AN: May contain slight spoilers for S07E05. Just to be clear, I haven't seen the entire ep. I'm working on bits and pieces as I myself am loopy from no sleep just yet. Hello again, insomnia. Feel free to tell me what you think as I worked my way around some details. Oh. And I might decide to follow up on this one shot once I get to watch the episode with a more..."coherent" mind. Or sober. Sober is a good word. I'm rambling. Pardon.
"What are you doing here?" Korsak asks as a greeting.
"Well good morning, Korsak. I figured I needed to come in and earn my pay today, if you don't mind." Jane's usual retort often went either of two ways: deadpan or ridiculously sarcastic. This morning's delivery went for the latter.
Korsak scoffs. "I meant, aren't you supposed to be accompanying Dr. Isles this morning to the hospital?"
"Been there. Done that. She kicked me out."
"She kicked you out?!" To say the older man was shocked was an understatement.
"Yep," Jane's "p" rolling off her lips with a pop as she donned her gloves, trying to survey the crime scene and get her mind off of a certain stubborn, hard-headed, infuriating, blonde ME—
"What'd you do?"
Jane whirls around and shoots her sergeant a glare, the force of it effective enough to get the man to take a step back and with his hands up.
"What'd I do? Why's it gotta be my fault automatically?"
"I'm sorry! But…c'mon Jane. You're her best friend. It just took me aback to see you here instead of knowing that you're with her."
"Well you can thank fu—effin' Dr. Hope Martin for that." Jane mutters.
The fact that she censored herself was not lost on Jane's mentor, who hid his grin, which dropped after the name sinks in.
"She's here?"
"Oh she's not just here. She's in the hospital with Maura."
"That's why the doc kicked you out?"
Almost petulantly, Jane grunts out a "No."
"Then—"
"Look, let's just put it this way. You ever try arguing with a loopy Dr. Isles? No? Pray it stays that way. Now, can we go back to solving crimes or what?"
When Jane turns her back and walks away, Korsak knew that was that.
At least until he gets to pay the doc a visit perhaps.
