A/N: So here's another update…its a bit on the short side but I didn't want to leave folks wondering. Now I will be a bit MIA for the next couple of days due to a death in the family. Still hoping to post on Dear Maura as well…We'll see. and now? Enjoy!

Jane felt Maura when she got there. She was bristling, angry with her she knew, but she had to see this through. Granted, she should have taken today given what happened last night but…

"Thank you JJ"

JJ opened her mouth to say something and thought better of it. With an apologetic shrug of her shoulders she left Jane to Maura's ministrations.

"Maura I…"

"Don't say a word…"She raised her hand and dropped it in frustration. "What am I going to do with you? Do you even care what you're putting your body through…what you're putting me through?" She tried to keep her voice steady, but Jane heard the break in it. Maura turned away from her and took a deep steadying breath. The doctor had insisted that she take it easy and that she take the medication that was prescribed. Jane was doing neither and she could see by the hollows under her eyes and the lines of pain in her face how she was feeling. How could she keep doing this to herself?

Jane watched the set of Maura's shoulders cursed under her breath. She screwed up, big time. She pushed herself to her feet carefully and gently touched her shoulder. When she didn't pull away, she leaned her head on her shoulder. Maura's hand came to touch her hair tenderly. Turning around she forced Jane to look at her.

"You can't keep doing this Jane." She held up her ring hand where the engagement ring Jane had given glittered in the light. "You made me a promise Jane Rizzoli," hand on her chest Maura let herself feel Jane's heartbeat. "You made me a promise."

Jane grabbed Maura's hand and held it against her chest. She leaned down and kissed her softly. "I am sorry Maur, and you're right I did make you a promise. The press conference is in a few minutes. Let me see that through and…." She couldn't believe she was going to say this, "and I'll go home. I'll have Frost drive me and I won't look at anything case related until tomorrow."

Maura knew what it was costing Jane to say what she had and she did know how much Jane loved her. She had to, to even make such an offer. Knowing she would regret it, "After the press conference you will go downstairs. I'll pull out the cot we keep there and you will take a break." She kept her tone stern. She would compromise but on her terms this time.

"Yes ma'am." Jane grinned at her hoping to get a response.

She wasn't disappointed when Maura cupped her face and kissed her before smacking her lightly on the cheek.

"Next time its for real. Now come, I'll go with you, just to make sure you find your way back."

Jane couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her, as Maura took her by the elbow and walked out with her. Lord she was so whipped.

Hotch looked at his notes and grimaced. He truly hated this part of his job. Korsak had called in several favors and gotten so more information on the folks on their suspect list. So far, this Brandon Wilkins looked to be their lead suspect, but he couldn't tell the press that. He had to keep things as broad as possible, allowing his team to follow up on the information they had gotten.

He looked up as Jane came in with Maura. Shaking his head he tried not to laugh at the look on Jane's face.

"Are you alright Rizzoli?"

Jane looked at Maura before responding. "I will be."

Jane patted the seat next to her asking Maura to sit.

"I meant to ask you, what did you and Garcia talk about this morning in the coffee shop?"

"Why?"
"One of the people we're looking at works there. According to Stanley he wiped your table down when you left."

Maura squinted her eyes in thought. "The young man with dark hair?" she thought for a moment. "Penelope was worried about Jordan, so we talked a bit about that, her fears about her background. How frightened she was when she ran out of the car last night."

Realization dawned on her, "Oh my goodness, what if he's the one? Jane we talked about the case and Jordan's role and I talked about your injuries. Dammit!"

"Language, Maur" Jane smiled a little sadly. "Its okay hon, you didn't know and we're still not one hundred percent sure its him."

"You're sure." She said simply, her face pained at what this meant.

"My gut tells me this is the guy, yeah." Jane bit her lip as she considered what Maura said. If this was their guy, he now had way more information than she would have liked. Shit.

Taking Maura's hand she squeezed it tightly. "It'll be okay Maur, lets just get through this."

She nodded to the others as they came in. Smiling as Emily took the seat next to her instead of JJ.

"She scared to sit next to me?" she said nodding toward JJ.

Emily laughed, "You could say that."

"Listen," Jane spoke to her quietly and told her what Maura had just explained.

"Dammit. I don't think we're going to find him. If he's smart, he's gone underground with the information he has."

"Only if he knows we're on to him." Morgan squeezed Emily's shoulders as he listened to them. "We could still get lucky."

Jane raised her cane, "We haven't so far."

Jordan came in holding hands with Garcia, and nodded to them.

"I'd say we already did." Morgan said as he sat with them.

They watched and listened as the press conference unfolded. By the time it was done. Jane's blood pressure was through the roof again and the same reporter who had harassed her the previous night had been escorted out.

"Tell me again why we had to do that?" Jane's head was pounding in beat with her leg and she was truly wishing she had listened to Maura and either stayed home or at least taken her pain meds.

"We had to address the explosion, you know that, but it's done. Now we get to work. Track these individuals down" Hotch had been briefed on the conversation that had been overheard and both Garcia and Maura had momentarily suffered not just his wrath but Cavanaugh's.

"Morgan and JJ, I want you to follow up on this Brandon Wilkins. Go to his apartment and check it out."

"Reid, you Korsak and Rossi, follow up on the others on our list. Frost is looking into the cases that involved their relatives," looking at Jane, "Like Wilkins' father. The circumstances surrounding their deaths may play into this."

"Emily, Jane, Jordan…" they sat up expectantly. "Two hours rest, mandatory."

"Hotch," Emily said warningly.

"No! You want to be involved? Then you follow my directives. In this case none of you are effective if you're hurting so bad you can't think straight. And Jane, yours is double, this is from Cavanaugh and me. No rest and you're off this case."

Jane ground her teeth and looked at Maura who just smiled sympathetically.

"Good. Talk to Korsak before he leaves, he'll set you up on a cot or you can go to the hotel."

"Hotel" Jordan and Emily looked at each other and chuckled. The beds were softer there and it was only a few minutes away.

"Fine, I'll have Morgan drop you off."

"Jane…" Maura nudged her, she would be much more comfortable in a bed.

She sighed, "Fine…Either of you mind a bunkmate for the next two hours?" She looked at Maura practically cross-eyed. "Happy?"

A quick peck on the cheek let Jane know she was.

"That's settled then, unless something comes up, we'll meet back here at 5pm."

Brandon Wilkins gathered up his rucksack and grabbed a couple of extra items to take with him. After watching the news conference he knew that he had to at least be on their radar now. They wouldn't find him, of that he was certain. Taking one last look around to make sure he had everything, he took everything out to his jeep. It was his father's, a big old Jeep Cherokee. He loved it. Stowing his gear he went back into the house to finalize some things. If they did come looking for him they were in for a big surprise.

Yup, he's another nut…I love my lunatics. Anyway, I will be posting sooner rather than later but I'd love to know your thoughts….
