He's right Cavanaugh. What makes you so sure this guy is going to show up and not see Greene at this meeting?" Stated Joe.

Cavanaugh had that Cheshire Cat grin on his face. "Because I am going to make him an offer, that he can't refuse."

"And what's that, may I ask Cavanaugh?" Asked Gabriel. All four men had the same question on their minds.

"None of you are going to like it."

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?" Maura just stared back at everyone outside Jane's room.

"Do you know she's still recovering? They tried to kill her. Don't you think this would hurt her even more?" Maura was furious and that was putting it mildly after Cavanaugh, Dean and Grant approached her before seeing Jane.

Gabriel interjected before Maura grew angrier. "Look Dr. Isles, we know that we finally have a break at capturing who's behind all these attempts on Jane's life and Morino's downfall. We have the dirty cops that were trafficking the drugs and the last piece of the puzzle is about to fit in place. Jane will be protected at all times. Detectives Korsak, Frost, Agent Dean and I will have a beat on this guy as soon as he shows. The one thing that these guys have failed at is killing Jane. He wants her more than anything and she can help us nail this guy."

"I don't believe you are all considering this. I don't even think the Doctors will release her, not even for a day. And I know Jane; she'll want to be in on this, which makes this plan even scarier. I'm more worried about her. Anything can go wrong." Said Maura.

Joe intervened. "We know that as long as this guy is out there, he won't stop at tying up loose ends. You and Frankie are no threat, Jane is. We think that somewhere or somehow, Jane has crossed paths with whoever this guy is. Why would he try to kill her? Doctor Malcolm could have easily killed her on the operating table, but Jane was lucky. The second time he tried to kill her, he almost succeeded."

Joe placed his hands on Maura's shoulder. "I promise Maura. Everyone here is not going to let this bastard get away with this. Jane is a strong person. I know she would want to stop him for the pure fact that he killed a lot of innocent cops and injured some innocent people. We got one shot to get this guy for good and put him away."

Maura thought for the longest, and she knew that it was really up to Jane to make this dangerous decision. "But what proof do you have that he gave this order to kill Jane and the others? Unless someone can actually finger him, he's Scott free." Maura knew enough of the law that without forensic proof or actual witnesses, there was no way to convict this person.

"Well that will be up to Jane. We need a confession, and we're hoping Jane could draw that out of him, up close and personal." Said Cavanaugh.

Maura shook her head. "I don't like this, not one bit. Just…..just too dangerous."

They heard a muffled response from Jane's room. "YOU KNOW I CAN HEAR YOU."

Maura knew the jig was up, once Jane heard what was happening. They all entered Jane's room. She was sitting up and looking a little better from last time they saw her.

"So you want to use me as bait. Now I wonder who came up with such a brilliant ideal?" Raising her eyebrow, looking at all three men.

Cavanaugh approached. "Detective it's good to see you, alive." This was the first time Cavanaugh had seen Jane since the shooting. He was glad to see her with a slight smile.

"It's good to be alive Sir." Jane smiled back.

Gabriel and Joe were happy to see her smile for once. Both men knew this would be dangerous, but Cavanaugh had a point.

Jane adjusted herself in her bed. "So tell me what's going on."

"We only had one chance to contact this bastard. We made Greene threaten his drug operation. Afterwards I called him back and made a deal with him that Greene was an idiot and I would deliver something that he could not. We set up a meeting tonight and I would bring him you, to personally deal with and I wanted to watch. He couldn't resist and took the bait."

"Gee Captain; I didn't know you were so devious. Thank goodness you're on our side." Jane smirked.

Maura chimed in. "I don't like this Jane. You're barely healing and you want to leave to help this mad man kill you? They're not going to release you in this condition."

Seeing the concern in her friend's eyes. "Look Maur; a lot of good cops were killed and injured. That includes Frankie and Marino almost killed you and I both. This guy has destroyed lives like Doctor Malcolm, his daughter and who knows who else has been corrupted. There are a lot of people who turned dirty because of this guy. And if he wants me, then he's going to have to litterly kill me to stop me from catching him. This way we get him red handed and stop him for good. I can't rest until this guy is put away for all the harm he's done. He's not going to come out of hiding unless he has something he wants and that's me Maur. I'm doing this for them, not for me."

Maura moved closer to her friend's bedside. "I still don't have to like it, you know."

"I know." Jane smiled back at her friend, patting her hand for understanding.

"So I'll make arrangements to have you leave the hospital. All of us will be there Jane. Agent Dean, Detective Korsak and Frost. The FBI will have a beat on this guy so nothing happens to you. We have a backup plan, just in case. All you have to do is make sure this guy confesses to you. Whatever he has against you, he won't resist gloating." Stated Gabriel.

'I won't let anything happen to you Jane. You mean to much to me.' Gabriel thought. Joe's thoughts were along the same way.

Jane huffed, knowing she would be in some pain, but relying on pain killers. "So, let's do this."
