After getting done with the crime scene everybody heads back to the station to start investigating the crime. Maura and Jane head in together and walk up to homicide where Jane notices the father of their daughter.
"What is he doing here? I thought he had the night off." Jane points to Joey who is talking to Crowe by the coffee pot on the table in the corner.
"Hi did." Maura says looking over before seeing her team head down to the morgue. "I better head down to the morgue."
"Okay, I'll stop by later to…." Jane starts but stops mid sentence.
"Check on me." Maura smiles tilting her head.
Jane rolls her eyes but nods her head. "Yes…okay, to check on you."
"You are very cute." Maura smiles her special smile at Jane before walking away. "See ya later Detective."
Jane laughs slightly at her wife before zeroing on Joey again. Taking a deep breath she walks over to him just as Crowe leaves, thank God. "What are you doing here, where's Kory?"
"There was a drug bust in East Boston, a dealer we've been trying to get for a year now." Joey says as he lets out a yawn. "I had to come in to take lead."
"Okay, where's our daughter?" Jane asks.
"I dropped her off at your place, I didn't know how long this was going to take." Joey says.
"She's home." Jane says as she pulls out her cell phone.
"Yeah what's going on?" Joey asks seeing Jane getting all freaked out as she holds her phone to her head.
"Hey Ma!" Jane says as she talk to her mother. "Yeah I know it's late. Can you go to my house and stay with Kory.
"Everything okay?" she asks.
"Yeah, Just a late case that we're all working on and I'd feel better knowing she was with you.
"Of course Sweetheart, I'll head over right away." she says.
"Thanks Ma." Jane says before hanging up the phone.
Joey just looks at Jane confused and then sees a bunch of uni's walking in with Cavanaugh and realizes that something big happened. "Why can't Kory stay at your place alone, she does all the time."
"Right now I'd feel better knowing she wasn't alone." Jaen says as she runs her hand through her hair.
"Okay, what's up? Bad case?" Joey asks.
"You don't know!" Jane says shocked.
Joey just shakes his head. "We just got back an hour ago, I've been in interrogation."
"We got called in on a homicide, or should I say mass murder." Jane says.
"What!" Joey says stunned.
"We found 6 people with their throats slit and their blood pooled on the floor." Jane breaths as she stretches out her neck. "We still got several more bodies to find according to the amount of blood that was in the basement."
"Jesus." Joey hisses.
"He had a message too….welcoming us to opening night." Jane informs.
"Like a play or something?" Joey asks.
"No, I think the killer is going for some sort of art show thing." Jane breaths.
"Wow." Joey says as his mind is boggled with information. "No wonder Cavanaugh came in here all freaked out."
Jane nods her head in agreement. "He's gonna address everybody about-"
"I need everybody to get over here!" Cavanaugh calls out to everyone on the floor.
"Now." Jane finishes as she and Joey walk over to the group waiting for Cavanaugh to speak.
"As most of you know there has been a mass murder on 3rd and Franklin. There were 6 bodies sitting post modem in a pool of their own blood, about sixty quarts. Which means we have 4 more bodies to find."
Jane and Joey just look at each other as the who pen starts to rustle up.
"The media is aware of what has happened and we should expect it all to hit the fan tomorrow morning with the news and papers." Cavanaugh says looking around him. "Detectives Rizzoli, Korsak, and Frost will take point but everybody will need to chip in…answering tips on the phones, checking out leads." Cavanaugh informs the other officers and detectives. "This case is everybody's top priority….let's get the coffee and get to work. It's gonna be a long night."
"Yeah no kidding." Jaen says as everybody starts to get back to work.
"Look…" Joey says slowly as he tilts his head at Jane. "You need any help just…ask."
"You are a drug cop Joey." Jane reminds him. "They were covered in blood, not crack cocaine."
"Jesus…I'm here alright." Joey says rolling his eyes as he walks away.
Korsak then steps closer to Jane hearing the last part of the conversation. "Can't you give him a little bit of a break, he just offered to help."
"We don't need his help….we have it under control." Jane says waving back and forth between him and herself.
"Well I know that." Korsak scoffs as he waves her over to the board where Frost is pinning pictures up.
"What do we got?" Jane asks as she and Korsak make there way over and look at the board along with a few uni's on duty.
"We have 3 positive ideas." Frost says first pointing to the teenage girl. "Keisha King." he then points to the man in his forties. "Phillip Seers." and last at the old woman. "Ethyl Topplemeyer."
"No idea on the boys then." Korsak says looking at the last three pictures on the board.
"Not yet." Frost says putting his hands on his hips.
Jae nods her head and looks at the watch that Maura gave her on their first anniversary. "It's too late to inform the families now…we'll go first thing in the morning."
"Yeah." Korsak agrees as he looks at the board.
"Let's see." Jane says as she walks to the board and starts to piece things together. "We have 6 victims…all different races and ages. And as far as we know they are not connected."
"Correct." Korsak adds in.
"We got 4 missing and no idea where to look." Jane says shaking her head.
"Frankie and about 8 uni's are patrolling the neighborhood for anything suspicious…but it's the middle of the night, they got nothing yet." Frost adds.
"Maura down in the morgue?" Korsak asks.
"Yup." Jane nods her head. "And I'm guessing I'm not gonna see my wife for a while, with all the shit she's got to sort through with the bodies and blood."
A few hours later Maura is looking at the body of Keisha King when Jane comes walking in with Frankie on her tail. "I was wondering when a Rizzoli was going to grace me with their presence."
"Yeah well you got two for the price of one." Frankie jokes as Jane rolls her eyes making her way over to Maura trying not to notice that on the wall clock it say that it's 3 in the morning.
"You guys get all the blood sorted out?" Jane asks.
"Yes we did." Maura nods her head using her finger to motion the two detectives over to the freezer. She opens it up to reveal ten containers.
"It's freezing in here." Frankie whines as she tries to warm up his hands.
Jane rolls her eyes once more at her little brother. "It's a freezer Genius….so this is it?"
"Yes we have Keisha King's blood, Ethyl Topplemeyer's blood and Philip Seers's blood." Maura says pointing to three containers labeled with their names. "I then ran the 7 other blood samples through the database and 2 names came up."
"Convicted criminals." Jane guesses.
"No." Maura says lifting up two pictures of two container. "2 marines."
"Jesus." Jane shakes her head as she looks at the two guys realizing they aren't two of the John Does. "These are two of our missing vics."
"Right." Maura nods her head.
"2 marines…10 dead bodies, could this get any worse." Frankie says shaking his head.
"Oh I think it's gonna get a lot worse." Jane sighs as she leaves the freezer."
"Jane." Maura calls after her wife as she and Frankie step out.
"Maura did you find anything on the bodies?" Jane asks.
"Not yet." Maura informs her.
"K, I'm gonna go…upstairs." Jane says heading to the door.
"Jane." Maura says softly but Jane is already out the door and own the hallway.
"Woe." Frankie says shaking his head as he looks over at Maura who looks worried. "She'll be alright."
"She hasn't had a case like this in a long time." Maura says thinking about it.
"Jane's the best….she'll figure this out." Frankie smiles at Maura. "And you are the best….you'll figure this out."
"Oh Francis, that's so sweet of you." Maura gushes.
"Jesus." Frankie groans as he walks away. "Have fun Maura."
An hour later Jane is sitting at on the spare table in front of the murder board just starring at it in a daze when Korsak comes walking over. "Jane."
"Mmm?" Jane grunts eyes still starring at the board.
"I got a couple hours of sleep on the bunks…you go do the same." Korsak says waving his head.
"I'm good." Jane says through tired eyes.
"Jane." Korsak tries.
"Korsak…I'm good." Jane says slowly.
Frost then comes walking over and looks at Jane starring at the board. "I just got off the phone with Maura, she's been trying to get a hold of you…wants you to head down to her office.
"Is everything okay?" Jane asks jumping off the table.
"She just wants to see you." Frost says.
"Alright, I'll be back." Jane says as she walks over to the elevator pressing the button and getting in looking straight ahead as the doors close and she heads down. She stands there in silence till she gets to the morgue and walks in to a couple of interns looking over some files. "Where's Dr. Isles?" She asks.
"In her office Detective." one intern says nodding over.
"Thanks." Jane says as she heads over knocking on the door as she walks in to find Maura sitting on her couch blinking back tired eyes. "Are you okay?"
"I've been trying to get a hold of you, your phone went straight to voicemail." Maura says as Jane walks over and takes a seat next to her wife leaning back against the back.
"I got lost in the murder board, I'm sorry." Jane says holding back a yawn.
Maura just places her hand on Jane's knee. "It's okay…I just wanted you to come down so you could take a quick nap."
"Korsak talk to you?" Jane asks looking over.
"Excuse me, but I am your wife. I'm the one that told him to tell you to nap." Maura says giving off a slight smile. "But I figured you'd blow him off so I called Frost."
"I see." Jane says as she finally lets out a yawn.
"Your mother called, she's at home…Kory's fast asleep." Maura says running her hand through her hair.
"Good." Jane nods relieved that her daughter's not alone.
"And…." Maura drawls placing her hand on Jane's cheek cupping it in her hand. "It's late and we don't have anything to go on yet, so we should get some sleep while we can. Because I foresee many late nights in our future." Maura says.
Jane leans into her wife's touch and nods her head knowing she is right. "You're right."
"Of course I'm right, what are you new." Maura jokes.
"You see right there…it's weird." Jane says as she moves to position herself laying the long way on the couch leaning against the pillow on the arm.
"What?" Maura asks confused as she lays down by Jan resting her head on Jane's chest, draping her arm over her torso.
"Whenever we're knee deep in a murder investigation you start whipping out the jokes." Jane laughs softly as she wraps both her arms around Maura holding her tight.
"I do not." Maura says looking up at Jane.
"Ahh…yeah you do babe." Jane argues waiting for Maura to reply back but looks down to notice Maura is already asleep. She smiles down at the sight of her wife and for a couple minutes forgets what she saw earlier that night and just concentrates on the love of her life…the other mother to her daughter. For a couple minutes everything is okay, as she drifts off into her own sleep.
What the two women don't know…is that things are about to get a lot worse.
