When Maura examined the victim's body, she found traces of semen on her clothes and skin. The victim had been badly injured and raped. This made her cringe. She was at that club it could have easily been her on the cold metal table. She recalled how she left the club, tipsy and alone. Anything could have happened.
Maura and Jane walked into the interrogation room. Jarred sat there, scared look in his eyes. She had never seen him so nervous before. He looked at her and let out a short laugh.
"Maura, really you know I had nothing to do with this."
"Jarred, I am just here for a sample."
"Whatever Maur, and where were you that night? You're the one who left without any word."
Maura took out a long q-tip and proceeded with the swab,
"Jarred, open your mouth please it will only take a second."
Jarred complied and Maura took the swab.
"So, where did you go?"
"What?" Maura questioned
"Where did you go the night you ditched?"
"Ditched? You left me at a table while you went dancing, I had every reason to leave."
"Maura" Jane said, "Don't bother with him, you can go back to the lab, I am going to ask him some more questions."
Maura walked up and headed for the door, she walked out and Jane followed.
"Maura, I am sorry. I hope you are okay." Jane touched Maura's arm trying to comfort her.
"Jane, I am okay." Maura smiled and walked away headed back to the crime lab.
It was a long day and Maura headed home. By the time she got to her driveway, her phone started to ring. It was Jane
"Hey, Jane, what's up?"
"I was wondering if I could stop by"
"Of course Jane, come over I can cook us something."
Maura walked into her house and headed towards the fridge. Not much there since she had no time to go shopping, she did have a salad kit and some chicken she could cook up. She grabbed the salad and the chicken and closed the fridge. Just then, Jane was knocking on her door.
"It's open" She shouted
Jane walked in, "Ya know, Maur, you should really lock your doors."
"I knew you were coming, why lock it?"
"Just, for safety!"
Jane and Maura both laughed. Maura started cooking the chicken and Jane fixed the salad.
"Since this whole case, we haven't really gotten to know each other, or at least talk about the other night," Jane said as she was putting the mixed salad in two bowls Maura had given her.
"Yea, I know. I am sorry." Maura said.
"Maura it's ok, but I would like to talk."
