Trigger warning
Maura had been missing for over 24 hours now, the whole of the USA was on high alert looking for her. Hoyts picture hadn't been circulated, Jane knew that once they told the news about Hoyt, they would find out he was a disgraced Marine. They didn't want to tip him over the edge, to get him angry enough to kill Maura.
Jane had a plan to lure Hoyt out of hiding. She wasn't sure if it would work, but she had to try
Korsac and Jane were walking back to The White House after their lunch when Jane suddenly stopped and patted her pockets
"Whats wrong?" Korsac asked
"I think I left my phone in the diner. You go ahead, I'll catch you up"
"Ok." he replied and walked on
Jane turned and went back to the diner to check for her phone. Just as she got to the door, someone tapped her on the shoulder
"Excuse me miss?"
She turned around
"Yes, how can I…"
She didn't even get to finish her sentence when a holt of electricity shot through her
Jane woke up, face down on a cold cement floor. Her hands were bound behind her back, and he legs were bound at the ankles and knees. She smiled wryly. Her plan worked, albeit sooner than she thought.
"Nice of you to join us Captain Rizzoli, Dr Isles here was starting to get lonely without you"
"Actually, It's Major Rizzoli. I got an early promotion for taking you down" Jane replied still lying on her stomach
He gave a raspy laugh "Lets play a game shall we, Major?"
He lifted her off the floor and put her on a chair. He looked her straight in the eyes.
"I'm going to enjoy this Jane. I'm going to enjoy killing you and your little play thing over there. I'm going to take my time with her"
Jane glanced over to where Maura had been placed. She was bound and gagged. And incredibly scared. She tried to give her a reassuring look, but Hoyt snapped her face back to him.
"How are your hands Jane? Hold them up, let me see"
Jane didn't move. Hoyt snatched her hands up
"Look Doctor, hasn't this healed well? Did she ever tell you how she got those scars"
Maura shook her head
"You didn't tell her? Now now Jane, that won't do. That won't do. At. All."
He let go of Jane's face, and moved away. He went over to a table in the room, and opened up a silk pouch. He lifted out a scalpel, checked it was sharp and stood behind Maura.
"I bet you've noticed them Doctor?"
Maura nodded
"I bet you've been so curious as to how she got them"
Maura didn't move
"I bet you've even searched her name on the internet to try and find out"
Maura looked at Jane apologetically
"And I bet you didn't find anything, did you?"
Maura dropped her head. Hoyt snapped it back up again.
"Well, I'll tell you Doctor. Because I bet the internet didn't tell you. After all, Jane's involvement was never mentioned."
"Don't hurt her Hoyt"
"You are in no position to threaten me Jane" he smirked at her
"Wanna bet?"
"Yes, Major. I do. Let's bet. Do you really think you can get out of that chair and over here to kill me before I plunge this scalpel into the good doctors carotid artery? Really Jane?"
"No. I'm a Marine. We don't think. We do." she smirked at him
He smiled back at her
"I'm waiting Jane"
"So am I"
He looked at her puzzled.
"What are you waiting for?"
"well, as we speak multiple law enforcement agencies are surrounding this house, I'd be very surprised that there weren't a few people right outside this basement door waiting for a signal"
He laughed
"Do you think I'm stupid? Did you really underestimate me that much? I've rigged this house to blow if anyone so much as sneezes near a window. No Jane, no-one is coming to save you. You're going to watch Maura die, and then I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me"
He traced a line up Maura's neck with the scalpel. Just deep enough to draw blood.
Maura whimpered
"ENOUGH. Leave her alone. You want me not her. Leave her out of it"
He laughed again
"Very well Jane, I'll grant you your last request."
He moved around Maura and stood behind Jane. He took his scalpel and cut Jane the same way he had cut Maura. He moved round to squat in front of Jane.
"Look. Now you match" he said with a smirk
Jane took her opportunity to plunge her thumbs into Hoyts eyes. He dropped the scalpel and screamed as he fell to the floor grabbing his face.
"YOU BITCH. I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS"
As he tried to get up, Jane plunged his abandoned scalpel into his neck. He gasped, and choked. He tried pulling it out, but he didn't have the strength.
Just as he stopped moving, a SWAT task force burst through the basement door and sped down the
They cleared the room, checked Hoyts pulse and then untied Maura. She immediately ran over to Jane and put her arms around her, crying.
Jane wrapped around her arms around Maura, pulling her tighter. They stood like this for several minutes before Maura was rushed away to be checked over by a Paramedic.
Jane looked around the room. It was now full of forensic teams and FBI agents.
"Agent Rizzoli?" A man asked her
She just looked at him
"Hi, I'm Special Agent Gabriel Dean. I'm with the FBI."
"No shit" she said giving him a look
He ignored her comment and carried out
"We need you to get checked out by the EMTs then we've got a few questions for you"
"Just ask your questions"
"Are you sure you don't want to get checked over? Your neck is bleeding… A lot."
She had forgotten about that.
"Yeah, maybe I will actually"
He escorted her to an ambulance to get checked over and asked her his questions whilst she was receiving treatment. Luckily it was just a flesh wound, nothing a bandage wouldn't fix.
Dean helped her out of the van and offered to give her a ride to The White House, but she declined. She needed to find Maura.
Just as she was asking questions about Maura, Frost pulled up, with Marshall, the head of the Secret service close behind him.
They both ran over to her
"Where's Maura?" She asked them
"She's been taken to hospital to get a full examination" Marshall answered.
"You look like shit" Frost added.
"Thanks" Jane deadpanned
"C'mon, I'll give you a lift back"
"Thanks"
As soon as they arrived back, Jane took some painkillers and went straight to bed. It had been a long, stressful day. Her body hurt all over and she had the mother of all headaches.
She was just getting into bed when her phone rang. She contemplated ignoring it, then she seen who it was
"Agent Rizzoli, I'd like you to come to the residence please"
"Yes Mr President, I'll be there right away"
She hung up, sighed, and got dressed again
10 minutes later she arrived at the residence, she opened the door and walked into the kitchen
"Mr President, Madam First lady" Jane greeted
"Agent Rizzoli, please take a seat"
She took an empty seat at the dining table. She looked at both of them, they looked 10 years older than the last time she'd seen them.
"Thank you so much for saving our daughter Agent Rizzoli"
"I was just doing my j…"
"No. don't finish that sentence Jane" Mrs Isles interrupted "You went above and beyond today. Agent Korsac told us of your plan, and the FBI and Agent Marshall have filled us in on what happened in there"
"Risking your life is part of this job, Agent Rizzoli, but this was much more than that. What you did for Maura… You… "
He put his head in hands
"I don't know what I would have done if she had have… If you hadn't have…" a tear rolled down his face"
"From the bottom of my heart, as a father, and a President. Thank you so much Agent Rizzoli"
"Thank you Jane" Mrs Isles added taking Arthur's hand.
"It was no problem, really." She smiled
Arthur Isles looked at her
"You should get some rest, you look like you need it"
"Yes sir"
Just as she was getting up out of her chair, the door to the kitchen opened and in walked Agent Marshall, and 2 other Secret Service agents followed by a very beaten Maura Isles.
Arthur and Constance got up and rushed over to Maura and gave her a big hug. Jane, not wanting to pry on a private family matter, quietly pushed in her chair and started to leave.
"Jane" Maura called after her
Jane stopped and turned around
"Yes Doctor Isles?"
"Thank you for saving me"
"I was just doing my job"
Maura gave her a feeble smile. She let go of her parents and walked over to Jane and gave her a hug
"You're my hero" she whispered into the hug. Jane smiled and pulled her in tighter
"Can you stay with me tonight? Please? I really don't want to be alone"
"Well, I, uh…" she looked at her boss
"Rizzoli" Marshall stated "The Daughter of The President of the United States has given you, her protective detail, and order. Since you declined the use of a personal day…" He trailed off
She looked back at Maura, who looked so broken.
"If you'll excuse me, I will go and pack and overnight bag and come back"
"Thank you Jane" she said loud enough that only Jane could hear.
