You all are really the best readers a girl could ask for! I'm honored at the attention and positive reviews this story has gotten so far and I truly hope I don't disappoint. I hope we can all keep this going until the end! I know I wouldn't be able to write without your support, so thank you!


The only thing Frost and Jane had obtained from going to 'Merch' was to find out that it indeed was a lesbian bar, and that there was some narrow-minded, bigoted organization with a vendetta against the LGBT community. They'd managed to question the bar owner and bouncer, all to no avail. It wasn't until they returned to the bullpen and Frost got to work on the victim's iPad that something came up.

"Well she might've been married, but according to her search history, she wasn't happily married…" Frost stated as he started going through pages of history.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, just look at her browsing history; over half of these are dating websites. It seems like our vic was having more than one extramarital affair."

"Can you get into her profiles or e-mail? Maybe that can give us a clue as to who she was seeing and where they were meeting up…" Jane said, wheels turning.

"Yeah, it seems like she made dates with several women, all of whom she met at Merch."

The detectives were deep in thought when Korsak interrupted their thinking.

"You know, they kinda resemble one another…"

"Huh?" Jane said, confused.

"You and the victim… you look like one another. Don't tell me you don't see it."

"You know, Korsak is right, Jane. You do kinda look alike."

Jane looked at the photo of the victim staring back at her. They were both tall brunettes with similar skin tone and build. Still, she didn't like where this was going.

"No, I don't think so. Don't even go there."

"Jane, come on, be reasonable…" Frost began.

"No, no, NO! I will not have you throw me into a lesbian circle in hopes of catching a killer, no!"

"All you'd have to do is meet some of them at Merch for a drink, that's all!"

"That's all? That's all? Do you know how many different ways that can screw me over? One, I don't even see how we could possibly gain information from a drink and two: Maura would flip if she found out!"

"Found out what?" Maura asked as she walked into the bullpen. Silence came over the detectives. "I clearly walked in at the wrong time. Does someone want to tell me what's going on?"

Frost sent up a prayer, shielded himself from both women, and made his point.

"We're going over the victim's iPad information. Turns out she's been having multiple extramarital affairs. Korsak mentioned the fact that both she and Jane looked alike, and I thought some undercover work wouldn't be so bad… it'd help us track the killer down, or at least that's what I'm hoping."

"How exactly do you want to go about doing that, detective?" Maura asked, genuinely curious.

"Well, we could put up a profile on these sites with Jane's photo, have the details of the profile be the same as that of the victim so it would attract the same people. They could meet up at Merch for a drink and then we could test the glasses for DNA comparison against the DNA we already have."

Maura could hear a pin drop with the silence that surrounded her as she processed the information Frost had given her. All in all she knew it was a good idea. She looked over at Jane and saw that she was teetering on the edge of desperation, the need to know what Maura was thinking plainly visible in her features.

"What do you think about the plan, Jane?" Maura asked her, putting Jane on the spot.

"Well, I think you already heard the last part of my argument." Jane stated.

"Let's say that I didn't have a problem and I didn't 'flip' as you said I would. What would you say then?"

"I'd wonder if that was a trick question. I still don't feel comfortable doing it. I've done undercover before, but going into a lesbian bar and trolling for dates isn't exactly my idea of a good time."

"Well this isn't about having a good time, it's about work." Maura stated.

"You're seriously telling me you wouldn't have a problem with me doing this?" Jane asked, incredulously.

"I'm saying that I understand the reasoning behind Frost's argument, and that I know it'd be for work. I'll even join you."

"Wait, what? No Maura, I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, have you even done undercover work before?"

"Well no, I haven't. But answer me this: is there anyone on your team, another female, that knows how to properly collect and preserve DNA?"

Jane thought for a split second. "No, there isn't anyone else. That still doesn't mean I think it's a good idea."

"Come on Jane, it's just a bar, filled with lesbians… what's the worst that can happen?" Frost said much to Korsak's amusement.

"You two shut it! I don't recall asking for either of your opinions." Jane was getting visibly worked up.

"Jane, if the problem is that you think I'll be upset about this, then don't worry. This is for work, and I understand that. This is perfectly ok. You know I am incapable of lying, so you know it's the truth."

Jane thought about it for a few more minutes.

"Alright, you win. Maura and I are going in. Who would've thought our first case together would involve an undercover operation at a lesbian bar…"


I know I've made some changes to character dialogue and it isn't verbatim from the episode; that was my point. Because all of you are so awesome and make a girl happy with your reviews, I've already begun part 2 of this chapter and may be able to post it before the end of today! I'll try my best=)
