A/N: Last book (we'll see if it is by the time I'm done with it LOL) but not the last time we see our team.

Protégé Series: Dangerous Game

"And the angels proclaim, it's a dangerous game." A new serial killer likes to reenact the cases that affected each team member, emotionally and physically, and going to great lengths to make the team suffer including going after their loved ones. Will Kris, Jane and Maura stop him in time before Kris' wedding and more bodies pile up, or will they pay the ultimate price?

Nine months after "One Song Glory".

Kris' POV

RING…RING…

I felt my body being shacked and I groaned loudly, turning away. "Kris," I heard Gabriella causing me to grunt in acknowledgement. "Your phone is ringing, love," she informed me.

I opened one of my eyes groggily and turned to see my cell phone in her hand. I grabbed it from her hand, glancing at the caller ID. A curious eyebrow went up immediately as I sat up and answered, "Lieutenant?"

"Marx, I need you down at a crime scene ASAP," Cavanaugh ordered me.

Gabriella handed me my glasses as I slid out of the bed, placing them on but asked, "Sir, it's my night off and how come Communications didn't call me? If there's a crime scene-"

"Kris, just get down here immediately. Everyone else is on their way."

I let out a loud sigh then asked, "Where is it at, sir?"

"2245 Capitol Ave."

"I'll be there soon," I answered before I hanged up.

I began to get dress but being half tired, I decided that I would go to the crime scene in jeans and my pajamas with a hooded jacket. "I thought you had a day off," Gabriella stated.

I looked over at Gabriella who turned on the light on her side of the bed. "I thought so too but, when Cavanaugh calls, it's something really important," I retorted as I zipped my jacket up. I walked over to her side of the bed, glancing over her shoulder to see that it was only three in the morning. "Go back to sleep, love. You don't start shift until eight and you need the sleep," I told her.

Gabriella nodded, kissing my lips gently. "Call me when you get a chance," she asked.

"Of course."

R&I

It had been raining the last couple days and I could feel it when it's an intense storm or if it was a light one. I could feel my scars tense as well as all of my other injuries as I pulled the car up to the crime scene to see two police officers standing at the front door. I switched the engine off, placed my hood on then stepped out of the car. "Detective Marx," I heard one of the officers.

"Marx, I thought you weren't going to be in today."

"Change of plans," I retorted as I pulled out my badge from my shirt. I looked at the officer noticing that he wasn't one of the normal uniform officers I've seen. He looked sharp as he stood straighter as I walked by him. "Newbie, Peter," I asked the other officer who smirked.

"Yup. Sorry if he starts to stutter, he already gawked at Korsak and the others," he informed me.

I raised an eyebrow, "Is he okay?"

Peter nodded and answered, "He wants to be a detective, ya know? He wants to impress."

I chuckled, "I remember those days." I looked back at the officer and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ryan…Ethan Ryan, Detective."

"Just called me Marx. But, I advise you that you listen and follow everyone instructions. You impress others on how you do your job, not being a fool."

"Yes ma'am."

Ma'am, I rolled my eyes then patted the young officer's shoulder. Peter lifted up the crime scene tape, letting me slip under. I proceeded to walk in before I noticed the small group that happened to be the team. I then noticed that I wasn't the only one who seemed to be underdress especially when I saw that both Maura and Jane were wearing jeans and running shoes.

I touched Maura's shoulder. She looked over at me as I gestured to her clothes with a small smirk. She rolled her eyes and whispered, "Jane and I were called immediately saying it's an emergency."

"Nonna with Aly and Liam?"

Maura nodded then I jumped as Jane growled, "What do you mean that we are not allowed up there? We were all called by Lieutenant Cavanaugh."

I approached and touched Jane's shoulder. "Don't we have a crime scene to investigate," I inquired.

"That's what I thought but these idiots won't let us go up," Jane answered, gesturing to the officers blocking the pathway.

"We are just following orders," the officer argued.

I looked at him and asked, "Whose orders?"

"Sergeant Detective Korsak and Lieutenant Cavanaugh."

We all gave confused expressions before we heard footsteps. We all looked up to see Cavanaugh coming with a pale expression on his face. "Sir," Jane called out.

"You need to stay here, Rizzoli," he told her immediately.

Jane gave a confused expression toward all of us. "Sir, what do you mean," she questioned back.

"It means that I want only Maura, Kris, Frankie and Barry to meet up with Vince." He glanced over to see that Frost, Frankie, and I were not moving immediately. "Move it," he barked causing us to jump and proceed to go up the staircase.

I glanced over my shoulder to see the confused expression on Jane's face while Maura stood beside her for a couple moments. When we arrived onto the next floor to see two uniform officers at the last door of the hall. We walked over and Frankie pushed the door opened and called out, "Korsak?"

"In here!"

We placed the crime scene booties on our shoes and proceeded to walk around the apartment that was trashed severally. "Vince, what's going-" I stopped in mid sentence, feeling my blood run cold. I removed my glasses in pure shock, making sure that my eyes weren't messing with me. "Jesus," I mumbled.

"Kris, where are you," I heard Maura call out to me. I looked up at Korsak who had a serious expression while Frost turned away as well as Frankie who seemed to look more sick. My voice wanted to say something and prevent Maura from entering but my voice wouldn't let me. I heard Maura's feet coming toward us until I felt her hand on my shoulder.

"Jane is throwing a fit right now," Maura informed me. "She wants me to tell you and the guys to keep her in the loop." She then noticed my gaze with my brow furrowed causing her to asked, "Kris?"

I did not answer as I placed my glasses back on. I watched as Maura looked over to see a sick Frost and distant Frankie before she looked back at me. She then looked toward the direction I was looking at and immediately, I noticed her expression turn to pure anxiety.

There were two victims.

The male victim's hands and feet were tapped together with a cut along the throat with a tea cup on the ground. Maura then looked toward the ground to see a female victim with her clothes still intact but blood pooled under body for she had two scalpels in the center of both of her hands and a cut along the throat as well.

"Oh my god," Maura mumbled.

Korsak walked over, looking visibly pale and handed two evidence bags. "This was attached to both bodies," he told me. There were one of the same paper it looked like with it torn down the middle. I brought both halves over each other before I looked at Maura with a worried expression.

"Death is only the beginning,"I read aloud.

Good start? I think so. It is forming slowly but the first chapter will be up soon before I start college and all that (I hope). So REVIEW, PM, comment etc! Check out "New Adventures" please if you get a chance and I'll see you all soon my awesome readers.
