Sorry for the delay everyone! Work has been getting in the way. Enjoy!


"Maura!" Korsak had rushed over to the doctor as quickly as his legs could carry him and he was able to stop her fall, at least partially. He fell to the ground with her, but was able to keep her head from bouncing on the concrete floor of the bullpen. He tried to wake her, but she was out cold. He lightly tapped her cheeks to no avail. He yelled out for help, and saw Cavanaugh's door burst open.

"The doc passed out. Get the first aid kit! I need some alcohol!"

The detective lifted himself off the ground and grabbed a hold of her ankles and slightly elevated her legs, hoping it would rush enough blood back to her brain to help her slip into wakefulness. Cavanaugh returned seconds later and helped Vince get Maura's upper body off the ground. He opened the bottle of alcohol and carefully brought it up to her nose. Maura's eyes shot open and she immediately began coughing.

"Doc, are you ok?"

"Vince, what happened? Where's Jane?"

"Jane is missing Maura. I had just told you that when you passed out. I have every unit in Boston out looking for her. I have to get to the hospital to check on Frost. He was rushed into surgery, and he may not make it. He's the only one that can give us a clue as to what happened and where Jane was taken or who she was taken by."

"WHAT?! Frost got shot and Rizzoli is missing?! Why didn't you tell me about this Vince?!" Cavanaugh demanded.

"I had just found out what happened when Dr. Isles passed out. I wasn't about to leave her here in that state. Maura, are you alright? Can you stand?"

"Yes, I think I can."

Both men grabbed an arm, helped her up, and led her to a nearby chair. It took a couple of moments for her to regain full consciousness.

"Vince, I'm going to the hospital with you."

"No, you can't. Not after this. You have to stay here and try to relax. You need to get the blood flow back to normal in your body and you're not going to achieve that by going with me to the hospital. I'll get Angela to come sit with you." Korsak stated as he pulled out his phone and began to dial for Angela down at the café.

"Vincent Korsak, if you think that I'm going to sit here and wait for news to come in about Frost and about Jane, you have got another thing coming. If Barry is the only one that can provide us with any kind of leads or answers as to Jane's whereabouts, then I'm going with you. Jane would want us there, he is her partner. I'm sure he did everything he could to protect her; I'm sure they both did everything they could to protect one another."

"Maura…"

"No Vince, I'm going! I can't sit around here not knowing what's going on, I'll lose my mind… please?" Maura begged.

Korsak thought for a split second, before reluctantly nodding his head and motioning for her to rise as he extended his arm. "Let's go. We can't waste another minute." He turned to Cavanaugh. "I'll call you the moment I know anything. Frost will probably either still be in the OR or knocked out by sedatives by the time I get there, but it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. We need to get something on Jane, anything that would give us a lead.


Korsak rushed into the emergency room at Boston Memorial, Maura at his side. They both headed up to the nurses' station and asked for Frost only to be turned away; he was still in surgery and it was still touch and go. Since he had given Korsak clearance with regards to medical records (the trio had signed the necessary documents so that they could all get information), he was allowed to be filled in with everything that was going on. A doctor had come out of the OR to fill him in on the progress.

"Detective Korsak? I'm Dr. Turner, one of the general surgeons operating on Detective Frost. The cardiothoracic surgeon is operating on him as we speak. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it isn't looking good. There were two bullets that hit is chest. One of them pierced his lung and is now lodged in the heart. The problem is that it is too close to the aorta and he is at risk of bleeding out. He's already coded twice on the table, and we've managed to resuscitate him. The other bullet hit just above the heart. That was the easier one to deal with, but he still has lost a tremendous amount of blood. I'll try to keep you posted, but as of now I have to get back in there and assist. We'll do everything we can, but I ask that you prepare yourself."

Korsak stood shocked, feet glued to the floor and unable to move. Not only did they not have a clue as to Jane's whereabouts, but now Frost was battling the thin line between life and death. He'd always seen the two of them as his children, and the severity of the situation began hitting him hard.

"Thank… thank you for updating us doctor."

Maura had stood by his side, absorbing everything the doctor had said to the older detective. With each word spoken, her heart skipped a beat. Barry was in bad shape. The loss of that much blood, with the bullet still in his heart, well things weren't looking good. Still, she couldn't help but think of Jane and how they had no idea what had happened to her. She slowly turned to Korsak and put a hand on his forearm, wanting to get his attention gently.

"I'm sure that Barry is going to be alright Vince. This is one of the best hospitals in the country. The doctors will do everything in their power to make sure that Barry makes it out of this alive."

"What if he doesn't make it Maura? I know he's not my partner, but he's like a son to me. Both he and Jane are like my children, they're my family. I can't lose them both." Korsak had always been a kind and gentle man. His soft side showed as his eyes began to water with unshed tears.

"You're not going to lose either of them. Barry is going to recover, and we will do everything to find Jane. She is the love of my life; I'm not letting her go. I don't care what I have to do. I will leave no place unsearched. I will not rest until I find her and she is amongst us safe and sound once again."

A nurse came up to where Korsak and Maura sat, eyes firmly on the blonde. He was dressed the part, but he certainly didn't look like he fit in with the rest of the staff.

"Excuse me, are you Dr. Maura Isles?"

"Who are you? What do you want with her?" Vince stated, getting up instantly and stepping in front of her while reaching for his gun. There was something about this guy he didn't like.

"Who I am isn't important. I'm going to reach into the front pocket of my top, and pull out a piece of paper. I have a message for Dr. Isles."

"Carefully, keep your other hand where I can see it."

The man slowly raised his hand to the pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper. He extended his hand towards the doctor. Maura took it hesitantly. The moment the paper was out of his hands he turned and hurried off, with Korsak hurrying off after him. Maura stood her ground, knowing it was better to stay there than to open herself to the possibility of being in a secluded area with someone she didn't know. Vince returned a few minutes later, out of breath.

"He's gone. What's on that note? What does he want, money?"

"No, this isn't about money. And I don't believe this is someone who is working against us," she replied, as she handed Korsak the note. It was to the point and unsigned.

I have some information that may help you find your detective. Be at the docks at sunrise, alone.
