JANE
I'd never seen Maura run so fast, especially in heels.
"You were right..." I whispered.
"About what?" She sat beside me.
"I can't handle it Maura." I pushed my hair away from my face. Tear drops stained the ground, making it look like it was storming. We were silent for a few minutes, I slid my hand into Maura's. She tightly gripped it, and rubbed my back with her other hand. I looked into her eyes, then let my head fall on her shoulder.
"I should've listened."
"Yes, you should have." I giggled at her inappropriate response.
"Really Maura? You're the worst when it comes to comforting words." Her face showed a look of concern.
"I- Did I say something wrong again?" I went into a laughing fit,
"Yes. But it was cute, and made me laugh." She began to laugh with me. I stood up, and reached my hand out, she took my hand, and I pulled her up. I walked into the station with her following behind me, Korsak was rummaging through paperwork. Frankie looked at me, his nose still bleeding.
"Frankie, I'm sorry I made your nose bleed. I didn't mean it."
He nodded, and he wrapped his arms around me. "It's alright, Janie."
Maura motioned me over to her and I followed her to the car. I looked at her and she gave me a sweet smile, and I smiled back and took her hand. An instant later, I felt a hard pound on the back of my head and fell to the ground. The last thing I could remember was Maura screaming my name.
I woke to Korsak kneeling beside me with an EMT beside him. I jolted my upper body up,
"Where is Maura?! Oh my God Vince, where is she?" I jumped to my feet and screamed her name.
"Jane, they took her."
"Who took her? What the hell is happening? Vince!" He closed his eyes and sighed.
"We don't know anything..." I felt my legs go numb, and I my knees slammed onto the concrete, I could hear myself crying hysterically and occasionally yelling Maura, but nothing else. In that moment, my world came to a halt.
