It had been about a week since Jane got out of the hospital. One morning she and Maura both woke up to the sound of their cells goin off. Come to find out there was another murder. When the couple got to the crime scene things looked worse than it did that night the duo discovered what mauled the first guy. There were several bloody paw prints anlong the two bodys. Guts and blood were everywhere.
Maura was protective of Jane at this point. The creature had yet to be caught and Maura was terrified it would come after Jane again, a risk Maura wasn't willing to take. She hovered over Jane constantly when they were in the field. "Jane don't go far babe."
Jane nodded her head and stepped away from the body. She realized her mouth was watering from the scene. She didn't understand it. She walked down the docks, hearing the loud popping of her heels hitting the damp wood in the early morning light. She saw a hand print from one of the victims on the brick wall and closed her eyes. The detective then got an image of a woman screaming and running. The boy friend stopped and pulled a gun and as he fired, Rizzoli opened her eyes and gasped.
Maura didn't like the look she saw in Janes eyes."baby what's wrong? Talk to me!"
Jane looked over at Maura and leaned against the hard brick wall of the local bar. "I...don't know, baby. I kinda had a vision of what happened here but..." She swallowed hard then looked down.
Maura looked worried."baby do you wanna go home? I'll have abe take over. You're my focus."
Jane shook her head and wiped her brow with her forearm. "No...No I'm fine." She looked at the hand print then touched it with her rubber gloved finger. "It's still wet...Maura...This was recent like within a couple hours recent."
Maura nodded. "Baby we'll figure it out. You're not fine. What is going on with you?"
Jane shook her head. "Nothing baby. Lets just figure this shit out here. Okay?" She sighed before Maura could say it... "I know: Language, Jane."
The detective smirked then planted a kiss on Maura's temple. "I want a sample of this." She said pointing back to the bloody hand print. "It's odd how most of the blood was already dry but this print here is still fresh."
Maura nodded "Yes ma'am detective Rizzoli. I'll get my guys right on that." She waved at one of the guys and they ran to do what she was asking. Maura loved how they were at her beck & call. "see, done!"
Jane smirked. "Mmm such power is sexy." She grinned. "Just let me know as soon as possible about all this evidence. Okay?"
Maura rolled her eyes and grinned at the brunette. "Like I would really leave my woman hanging?"
After spending about another hour at the crime scene Jane got a few more visions and freaked out. She was alone and a little worried. She envisioned herself pinning down the man and slicing his jugular with her teeth then ripping out his guts as the woman screamed.
After getting the images out of her head from killing the couple, she went back to work and slowly walked into the lab with Maura. She didn't look at her or the bodies like she usually did. She continued to look away and try to distract herself with the scars on her hands.
Before putting on her garb for the autopsy, Maura spun around and took her girlfriend's hands in hers. "Baby girl, if you don't get rid of that sad look I'm going to have to get rid of it for you. What's going on with you? Don't shut me out!"
Jane stepped towards her and slowly looked up at her girlfriend. "Baby... What do you know about werewolves?"
Maura raised her eyebrow. "They are very dangerous creatures when provoked. They usually run in packs. They are a very mystical and magical creature. Why do you ask?"
She shook her head. "No reason. Um I'm not feeling all that great. I'm goin to head back to my place." She kissed Maura softly. "I'll see ya later."
Maura wasn't sure what was going on with Jane. She sighed when she said she was going to leave. Maura decided it was best to give Jane some space and she stayed at the office most of the night then went home to her place which she hadn't been to in months.
Jane grabbed her laptop the moment she got home and started researching. What she found out was confirmation on what she believed...That she was the killer of the couple. Finding that out, Rizzoli grabbed a beer and started at the monitor. "My god..."
Maura didn't know what was going on with Jane and she knew her well enough to know that when Jane was ready she'd tell her. So for a week, Maura stayed in the morgue, things were quiet for a while after the attack on the couple. So Maura stayed in the morgue and stayed at her own house, missing Jane like crazy but she wanted to give her the space she clearly needed.
Finally, Jane couldn't stand being away from Maura. Walking into the autopsy room she walked up behind her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her waist. "Baby... I need to talk to you." Jane had killed again and this morning she had proof that it was her.
Maura tensed not realizing at first that it was Jane but then turned in her arms to face her. "Anything baby. What's going on?"
Jane pulled away then grabbed the paper bag of clothes and dumped them out on the autopsy slab. "This is what I woke up in this morning." She said staring down at the bloody ripped up pajamas she usually wore to bed. She slowly looked at her girlfriend to see her reaction.
Maura was unfazed by this, she had almost expected Jane to say that she was the killer. Werewolf legend said that if bitten by one on a full moon, you became one. Maura knew what her girlfriend had become. "Okay baby, well get those out of here before you get your self into trouble. It's going to be okay."
Jane let Maura handle the evidence as she stood looking at the slab. She didn't think the ME knew what she meant when she brought in her pajamas. "Maura... you know I'm the killer right? There is a man laying in someone's side yard right now, mutilated...because of me." She had tears in her eyes.
Maura nodded and pulled Jane into her arms. "I realize that. I know what you've done but I'm not going to let you go down for something you have no control over. I'll protect you baby." She held Jane close and rubbed her back. "It's going to be okay baby, we'll get through this together."
"You're not scared?"
"Of you? Not in the least."
