Hi everyone. I am SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRRYYYYYY! I have NEVER been so far behind in my updates EVER! Life happened and Inspiration left, plain and simple. If you need to, (and you most likely will need to) feel free to re-read this fic. I'm sure you've probably forgotten what it's about! Again, I do apologize and promise that my life should be slowing down here very soon. Also, I apologize for how short this chapter is- Alright, with that being said, I give you chapter 5! (Finally)

I'm really not looking forward to paperwork. I'm really-really not." Jane said as she lay back in her chair.

Barry pulled a notebook from his desk drawer. "Yeah. I get ya." He began to scribble.

"What are you doing?" she asked as she yawned.

He laughed. "I'm making a list-of all the things I could be doing-instead of paperwork."

She laughed. "What have you got so far?"

"Watch football, nap." He paused. "Make peanut butter and fluff sandwiches-"

There was a small silence. Jane blushed. "Those are all fine ideas Frost," she began. "But you missed one."

"I did?" he asked.

"Yeah. You forgot softball."

He smiled in spite of himself. "Do you miss the thrashing my mother gave you?"

"Gave US Frost, gave US!" she reminded. "And no, I just really want a re-match."

"I could go for that!" Korsack said from behind his glasses.

Jane laughed. "Sounds like a plan. So what's the prize this time?"

"What was it last time?" Korsack asked.

"Losers by the winner's a beer." Frost smiled.

"Oh that's right." He nodded.

"Maybe we should raise the stakes a little." Frost wiggled his eyebrows at Jane.

Jane raised a playful eyebrow toward Frost. "Oh by all means, do tell."

He leaned in toward Jane. "We could always pick up where we left off last night—" he whispered.

Jane felt a blush creep up her cheeks. Sweet Jesus. "Not with that crappy arm of yours-" her voice trailed off/

"Jane I found something very-" Maura stopped dead in her tracks. "Peculiar."

At the sound of Maura's voice Jane jumped away from Frost. She cleared her throat. "Hey Maur. What uh-what did you find?"

Maura gave Korsack a sideways glance. The older detective chuckled. "Should I come back later? She asked.

Jane shook her head. "No. we were just talking."

"Oh I see." She made her way over to the detective; a manila folder, folded under her arm. "Here I found traces of Ethylene glycol in Mr. Vice's system."

"Antifreeze." Jane said sitting up. "So he was poisoned." She skimmed through the file. "What did you find in his stomach?"

"Page 4." Maura said smiling.

"Ah. Thanks." She read the list aloud. "Ground beef, partial segment of procured flour and-ok pasta and bisporus brunnescens?" she looked at the doctor.

"Mushroom." She said.

"Ok so our guy had mushroom pasta for dinner, that just so happened to be laced with antifreeze."

"It's safe to say that that is indeed how he died."

"Ok so now we have to-" she stopped for a moment. "Wait a second. Frost!" she turned her attention to her partner. "What did Mrs. Vice say she made for dinner the night he died?"

Frost smiled. "Mushroom linguini with red sauce. His favorite."

Jane smiled. "Let's go!"

The two of the grabbed their coats and hastened out the bullpen door. When the two were finally out of ear shot Maura turned to Korsack, eyebrow raised. "You have precisely five minutes to tell me what I missed."

Korsack laughed. "You didn't miss much. Frost said something about Peanut butter and fluff sandwiches and then they were both lost in each other's eyes." He batted his eyelashes dramatically.

Maura rolled her eyes. "Could you give me a call when they get back?" she asked.

"Why don't you just call Jane?" the older detective asked.

"It's not Jane to whom I'm referring Sergeant." She said matter-of- factly.

"It's not?" he paused while Maura shook her head. "Ah, well alright then. I'll make sure he gets the message. " he said hesitantly.

"Thank you Vince." And with that, she headed to the elevator. I don't care what you say Jane. I will read that journal.

Alright! I know this was short, but it was necessary to the progression of the story! Chapter 6 will be up VERY VERY SOON! Seriously! I promise! Please, as always, review! Feel free to yell and/ or scream at me!
