After another breakfast without the blonde, Jane climbed the bus to spot the now familiar head at the rear section. With a grin she walked towards it.

"Excuse me, mam. Is this seat taken?" she asked playfully. Maura, reading her travel guide, first cringed but then nodded shyly when recognizing Jane. "Is this a good seat?" the blonde asked, and Jane said that it was perfect which made Maura smile.

The spot gave Jane full view over the people, especially the couple she had to keep an eye on.

R&I

"I'm sure you could do a much better tour than this guy." She whispered to Maura who was about to take a picture from a monument. When the blonde turned with a raised eyebrow Jane smiled. "I am certain, that you have far more knowledge than him." With him she meant the tour guide who looked more like a criminal than a serious person.

Maura looked puzzled until she realized that Jane had just made her a compliment. Then she blushed. "Usually I bore people with my knowledge." She looked somewhat scared.

"Ah, not me. I might not always listen or catch all the details, but you know a lot of interesting stuff Dr. Isles." She winked as they followed the group to the next station of their tour.

"Well, I can give you a private tour tomorrow if you like." The blonde said with a wistful smile before turning to face the guide. Jane hitched a breath. Was that flirting? With Maura she didn't know but to her it looked a lot like flirting.

On the other hand, she couldn't tell if she had been seriously flirting herslef in the first place. Had she just wanted to be nice? Before she could follow the tread in her mind, she felt someone tearing on her shirt. Noticing that it was Maura she followed the blonde around a column of the temple they were visiting and met two sparkling hazel eyes.

"I thought no separating from the group?" she teased.

"Only during the safari." Maura lifted a finger and reminded Jane that she usually took things rather literally. When Maura realized that she was being teased she chuckled and punched Jane playfully into her side. She was getting better at catching the humor. She learns quickly Jane thought with a smile. "Another joke." Jane apologized although it was unnecessary. "Yes. I figured that much."

It hit the brunette that they were standing in each other's personal space, but neither made a step to change the situation.

"What are we doing here?" she whispered, watching the group walk away with the guide.

"I just thought why not drag behind a bit and I share my wisdom with you. What the guide speaks is nonsense anyways as you said." Jane felt an unknown thump in her chest thinking she was seriously ill until she recognized what people called yeah what? Being in love? Jane had never been in love and didn't intend to fall in love here. Especially not when being married. That didn't match her moral standards.

The thought that she was overthinking occurred to her and she suddenly shook her head at her own antics. This was probably just about having a little bit of fun anyways. There was no harm in it, right? "Okay." She whispered, still grinning from ear to ear.

She just had to make sure to keep an eye on the suspects she thought and accepted Maura leaving her personal space only reluctantly. She tried to listen to the blondes google mouthing but felt highly distracted by the gleaming eyes and moving lips. It was nice to kiss them for sure she thought when hearing a gasp coming from the group.

Switching immediately into work mode her detective instincts kicked in as she walked with quick strides towards to where now screams were coming from. "Excuse me." She said while pushing people aside to find a man lying on the floor.

Maura who was right behind her crouched down to check his vitals. When the doc glanced up to Jane with a frown, the detective knew that something was wrong. Jane knelt beside her and watch Maura perform CPR, but something told Jane that for some reason Maura only did it for show, asking herself why the blonde would do that.

The feeling that Maura was hiding something reemerged in her and she decided to ask the doc about it at a later point, when they were alone. Whatever it was, it bugged and distracted Jane.

The group returned to the hotel shortly after the ambulance had taken the dead body to the hospital. Jane kept a close eye to the elder couple until they had disappeared into their room. If they had murdered in Boston, she thought, they could as well murder in Nairobi.

They still didn't appear to be murderers to Jane. Besides there had never been an interaction between them and the dead man. At least not that she knew off. She basically only watched them when they were outside of their room. So, she couldn't exclude the possibility that they had met the victim in private.

Jane scratched her head and exhaled deeply.

The woman was around 70 and walking with a stick. If Jane would have to give her title, she would say that the woman was the sweet granny from the neighborhood who distributed candies to the kids of the neighborhood.

The man appeared to be in his mid-sixties. He was always wearing a smile and a joke on his lips. Both were the epitome for harmless, Jane thought.

"Are you all right?" Maura asked and touched her arm as they shared the elevator to their story. She looked worried. "It's always hard to see a dead body." She tried to console her new friend of whom she obviously believed had never seen a dead person. Oh well, they would have to have a talk, Jane thought as the elevator seemed to be slower than usual. She would have to tell Maura that she was working as a detective at BPD.

Jane didn't know how she felt about that talk and how to approach the subject without making Maura think that she had betrayed her all the time. The fact that she was not really good at talking added to her worries.

R&I

It was about lunchtime when the group was shoved into the restaurant. While waiting for lunch the guide explained them, that some people from the red cross crises center would be available if anyone needed to talk.

Also, the people who felt all right should take advantage of the service, just in case. There were a lot of murmurs, but Jane couldn't understand what was being said as she was focused on Mr. and Mrs. Jolly, their suspects. As far as she could tell, they behaved just like the other people of the group.

Most of them seemed to be excited about the sudden death of the man who nobody seemed to know and who as Jane noted had kept to himself for most of the time. Her eyes darted to Maura who was wearing a serious face and gauging the people's reactions too.

Jane was about to ask Maura for the talk, when an elder couple jumped into their steel cabin last minute. She bit her lips and waited until they left at the third story to open her mouth.

"I think we need to talk." She said, giving Maura a glance. The blondes face turned curious but then she nodded. "Sure. What do you want to talk about?"

"Later. I have to make some calls first." Jane gave her a small smile.

The blonde looked a bit puzzled but agreed to meet Jane in one hour, stating that she had stuff to do first as well. Jane wanted to ask what stuff but bit her lips again. Later would be more time she thought.

Once in the room, she waited for the connection to the Wi-Fi to build. It seemed to be as slow as ever.

"Hey, what's up Jane? Are you bored by your vacation already?" he asked with a teasing grin once it was successful.

"Actually, it got pretty interesting." She said. "We have a dead person." Frosts jaw dropped and she chuckled. "Murder follows you wherever you go." He said as a joke while his hands already flew over the keyboard to make a background check on the dead man.

"Louis Grat you said?" he asked with furrowed eyebrows. Jane opened her notebook to check and confirmed.

"Well, seems like some people die twice." Frost glanced at her through the monitor. "I have a louis Grat here. But he died of tuberculosis almost 100 years ago. There is no other person of this name in the system."

"You know what that means?" she asked excitedly, sensing an interesting case. "You will not steal the unknown man's fingerprints!" Cavanaugh's voice suddenly thundered over the loudspeakers, making Jane cringe. Then the boss himself appeared on her screen.

"But if we take the legal way it will take us forever." Jane whined with a pout. Cavanaugh rolled his eyes. "Do you have a plan?"

Janes face lit up. She nodded, despite having no plan at all. But she was sure she would come up with something. "We will take the official way. But I guess if you try to help a fellow American to find his family we won't mind."

Jane made a fist pump into the air. Cavanaugh grumbled and disappeared again. Frost obviously tried to hold back some laughter. "Just make sure they don't lock you up. I heard terrible things about prisons there." Sheer horror was showing on his face.

"I won't. You know me." She said reassuringly only to catch a murmured "Yeah that's why I'm worried."
