Hi, I'm very sorry for my absence but my mother has been in hospital so I couldn't concentrate on writting. I hope that my updates will be more frequent :)
I wish you all Merry Christmas and a happy New Year :)
August 1942.
''Frost.'' called Jane
''Hey Jane,'' he greeted turning around
''I need you to do me a favour.'' started Jane ''Something happened on Friday, it concerns Maura.''
''What happened, is she okay?'' asked Frost quickly
''She's okay, but she could have been seriously hurt if General hadn't passed by at the moment Ian tried to rape her.'' said Jane
''WHAT?'' yelled Frost ''Dr. Isles? I'll kill him.''
''No, you can't kill him. But I want him to pay.''
''I know what you mean, I'll tell guys what's up. He'll pay, trust me.''
''Thanks Frost.'' said Jane and left angry Frost behind
''Where have you been?'' asked Maura
''I took a walk.'' said Jane ''We've been in bed during the weekend, I had to stretch a little. Here, I got you breakfast.'' smiled Jane
''Well, there is something useful in you after all.'' Maura grinned ''I'm hungry, give it here.'' she reached to the bag, but Jane pulled it away
''Are you saying that I'm not useful usually?'' she questioned
''That's what I was saying.'' Maura challenged
''I don't think you deserve this breakfast.'' shrugged Jane
''Hey, now. I think I deserve it very much- after all, I spent my whole weekend in bed with you. That should count as something.''
''It goes both ways babe.'' Jane smiled
''I'll make it worth your while.'' Maura smiled seductively
''Really?'' questioned fake surprised Jane ''Tell me.''
Maura got up from bed and whispered something on Jane's ear.
''I'll set the table.'' said Jane while Maura grinned wickedly
''Jane!''called Maura '' someone has beaten Ian up.''
''Really?'' Jane asked ''Why would anyone do that?'' she asked sarcastically
''Jane,'' said Maura slowly approaching Jane who was sitting at their desk ''Tell me you haven't had anything to do with that.''
''I didn't.''
''You did.'' Maura said
''I just told you...'' Jane turned around in her seat
''You're lying. I know the tone of your voice when you lie and when you're telling the truth.'' said Maura ''And you're lying.''
''He had it coming.'' shrugged Jane
''You're not the judge! What were you thinking? They could throw you out for this or put you on trial!'' yelled Maura
''I was thinking how that son of bitch tried to rape the woman I love!'' Jane yelled back
''General knows about it, he put it in his record and he's been keeping an eye on him.'' said Maura ''There was no need for all of this.''
''Yes, you are right. Because all the rapists stopped raping people when they got a record.'' spat Jane back ''I'm trying to protect you.''
''I'm not some porcelain doll! I'm not going to break the first time I fall!'' Maura yelled
''Really?'' asked Jane ''I got a different impression.''
''Who are you? Even better, who do you think I am?'' yelled Maura ''I'm not a child and I'm certainly not someone you need to take care of.''
''Again, not impression I got.'' Jane yelled back
''You can be so immature!'' said Maura and walked out of a tent
''Dr. Isles.'' Jack greeted
''Jack, I've told you already. It's Maura.'' she smiled
''What did Jane do?'' he asked
''She's being an idiot.'' shrugged Maura
''Maura, I've been married and I know when woman is sulking. And judging by your expression, poor Jane is in big trouble.'' he smiled
''Poor Jane?'' Maura asked ''There is nothing poor about her, she's in trouble. She could get thrown out for this! I can't believe she did it.'' she shook her head
''She's the one responsible for Ian?'' he sighed '' I could have guessed. Maura, she only tried to protect you.''
''Protect me? She didn't protect me, General did. She was so blinded by hatred that she couldn't see me almost being raped. Now, she's just using her friends to show her power over him. I'm not property therefore I can't be owned. And I'm certainly not a poor innocent girl she needs to protect, I'm a goddamn doctor! I'm smart and clever, I've shown I have strenght to stand up to much bigger fishes then her!'' argued Maura
''I know Maura, but try and look at it from her point of view... '' started Jack, but before he could finish
''Dr. Isles?'' a soldier approached ''General wants to see you immediately at his tent.''
Maura walked into Generals tent, confused over the reason why was she summoned.
''Dr. Isles.'' greeted General as she walked into the room. Jane was sitting in a chair in front of Generals desk. Dr. Williams, General and Korsak were standing on other side of the desk, where General usually sat.
''General,'' she greeted back
''Please sit down. We need to discuss something.''
''What is this about, General?'' asked Maura looking at Jane, but Jane just shrugged also not knowing what's going on.
''It's about Dr. Ian.'' started General ''He was beaten up this morning.''
''And we are here...because?'' asked Jane
''Because he tried to rape Maura last week and you are my first suspects for this.'' General stated
''I didn't beat him up.'' Jane said
''I didn't either. I mean, I don't have enough strenght.'' said Maura
''Maura, was Jane in your tent this night?'' asked General
''Yes. She was there.'' confirmed
''Dr. Isles, Ian is a great doctor. Are you sure he tried to rape you?'' asked Dr. Williams. He received four angry glances
''Yes, I am sure Dr. Williams.'' Maura stated angry
''Are you implying I can't see well?'' asked General
''Of course not General. I'm sorry for stepping out of line.'' said Dr. Williams ''But Dr. Isles, how can you be sure that Rizzoli hadn't left the tent whole night? I mean she's your roommate yes, but you fell asleep. How can you know what she's doing when you sleep?''
''You are right, I can not know where she is while I'm asleep.'' confirmed Maura ''If you gave me a time frame maybe I could be of help.''
''He was attacked at 2 o'clock in the morning.'' stated General
''Did they see who attacked him?'' Jane asked
''No, they haven't. They said few people was there but they ran away.'' said General ''My primary goal is to see if you had any part in this.''
''Well, I can vouch that she was in the tent at that time of night.'' Maura said. Maura was relieved that Jane was in tent at the time, so she couldn't beat Ian up.
''How can you vouch? You were awake?'' asked Dr. Williams
''Yes, I was awake and so was Jane.'' confirmed Maura.
''What were you doing at two in the morning? Watching the stars?'' asked Williams. Maura blushed, Korsak and General noticed the sudden colour in Maura's and lack of one in Jane's cheeks.
''Dr. Williams I don't think it's necessary to...'' started Korsak
''No, it is. Because Dr. Isles could be lying and I want the one responsible for this!'' Williams cut in and added ''Let's be honest, she's a woman. She couldn't became a doctor if she couldn't lie.''
''I am not lying.'' said Maura angry ''I'm telling you the truth. I know Jane was in our tent at 2 in the morning and I'll swear if I have to.''
''But how? How can you be certain?''
''Because she was between my legs at that time.'' Maura retored. Jane, Korsak and General looked at her in shock ''And you can be sure I don't let anyone there but her, so that's why I'm sure she was there. We're clear on that?'' (Claire censored this for her grandchildren )
''You...she...you two...''
''Dr. Williams, it's enough. What they do in privacy of their tent is not our worry. Please sit down Maura. I'm sorry for all of this.'' said General ''Maura, last question. Are you sure Jane didn't tell boys to beat him up?''
''I...'' she swallowed hard ''Yes. I'm sure she would never do that.''
General and Korsak could both see she was lying. ''Are you certain?''
''Yes.'' Maura confirmed
Jane and Maura entered their tent, Jane sat at the edge of bed while Maura leaned on wardrobe.
''You lied for me.'' said Jane. Maura didn't responded.
''You lied for me.'' repeated Jane
''I heard you the first time.''
''I didn't think you would, not after...'' Jane trailed off
''Jane, I don't like what you did. I feel like there is a part of you you were hiding from me. But I still love you, and I'll do anything in my power to protect you.'' finished Maura
''I'm sorry. I just couldn't stop feeling guilty about it all. I wasn't there to protect you the first time, I wanted to make sure it doesn't happen again.''
''Hey,'' said Maura kneeling in front of Jane and taking Jane's hands in hers ''We're together in this. In truth and in lie. I've told you already, I'm here forever.''
''I couldn't ask for better companion for life.'' Jane smiled
''She was lying.'' stated General ''Thank God Williams was in shock so he didn't see it.''
''I know. Jane told the boys and they took the matter in their own hands.'' Korsak agreed
''I can't allow it in my base. If anyone would ever find out I let them get away with it, I would have a riot on my hands. I have to send them away in safe hands before I go away.''
''Where are you going General?''
''I'm afraid that both Churchill and Gott both lost confidence in me due to latest casualties. I'll be in charge of Persian and Iraq Command, while I'll be replaced by Harold Alexander. He's a good man and I don't doubt he'll take care of you all, but I think I should send Maura and Jane away. If they stay here they'll be in trouble, let's be honest the battle will start very soon. At least I can send them to the best division we got.''
''I'll be going with them, I'm sure Jack will go to.'' said Korsak ''So where are we going?''
''1st Armoured Division.''
I hope you liked the chapter. All the characters have existed (I mean in the army), of course I can't know what kind of persons they were, so I made up their character. Please R&R!
