Maura sat in her office. It was a quiet day, and on days when she didn't have a body to analyze, things could get a little slow. She would have liked to have gotten called to a crime scene because it would take her mind off of Jane. She was thrilled with what happened the night before, but she didn't love how consumed her mind had become with Jane. Even before last night she thought about Jane, but obviously not like this. Just as she was compulsively organizing the files on her desk, her phone rang.
"This is Dr. Isles," she said. It was Korsak on the other line.
There had been a homicide in a park right near BCU. Maura looked at her watch and saw that it was 10:30 in the morning, which was a little strange. Given that most homicides happen at night, she wondered why this one took so long to find. But, she stopped caring, and then asked Korsak if he could give her a lift over there.
As the two arrived, she found Jane and Frost, talking to alleged witnesses to see if anyone saw or remembered anything. Unfortunately, they weren't getting anywhere. Both Jane and Maura were a little nervous as to how they would interact, given what happened, but things went remarkably smoothly. Maura had wondered why it was Korsak who called her and not Jane, but she realized that this was not something worth bringing up. She headed over to the body, which was a man, in good shape, in his mid thirties. Luckily his wallet was still on him. Maura rolled up her sleeves and put gloves on and checked to see if she could find anything else.
Then, a very familiar voice chimed in.
"What've we got?" Jane asked, in her normal tone.
"Jake Adams, 35," Maura responded. "Gunshot wound to the chest, and another on his inner thigh. He also has several abrasions on his neck." She then rolled up his pants "and all over his legs."
Jane jotted all what Maura said down on a notepad. She seemed very serious as per usual.
Maura knew that she would able to find out more once she got him on her table. She also was relived that there was no awkwardness between her and Jane. She had thought about what their first interaction would be like, and she was scared she would freeze. She was very happy that she didn't.
The body made it back to Maura's office, and she was trying to see if she could find anything else. She loved this part of her job, as she really enjoyed putting the puzzle together as to who the victim was and how exactly he or she was killed. She lowered her goggles and looked deeply at Adams' hands. She found some faint scars there that suggested a potential struggle. As she took note, she heard Jane's voice behind her.
"Hard at work, Doc?" Jane said.
Maura was very focused on the body. She couldn't really detect any sort of undertone in Jane's voice, so she gave her the new information she found. "I see some small contusions on both of Jake's hands," she said. She then touched his right hand again, and felt it even more. "His metacarpus on his right hand also appears to be fractured, and he has a very, very deep bruise on his left hand. He clearly did not go down without a fight."
Jane looked around. It was only the two of them in Maura's office, and even though she wanted to get more information on the victim, it was hard for her to resist Maura. One of Jane's only weaknesses was Maura. She loved how feminine she dressed and how properly she spoke, and whenever she went off on any sort of tangent with any sort of medical jargon, Jane melted. She was relieved that there was no one else around because she wanted to get deep into Maura's feelings.
There was a bit of an awkward silence. Finally, Maura broke it. "Jane, what is it? Please say something. "Oh, it's nothing," Jane responded. "But you know, I have always found you even sexier whenever you speak all that medical language."
Maura laughed. "Is that so? Interesting. I have always thought you hated my vernacular, and my descriptions. I have certainly seen you roll your eyes more than once as I have been pontificating on some sort of medical issue. In fact, there was one time when…."
Before Maura could finish her thought, Jane had pulled her close and started to kiss her. The kiss was beautiful, and sexual, and just felt right. Maura moved her tongue further into Jane's mouth, while Jane continued to massage her tongue with Maura's. After about two minutes, Jane finally pulled away.
"Now, as much as I do love it when you speak, I love it even more when we kiss."
Maura smiled back at her and kissed her back. "Jane, I do very much love it too, but we can't do this here. First, we run the risk of getting caught, and second, I feel so odd doing anything in a sexual manner while there are dead bodies around."
Jane realized that Maura had a point. She also realized that she had been gone for a long time, and that the rest of the team was probably wondering where she was.
"Fine. I'll give these notes back to the rest of the guys. If you find anything else out, let me know. But can we continue this tonight?"
"Absolutely," Maura replied, leaning in to kiss Jane one more time.
