R&B 101
The rest of the afternoon went by pretty quickly. Jane was called in to discuss a few cold cases and Frost worked on clearing some of his paperwork. Jane insisted that Frost check on Maura throughout the day. Each time he came up with a new update for Jane which was not looking too good for her. Maura caught on pretty quickly on what Jane was doing and promptly told Frost to tell her to do her own snooping. After they were both for the day, Jane drove over to Frost's apartment.
"Jane…come in please. Pardon the mess." Frost said. Jane looked around confused; there was not a thing out of place.
"Um sure Frost, I think I can handle your um "mess".
"Sooooo, any ideas on how you gonna fix this" Frost asked
"Nooooo Frost, that's what I am here for…" Jane said, pouting in the process
"Listen Jane, I know some things about Maura. Things that we discussed as friends. So if you are not serious about her, I don't know that I want to betray her."
"I know she is your friend and I probably do not deserve anything after embarrassing her at work like that but you got to believe me….I love her. I need to make this right."
"Ok well, what do you know Rhythm and Blues."
"Um is this a trick question or something…" Jane said exhaustingly. She had no idea where he was going with this or how it was going to help.
"Just bare with me Jane. So when I borrowed the Doc's ride…." Jane cuts him off "I still can't believe she let you drive her car."
"Yeah well you'll just have to get over that. Anyways, when I played her Ipod I learned the Doc has an interesting taste in music. She has like every R&B and Hip Hop CD ever made"
"Maura, Dr. Maura Isles" Jane said surprised
"That's what I thought, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. Anyways when I returned her car, I asked her about it. After talking for a while she pretty much said the music helps her communicate."
"So when she couldn't tell me how she felt you recommended she dedicate a song to me. Thanks for that by the way…the night was incredible"
"Really, what happened?"
"Nice try"
"Can you blame me, The Doc is hot I mean that blue dress is…"
"Shut it"
"Alright Alright"
"So your saying I should dedicate a song to her"
"I think you need to communicate how you feel about her and since you have to apologize first…I don't think one song is gonna cut it"
"I am screwed Frost, I don't know anything about Music"
"Tat's why I am here Jane….ready"
"Yup"
"Okay we already know you have to apologize so take this CD, track 6 should do it. Now, when you think of Maura what is the first thing you think about…"
"Love"
"Okay these should be good" Frost hands Jane another three CD's
"What do you see in your future with Maura?"
"Frost that's personal"
"Jane…I think we are beyond that don't you"
"Ok, I want her forever"
"Okay …these will help"
"Frost, you have given me 10 CD's"
"That's it, here take these as well."
"Okay."
"Take them Home Jane, listen to them. Then figure out what you are going to tell her"
"Thanks."
"Good Luck"
Four hours later Jane had listened to all the CD's and knew exactly what she wanted to say. The problem was how she was going to get Maura to see her. She had one idea but it required her to admit being a dumbass to even more people. She dialed the number anyways, she couldn't let the night get away from her.
"Prentiss" the woman on the other end answered.
"Um, hello…My name is Jane, I am a friend of Maura's"
"Is she Okay, did something happen to her"
"She is okay….well she is wicked pissed off at me but she is physically fine." Jane said a little upset at herself that she didn't say that to begin with. Of course her friends would worry.
"Jane…is the Jane. Detective Rizzolli right?" Prentiss asked
"Yes" Jane said a little surprised. She knew Emily Prentiss was a good childhood friend of Maura's. She called her because Maura told her she worked for the FBI. Jane knew if anyone could help her with her crazy idea it would be the FBI.
"So let me guess, Maura told you how she felt and you screwed it up."
"Um yes that's what happened, how did you know?"
"Jennifer, you owe me five bucks" Emily yells at someone
"You bet on me being a screw up? Great." Jane says feeling even more embarrassed.
"Haha, no Jane I am sorry. I just had a bet with my wife that you would do the same thing I did when she told me she had a thing for me." Emily laughs. When she first heard about Jane from Maura she knew her friend had a crush. It was Emily and Jennifer relationship that gave Maura hope.
"Okay"
"It's a long story, so how can I help you"
"Well, as you have already guessed, I have screwed up. And I need to apologize but…"
"Let me guess, she won't see you."
"Exactly, I want to tell her how I feel, but I need some …how do I say this…technological help"
"Don't say another word….I will text you a number and Jane….."
"Yes"
"You hurt her one more time and I will make you disappear"
"Understood and Emily…."
"Yes"
"Thank you"
"Take care of our girl Detective"
"Detective can you hear me" a voice said over Jane's Bluetooth
"Loud and clear. Are you sure you will be able to break into her wireless? Jane asks hesitantly.
"Oh my dear sweet girl, I broke in in less than 30 seconds. Tell the Doc we need to discuss her choice of password. Way to easy."
"Oh. Ok. Guess I just have to give you the go ahead then"
"Yup. Waiting"
"Okay lets do it."
"You are live in 5, 4, 3, 2, …."
