Chapter 7

Maura was driving fast toward the address; faster than she would normally drive. She was trying to keep a clear mind but it wasn't working. It's going to be fine. Nothing is going to happen. She'll just surrender and that will be the end of it. Maura knew that everything she was saying in her mind was wrong. Of course, it wasn't going to be fine. It hasn't been for the past few days. Something will happen. Maura just hoped nothing happened to herself. And Maura definitely knew that her mother wouldn't surrender. Her mother has such a strong motive and won't give up this fight. Maura now regrets Jane not coming with her. I'm a big girl. I don't need Jane to fight my fights for me. She thought to herself. Besides, Jane has to stay home to make sure nothing happens to Lindsay. She is the only real family I have left.

Before she knew it, she was at the location. The first thing she saw was an abandoned warehouse. It was dark out but she could make out the outline of it from the light of the moon. Then, she saw Korsak's car and parked right next to it. The thing that puzzled her was that the car doors were still open. Maura got out of the car and shut her door softly.

"Korsak?" She whispered loud enough for them to hear her. When she pulled in, she couldn't tell if they were in the car or not. She took out a small flashlight out of her pocket and shined it near the car. "Frost?" When she got to the car, she realized they weren't in the front seats or in any other part of the car. Why did they go in without me? She thought but she already knew the answer to that one. They don't want me to get hurt. Korsak and Frost knew that she was coming tonight and they knew that no matter how much they or Jane tried to stop her, Maura wouldn't have changed her decision. They must've went inside and I'm coming in no matter what they say.

Maura started off toward the warehouse that was about 10 feet away. The click-clack of her heels echoed all around here. She probably already knows I'm here now. She may even be outside with me. The thought made Maura quicken her pace. Soon, she was about 2 feet from the door and she tiptoed toward it and noticed there was as small window and she could see light inside. I don't remember seeing that light before. Maura thought and now she knew that her mother was there. She just hoped the odds were in her favor and not in her mother's. Maura grabbed the door handle lightly, took a deep breath and turned it. This is it.

She opened the door slightly and what she saw scared her. Korsak and Frost were bound up and tied and they weren't moving "Oh my god." She said loudly and regretted it. Instinctively, she ran over to them and checked their pulses. They were alive but unconscious. Other than that, they looked fine.

Suddenly, she heard someone behind her but it was too late. Maura turned around to see her mother.

"It's nice to see you, Maura." Katarina said as she brought the knife down.

It was only about an hour after Jane ended up falling asleep when she was awoken by the ring of her cell phone. Jane bolted up and looked down at the caller I.D. She could barely keep her eyes open so she lifted the cell phone close to her face. Maura was calling her.

"Thank god." Jane said happily as she pressed answer. "Maura? Thank god you're alright. I was so scared and worried that-" She would've kept going but what she heard chilled her to the core.

Jane heard a menacing laugh and a voice that wasn't Maura's. "Jane Rizzoli is scared and worried? The end of the world must be coming." The voice sounded like an old woman's; definitely not Maura.

"Who the hell are you?" Jane asked as she jumped out of her bed and slipped on her shoes. She still had on clothes from when she fell asleep last night.

"You're not smart enough to figure that out?" the woman asked.

"Are you Maura's mom?" Jane whispered as she passed Lindsay's room.

"Correct." Katarina said. "See, I knew you were smart, Jane."

"Where the hell is Maura?" Jane said as she put on her jacket.

"We both know the answer to that, Jane." Katarina said.

Jane's jaw dropped as she ran over to the little piece of paper on the table that said the address of where Maura went. "If you hurt her, I swear to-" Jane was interrupted.

"What will you do?" Katarina asked and laughed. "Shoot me? It won't matter soon enough because you're going to be too late." Then Jane heard Maura calling out to her and said for Jane to help her. Then, Maura screamed so loud that it hurt her ears. Tears started to fill Jane's eyes.

"Maura!" Jane yelled but she knew Maura probably couldn't hear her.

"Goodbye." Katarina said.

"No, wait!" Jane yelled as the call was disconnected. "Oh my god." Jane said to herself as she got her gun and put it in her holster. She looked at the address one more time. She was about to walk out the door when she heard a familiar voice.

"Jane?" She turned to see Lindsay standing in the hallway. "What's going on?" Lindsay rubbed her eyes and yawned.

I can't tell her. Maura said to protect her. "You know the case Maura was called to a few hours ago?" Lindsay nodded. "Well, Maura needs help now so I have to go." Jane tried to remain calm but she knew that Lindsay heard her yelling just a few moments ago.

"Maybe I can help you." Lindsay said with a smile. "I can be really helpful."

Jane shook her head. "Maura wants you to stay home. We'll be back later." Will both of us be coming back? And will be dead or alive? Jane thought and pushed it out of her mind. I can't think like that.

"Okay." Lindsay said. "I'll see you later."

Jane forced a smile as she walked out the door.

Lindsay knew something was wrong. There was no doubt in her mind. Jane was yelling before. She ran over the window and saw Jane running to her car frantically.

"What is she hiding from me?" She said to herself. She remembers Jane putting a tiny piece of paper down on the table. She walked over and picked it up. It had an address on it and she recognized it tool. She and her mother would drive past it all the time. What if it's not a crime scene? What if Maura is in deep trouble? Lindsay searched her mind. She had a great memory but was she too immersed in her favorite movie to remember Jane and Maura's conversation?

Come on! Think. She closed her eyes. She couldn't think of anything and she got so frustrated. "Damn it!" Lindsay yelled. That instant, she remembered Jane saying, "You don't have to go after her yourself.".

Who was Jane talking about? She asked herself but she knew the answer all along. My real mother. I have to save Maura. But what if I'm already too late?

Lindsay was still in her pajamas but she couldn't care less. If it was any other time, she would never leave the house like this. She slipped on her sneakers. I need a weapon. Something to scare her. Where would Jane keep a gun? Lindsay hoped Jane had a spare gun laying around somewhere. She ran towards Jane's bedroom. Where do I look? Lindsay saw Jane's bedside table. If anything happened during the night, Jane would definitely keep a gun there. She opened the drawer and only saw a bunch of papers. She was about to close it but looked up the papers. Her hand felt a gun and she pulled it out. It felt strange in her hands. She checked and it had 2 bullets. Good enough. I won't have to use it anyway. Lindsay also saw an old holster, put it on and tucked the gun inside.

She ran back out into the living room, opened the door, locked it and closed the door. When Lindsay got out of the building, she noticed Jane's car was long gone. Also, there weren't any cars driving down the street. Lindsay needed a ride. She glanced around and saw the many cars parked on the sides of the street. It won't be a good idea if I steal a car. On the side of the building, she saw an expensive bicycle leaned against it. This will have to do. She jumped on it and raced off to save her sister.
