Chapter 11
I kept myself from catching Maura's eye the entire time I put a wire on her. The plan she and Kurt had come up with was suicide and I was against it 100% but it was the only way this would work. Maura had instructed Cavanaugh to keep all of our officers out of sight of the warehouse, but close enough we could respond immediately if she gave the signal. After we tapped her we would drive another block before I got out and they drove the rest of the way from that point. Then we would wait, anything could happen when she confronted her brother and her father. I finished with the wire and stepped away and took a good look at my new found friend.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" I asked her. "We could send trained men in to do this instead."
"It would be too dangerous, and you would risk Patty and Colin running and getting away," she replied. "No it has to be done this way."
"What about a bullet proof vest?" I asked.
"I'll look chunky and they'll know something is up," Maura shook her head.
"What about you Kurt?" I asked. "It wouldn't be very obvious on you and if you have to protect Maura its better off not to die immediately."
"Sorry detective, the last time I wore a Kevlar vest was when I was overseas," Kurt replied. "I need full movement otherwise Maura is shit out of luck."
"Rizzoli you ready to roll out?" Cavanaugh pushed through a group of uniformed officers to get to me, across his chest the word 'police' was spelled out on the Kevlar vest.
"Dr. Isles is set up with the wire, and they both know what they're doing, so yes we're ready," I replied.
"Alright people listen up, I'm only going to say this once and it is unacceptable to make any mistakes in this," Cavanaugh shouted to get everyone's attention. "This is how we're going to do this. Detective Rizzoli will drive both Dr. Isles and Mr. Heartly to the drop off, Rizzoli will then leave and the two will go the rest of the way to the warehouse. We will set up a perimeter around the warehouse but we will remain out of sight while Isles and Heartly talk to our targets. When they give us the signal we will move in- and only then. I want Patty and Colin Doyle alive but if you have no other choice then to use your weapon, do it. I'm leaving Rizzoli in charge of everything so you listen to her- but make no mistake I'm still calling the shots."
"What happens if they kill her before we get the signal?" a young officer asked.
"Dr. Isles and Mr. Heartly have a ten minute window to give us the signal, if we aren't given the go ahead by twelve minutes we move in. If we hear shots fired, we move in no matter what," Cavanaugh replied. "Dr. Isles has a wire on her so we can hear everything. Do not deviate from the plan."
Cavanaugh glanced over the large crowd of police officers and S.W.A.T. members as well as a few FBI agents, and then he nodded and stepped away. He gave me a thumbs up- telling me to go ahead and take Maura and Kurt to the drop off. I lead Maura and Kurt away from the large crowd of law enforcement and over to Maura's car. Kurt slid into the backseat while Maura took the passenger's seat and I took the wheel. I paid little attention as Maura pulled out a gun case from under her seat and unlocked it with a key sitting in a cup holder between her and I. Inside was what I believed was a Magnum (and a damned big one at that) and a police standard issue Glock- we'll at least she was packing, I thought. Kurt took the Magnum and shoved it into his jeans; his button up he was wearing over his t-shirt would cover it. Maura on the other hand since she was in a skirt simple slipped the Glock into her purse.
"You two sure you can handle this?" I asked them as I pulled the car to a stop.
"I'm sure with the entire Boston Police Department, S.W.A.T. and the few FBI agents here, we'll be able to manage," Maura smiled as I got out.
"I'll get her out safely, Jane," Kurt said sliding into the driver's seat.
"I just want to see both of you out of their alive," I said smiling at Maura. "We'll be in position in about two minutes, just remember the plan."
Kurt and Maura both smiled and I tapped the roof of the car right before Kurt drove off. As I started back towards the rest of the precinct the feeling of dread started to creep up on me. I may have just sent two people too their death's and I had no idea how many good cops might die trying to arrest Doyle. What the hell had I just done?"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Maura's heart was racing so fast she thought she might have a heart attack. Less than a minute ago Jane had left her and Kurt to get to the warehouse and make sure both Patty and Colin were there- it hadn't given Maura enough time to prepare herself for this. She knew that if Colin wanted her in jail and she wasn't there now he would kill her the first chance he got. Kurt opened the passenger side door and helped her out, giving her a not-so-sure smile but trying to make her feel better.
"You ready?" he asked quietly.
"No, but let's get it over with," Maura said, sighing.
Kurt nodded and allowed Maura to go ahead of him, but he followed closely with his hands at his sides and his face set like stone. Colin was afraid of Kurt and he wanted to use that to his full advantage- after all being a tall, heavily muscled ex-Marine he came off to be extremely rough and intimidating. Maura stayed her usual self, walking tall and radiating with confidence and her purse slung over her shoulder. But Kurt could still see she was nervous, she was having trouble steadying her hands and she was chewing on her lip. If she couldn't get a hold on herself they might be done before they even started and that scared Kurt.
The front door of the warehouse was always open with one of Patty's men standing nearby as security and today was no different. As Maura passed through she recognized her father's main guard immediately, and his cold gaze was what enabled Maura to stop chewing on her lip and her hands from trembling. Already she could see that the police would have their hands full taking care of all of Patty's men- one stood at the door she and Kurt came through, four or five stood above them on a metal floor either watching out the windows or down below, then around the entire first floor were another six to seven men watching their every move. It came as no surprise that each was heavily armed with a hand gun and assault rifle- but that stuck Maura as strange Patty didn't use automatics he was pretty old fashioned, she could tell something was defiantly up. Then there in the middle of the room stood both Patty and Colin- and while Patty was more relaxed Colin stood with his hands behind his back and his body extremely tense.
"I didn't know you were coming out today," Patty greeted her. "Either way I'm still glad to see you."
Kurtis had stopped a few feet away from Maura, giving her some breathing room and him perfect sight of the layout. Besides from the guards downstairs and up stairs Kurt had realized that there was a gunman or two outside on the roof but he had no way to warn Jane or the other cops. He prayed that the cops could take them out before they caused too many casualties. Kurt kept a close eye on Colin in case he made a move without warning; it was more to worry about him then Patty's goons.
"I'm actually here to talk to Colin," Maura said.
"I see, well I won't stop you," Patty said.
A smirk came across Colin's face as he stepped up to his sister, and her body guard tensed up getting ready to pounce if Colin so much as touched Maura. Colin held up his hand and smiled a Kurt.
"Easy big guy, I'm not going to touch her," Colin said. "So I take it you've figured everything out Maura?"
"It had your name written all over it," Maura replied. "And once I realized you were at J.T.'s everything just put itself together."
"No thanks to that detective of yours," Colin snarled.
"What are you talking about?" Patty asked.
"Shut up old man," Colin growled.
"Watch yourself boy, you're in my house," Patty took an angry step forward.
"Am I?" Colin raised an eyebrow and laughed at he waved someone forward.
Patty froze when he heard the click of a gun behind him, realizing he had been turned on. He risked a glance over his shoulder- his heart sank when he saw his partner Kenny behind him, holding the gun up to his head. Maura realized why the automatics had seemed off to her; the men in this room were Patty's men but Colin had gotten to them- Colin was in control here. She saw that Kurt saw it two, both of them were in a really bad situation. Colin could see the question in Patty's eyes and he was more than happy to explain.
"Goddamnit Colin what is going on?" Patty shouted.
"What does it look like dad?" Colin spat. "I'm giving Maura what she deserves."
Maura stayed silent but slowly moved her hand closer to the opening in her purse so she could pull her gun quickly if need be. Kurt now had his arms behind his back, ready to pull his gun the second things started to happen.
"She didn't do a damn thing to you," Patty's face welled with anger.
"Oh really?" Colin couldn't help but laugh. "Ever since she came back into your life she's all you've been paying attention too. It's as if I'm not even your son."
"You want to kill me because I showed up one day?" Maura couldn't help but think it was the dumbest reason for revenge.
"He gave you up Maura, he told your mother you had died. He was the one who gave you to Constance, but he didn't give me up he raised me. You are not his daughter, but because you share the same blood you decide to waltz back in here like he had raised you," Colin shouted. "He completely ignored me. What I did wasn't good enough for him- for God's sake I'm a class A hacker. All you are Maura is a thief, your no use to him- but what does it matter you're the one he chose."
"I never did that to you son," Patty tried to explain.
"That's shit and you know it pops, I'm no idiot I know when I'm not respected," Colin's face was red with anger. "So I killed those men and tried to frame Maura. But she got smart, not to mention screwing the lead detective gave her enough to get this far. Now we're here and you're about to die."
Maura hoped that the wire hadn't picked up the part about her having sex with Jane, that would complicate things to a point neither of them needed. But she only had second to think that before she was staring down the barrel of a Beretta. She heard Kurt shout and pull out his gun, and she pulled out hers but before Kurt could play hero every man down on the first floor trained their assault rifle on him. Everything remained perfectly still for the next moment.
"Don't shoot at Kurt shoot at Colin!" Patty shouted. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"Save your breath old man, they're no longer on your side," Colin said. "The men you trusted with your life turned their backs on you for a few grand. It's almost sad. No one touches Maura but me, that's an order."
Maura mumbled under her breath hoping to give Jane the signal but not knowing if she could even hear her. This was one thing Maura had not foreseen, she had walked blindly into Colin's trap and so had Patty. Behind her Kurt was grinding his teeth, unsure of what he should to and who he should take out first. His courses of action were extremely limited however and he hoped Maura had given the signal, they need the help- and soon.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
I slipped the headset off and set them down on the table- the wire had picked up Maura mumbling something but I couldn't make out if it was the signal or her just cussing. It left me to decide if we went in and risked losing both Doyle's or if we didn't go in and we risked both Maura and Kurt being killed. As I was trying to make a split decision on what we would do the decision was made for me. No more than twelve feet away was the young officer who had spoken to Cavanaugh before we had sent Maura and Kurt in- one second he was staring straight forward surveying the area- the next the back of his skull exploded outward covering anyone in the immediate area with blood, skull and brain matter.
I could hear an officer calling out shots fired and others shouting to try and find out what had just happened. But I already knew what had just happened to the young cop- a sniper. I shouted back for S.W.A.T. to take out the sniper and then took off at a full sprint towards the warehouse. Behind me Cavanaugh and Korsak were yelling at me to stop but I wasn't about to- I had to get inside as fast as possible. They seem to realize that and moved cautiously behind me as S.W.A.T. took out Patty's snipers. 60 seconds was all it took for me to from an open lot into a battle field- officers were behind me the second we entered the building and we were greeted with the gun-fire of an assault rifle. In front of me another police officer went down, I didn't know who he was but he looked like a rookie. I ignored the pit in my stomach and searched for Maura and Kurt, neither of them were in sight.
Keeping basic training on my mind I crouched behind boxes and made my way across the warehouse hoping to find Maura or Kurt somewhere- uninjured. I held my gun in front of me and kept my finger on the trigger- ready to shot anyone who wasn't law enforcement. Fifteen feet away a heavy set man lifted his rifle and took aim at me but he was to slow; I took aim and fired two shots one his him in the chest the second in his throat. He went down with his hands wrapped around his neck trying to stop the bleeding. I was almost to the middle of the warehouse and I still hadn't seen any sign of Kurt or Maura- I couldn't help but fear they were both already dead.
I reached a part in the warehouse where I saw across from me a small hallway leading back into what looked like an office but I couldn't tell. It was too dangerous to walk straight across and I realized I would have to walk all the way around, which would take too long. But before I could continue forward something heavy slammed into me and knocked me to the floor- just seconds before an entire magazine of ammo tore a wooden crate to shreds. Whatever had knock me down was now returning fire to the man with the rifle- a bullet knocked the gunman down before I was able to see who had just saved my life. When I finally rolled over I saw Kurt pushing himself off the ground, blood running down the side of his face.
"You alright Jane?" he asked offering me a hand up.
"I'm fine, thanks," I replied as he pulled me up. "Where's Maura?"
"Last time I saw her she was going after Colin," Kurt pointed into the direction I had been walking. "They went that way, probably into the back alley, Colin ordered that no one shoot Maura but he will the second he can."
"What about Patty?" I asked.
"Back in the office, he's not going to run," Kurt told me. "You need to go and find Maura now, I'll cover you. Just go."
I didn't have any time to respond before Kurt jumped over the remaining crates and grabbed another one of Patty's gunman (or rather, Colin's). For a second I watched Kurt and he got behind the man and not bothering with his gun, twisted the man's head to a point where I heard the bones break. If I wasn't somewhat intimidated by Kurt before I was now- he was one scary guy. But now wasn't the time to think about that, I had to find Maura. I remained in a crouch but I moved faster now that I knew she was still alive at least for the moment. After I got around a dozen boxes stacked high I kept going for what seemed like ever- it was like the warehouse never ended. There was no way I could find her if she was hiding and I was being quiet, so I tried something else.
"Maura!" I shouted.
I waited for a minute for a response; instead I was answered with gun fire. But I didn't give the guy a chance- the second I found him I fired three rounds at him and finally he went down and didn't get up. Then as I continued forward towards the end of the large than it should be warehouse I slammed into Maura. I couldn't tell which was worse, the fact my heart skipped about ten beats or that I almost shot her because I didn't realize it was her right away. When I did finally get that she was standing right in front of me completely uninjured I realized she was standing funny and when I looked down I saw why. The heel of her left shoe had broken off and she still had the right heel on- I almost laughed.
"What the hell happened?"
"I was chasing after Colin when my heel got stuck in a vent and broke off," she replied. "These are four hundred dollar heels."
"Well break the other one off so you don't look so stupid," I told her. "Where's Colin?"
"I think he ran into the back alley," she told me. "Where's Kurt?"
"He's taking care of himself," I replied as she jammed the heel of her other shoe into the vent and broke it off. "We need to get Colin, there's no time to wait for help."
Maura didn't argue, she just followed close behind me through a door into the back alley. It was a large alley stretching at least fifteen feet across, it was more like a large street then an alley but I wasn't going to worry about that. But Colin was nowhere in sight and there wasn't anywhere to hide except for behind a dumpster on the other side of the alley, but he didn't look to be there. Looking up I saw he wasn't on the fire escape either- which lead me to believe he had gotten away. Maura and I stood dumbly in the middle of the alley and glanced around one last time before we locked eyes.
"Where the hell is he?" I asked.
"Damn," Maura mumbled under her breath. "I can't believe I let him get away."
"It's not your fault, Colin is a snake," I told her. "He got pass all of us."
"I had him Jane, but those damned-"
Maura hadn't finished her sentence when she stumbled back and looked at me first in confusion but then pain took over. Her hands found her side and when she pulled them away they were covered in blood- her blood. I whipped my gun out which I had holstered when I thought the alley was clear and brought it around, looking for whoever had fired the shot- but no one was there. Behind me Maura was barely standing and she stared at her blood soaked hands, which now shook violently. I slammed my gun back in its holster after I took one last scan of the area.
"J-Jane…"
I spun around in time to see Maura stumble back again and fall to the ground- I jumped to catch her before she hit the pavement. She was already looking pale and her breath was becoming shallow, her blood kept spilling out of the wound. If she didn't get medical attention soon she would bleed out and die. I kept her propped up on my leg, while I held her and tried my best to help her.
"It's going to be okay, Maura." I said, even though I didn't fully believe it. "I'm not letting you die on me."
Maura tried to speak but couldn't, then only seconds later I heard clapping coming from the fire escape. When I looked up Colin was standing there, a gun tucked into his pants and an evil grin on his face. I gently moved Maura off my leg and stood up, not yet pulling my gun. Luckily Maura was still able to put pressure on her bleeding wound, while I took care of Colin.
"I take it you're Detective Jane Rizzoli?" Colin smiled as he made his way down to the ground. "Believe it or not I'm actually glad I can take you out too."
"I'll kill you before you get the chance," I growled.
"Really?" Colin laughed. "Alright, I'll bite. Go ahead Rizzoli, pull your gun."
That's exactly what I did and Colin was right there with me, whipping out his Beretta and taking aim at me. Just in time for Kurt to burst through the door, he looked worse than before- the entire left side of his shirt covered in blood and I could tell it was his own, but that didn't seem to distract Colin at all because he kept his eyes on me. Then I saw why- Kurt had gone straight to Maura, I couldn't blame him I would have too. But then I was distracted for a fraction of a second and I heard Colin's gun go off and I felt a sharp pain in my arm as the bullet hit me. Then before I realized what was going on Colin turned the gun on Maura- he squeezed the trigger, but it wasn't Maura who took the hit… it was Kurt. It didn't stop there, seconds later Colin fired another shot and once again hit Kurt. I had finally recovered from what I had thought was a gunshot wound but was truly only a graze and ran at Colin, my gun forgotten.
Colin slipped his gun back into his pants and quickly pulled out another weapon- this one and ice pick. I caught his hand as he tried to bring the pick down to stab me in the chest and we stood dead locked like that- both struggling.
"Give up Jane. Maura's as good as dead and Kurt is dying from the gunshots and the shrapnel in his body from the grenade."
I hadn't heard any explosion, how had Kurt been injured with a grenade? And how did Colin know about it?
"You're a sick bastard, just like your father," I growled.
Colin immediately ripped his hand from my grasp and brought the pick down again, this time he connected with my shoulder. I cried out in pain and fell to one knee, losing all of my strength to stand for the moment. He tore it from my flesh and came down again- somehow I managed to bring up the same arm he had just stabbed and block the pick. This time it went straight through my lower arm and I jerked away, denying him the chance to stab me again. It didn't seem to bother him; instead he pulled out his gun again and came up to me again. He stood over me and just grinned as he slammed the butt of the gun into my temple, not once but three times. I felt the warm gush of blood spill down the side of my face just as everything started to blur. I'd been pistol whipped twice in my entire career but never as brutally as this, Colin wanted to bash my skull in.
Get up Janie, get up now or you'll die and so will Maura… Just stand up goddamnit! But I couldn't feel any of my limbs, I was completely numb. Then an image of Maura being beaten by Colin as I lay here useless flashed through my head and I started to find my strength. It took me forever to get to my feet and finally catch Colin's attention. But he came right up to me holding his gun to my stomach.
"Why couldn't you just stay down?" he asked.
"Because," I replied through clenched teeth. "I told you I would kill you."
Colin didn't have time to react before I ripped the gun from his hands and turned it on him, pulling the trigger immediately. He gasped once before looking down and then falling forward- dead. I stepped back and let him fall harshly to the pavement, and then I dropped the gun and hobbled over to Maura and collapsed down next to her and Kurt. Both of them were still breathing thankfully, but both were also bleeding heavily.
"Stay with me Maura, you to Kurt."
"You don't die on us either Jane," Kurt said.
"I wouldn't worry about that," I told him. "Maura how are you hanging in there?"
"M-missed all m-major organs, through a-an-d through," she barely got out.
That's when I heard a familiar voice shouting for me- Korsak, he had found us. And by the sound of it he had a few people with him.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Patty Doyle held up his hands in surrender the second the cops piled into his office. He knew what had happened, that his own daughter had turned him in so she could start over. Patty should be furious, but he wasn't he couldn't blame her for her actions and therefore put up no fight when a man named Cavanaugh cuffed him and read him his rights.
"It's time I stopped running," was all Doyle had to say as he was lead out to a police cruiser.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
I fought Korsak as he tried to get me medical attention before Kurt and Maura, even though I was starting to fade out myself because of the trauma to my head I wouldn't go before them. Finally he relented, and Maura was lifted onto a gurney and wheeled away, and then Kurt was too, lastly I was loaded into the back of an ambulance and Korsak jumped in too, not wanting to leave my side.
"We got Patty, Janie," he said. "And Colin is dead, it's over now."
"It's not over until Maura is stable," I managed. "And you owe her an apology."
Korsak smiled and took my hand in his, like he had done when he had rescued me from Hoyt the first time. The next thing I knew I was out, finally succumbing to the huge pain in my head- probably a concussion. But my job was far from over, I had something I needed to give to Maura, I wasn't done yet.
