"What do you mean you mean new partner?" Jane screamed, pacing back and forth in Cavanaugh's office.

"Calm down Jane" Cavanaugh sighed gripping his temples. "The doc thinks it'll be better for both of you to split up for sometime, get out of each others heads. Frankly, I agree."

"Thank you so much for THAT opinion!" Jane yelled back furious. "What the fuck? You get one opinion and you just roll the fuck over?" Jane couldn't comprehend what was happening. One moment they're close to breaking a lead on whatever the fuck was after Maura, and the next she gets pulled into the commander's office and is sidelined with the news that she is getting a new partner. " Isthis about what happened? I followed my gut and I was right, he was there."

"Jane…" he sighed.

"Look, this is a good thing for both of you." Rebecca piped in from the corner of the office, in her anger Jane had entirely forgotten she was even there. Jane tried to take a deep breath to calm herself down. "Korsak gets a promotion, and you get to train someone new." She eyed Jane cooley, a sly smile spread across her lips. "Let some of your skill rub off...on someone else."

"Oh come on? Really?" She pointed at Rebecca, "THIS? This is the opinion you're taking? What did you tell Vince?"

"Detective Korsak will know whatever you wish for us to tell him." Rebecca added eyeing Cavanaugh.

"I was thinking it was time he had a promotion, he's been wanting to take the Sergeants exam. Its not that you two can't work together Jane, but you've been reckless lately, maybe some fresh blood will help keep you in line." He stopped for a moment, "Keep you alive for fucks sake." He looked worn down and exhausted. Jane knew she had pushed the department to its limits by investigating the abandoned building on her own, but they had gotten some evidence and she knew that it was worth it.

"I've done extensive research Jane. Talked to everyone, you might say we are just expressing popular opinion." Rebecca finished, letting her hand slide down her legs as she raised her shoulders in what should be a cute quip, but only further caused her to become enraged.

"Jane, we all agree this is for the best." he sighed, knowing that nothing would calm her down.

"Extensive research?" Jane rolled her eyes at the statement. "And we? We? Who the fuck is WE!" she screamed. It took her a full minute to realize whom else he was referring to. Jane exploded again with rage, "FUCK!"

"Yes Jane," I spoke to everyone" Rebecca quipped pausing, "even…your best friend….Dr. Isles" she paused letting the end of the statement hang in the air. "She was quiet on board with this, was very persuasive."

She knew what this was about, and it wasn't about Jane and Korsak being partners; it was about her and Rebecca. She moved quickly towards Rebecca, in her peripheral she felt more than saw Cavanaugh stand up at the suddenness of her movement. Rebecca for her part did not so much as flinch as she stormed up, hands in fists, furry written all over her face. "You have no idea what you're doing here."

Rebecca eyed her coolly, relaxed despite the menace that was threatening, "I assure you Detective, I know exactly what I am doing. And this is for the best, for the department, for Korsak, and for you. Your safety is at the top of my priorities."

"And Maura, she agrees with you?" Jane asked, an ache forming in her soul at the realization she was being outgunned.

The commander gave her a guilty look that confirmed her suspicions. Before he had a chance to say anything, Jane was already heading out the door. He called after her, but she couldn't hear him. She headed straight for the elevator hardly waiting for the doors to open as she reached the basement. Maura leaned over a table finishing what appeared to be paperwork.

Jane didn't say anything, afraid to prove her suspicions correct. Maura glanced up at the sound of Jane, smiling broadly at her presence. How did she always know she was here? "What? You got some spidey sense I don't know about?" Jane found it hard to stay angry when Maura turned her smile on. Maura was about to answer when Jane held her hand up stopping her, "Did you know about this?" she asked pointedly, crossing her arms across her chest. It was more for strength and protection over Maura's usual charms, than a definitive statement. Don't look at her Jane; it's easier to stay mad if you don't look at her she told herself.

"Know about what?" ooh, she is good Jane thought, giving Maura her patented death glare causing Maura to blanch at the look. "I...I..." Maura's mouth opened and closed not producing any sounds.

"Korsak and I. You knew and you didn't say anything? How could you Maura?" Jane started pacing her lab, her rage growing with each step.

"What? Oh, well…When she asked me what I thought, I couldn't lie Jane. She made a good point, I had no choice but to agree." Maura's face started to flush as she tried her best to explain.

Jane stopped misstep, still not looking at her. "You what? You...you agreed with her? What do you mean you agreed with her?"

"She asked me what I thought was best for you. I just want to keep you safe. You seemed…distracted lately." Maura shrugged, her expression almost blank except for the confused look in her eyes.

"I've been distracted because of YOU!" Jane burst out, immediately regretting it. There was no positive way for Maura to take her statement, it was either because of her being a victim, or it was because Jane couldn't stop thinking about her. Fantasizing about every inch of her body. Jane's heart hurt, she felt she was losing her mind at the confusing tumble of thoughts screaming in her mind.

"Oh" Jane didn't need to look to know that she had hurt Maura, but in her current state of rage, she tried her best not to care. Maura tried to continue "and after what just happened, I…"

"She asked you, and you agreed." The statement lay flat, it felt wrong coming out of her mouth. How could Maura betray her like that? Jane felt the fury growing, "since when does everyone know what's best for me? I…I thought we were friends Maur." She felt tears stinging her eyes; she refused to let anyone see her like this. Refused to let down her guard, this is what happens when you let someone in, they betray you.

"Jane, please. Let me explain." Maura reached out trying to force Jane to stand still.

"Explain what?" Jane could hardly breath, she felt her chest tighten. "That you, my best friend, agreed to split me and Korsak up. My partner. The person whose life I put in his hands every day."

"Korsak and I" Maura responded meekly. Jane knew she couldn't help herself, but even that was too much for her. She needed to leave, escape. Her world was crashing around her, and she had no control over it. "Jane, I didn't mean…it wasn't my…Look" Maura took a deep breath, "I had no idea she was even thinking of recommending this."

"What the fuck Maura?" Jane tried her best to breath. "This is so fucked up…"

"Jane, I don't understand, what do you mean?" Maura looked confused, trying her best to follow her ramblings.

"What I mean, is that Rebecca is doing this out of spite! Because of me and you!" She spit out, letting the anger consume her again. She knew she was saying too much, but she didn't care.

"Jane…" Maura stopped, trying her best to follow along "I…"

"What's worst is Korsak. He has no idea." Jane paused thinking about her partner, "He's not going to know why. And it has nothing to do with our ability to work together." Jane rubbed her hands together absentmindedly. "You didn't just betray me, you betrayed him as well."
