"So his girlfriend is here now, and wont stop crying so we got nothing from her?" Jane summarized both Frost and Korsak's work.
"That's right. How bout you go in. You are a girl, maybe she will tell you things." Korsak said.
Jane looked to him. "Really? Because I am a girl? You couldn't at least pretend it was my interrogation skills?" Jane jokingly asked.
Frost rapidly thought. "Well, she could have, but your lie detecting skills are so good, you would have been able to tell." Frost said.
"Fine, whatever. I'll go in. But you you think she is hiding something?" Jane asked to ready herself.
"You know, She barely talked, but she seemed upset.. we just don't know why." Korsak said.
"Gee, maybe because her boyfriend died?" Jane sarcastically said walking off to the interrogation room. Once she got there, there was, evidently a woman that was bawling. Jane felt sad for her, but was determined to solve the murder.
Jane went over the basics and when she got no response. The woman, Sara finally stopped crying only when Jane sat there in front of her and pleaded for help with solving Josh's murder. She and Sara spoke back and fourth and eventually Jane was able to paint a small picture in her head, opening up a list of more people that Josh would have interacted with the past week, when he was killed according to Maura's findings.
"Okay, Sarah, so there are four people that her worked with closely at the Circus Academy. Lindy Herero, Abigail Whitman and Jason Sirrka. And His brother works wit him as well?" Jane was ready to conclude. After an hour interrogation, she was positive this girl could not commit a murder.
"Yes, Detective, those are all of the people. Thank you so much for the help!" Sara thanked.
"No thanks necessary, it is my job." Jane said, leaving. She got a text that Maura found something. She told Korsak and Frost then headed down towards the morgue. Jane peered into the window and saw Maura reading a lab result.
"Hey my inamorata, So-" Maura said as Jane stopped her.
"Whoa, whoa whoa whoa, stop right there. Your what?" Jane asked curiously.
"Inamorata. Italian for female lover. I keep telling you, I am going to keep trying with different names until I find the right one. I still don't know what to call you." Maura said looking up.
"How about my name" Jane responded.
"You know what I mean. You call me things like 'babe' 'honey' 'darling' and 'sweetie' I want to find a name that suits you." Maura said seriously.
"You know, you are just way to cute, you need to stop it before I turn into a marshmallow. We are at work, Maur." Jane said.
"Right, work. I am 100% positive that Josh Crammer was strangled by the silks he was found in on Wednesday night. I found DNA on the silks he was found in. Three different females. That is all I can tell you unless you can give me samples to match." Maura stated.
"Okay, well, that rules out his brother, and Jason.." Jane thought aloud. "Thanks Maur. I'll see what cam be done today. We only have like two hours left until we get off work. I gotta got now. Love you." Jane said, then hugging Maura and going up stairs.
"I'll see you later, love you, Jane." Maura got in before Jane was out of earshot. Jane arrived to the bullpen, explained everything and then she got addresses. She and Frost left separately to go find Abigail Whitman and Lindy Herero and question them.
Jane showed up at the address found for Lindy, no one was there but her roommate, who said she was at the Circus Academy training. Jane thanked her and then headed for the Circus Academy. She parked, got out of the car and entered, only to see Frost, already there, with two women. She walked up to the three of them and said, "Lindy and Abigail?"
Frost and both women nodded. "Look, Detectives, we would really like to help you find who did this to Josh, but we have a performance tonight and we have been practicing for it for the past year." Lindy pleaded.
"I never said anything about Josh being hurt. How did you know?" Frost asked suspiciously.
"Oh, they are both coming with us, right now." Jane did not even think twice.
"I really can't go right now, ma'am! Josh is going to still be dead tomorrow!" Lindy yelled.
Jane laughed at the stupidity. "None of us said anything about Josh Crammer being dead but you. That means you know something. And I the longer me and Detective Frost wait, the longer we could be letting a murder be free in the world. Come on. Now." The two women silenced and cooperated until they got to the BPD. There was an hour left until Jane was off, and she could not wait. Only, she was sure she had a lead.
Her and Frost and Korsak worked for the next hour, and then it came down to Lindy. Everyone was trying, and no one could get what she was hiding. Everyone could tell she was hiding something, and they were about to call it quits for the day. Jane watched as Breckner and Korsak questioned her. Her phone buzzed and she opened the text from Maura. Hey Love. (did you like that one?) It's time to go! I am going to be waiting down here in my office... I hope to see you soon. Less than sign, three -Maura. Jane felt bad about being late again, but had no choice if she wanted to get things done. She texted back, Hi Honey- I actually like that one. Can't wait to hear you say it to me. We got a girl here that wont talk. I think I will be a bit late again. I am so sorry but.. it is my job. I love you though, and will come down as soon as possible. 3 Jane.
Jane got up and entered the room. Jane looked to Lindy and said, "Hey, look. Your best friend, Sara is suffering because she just lost her boyfriend, and you can help us relieve her of that pain if you just work with us."
Lindy paused, and thought. "You would not get it. You wouldn't understand." She said sighing.
"Try me." Jane stated.
"Well, first... Sara is my best friend. She would not do this, I know her enough to know that. I mean, she killed a fly on accident the other day and cried." Lindy said.
"I know someone like that... She get's scared of being in trouble over nothing." Jane said.
"YES. All the time." Lindy said. Jane observed the woman talk about Sara and it reminded her of herself six months back.
"Okay, so Sara. You and her?" Jane proceeded.
"Friends. Good Friends." Lindy said, now paying closer attention to Jane.
"Friends? Okay. How did you feel about Josh and Sara dating?" Jane asked.
"Well, she loved him, and I respect that. We are friends, so I guess have to like him, right?" Lindy said.
Jane was already speculating about what might of happened. She thought she might sway towards her assumptions. "You are right, but sometimes that 'best friend' is a little more special than just a friend, right? I mean I am only speaking from experience here."
"Are you saying that Sara and I have a thing together? NO. " Lindy became worried.
"Okay, listen, Detectives Frost, Breckner and Korsak are going to take over for me now and-" Jane explained.
"Please... you stay? They don't get it." Lindy pleaded to Jane.
God, I can't be late to Maura again. That is just not fair. But there is this girl.. well woman here that is pleading that I stay. I can't let Maura down again. I promised I would not ever treat her badly. "Well, Lindy, do you think you could come back tomorrow then? If not, we will find you. It is just convenient." Jane asked.
"Yeah," the woman smiled, "that is fine. Thanks Detective " She said. Jane smiled and left, leaving the rest of the team to finish up for the day.
Jane headed straight down to the morgue, and barged right in to see Maura balled up on the couch reading. "Are you still reading your Potato book, babe?" She said, placing a kiss on Maura's forehead.
"Yes, I am. I am almost done, love." Maura said, sounding upset.
"Look, Maura before you get mad at me, I know that I have been unfair lately, by being late a lot, but I really am making sure I am doing my job." Jane tried.
"Kind of like when you shot my father?" Maura said, uncurling and resting her feet on Jane's lap.
Jane began stroke her feet as she said, "Okay so I deserved that one." Maura sat up and then leaned into Jane who put her arm around her. "I swear that I would do anything for you."
"I know, love, I know. It is just sometimes I miss you... and I would never pull you away from your job. You love it more than you love me. It would be unfair." Maura said half jokingly.
"I do not love my job more than you. Stop it, right there. I just get too caught up sometimes." Jane said, intertwining her fingers with Maura's.
"I am sure you do, Jane I was using a hyperbole. And right now, I really want to get to our home, and be in your arms, just spending time together. Not than we don't do enough of that all day." Maura said, getting up. Jane did as well, putting on her coat, and taking Maura's bag.
"I think that that is a perfect plan, baby." Jane said, then stole another kiss from Maura's lips. The two women walked out, saying goodbye to everyone still there. Meanwhile their fingers had somehow locked together. Somehow fitting together perfectly.
Few things, as follows:
1/ More or less direct Rizzles?
2/ Should there be drama between the two?
3/ Were there any terrible grammar mistakes?
4/ Please review with the feedback and such
