This is a slightly shorter chapter than I normally post, but it had a natural break so I figured I'd go for it and I figured I wouldn't wait a whole 24 hours to post so here is the next update for you all. Now remember, reviews make my fingers fly across the keyboard as well as inspiring to write better chapters for you, so please take a moment after you read to click the review button and give me your thoughts.

And, because I haven't done this in a while-These characters do not belong to me, darn, darn, darn! They belong to Tess Gerritsen and Janet Tamaro and the wonderfully talented folks at TNT

Agent Dean was waiting for Jane in the hallway. He had peeked in for a just a second and had felt guilty watching their embrace. He had an idea of what Jane needed to talk to Maura about and for just an instant, couldn't help the pang of jealousy that he felt. He really had wanted to try with Jane, but she was right, he had lousy timing and the only time they saw each other was when it came to Hoyt.

Speaking briefly with the new officer parked outside Maura's room he told him to let Jane know he had gone to the restroom. Heading down the hallway, he never noticed the nurse attendant following his movements.

Washing his hands, he stepped aside to let the nurse attendant in and fell to the floor twitching as Randall Crane deployed the tazer. Set to its highest voltage, he depressed the trigger until Agent Dean had passed out.

Jane's cell phone buzzed, once, twice before she finally answered "Rizzoli. What? Ok where? Let Korsak know, I'll be right there." Jane looked at Maura and smiled, "Hoyt's been spotted, two blocks from the warehouse where Rondo got cut," kissing Maura tenderly on the lips, "I'll be back later okay?"

"Promise?" she didn't want Jane to leave. She was safe here, with her.

"I promise I'll try to be back tonight, I'll even bring Frost and Korsak."

She had hoped to see her mom before she left but she didn't have time now. Looking around she wondered where Gabe was since she didn't see him when she left Maura's room. Asking the officer, she headed toward the restroom, tapping the mic in her belt she turned it back on. She didn't think anyone needed to hear her conversation with Maura.

Picking at the back of her shirt, she tried to turn on the other mic.

"Shit it was easier to turn this thing off than turn on." Muttering to herself she turned the corner and felt the switch move to on. "Oh, sorry, my bad" as she bumped into the attendant.

"Not a problem" Korsak and Frost listened as Jane's mic came back on.

"Who the hell is that?" Korsak was uneasy. He didn't like that Jane had turned off the mic in the first place.

"It's just for a few minutes dammit, I need to talk to Maura and I certainly don't need any of you listening in." She needed Gabe to understand.

"Fine but you turn it on the minute you're done."

"Done."

Korsak hated that he didn't have any say in the matter but he knew Jane needed to talk to Maura, he wanted her to, for her own sanity. He didn't like watching Jane self-destruct and that's what he was seeing."

"Alright then" Jane's quiet voice interrupting his thoughts, "just washing my hands, guys don't get excited," her teasing made them both smile.

Pushing the door open with her foot, Jane still hadn't seen Gabe, "Ma'am, Detective Rizzoli?"

Jane recognized the woman as the nurse who had come in to check on Maura.

"Yes"

"Yes ma'am I have a message from an Agent Dean, he said he's pulling the car around the back emergency room entrance."

"Thanks," watching as she walked away, "well you heard the lady" Heading to the other bank of elevators, Jane sent a text to Gabe "heading down now"

"Well you heard the lady"

"Fuck!" Frost got out of the car and ran into the hospital. Agent Dean's SUV had not moved nor had there been any sight of the federal agent.

Korsak got on the radio, "dispatch this is joint fed detail, I need units now at Boston General."

Putting the car in gear, he drove around to the rear of the building and silently prayed that he was wrong.

Jane rode the elevator down with two nurses and an attendant. With a sideways glance she noticed he was the same attendant she had bumped into. That was the first odd thing, the second was the long sleeve t-shirt he wore under his scrubs. She hadn't noticed that before. The elevator stopped on the 3rd floor and both nurses got out, leaving Jane and the attendant. Reaching out she went to press one instead of getting out on the ground floor when she saw him move.

Frost stopped outside Maura's room and followed Jane's steps, there was no sign of her by the restrooms or the bank of elevators.

"Shit…shit…shit!" He pulled the handle for the stairs when he heard his name.

Grabbing Dean before he fell, Frost called for help.

"What the hell happened?"

"Tazed…in the bathroom…" looking around, "where's Jane?"

The grim look on Frost's face spoke volumes, "go…I'm fine…find her…" leaving him in the hands of two nurses, Frost took off down the stairs. He was fast, he just hoped he was fast enough.

She knew she was in trouble, Jane reached for her gun at the same time he deployed the tazer; she lost.

She immediately lost control of her body. Her fingers lost their grip on her gun and as she felt herself fall her mind went to one person, "Maura"

Pocketing her gun, he picked her up, putting his arm under her shoulders. As the doors opened on the first floor, he waited for them to close again before shifting her around in his arms. He had her now he needed to get her out of here. Doors opening onto the ground floor he quickly looked around before depositing her in a wheel chair he had stationed by the elevators. Bypassing the emergency room entrance Randall pushed opened the service door and placed her in the back of the maintenance van he had appropriated earlier. Closing the door, he failed to notice the newly installed camera recording everything that happened. As the van sped away Frost burst out the same service door, sure that he had seen Jane. Catching just the first two letters of the license plate he re-holstered his gun.

Korsak watched the speeding van pull out of the parking and followed it. He knew Jane was in that van. He heard the tazer deploy and then nothing but feedback. He knew it was likely that the tazer had shorted out the mic attached to ane, but the mic on her belt was different, wireless, he could still hear sounds just not clearly. The heavy breathing and grunting he could tell were male. When he heard the door slam he had tried to hurry, but the hospital parking was a mess. Watching the van speed away coincided with the sounds he heard from the hidden mic. "Come on Janie, wake up, wake up…"

"Dammit Korsak!" Frost watched as Korsak sped out of the parking lot in pursuit of the van. The arriving units confronted a very angry young detective. Commandeering a mobile laptop from one of the police units, he ran a search on the partial plates. Letting the search run he went into the hospital again. He needed access to their cameras; hopefully they caught more than he had.

Korsak tried to follow as inconspicuously as possible but knew he had been made as soon as the van went through a red light making a sharp left turn.

"Shit…"picking up the radio "suspect headed east on Revere, still in pursuit. Where the hell are you headed." Korsak listened as he heard Crane's voice. "Yes sir, yes I have her, we're on our way now, no, no problems sir. Hmmm, fifteen minutes. No I didn't hurt her."

Korsak continued to follow matching turn for turn until, "Shit!" He got caught in the traffic across Beacon. "Son of a bitch!" He smacked his hand against the steering wheel. "suspect vehicle last seen headed south on Arlington, past the commons" At this time of day he knew there was no way he could catch up. He had said fifteen minutes till he got to wherever he was going. Pulling over, he pulled out his cell.

"Where the hell are you?"

"Not now Frost, meet me at the corner of Beaver and Beacon, bring your laptop."

What? Why …"

"No fucking questions we need to get her back. Get here" hanging up he listened intently to the receiver for Jane's mic. Crane was still driving; Korsak could hear the movement of the van, a honking horn and …a groan.

"Wake up Janie," he whispered to no one, "wake up"
