* Here's another update. I have been getting messageswith some really good questions about paste events, how this family came to be and I promise all of your questions witll be answered! Thanks for all the support!
At the Boston Police Department Joey walks through the doors to the station floor and looks around at the recent excitement. He was spending a nice afternoon with his daughter playing basketball when his phone started to go nuts with calls getting him back to the station due to an emergency with Da Vinci. Joey looks keeps looking around when Detective Crowe comes walking towards him.
"What is going on, I was hanging out with my kid." Joey asks as the two walk down the hallway.
"Da Vinci sent the good detectives in homicide another painting. Cavanaugh wants help from all other units, us included." Crowe says as the two walk through the station towards homicide to get to work. "Apparently Jane can't handle this one on her own, PMS or a yeast infection would be my guess."
"Hey! That's my daughter's mother you are talking about." Joey snaps at Crow slapping him in the chest before pointing at him.
Crowe rolls his eyes and tries to cover his ass. "I was just-"
"I know what you were doing…" Joey snaps as he shoves Crowe away waving him off. "Get out of here will ya, go find something. Do your job."
"Yelling at Crowe." Korsak says looking up from his desk as Joey steps over.
"Trying to get on Jane's good side Joey?" Frost jokes as he walks over to the two men.
"Something like that." Joey says placing his hands on his hips looking at the two detectives for answers. "What's happened, Da Vinci got himself another victim?"
"Not yet." Frost sighs.
Joey confused raises an eye brow at Korsak and Frost. "What do you mean not yet?"
"Korsak you wanna cover this?" Frost says to Korsak.
"A guy dropped off a package addressed to The Boston Police Department-Homicide, opened the package…another painting." Korsak informs Joey.
"Fuck." Joey groans as he bites at his lip in anger.
Frost nods his head and points at Frankie who is walking over. "Frankie saw the guy that dropped him off and tracked him down on the sidewalk heading into The Robber, brought him in."
"Great job Frankie." Joey says placing his hand on Frankie's shoulder.
"It was nothing." Frankie shrugs it off.
Joey gives Frankie a small smile before turning back to Korsak and Frost. "It's not Da Vinci though."
"Hell no, some crack head off the streets." Frost says before nodding his head back towards the interrogation room. "Jane's been grilling him in the box for an hour now."
"Poor guy." Joey jokes under his breath before looking at Frost once more. "What's the painting of?"
"Of our next victim." Frost sighs.
"Can you guys tell from the painting where the body is?" Joey asks.
"That's the thing; according to our painting…our victim is still alive." Frost says shaking his head still in disbelief.
"What?" Joey asks still really confused.
"Well Doctor Isles figured out looking at our last paintings that this guy paints the paintings and then plays out the murder." Korsak says as they walk over to the murder board and look at the other crime scene photos and copies of the paintings. "It seems that he wants us more involved in his art show so to speak."
"What?" Joey asks.
"Instead of waiting for us to find the painting…he sent it to us." Frost says as he points to a photo taken of the painting before it was taken down to the lab to be brushed for prints. "Take a look."
"Oh my God." Joey mutters under his breath as he examines the photo of a man strapped down to some sort of chair with wires coming out of it. "Is he sitting on an electric chair?"
"Yeah." Frost sighs looking at the picture. "And all we got from our victim is that he is a middle aged man of Asian descent it looks like.
"Okay, but how do we know he is still alive?" Joey asks still confused.
"According to the date, he painted he painted this painting 5 days ago." Korsak says pointing a finger to the date on the bottom of the painting.
"That's the pattern we have found in the other two paintings. He paints the picture and then 5 days later, kills the person." Frost adds.
"So our guy is out of time." Frankie concludes looking at the seasoned detectives.
Korsak shakes his head and glances up at the clock on the wall. "He has till about midnight tonight."
"How can you tell that?" Joey asks.
"Outside the window in the painting its night and the moon is at ¾." Frost says examining the painting with the others once again. "It only looks like that at dusk."
"So he's toying with us." Joey concludes annoyed and aggravated.
Korsak nods his head and scoffs in disgust. "He wants us to go on a wild goose chase trying to find our victim."
Soon the three men's attention is brought the interrogation room where the door is slammed open and a pissed off Jane Rizzoli walks out. "Fuck!"
"Has she taken a break?" Joey asks.
"Not since this morning." Frankie answers.
Joey rolls his eyes and looks around for Jane's better half. "Where's Maura?"
"She's down in the morgue looking over every little note, seeing if she's missed something." Frost answers.
"Those two women drive me nuts…and I'm not even married to either one of them." Joey groans as Jane comes stomping over to the group.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Jane exclaims frustrated as she kicks her foot at Korsak's desk.
"We are all screwed." Frankie mumbles under his breath seeing the fury in Jane's eyes.
Korsak rolls his eyes at Frankie before turning to his ex-partner. "I'm guessing you didn't get anything we can use."
"The guy says that the painting was on his doorstep this morning with a note saying that he'd get a thousand bucks in the mail if he delivered it." Jane says as she runs her hands through her hair trying to calm herself down. "That's his story; I'm getting nothing else from him. He is as high as a kite and the station shrink has been trying to sober him up, but no luck so far."
"But he's not Da Vinci." Joey says.
"No way in hell." Jane says shaking her head.
"Fuck." Joey snaps.
"For once we agree." Jane says to Joey before turning to Korsak, Frost, and Frankie. "What's our move now?"
"Korsak did you get anything from Drake Nash's or Maria Anderson's family?" Frost asks.
"Nothing, just like the rest of them. These people are good honest people, with no enemies, no deep dark secrets, nothing." Korsak says.
"Well our 11th victim is running out of time." Jane says looking over at the painting. "Our unknown 11th victim."
Just then a Japanese woman in her late twenties comes barreling into the station in a panic looking for help. "Help! Help! My father is missing!"
"Jane, Korsak." Frost says pointing at the woman.
"I need help, somebody has to help me." The woman cries out as the detectives rush over to her.
"What's wrong Mam?" Joey asks.
"My father's been kidnapped! Please you have to help me." The woman pleads.
"Okay Ms. what is your name and your father's name, and how do you know your father's been kidnapped?" Korsak asks as Jane studies the woman before her getting a read on her.
"My name is Aiko Takei, my father's name is Koto Takei." The woman says as tears escape her eyes and she starts to panic once again. "I was in a meeting at work and had my phone turned on silent. When I got out I checked my voicemail and heard this."
"We were supposed to have dinner tonight; please you have to find my Dad!" Aiko begs the detectives.
Jane studies the woman before looking at the photo of the painting in her hand. "Ms. Takei does your father have short black hair with a tint of white."
"Yes, yes he does." Aiko says nodding her head.
Jane looks up at the woman before studying the painting seeing something displayed on the man's sweater. "Does your father own a pin with the initials ST?"
"Yes, um a green pin with white lettering. ST stands for Shing Takei my mother; she died of cancer 5 years ago. My father wears it in her honor, never takes it off." Aiko cries.
"Do you know where your father was calling from?" Jane asks.
"His home." Aiko says swallowing the lump in her throat before remembering what happened before. "He was going to get some stuff done around the house before dinner."
"We're going to need his address." Korsak tells the young woman.
"Of course ahh…it's 10775 Dixon Avenue, three houses down from O'Grant's Fruit and Vegetable Market." Aiko informs them.
Jane gives the woman a comforting smile before grabbing Frost's arm to leave. "Let's go Frost."
"Come on Ms. Takei, why don't we go take a seat over there." Korsak says as he gently guides the woman over to his spare chair at his desk.
"Okay." Aiko says still shaken up and in a state of shock.
"I'm going with you." Joey says as he follows Frost and Korsak with Frankie behind him.
"Me too." Frankie adds.
Jane shakes her head at her little brother. "Stay with Korsak, call us if you get anything new from Ms. Takei."
"Got it." Frankie gives in to orders as he turns to walk back to Korsak.
"Tell Maura what's going on." Jane says to her brother as the three get in the elevator.
"Will do." Frankie says as he watches the elevator doors close.
At Southie high school Tyler walks out of the school and looks at the courtyard for his friends Kory and Becca. He looks around but eventually sees the two of them sitting on top of a picnic table. He rushes over and stops in front of the table a little out of breath.
"Guys guess what I have great news!" Tyler says excited before he realizes what Becca and Kory are currently doing. He studies his two friends sitting on top of one of the school's outside picnic tables with a pineapple in between them. "What are you two doing?"
"Eating pineapple." Becca says like it's no big deal as she takes another bite from her slice and Kory nods her head next to her.
"Wow you two get cooler and cooler." Tyler says sarcastically.
Kory snorts in her pineapple before raising an eyebrow at Tyler. "This coming from the guy who is probably sporting his Green Lantern boxers."
Tyler opens his mouth to say something to Kory but Becca laughing cuts in instead. "What's the great news Tyler?"
"Jet Portelli is throwing a party tonight." Tyler says beaming as Becca and Kory look at each other trying to figure out what the big deal is about that.
"Hello party!" Tyler sings.
"It's a school night Door Knob there is no way our parents are going to let us go to a party." Becca says.
"So we won't tell them." Tyler says.
"All three of my parents would skin and fillet me if I did that." Kory says before taking another bite of pineapple."Not to mention my grandmother who would then broil me and boil me."
"Do you have a craving for fish or something?" Becca asks Kory after hearing the references.
Kory looks at Becca and nods her head. "Now that you mention it I have been craving salmon lately…I don't even like salmon but my mom loves to make it especially when my grandparents come to visit from France."
"Guys can we focus please!" Tyler snaps getting frustrated. "This party is going to be killer!"
"Jet Portelli is a moron Ty!" Kory says laughing just thinking about the kid who got his head stuck in his banister at home…at the age of 14. "All of his parties get busted and I am not risking my spot on the basketball team for his warm beer keg and collection of illegal firecrackers."
"But I love warm beer and fire crackers." Tyler whines defeated.
"And now with the whining." Becca says as she shakes her head annoyed. "We're out...but you can go if ya want."
"Nah." Tyler gives in as he takes a seat next to Kory on the picnic table. "Pineapple me."
"You could at least buy me dinner first." Kory jokes as she hands her best friend a slice of pineapple.
"Very funny." Tyler sulks as he pitifully bites into his pineapple causing Kory and Becca to both laugh.
Frost pulls up to the address Ms. Takei gave him and then the three detectives hop out of the car and start towards the house with their guns drawn. They walk up the stairs and Frost tries to open the front door but can't. "The doors locked."
"I think we got the Takei Family's permission." Joey says to Frost before kicking the door down with his foot.
"Boston PD!" Jane sings out as she charges in with her gun drawn.
"Boston PD!" Joey and Frost both say after as they got her back into the house with their own service weapons drawn. Frost goes upstairs while Joey checks the back rooms.
Jane walks in and looks around but doesn't see anything or anyone. "Nothing."
"All clear!" Frost calls down as he walks back down the stairs after checking the upstairs.
"All clear over here too!" Joey calls out as he walks towards Jane in the living room.
"Look here in the living room." Jane says her eyes examining the flower pot on the floor crashed and the throw pillows throws every which way. "Signs of a struggle."
"I'll get forensics down here do a sweep for fingerprints and other traces." Frost says as he looks around before whipping out his cell phone to call it in.
"Good." Jane says nodding her head as she continues to look for clues on their missing Vic's whereabouts.
Joey looks around too before turning to Jane. "So what do we got here?"
"Mr. Takei was on the phone leaving a message for his daughter, the struggle is in the living room going towards the back door." Jane says coming up with a possible scenario due to the facts at hand.
"So Takei is in the living room talking on the phone facing this way…" Joey says out loud trying to figure it out. "When Da Vinci comes sneaking up behind him and what."
"Something that would give him the time to yell into the phone and we didn't hear a thump of any kind…so I'm gonna say Da Vinci came up behind him and strangled him from behind causing him to drop his phone onto the ground." Jane says as she looks at the path before her eyes glance down at the ground where she sees the phone. "There."
"Looks like Da Vinci stomped on it…there is a shoe print." Joey says bending down to get a better look.
Jane takes a look for herself before turning to Frost calling out to him. "Frost!"
"Forensics is on their way." Frost says as he walks over and sees the phone the floor by Joey. "So we got a crushed phone and no Koto Takei."
"Let's canvas the neighborhood see if anybody saw anything or has seen anybody suspicious, yeah." Jane says to the two men.
"Yeah." Frost and Joey both agree as they follow Jane out of the house.
