Sooo, since most of you are getting sick of Jane and Sharon, I think I can make you happy with the fact that this is one of the last chapters...

Karaoke night, or something like that. When Jane, Maura and Sharon entered the Dirty Robber, the place was filled with people from the Boston Police Department, some people who enjoyed the entertainment and some who didn't know what they were doing there in first place.
There didn't was a DJ, instead there was a PlayStation installed, connected to a beamer and a music-installation. The two men who were singing, some officers from Robbery, didn't face the audience, but looked at screen that showed the lyrics of I Predict A Riot by Kaiser Chiefs.
This wasn't just a normal a karaoke night, this was Singstar-night, BPD-style!
The three of them found an empty table not too far from the stage so they could see everything, but were still able to talk. Jane got drinks for all of them and it didn't take too long for Angela to find them.

'Jane! Maura! Oh, I'm so glad you are here, Frankie is going to sing something tonight! Oh, you even brought Sharon?'

'Yeah, she wanted to come with us.'

'Really? Jane, you didn't force her, did you?'

'No, Angela, she didn't. Maura asked if I wanted to join them, and I said yes. I sing every opportunity I have, so, why not?'

'Are you going to sing tonight?' Angela asked curious.

'Oh, I don't know, maybe if Jane or Maura…'

Sharon got interrupted by the audience that applauded at the end of song. One of the guys on stage jumped in the air when he saw he had won and left the stage head held up high. Sharon wanted to continue her sentence, but when Frankie and one of his colleagues climbed the stage, Angela had no attention for her anymore. Frankie tossed a coin to decide which of them could pick the song. He lost, and ended up singing Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.
Angela, convinced that Frankie was singing for his secret girlfriend that just had to be there, was watching him with tears in her eyes. Frankie lost with 2500 less points than the other guy, but his mom ran immediately ran to him when he left the stage.
Two woman took place behind the microphones and just when they started singing, Frost entered the bar. Jane noticed him and called him over.

'Hey, Frost! You just missed Frankie losing!'

'Ah, that's too bad!'

'Anyway, what are you doing here? Going to sing a song for us?'

'Who knows?' Frost smirked, only then he noticed Sharon. 'Please don't tell me I've also missed you singing…'

'You didn't.' Sharon laughed.

'Are you going to sing?'

'If Jane or Maura is coming with me, yeah, maybe.'

'Maura, you really should go with her.' Frost insisted. 'You really have a good singing voice, I heard it once when I went down to the morgue.'

'Oh, no, no.' Maura blushed. 'I'm really not half as good as Sharon. I would only embarrass myself, so I'm not going to challenge her.'

'I'll do it.' Everyone turned to Jane. 'What? Frankie obviously isn't the talented singer of the family, maybe I am.'

'Okay! Let's go!' Sharon stood and pulled Jane with her to the stage, not noticing Frost rising his eyebrow nor the smile on Maura's face. 'Do you really think you can win?' Sharon asked playfully when they were waiting for their turn.

'Yeah, I actually do. You don't have to sing good to win this game, you just have to sing the right way. I have a lot of experience with this game, and I am actually pretty sure I'm going to beat you.'

'Okay, then here's the deal. If I win, you're going to kiss me, on stage.'

'What?! In front of my colleagues?!'

'Yes.'

'Why?!'

'You love Maura, right?'

'Yes, but I don't see what that has to do with this.'

'If she feels the same, you're not going to keep your relationship a secret, are you?'

'No…'

'Then maybe you should give your colleagues a little preview about what's going to happen.'

Before Jane could answer, the previous song ended, the people applauded and Sharon climbed the stage. More than a little nervous, she followed her and took the red microphone since Sharon already claimed the blue one. Instead of picking a song she knew, and which she could win, she let Sharon chose. A decision she was going to regret, because a minute later, when the intro of Bring Me To Life by Evanescence started playing, she knew she had no chance.
She did the best she could, but the nerves were clearly noticeable in her voice. She was only 1000 points behind Sharon, but then the high notes came. Sharon sang them without a single problem and Jane just gave up. They both sang the song until the end and when the scores appeared on the screen, Sharon patiently looked at Jane. The detective sighed, there was no way she was getting out of it. So when the people stopped clapping, Jane put her hand on Sharon's hip and kissed her. On stage, in front of all her colleagues, in front of her mother. The audience started clapping and yelling and shouting again, and Jane quickly broke the kiss before pulling Sharon off of the stage. While making their way to the table, Jane felt everyone looking at them and when they finally reached Maura, she immediately drank her beer and took her stuff.

'Let's go.' Maura sent her a worried look, but didn't question Jane and just followed her friends out of the bar.

When they arrived at Maura's, Sharon immediately went to the guesthouse while Jane sat with Maura in the living room of the main house. The TV was off, they were just sitting, and talking.

'God, I can't believe I did that! It was never intended that everyone knew about it! Stupid bet!'

'You wanted it to be a secret?'

'Haven't you seen how they reacted? I wanted to avoid that.'

'Then, who's idea was it?'

'Who do you think?'

'Yeah, Sharon sometimes has these weird ideas… Have you seen her tattoo's yet?'

'Sharon has tattoo's?! Like, multiple?!'

'Yes, she has these little wings on her hip-bones. Two angel-wings on one side, and dragon-wings on the other. Hey, where are you going?'

'That woman has tattoo's no one knows about, I've got to see those!' Jane answered quickly before opening the door. 'Sharon! Get your ass over here!'

The door closed behind her, leaving Maura alone once again.

Thoughts?

And, to everyone, A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
