"Maura" Jane greeted her best friend with a smile when she re-entered her hospital room.

"Sorry Jane" Maura replied with a frown.

"Sorry for what?" Jane asked. "Running out earlier" Maura replied.

"It's okay Maura" Jane replied waiving her hand for Maura to come closer. "I don't blame you for this Maur. Do you hear me? This is not your fault."

Maura nodded her head quickly fighting the tears away again. "Sorry" she said trying to compose herself.

"Please don't cry" Jane begged. "I'm not. I'm just so, so angry Jane. And sad" Maura replied taking the seat next to Jane's bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jane asked. "I don't know" Maura replied. "Come on Maura, you will feel better" Jane urged. "I am so angry with Paddy for what he did Jane. I hate him" Maura replied coldly. "And I'm so sad that he is my father, I am so sad and angry that his blood is my blood."

"Maura, we can't help who our family is. We don't have to be like them, we can make our own choices, just like you have" Jane replied. "And how many times do I have to remind you that Patrick Doyle is not your father?" Jane added.

"But he is Jane" Maura replied with a sigh, "I'm trying to take care of it".

Jane squinted her eyes at Maura's cryptic tone. "What does that mean? Trying to take care of it?" Jane repeated.

"I asked Shay to…you know" Maura said quietly.

"No, I don't know Maura and when did you ask Shay to do anything? Dean said she escaped" Jane said angrily.

"No. Dean let her go" Maura replied, "I just saw her outside the hospital while I was composing myself."

"Maura, Dean just told me that she escaped from the cabin" Jane argued.

"That is not what Shay told me Jane. I know when she in lying and she's not lying, she's wor" Maura began but stopped suddenly remembering Shay told her she didn't want anyone to know what she was doing.

"She's what Maura? She working for who? For you?" Jane asked.

"No" Maura said feeling the hives begin to form on her chest.

"Maura Dorthea Isles" Jane spouted.

"What Jane? As long as he is out there you are in danger. Angela is in danger, Tommy, Frankie, TJ, Frost, Korsak, Me…We are all in danger!" Maura said loudly.

Jane sat silently taking in Maura's words and state of mind. "You're not thinking clearly Maur" Jane replied quietly.

"Why Jane? Because you believe Dean?" Maura thundered.

"Maura please, calm down. You're so stressed, I can see it in your face."

"I can't calm down Jane as long as he is out there. I know it doesn't make any sense to you. I know that! And when you shot my father I was so angry with you. I apologize Jane. I know now that it needed to be done and if he would have died none of this would be happening. I hope you can forgive me for how I treated you after that and I am so sorry that I held onto it for so long" Maura said exhaling a deep breath. "I have behaved so badly Jane" Maura admitted.

"Maura please, you don't need to apologize. But I do need you to tell me exactly what you have done" Jane requested.

Maura thought quickly. Shay's thinking was all wrong. Jane definitely needed to hear what was going on.

"BPD is there now?" Shay asked into the phone. "Have you gotten a tip on their plan?" she listened to the response. "Okay, text me when you know more. I am headed over there now." Shay replied as she made her way through the crowded parking garage where she parked a back up vehicle a week ago.

She unlocked the SUV and opened the back driver side door. Shay flipped up the bench seat which hid an arsenal of firearms. She locked the seat back down before getting into the driver seat and starting the engine. She backed out of the parking spot and wound her way around to the parking garage exit and headed back toward South Boston for the third time in 2 days.

Frankie burst through the hospital doors. "Hey Janie, I just wanted to say bye. We got a tip and I want to be there when we get that bastard" he said.

"Sorry Maura" he said with a half smile and a shoulder shrug.

"It's okay Frankie" Maura replied.

"Frankie, please watch your back" Jane instructed. "Stay close to Frost and Korsak."

"I got this Janie" he said before rushing to her bed side and placing a kiss on his sister's forehead.

He was out the door before anyone knew he was gone. Both ladies sat silently taking in the reality of what was probably about to happen in the city of Boston. The era of Paddy Doyle was close to being over.

Shay pulled into the restaurant parking lot and waited. The clock on the dash display hit 4pm and Shay flashed her brake lights 3 times. A couple of minutes later the passenger door opened.

"You ready for this?" Dean asked seeing a grimace on Shay's face.

"Yes" Shay answered shortly. "Are you?" she deflected.

Dean didn't offer an answer but returned a glare. "What information do you have?" he asked.

"I know where he will be for the next few hours but there is a problem" Shay replied.

"What?" Dean asked.

"BPD has the same information and they are planning a raid" Shay informed the FBI Agent.

"Well, you better get there first or there is no deal" he threatened.

"You know I could kill you right now" Shay replied sarcastically.

"It doesn't look like your 100%, so I will take my chances this time" Dean said as he saw a stain of blood beginning to soak through on Shay's left thigh.

"Give me your gun" Shay demanded from Dean.

"Absolutely not" Dean replied.

"You want the credit on this? The entire Boston Police Department is going to be there. Don't you want ballistics to come back to your weapon?" Shay answered.

"If it's just the same to you Dorsey, I will wait until we are not locked in this car before I surrender my firearm" Dean replied.
"That's the smartest thing you have done in the last two days" Shay replied sarcastically.

"Can we go now?" Dean asked.

Shay started the car and pulled out of the parking lot headed toward Paddy's hideout.

"Maura, why would you do something so stupid? I need for you to tell me the words you used…exactly" Jane thundered. "Excuse me Jane. I am just doing what I have to do to protect my loved ones" Maura replied. "You have no room to talk Jane"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jane questioned.

"I know it was you that called Paddy a few years ago when my half brother was killed." Maura accused.

"I did not" Jane denied.

"Come on Jane."

Jane tried to hide her guilt. She wondered how long Maura knew she had called in the tip to Doyle on the cell phone he gave Maura.

"You should not be involved in something like this Maura" Jane admonished.

"It's too late Jane. I have already done it. So you can arrest me for conspiracy to commit murder or for conspiring with a FBI fugitive or you can protect me" Maura said giving her the ultimatum.

"God damn it Maura" Jane yelled.

"Woah Jane" Angela said walking into the room. "What's the matter with you?" she asked in Jane's direction.

"Nothing Ma, we are just having a disagreement. Can you give us a minute please" Jane asked.
"No Jane. You should not be so upset in your current condition and whatever you are angry with Maura about, I am sure she had a good reason for what she did" Angela replied. "And Nurse April just told me they are about to move you to a private room."

"Great" Maura said cheerfully as a few hospital staff plus Nurse April entered Jane's ICU room.

"Which room are they taking her to?" Maura asked.

"4508: April replied quickly. The ICU doors opened as the nursing staff wheeled Jane from the room toward the elevators. "See you up there" Maura said as Jane exited followed closely by her mother.

That was the right thing to do….right? Maura asked herself.

The elevator doors opened to the 4th floor of Mass General hospital as Maura stepped off in search of Jane's room. She followed the signs in the corridor hallways toward room 4508 when she saw a familiar face. "Cailin?" Maura asked.

"Maura, hi" Cailin said turning toward her half sister. "What are you doing here?" She asked quickly.

"Jane was shot and she is being moved to a room on this floor, room 4508" Maura answered. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I volunteer here" Cailin answered rudely.

"I see" Maura wasn't sure why she was on the receiving end of a full on teenage attitude assault. Cailin took notice of the shock on Maura's face and quickly tried to explain, "I'm sorry. I'm just a little pissy."

"Why? Is everything okay?" Maura asked displaying a genuine concern for her younger sister. "Yes, it's just my mom. She just sent me this text that she had to leave town on business all of a sudden." Cailin answered.

"Oh" Maura replied still not understanding why Cailin was so upset. "She said I couldn't go out when she is out of town" Cailin replied hoping that Maura would understand. "I had a date tonight" she said still not seeing Maura understand.

"I'm sorry Cailin. I did not have a lot of parental influence in my life when I was your age. I was sent away to school and on my own." Maura explained.

"Sounds nice" Cailin replied with a smile.

"I don't know. I missed not having a mom around, so" Maura stated.
Cailin rolled her eyes and smirked knowing Maura was too old to identify with her.

"I should go" Maura said trying to get out of the awkward silence. "4508 is that way around the corner" Cailin offered. "Thanks" Maura replied. She started walking away before stopping to ask, "Where did Hope go to? I just saw her and she didn't say that she was leaving town? Not that she has to tell me anything" Maura rambled. "It was sudden, I think." Cailin answered.

"Oh" Maura replied beginning to turn back toward the direction of Jane's room.

"Chicago." Cailin called out. "She went to Chicago" Cailin said looking at the text message she received from her mother a few hours ago.
