A New Family, a New Future-Part 16:

"I really am sure I've heard of Chloe's mother but I can't think where," Jane said as she and Maura got ready for bed, "there must be something going on. Frankie is taking a long time getting the information," she sighed.

"Well I am still rather annoyed that you went and asked Frankie to look into the situation without checking with me first," Maura said as she slipped into her silk nightwear.

"I'm sorry. I'm just protective of her after everything that's happened to her," Jane said, "until I know that Chloe and her family aren't trouble or a threat I will be on high alert."

"Whatever we find out we'll keep it a secret from her until we know for sure if there is any threat to Louisa," Maura said, "I don't want to panic or worry her until we have all the facts."

"I have to agree there. I just hope that everything is clean because I don't think I have the heart to tell her Chloe is bad news," Jane said, "or that I told Frankie to investigate her new friend." Maura just sighed before slipping into bed and Jane soon pulled her close and kissed her softly.

The weekend passed and there was still no news from Frankie but he'd been in touch to say that it was taking longer than planned because he'd come across something that needed something checking out more. So far everything was clean; much to Jane's relief.

Chloe met Louisa at Louisa's bus stop and the two got on the bus and began to catch up on what had happened over the weekend.

"Jane and Maura weren't so bad," Chloe said.

"That has something to do with Cailin talking to you first," Louisa said, "she did the first one so Jane and Maura wouldn't go so hard on you. Jane's a detective so she can interrogate hard," she said before looking out of the window. She loved having the window seat and Chloe didn't mind as she wasn't a huge fan of the window seat.

They arrived at the school and got off the bus and were soon in the thick of the chaos of a Monday morning.

"Welcome back," Louisa sighed as she looked around, "why are Mondays always so loud and chaotic?"

"Because nobody has seen each other over the weekend," Chloe said as the two walked inside and to homeroom.

The day went well but then there was a math lesson and everything was going well until there was a fire drill and everyone went to get up and leave but the noise hit Louisa's ears and she hit under the table and shook as she began to have a panic attack. Nobody had noticed until Chloe doubled back and crouched down by Louisa and soon realised that her friend was clearly having a flashback and she wasn't coming out of it soon.

"Chloe Davis! Outside now," the teacher said as she came back in.

"Louisa's stuck in a flashback and she won't come out of it," Chloe explained before the teacher told her to go and get someone to call Jane and Maura.

Maura got the call first but she and Jane were on a case so she called Constance and the woman instantly headed to the school and waited for Louisa to be brought to reception.

It took Chloe and their math teacher a good 15 minutes before Louisa finally calmed down enough to pull herself back from the flashback and she looked around before she looked and was led to reception.

"Constance…?" she asked as she was sat down and given some water.

"What happened?" Constance asked.

"I think I had a bit of a flashback. I don't really know," Louisa said, "I just remember hearing the alarm and the rest is a blank until Chloe and Miss Andrews managed to bring me out of the flashback. I can't remember what it was about. I just completely blanked out. Where's Jane and Maura?"

"They've just landed a new case so they couldn't come so they sent me instead," Constance explained, "now drink that water and then it's time for lunch anyway. Chloe will be here soon."

Louisa drank her water and then smiled as she saw Chloe and she looked at her.

"Hey. Thanks for you know," she said softly.

"You did rather scare me there," Chloe said, "but it's OK. You'll be OK right," she said.

"Once I've eaten," she said and Constance said she'd go and see Jane and Maura and Chloe and Louisa made their way to the canteen.

"So what happened?" Chloe asked.

"I just heard the alarm and it triggered something that I don't even remember and the rest of it until I saw you and Miss Andrews," Louisa said as she ate her lunch, "I don't even remember getting under the desk."

"Well Jane and Maura will soon hear about this and then no doubt they'll want to talk to you about it tonight," Chloe said.

"Such fun," Louisa sighed.

Constance had arrived at the station and headed straight down to Maura and Jane soon joined them.

"What happened?" Maura asked.

"She appeared to have a flashback from the fire alarm going off," Constance said, "but she can't remember what it is or when it happened. All she saw was black and she couldn't hear anything at all."

"She just blanked out and saw black?" Jane asked worriedly.

"That's right," Constance said, "she went under a table and had no idea how she got under there."

"We'll have to talk to her tonight," Maura said as she looked at Jane, "it won't be good."

"She may well need therapy again to figure out what is going on. The last sessions only covered from when her mother died," Jane said, "I mean there may be stuff that happened to her before that she hasn't spoken about."

Maura sighed as she stood there and thought for a moment and then she sighed once more.

"Jane and I will have to talk to her tonight and then see what needs to be done," she said, "maybe have to get Cailin to talk to her as well. Yes that's what we'll do," she said softly before sighing. There were clearly memories that Louisa had buried that they'd never even considered. Life for Louisa was probably about to get a little upsetting once more and they would have to support her through it as they always would.
