Happy Thursday!

I own nothing, just like to borrow for my own fun! Enjoy!

Jane feels out of sorts, to say the least. The case is getting to them all. Just when they feel like they are catching a break, it turns out to be a false lead. But it's not only the case, Jane has this feeling, like an itch deep in the skin, that you can't get to. She stands abruptly from her desk.

"I'm going down to the morgue to see if Maura has anything else that can help us." I just need to see Maura, usually she can make me smile while she spouts off some bizarre facts.

"Why don't you call down?" Frost has suspicions about the two women and likes to CAREFULLY push Jane's buttons.

"I want to take a walk and get away from this for a minute, do you mind?" Jane growls.

Frost holds up his hands defensively. "I got no problem with that partner."

Korsak doesn't bother looking up from his paperwork, "Bring back coffee!"

"Ya, ya. Of course."

Jane takes the elevator down, walks into Maura's office and flops on Maura's couch throwing an arm over her eyes.

"Maura, pleasssse tell me that you have something to help us with this case." Jane whines at Maura.

"As a matter of fact Jane, we have determined that there is a second blood type on the victim's clothes, so we will have that DNA this afternoon. I believe we are also getting close to discovering what kind of tool made the fatal injury to his head."

"That sounds great Maura. Make sure you let me know when you get definite answers."

"Don't I always, Jane?"

Jane's eyes were drifting over Maura's desk. She saw a card with a photo of Maura and darker haired woman laughing together as the front of the card. Jane's stomach did a sick little flip. Oh, great. Look, it's a card. Wonderful, can't wait to hear what THIS one is. I bet that is the famous ANGELA in the photo with Maura. She has it on her desk so she can look at it. Ok, act cool….

"So, what's that on your desk?" Jane casually points toward the card.

"Oh! This is a picture of Angela and me, isn't it a great shot?"

"Yeah, wonderful. Any special reason it's on a card?"

Maura smiles and opens the card for Jane to read.

'Happy Pick a Pathologist Pal Day! I am so glad to have picked you as my pal. Luv ya Sweetie, see you soon! Hugs and kisses, Angela'

Maura watches Jane's face as Jane looks in the card. She sees the eyebrows go down, wrinkles form above the bridge of the nose and the infusion of blood to Jane's neck and face indicating a higher heart rate.

Uh, oh. Fight of flight response, which one will she display?

"Seriously, Maura? What the hell? You show me right now that there is a 'Pick a Pathologist Pal' day!"

"Jane, maybe you should calm down a little first." I guess it's the fight repsonse!

"Don't tell me to calm down. I don't need to calm down. I'm perfectly fine. Don't you think that if there was such a stupid day like that, I would have gotten a stupid card for you? You are MY pathologist!"

Jane knows she is being unreasonable, but the anger is seething in her and she doesn't want to admit why.

Maura blinks at what Jane accidently has revealed. Jane is jealous of Angela.

Maura goes to a search engine, types, clicks and turns her screen to show Jane the results.

"Son of a bitch! Stupid holidays. I don't have time for this." Jane begins to storm out the door.

"Jane? Please stay a moment." Oh, this is going to go over well in the mood she is in.

Jane turns to glare at Maura who has now moved to the couch. Maura pats the couch next to her and Jane gives a grunt and sits down.

Maura reaches over to take Jane's hand. "Angela and Jack are coming to Boston for the weekend. They would like for all of us to go out and have a chance to get to know you."

Jane begins to stand up. "What? No, Maura. I'm not going out with you and your best friend and be left out of inside jokes and stories of the good old days."

Maura stands with Jane, but won't let go of her hand. "Jane, you know I'm horrible at jokes and they are told inside and outside, so I don't know why you are worried about that. I want my best friend to meet my best friend forever friend. The one that includes me to her family gatherings. Who gave me Little Bass, my very first personal Christmas tree ornament picked out by her. Who protects me, watches over me and puts up with me. Please go out with us. For me. Come with me."

Maura is squeezing Jane's hand and her hazel eyes are staring softly into Jane's chocolate ones.

Jane sighs.

I'm her best friend forever friend. That beats best friend. Why is it so important that I am the number one friend in her life? Probably because she is the number one friend in my life. Look at the way she is looking at me, all hopeful and all. Oh, what the hell. What harm could come to meeting this Angela and her husband.

"Sure Maura. Whatever makes you happy."

Maura pulls Jane into a hug. "Thank you, Jane."

Jane whispers in her ear, "I have to run out and find you a card, PAL"

Maura laughs.
