Maura awoke suddenly. The space next to her on the bed was empty and cold, causing her to sit up quickly and look around the room. Noticing the bedroom door was slightly ajar she slowly climbed off the bed and made her way to the door. It was fairly silent in the rest of the house, aside from the sound of Bass moving around and the slightest hum of the coffee machine. She tip toed carefully to peer into the kitchen area, letting a short sigh out when she sees Jane at the counter. The detective turns and looks to the doctor, smiling slightly.

"Morning, I put some coffee on" she greets softly.

"Thank you" Maura steps towards the coffee machine and lifts down a cup, looking around the room again "where's Beth?" she asks.

"In the guest house with Ma" Jane replies, watching the doctor's movements.

"Okay..." Jane raises her eyebrows at the doctor's short response.

"She say anything to you last night?" Jane asks, taking a sip of her coffee at the end. Maura continued to potter about by the sink, back still turned to Jane.

"Not really, just...well she was very shook up. The wound on her arm will need to be looked at properly today, and she has bruised her left ribs rather badly" Maura stops and sighs, finally turning to look at Jane. "Jane, she's..." Maura couldn't find the words to say what she wanted to say "there were other marks on her body that would indicate she has been subject to physical abuse in the past. Beth is a very sensitive girl and..." the doctor stops. Her mind is swirling. She can barely look the detective in the eye and Jane notices.

"Maura if there is something you are keeping from me..." Jane begins, her voice understanding if anything.

"It's not-" Maura begins but stops upon Angela and Beth walking in.

"Morning Maura" Angela greets, smiling to the doctor, her eyes with a slight glint of knowing.

"Good Morning Angela" Maura replies smiling, though gazing at the woman a little longer as she notices the smile on her face and glint in her eye.

Beth comes to a stop next to Jane and looks upon the interaction with the detective, although Jane's expression is slightly twisted in confusion.

"What's up with you two?" she asks, a strong rasp in her voice to enunciate her confusion.

Angela and Maura turn and look at the two girls, both of them gasping slightly and glancing between Beth and Jane and the absolute picture they were of each other, they may have well be stood next to a mirror. Beth's eyes widen as if to say don't give the game away making the women stop. Maura's eyes finally land upon Jane, who is now staring back to her.

"Come on let me clean up your arm" Angela takes Beth's other arm gently and leads her back to the guest room.

Maura's and Jane's eyes are still connected.

Maura's eyes narrow slightly as she thinks 'she is stunning, I've always found her gorgeous- beautiful. But this morning, this morning she is stunning. How is it that I feel the way I felt last night, with Beth, here, now, with Jane? But this is more. Yes, it is definitely more. It's as though...I don't know...have I always felt this way? Maybe I just never realised until...ah, I see' a small contented smile plays on the doctor's lips.

"Maura" Jane's gentle voice pulls Maura from her thoughts.

"Mm" the doctor replies, still gazing into the detective's eyes.

"Just checking you were still awake. You went off a little there huh?" a small smile played on the detective's mouth.

"I guess so...yeah" Maura laughs slightly, a small smile on her own face.

...

The rest of that day went by rather quickly. Beth returned to the station with Jane, Maura and Angela, resuming her position in the cafeteria, only this time going through file after file with Frost. That morning Beth had been distracted somewhat from the events of the day before, repression Beth thought with a bitter amusement, psycho analysing her own state of being. But now, back here it was all coming back to her, and the sickening feeling that someone had hurt her friends, and was maybe coming after her made her hair stand on end.

Frost sits back in his chair and rubs his head.

"We aren't getting anywhere" he yawns.

"Nope" Beth agrees with a sigh.

"No evidence, no witnesses. Whoever is doing this is..." he stops, noticing Beth is watching him nervously.

"Is what?" she asks, worry in her tone.

"They're good at it" he finishes quietly. "There's got to be something..."

"Maybe..." Beth's eyes narrow in thought.

"What?" he asks looking to her with determination.

"Well...the guy I chased yesterday is obviously you know good at PK- Parkour" she corrects, noticing Frost's look of confusion at the differing terms of the sport "I mean there are only a few groups of people I know in Boston that can do it. They all go downtown around four-ish and we race or just run until around eight. Maybe if we went I could recognise who it was...you know build, style, trainers...something"

Frost smiles "anything is good at this point. I'll let Jane know" he picks up his phone and dials "yeah, listen Beth's had an idea. We're gonna go downtown at around 4 and see if she can pick out a few of those PK guys – it means Parkour" he winks to Beth who smiles slightly "oh yeah? What time's he getting here? Got anymore leads? Okay sure, I'll let her know" Frost smiles to Beth slightly. "She said she'll meet us there, and your err ex Christian Chalmers right?" Beth nods "he's coming in for questioning shortly"

"Why?" Beth sits forward slightly.

"Just getting everyone's story now, we had a hard time finding him yesterday" Frost smiles to her.

"Okay" she sits back again "will I be allowed to see him"

Frost nods "sure"

"Okay, good" she crosses her arms across her chest and rubs her hands up and down them lightly.

"We're gonna solve this, I promise" Frost assures her.

Beth nods and smiles.

...

Jane walks through the building of Beth's dorm. In her hand she holds a piece of paper with a door number. She checks the number of the door with the paper before knocking. A young man answers wearing glasses and dark gothic clothing. Jane makes a face at him for a moment before pushing past him and entering the room. She looks around taking in the dark and poster laden room. Korsak comes in behind her offering her a disapproving look.

"Hey you can't just barge in here" the young man protests.

Jane flashes her badge at him. "Your name Harry Potter?"

Korsak chuckles slightly making the young man scowl at him "yeah" he mutters awkwardly "you wanna tell me why you're in here. I don't do drugs if that's what you're looking for."

"Emily Gardener, Patrick Carter, Craig Moorcroft, Hayden Edmons- they friends of yours?" Jane turns to face Harry.

"No, they were the elite you know. I'm just a little freak" he laughs slightly offering a snarl to Jane.

"Yeah, okay. What about Elizabeth Daniels?"

Harry softens slightly "yeah I know Lizzie" Lizzie huh Jane makes a mental note.

"You friends with her, or is she part of the elite too?" Jane replies.

Harry shakes his head slightly, all attitude lost "Lizzie's a nice girl, we get along. Is she okay? People are saying you think she did it"

Jane eyes him carefully "we don't" she offers simply. "You wanna tell me why every time we ask a question about yesterday people give us your name?" Jane places her hands on her hips.

"They think I'm weird, let's face it I am. But I'm not a killer..." his answer was sincere.

"Well then, who do you want to point the finger at? Now almost everyone's pointed theirs at you, that is"

Harry sits down on his bed and shakes his head "I don't even know. I may not have liked them but I wouldn't have wished death upon them. Everyone's really freaked out about it... I heard a group of guys in the psych class talking about how they think one of the lectures has started it all or something. That's all I've heard though" he looks to Jane and Korsak.

"Alright, thanks kid" Jane mutters before turning to exit.

"Detectives" he stands to speak to them "let Lizzie know I'm thinking about her. I hope you catch whoever did this soon"

Jane and Korsak glance to each other before offering Harry a nod and leaving.

"Creepy kid" Korsak mutters as they head off campus.

"Good kid though" Jane sighs. "We gotta check this psych class out Korsak-" she cuts off when she hears calling behind her.

"Detectives!" Harry calls chasing after them. They turn and stop. "I..." he looks around nervously. "Take me down to the station please?" he asks anxiously.

Jane and Korsak give each other a look of confusion.

...

While Frost went to the bathroom Beth sat staring blankly ahead. She barely heard Angela's 'pssts' from behind the counter. Turning to the noise with a frown Beth raises her hands upwards in question, to which Angela shakes her head and rolls her eyes, crossing the room to the girl instead.

"You're worse than Jane" the older woman huffs.

Beth eyes her with a slight amusement "what's up?"

"How are you doing? You and Detective Frost have been going over these files for ages. I heard him talking about taking you out to try and identify someone, are you sure that's safe? Can I meet your ex-boyfriend when he comes in? Are you hungry? When are you going to speak to Maura?" four hours worth of questions literally spilled out of Angela's mouth making Beth raise her eyebrows.

"Erm" came her first response "I haven't had a chance to speak to Maura yet...I can't really sneak down to her lab."

"You should speak to her before you all go home later, it'll be awkward otherwise and Janie won't know what's going on" Beth nodded in agreement "I can't believe you kissed her, that'll cause all kinds of trouble if Jane finds out you know, I'm glad you did it though. At least Maura realises she loves Jane, and maybe she can start forgiving her too. I still don't get the whole mentality of it though" Beth continued to nod at her 'Grandmother's' monologue with a slight smile.

"Yep, I'll speak to her don't worry about it. To answer your other questions: yes I will be going with detective Frost; it's something at least; and sure, you can meet him..." Beth smiled awkwardly.

"Well, just be careful okay? I only just got you back" Angela pulls Beth into a tight hug and gently runs her hands up and down the girl's back. At first Beth was slow to respond but returned the hug. Angela placed a kiss on the side of her head, holding it there for a while before tightening the hug once more "I love you kid" she whispers softly.

Beth's eyes widen slightly, she can feel the tears rolling in. "I love you too" she whispers in response, eliciting a heart warmed gasp from Angela.

Well there you go. The mystery continues. I wonder what's got poor Harry Potter spooked, I'd jokingly stick in a Professor Voldemort in there but I think I'd have to label this a crossover then ;P It took a little longer than 24 hours; I literally wrote, re-wrote, renovated, and re-organised this chapter more times than I'd like to think! The next chapter is going to get into some actual Rizzles, as I know you are all desperate for it, but also a lot more action. It's going to be a big one... may only be up Thursday though! Have a great week and weekend! xxx
