If Korsak had known he would be driving back and too from his cabin to Boston everyday he would not have suggested it. He wouldn't usually mind but he hated leaving Frost on his own to work on the case. He also didn't really want to see Jane; he knew the way that would seem if he did mention it to Frost. It was just she wasn't Jane, the Jane he knew and had been partnered with for years. He wanted to be there for her but he just found it too difficult.
He finally pulled up at his cabin; he couldn't see any sign of anyone. He grabbed the files Dr Isles requested and made his way in. on first glance he couldn't see anyone so called out for Dr Isles there was no answer. He started to look round and nearly had a heart attack when Jane suddenly popped up from her hidden position on the sofa, "Korsak, hi. Maura isn't here she went to the store, can I help you with anything". She went to get up but Korsak could she was in pain, "Jane don't get up its fine I was just dropping off these files for her. I have to get back to Boston right away". He motioned to the door and started to edge towards it. Jane didn't listen to him and got up anyway; using the back of the sofa and then the kitchen counter for support she made her way towards him, "wait Korsak, could you do something for me before you go?" Jane smiled a very uncharacteristic smile and looked on expectantly. "Erm okay sure" he was nervous but couldn't exactly say no. Jane continued "can you just tell me something about our history, I am trying really hard to remember and you know everything helps". Korsak thought for a moment then smiled he knew exactly the story he was going to tell.
Well that was informative; Jane had just stopped laughing, it hurt but it was worth it. She watched Korsak leave and then turned her attention to the pile of papers he had brought. She thumbed through the first couple of papers, from what she could gather they were medical articles about traumatic amnesia. Then she got to some police folders, she looked through the first couple. She knew she was a homicide detective but she didn't understand how she could do this day in day out. Some of the cases were awful, she felt sick but she still had no feelings of familiarity when looking through the case files.
She was giving up hope until she opened the very bottom file. She suddenly felt angry and scared but she could not remember why. Then she found something, a photo of her. She looked vulnerable and helpless; Jane couldn't stand even looking at it. This case evoked certain emotions but still no memories. She picked up the file and was about to sit back down on the couch when another photo fell out, she struggled to bend down and pick it up. She stood slowly and looked at the photo, it was a man. This time she felt something different, something trying to scratch the surface. Then it hit her, his name was Charles Hoyt. He did that to her. Torrents of information and memories came flooding back but it was what she expected. She only remembered things involving him, she had no memory of Maura or her life; just him. She had to get out of here; she had to get some air. She slipped on her shoes and walked out of the cabin.
Maura had been as quick as she could. Korsak didn't exactly keep a lot of things at the cabin when he wasn't there so it was pretty uninhabitable. She had picked up some of Jane's favourite foods; she knew memories could be triggered by sensory stimuli. She put the bags down on the counter and went in search of Jane. She wasn't on the couch where she left her or the bedroom or bathroom. She was starting to worry and then she saw it. Korsak must have been here, there was an open file on the counter she knew instantly which one it was. She should have specified more accurately what Korsak should bring. She took another look around and noticed Jane's shoes were gone and estimated that in her current condition there's no way she could get very far.
She changed her shoes to something a bit more appropriate and headed out the back door. She decided to follow the path towards the beach; she reached the sand and finally saw a sign of Jane. There were footprints in the sand, she followed them and finally saw Jane sat on a dune. She surveyed her from a distance, she looked deep in thought; her expression wasn't revealing anything.
She approached her and sat down in the sand, Jane didn't look at her for a moment instead she spoke first. "I remember him" Jane lifted a photo and Maura saw it was Hoyt, she went to answer but Jane continued, "I remember him but nothing else, no one else" Jane was clearly frustrated. Maura spoke after a moment, "it is good that you can remember though, I know it's hard but the fact you remember this shows you can remember is great" Maura put her arm around Jane, who rested her head on her shoulder. Maura realised she no longer felt odd when Jane came in contact with her, she wasn't ready to analyse what that meant yet. Jane was quiet so Maura carried on.
"Why don't we go back into the house, I bought food that you like" Jane sighed and went to get up but she withdrew when she felt pain. Maura jumped up and held her arms out to support Jane. She lifted her up and wrapped her arm around Jane's waist to help her walk. They made their way slowly back to the house.
"Can you go over the files with me again, give me your version of events?" Jane broke the silence.
so I am not happy with this one either but I have exams at the minute, when they are done with I promise explosions.
"Of course Jane, I have some ideas to try to help with your memory" Maura held Jane tighter.
"Can I just ask you something? It's kind of personal but it might help if I know the answer" Jane nearly mumbled towards the end. Maura just nodded, slightly apprehensive. "Is there anything I should know about our relationship? I just get this feeling that there is more to this than friendship" Jane gestured between. Maura nearly stopped walking; she was taken aback by Jane's question. How was she meant to answer that? Of course there was something more than friendship in this relationship but Maura always thought it was just her. Maura's thoughts were interrupted by Jane, "you don't have to answer, I was just curious" they had reached the house and Maura was still shocked into silence she helped her to the couch and then left the room. The possibility that Jane could feel the same way as Maura changed everything, the odd feeling Maura had when she came in contact with Jane had transformed into an odd feeling when she wasn't in contact with her.
Please review :)
