jane started to play with her wife's fingers but didn't looked at the blonde."I'm not scared of Hoyt anymore. And I won't get scared of a David Sigler.", she paused, hung her head and shook it. "I'm scared that we made an hastily decision, Maura."

Maura's heart broke at the sight of the Italian. She took a deep breath. "What do you mean?"

Jane looked seriously at her. "We see every day what people do to each other. We are confronted every day with murder and manslaughter and yet we have decided that we want to put a child something like that. I'm not sure if this was the right decision."

Maura looked long at her and frowned. "Life isn't just brutality, Jane. Yes, it's true. Because our professions, we see the worst side of life. But life is also out of love and trust. I've I learned that through you, Angela, Frankie, Tommy, Frost and Korsak. Now you have to trust yourself. You will be a great mother. And I know that you will do everything to protect our child from people like David Sigler. I know it because I love and trust you."

Jane sighed and smiled. "God, I love you."

Maura smiled back and squeezed Jane's hand. "I love you too."

Jane sipped her coffee and made a face. "Yuck."

Maura drew disgusted her eyebrows together. "Since when are you drinking this coffee?"

Jane looked at her watch. "Uh ... since three quarters of an hour."

Maura pressed her lips together. "That's disgusting."

"Right?", Jane replied and sipped the coffee.

Maura closed her eyes and shook her head.

Jane looked long at her and started to laugh.
