Chapter 3
She walked slowly looking at the dried pools of blood beneath her. Her blood .She knew that no one could possibly survive after losing this amount of blood unless…. Unless he was given repeated Blood transfusion. No they didn't want her to die yet they needed her to suffer. 'You`d do the same for one of your brothers' 'maybe, but they have to be really, really nice. I'd definety do it for you though'. "I'm sorry, but I can never be that person anymore" she kneeled down and left a single red rose on the floor, turns around and left.
"Hey guys what happened to Maura's case file?" said Jane looking bit confused.
"Its down with the cold case files, why?" said frost.
"Because I've just came up from there and I couldn't find it".
"Well maybe you just missed it" he never toke his eyes off of his computer. Jane started getting agitated; she pulled his chair away from the computer.
"It`s not there. Now what the hell happened to it?"
"And how should I know? Just pull it from the computer and print it again".
"FINE". Jane went back to her desk. She typed the case number. She had known it by heart. "What the…" Jane stared at the screen, typed the number again only to get the same result.
"Frost try finding Maura's case"
"Why?"
"Just do it"
After a few clicks on his keyboard "what the …?"
They both looked at the screen telling them that there was no such case file found in the data base. Frost tried finding all cases from last year and started looking for Maura's with no luck. He tried all the missing persons report. "Nothing" frost sat back in his chair in surrender "everything is gone, as if it was never there .whoever did this knows his job he didn't leave any trace."
"Try the Surveillance tapes from the cold files storage"
"Deleted".
"Faaaauck" Jane kicked her disc, throw everything on it, grabbed her jacket and left.
"Where is she going?" asked Korsak.
"Where do you think?" korsak nodded, sighed and went back to his work.
Jane stayed at the car awhile after she reached her destination. She got out of the car and started walking to the building. This was a habit that she grows into; every time something happened at work she would come here and remember her friend. With each step she could feel the lump growing in her throat. Flashbacks hitting her like a punch in the guts when she got in that room. "Promise me something". She looked at the blood until she saw it. The red rose left in the middle of the ground. Jane started looking sideways although she knew that no one would be there. She picked it up and stared at it. She carried it with her and put it in the passenger seat. One more stop ahead, baby Maura Doyle's grave. She didn't know why but she kept finding herself there lost in her thoughts staring at the grave stone. A few hours past before she realized she needs to go back to work and try finding something that wasn't there.
As she got up she caught a Glance of a small figure leaning on an oak tree. The figure was wearing hoody, jeans and was facing her. in the figure`s hand was a single "red rose" Jane mumbled.
