"I'm going with her!" Jane shouted as she climbed into the back of the ambulance.
"We'll meet you at the hospital after we finish up here," Korsak said as he heard Frost yelling at a cop.
"How could you have let her go? What part of don't turn your back on people do you NOT understand?" Frost yelled furiously.
"Frost, buddy calm down, it could have happened to anyone," Korsak said grabbing Frost's navy blue arm.
"But it happened to him, he turned his back," Frost spat growing more rigid.
"Maura is safe. Jane is safe. We will find her, now let's finish up here, so we can go to the hospital," Korsak said pushing his hands deep into his pockets. Frost nodded and continued collecting the evidence they were able too.
Meanwhile in the ambulance Jane did not stop staring at Maura.
"Let me look at your head," One of the medics said trying to push Jane's bushy hair aside to see the wound.
"I'm fine," Jane huffed not breaking eye contact with the 'sleeping' beauty in front of her.
"Please Det. Rizzoli, you could have a concussion," The small medic tried to argue.
"No, I am declining medical help. I'll get it checked out once I know Maura is okay," Jane spat. The small medic regained her composure from Jane's words as she went back to helping her partner get Maura's vitals stable. Jane watched Maura's chest rise and fall very slowly.
"Can she breathe?" Jane asked inaudible.
"She can but she is having trouble, the current stopped her heartbeat a few times, which could cause some permanent damage and it looks like she was hit in her chest a few times. Maybe she was kicked," The small medic continued trailing. Jane looked mortified at the idea of Maura helpless. "My guess is a punctured lung," The medic said as they tore the doors open and pulled Maura out on a gurney. A nurse grabbed Jane's arm and helped her out of the ambulance as Maura was wheeled down the hallway.
"You can't go in there," A red headed nurse said as she put her hand on Jane's shoulder. She's going in for surgery. You can wait in the waiting room and I promise to keep you updated," The redhead assured her. Jane nodded and sat down in one of the seats as another nurse came up to her.
"May I please check your head? You might need stitches?" The nurse asked. Jane stared off into space thinking. Come on Maur, hold in there. You are strong. I never got to tell you how much I care about you. I never go to show you the world. What stop it Rizzoli, she's not into you. You're not into her. Fuck it, you're into her, you're in to her badly. Come on Maur, please hold in there. Jane's thoughts trailed. "Ma'am," The nurse asked again.
Jane snapped back into reality. "Yeah fine," Jane nodded still thinking.
"Come with me, I think you need stitches," The nurse said. Jane groaned and complied. As they were walking down the bright white halls Korsak and Frankie arrived.
"What are you guys doing here?" Jane asked stopping in the hallway.
"We came to check on you Janie," Korsak said placing a hand on Jane's dark grey suit jacket back.
"I'm fine, and I appreciate you guys dropping by, but if all honesty, I'd feel much better if you guys were looking for Davis. I'll stay here after I get my head checked out, and then I'll stay with Maura," Jane smiled exhausted.
"Alright, if you need anything you call us okay?" Korsak more stated then asked. Jane nodded.
"And I didn't tell Ma, about you, I just told her you were here with Maura. I think she's making some of Grandma's Gnocchi for Maura so she doesn't have to cook," Frankie said putting his hand on his sister's arm.
"That sounds like Ma," Jane said as she was motioned to follow the nurse down the hallway. "I guess I have to get this checked out now, keep me in the loop," Jane said as her boots clicked down the hall as she followed the nurse. "And guys, catch that son of a bitch," Jane hummed in her low husky voice before disappearing in to a room.
"Any hits of where she might be?" Frankie asked as they walked in to the pit to see Frankie sitting at his desk.
"Officer Lampea said before he let her escape custody she was talking about some apartment. Units are there. I think she just said that to throw us of guard. But I was able to get it out of her partner, and she said something about a home in Cambridge. I'm guessing if she's hiding out, or planning anything she's there," Frost rattled off as if he was telling a speech he had rehearsed a hundred times.
"Great, Frankie and I will head up there, you stay here, and let us know if you find anything else," Korsak said as he turned on his heels to follow Frankie out the door. "And Frost, Good work," Korsak said before disappearing.
"This is a nice neighborhood," Frankie said as he turned down the suspect's street.
"Yeah it is, and I bet the neighbors would realize if someone showed up that wasn't usually here," Korsak said as he parked a few houses down from the suspect's family home.
"They always come home to mommy and daddy," Frankie said as he got out of the car. "Should we ask around first do you think?" He asked meeting Korsak at his door.
"No, only if the parents deny seeing her, otherwise it may give her a heads up we are here. We have patrol on the corner. We can give them a heads up as soon as and if the parents deny seeing her," Korsak said walking towards the suspect's house. Frankie was right behind him as he radioed their location into dispatch.
"How is she doing? Can I see her now?" Jane bombarded the doctor as he came out of the surgery room.
"You can she's asking for you. However, I must warn you, she is very hazy. The anesthetic has not warn off yet. And she is in a lot of pain. She had a collapsed lung along with a few broken ribs. No drastic brain damage. Luckily the volts of shock she received were not high enough," The grey haired doctor explained as he motioned for Jane to follow him into her room. Jane eagerly walked into see Maura attached to many machines.
"Hey," Maura whispered as she saw Jane come in.
"Hey Maur, How are you?" Jane asked as she slowly walked towards Maura's bed.
"I'm not sick Jane, and I don't bite," Maura said as she patted a spot on the bed.
'I'd let you bite me,' Jane thought. 'Not the time, or place Jane!' Jane thought again bringing herself back into reality.
"I know, I just, I don't want to hurt you," Jane thought as she ran her hand through her dark curls.
"You won't hurt me Jane. You know a person heals quicker if they have company and are in positive spirits," Maura said as she tried to make room for Jane.
"Don't move, there's enough room. And even in the hospital you are still Maura Freaking Google Isles," Jane smiled. Maura tried to laugh but soon realized it hurt.
"I'm glad you are here. I hate the hospitals as ironic as that may seem. The doctors hold people's lives in their hands. I couldn't do that. I'd rather handled their bodies once they are already dead," Maura rambled. Jane just smiled and listened as if a child was telling a story.
"I'm glad to be here," Jane smiled as she took Maura's hand in her own and rubbed the smooth skin.
"The doctor said I can leave to night on account someone would be staying with me. I will have problems changing alone because of my broken ribs, and I'll be very sore. They want someone there to help me with basic tasks or incase I fall or anything, and I have to say I agree with the doctors, so I was wondering if you'd stay with me," Maura asked looking at Jane tiredly.
"Of course I will Maur, you know that. Just get some rest, and we will check you out after you sleep some," Jane said brushing Maura's hair back.
"I'd like to leave now, and just get rest in my bed. This bed is far too uncomfortable. And these sheets, just think of how many people have laid in these same sheets," Maura said scrunching her face. Jane chuckled and nodded.
"I'll get the doctor," Jane smiled as she walked out of the room.
"Boston Police," Frankie said pounding on the door. There was no answer.
"Try again," Korsak said. Frankie tried again and nothing. It was silent outside; just the cool winter air.
"They left like an hour ago," A man said walking his dog. Frankie looked at Korsak and raised an eyebrow.
"Did you know how many people left?" Korsak asked walking towards the man.
"Mr. and Mrs. Davis left with their son, and I believe their daughter was in town visiting them. I imagine they will be in soon," The man said. Frankie looked at Korsak who nodded.
"And by then she will have been long gone," Korsak whispered to Frankie.
"If I leave our card with you, can you call us as soon as they get home?" Korsak asked as he dug his hand deep into his pea coat pulling out a business card.
"Is everything alright?" The man asked.
"Yes, we just have a few questions about something that happened recently," Korsak said handing the man his card.
"I'll give you a call," The man said as he continued walking his dog.
"Well what now?" Frankie asked as a gust of wind slammed into their bodies.
"We head back, and wait," Korsak said burying his face in his jacket trying to stay warm.
"You're all good Maura," Jane said as she grabbed the last of Maura's things.
"You really didn't have to buy me new sweats from the gift shop, I could have put on my own clothes," Maura said as she used Jane's shoulder as leverage as she stood up.
"You don't want to put those clothes back on, they are all dirty. Plus it's really cold out," Jane said as she helped Maura to a wheel chair.
"Frankie left my car outside, so we can head straight to your place, unless you need to stop anywhere?" Jane asked as she wheeled Maura down the hallway.
"No, I'm okay. I just want to go take a warm bath and sleep," Maura said as her face was kissed with the cold air. 'Really Maur, a bath? I don't think I'm gonna survive helping you." Jane thought as she helped Maura into her car.
"Sounds good to me," Jane said climbing into the driver's seat.
"How selfish of me, I forgot to ask. How's your head?" Maura asked looking at Jane's bandage.
"It's fine. Just a cut. It will heal in a few days," Jane smiled as she cranked the heat in the car. The rest of the ride was silent. Maura started to doze off as Jane rounded to Maura's street. Jane pulled into Maura's driveway and climbed out of her car. She noticed Maura was still sleeping and went to unlock the front door before coming back to get Maura. She carefully scooped the honey blonde up in to her arms and carried her inside. Jane sat Maura down before tripping over Bass.
"Damn it," Jane swore as Maura woke up.
"Are you okay?" Maura asked looking around trying to remember how she got here.
"Yeah, I just tripped over Bass. He's okay," Jane reassured Maura.
"How did we get inside?" Maura asked standing up slowly. Jane went to her side and allowed Maura to hold on to her for support.
"I carried you; I didn't want to wake you. But obviously that didn't work out too well," Jane blushed as she looked at Bass again.
"Jane you should have just woken me up," Maura said.
"It's all good. I didn't want too," Jane said as she walked Maura to her bedroom.
"I think I'm going to have to pass on the bath, I'm surprisingly tired," Maura said yawning on cue.
"Your medicine hasn't worn off," Jane said as she helped Maura into bed.
"Can you help me put on some comfier clothes at least?" Maura asked pointing to a night shirt on her chair.
"You sleep in just a night shirt?" Jane asked surprised.
"Yeah, what did you think I slept in?" Maura chuckled.
"I don't know some expensive silk matching pajama set?" Jane questioned as she grabbed the shirt.
"Well I have those too, but right now I just want a tee shirt," Maura smiled. Jane walked over and helped Maura lift the hoodie over her head that Jane had gotten her at the hospital. Jane tried not to directly stare at the creamy bare skin in front of her, but she couldn't stop. "Now can you help me put on the shirt before I get cold?" Maura asked crossing her arms over her bare chest and pretending to shiver. Jane nodded quickly as she slid the oversized tee shirt onto Maura. Maura smiled and pulled her pants off before laying down and trying to cover up. Jane helped her and turned off her light before grabbing a spare blanket and heading out the door.
"Where are you going?" Maura asked looking at Jane confused.
"Uh to sleep, on your couch?" Jane questioned.
"Don't be silly. There is plenty of room in my bed. Plus it's not like we haven't slept together before," Maura said looking at the empty space. 'Yeah with you dressed like that, there will be very little sleeping.' Jane thought.
"Uh, sure. Lemme just call Frankie and ask him to go get Jo Friday, and let him know that you are alright," Jane smiled. Maura nodded her head and watched Jane leave the room. Maura stared at the ceiling thinking about the past events. Before she knew it Jane was back in the room. She sat at the end of the bed and kicked of her boats before climbing into bed.
"If you want something more comfortable, there's another tee shirt in the second drawer to your left. Then tomorrow we can go to your place and get you some more clothes," Maura said pointing to her mahogany dresser. Jane smiled and pulled her shirt and bra off. She felt eyes on her back, but it didn't phase her. She pulled the tee shirt over her head before undoing her dark pants that accompanied her suit and climbed into bed.
"Goodnight Maur, If you need anything please don't hesitate to wake me," Jane said as she curled up.
"Thank you Jane," Maura smiled as she tried to roll on her side to see Jane. "I can't lay on this side. It has my broken ribs," Maura sounded defeated.
"Just get comfortable Maura," Jane said as she heard Maura shiver. Jane being gutsy wrapped her arm gently around Maura's waist and held her close.
"Thanks, I was really cold, and I can't really scrunch up," Maura said taking Jane's hand in her own before drifting quickly into a deep somber. Jane just smiled and took in the doctor's scent and enjoyed the body heat. It wasn't too long before Jane had drifted into sleep herself. It hadn't been long before Jane shot up to see Maura had woken.
"What's wrong?" Jane asked sliding her pants on.
"I heard something," Maura said nervous.
"It's probably nothing Maura, try and go back to sleep. I'll check it out, and be right back okay?" Jane asked rubbing sleep from her eyes. Maura smiled and watched the brunette disappear down the hallway. Maura kept her eyes glued to the door as she pulled the covers up trying to stay warm. It wasn't long before Jane was walking in and undoing the button on her pants.
"It was just Bass, he knocked his food dish over," Jane smiled as she climbed back into bed.
"Thank you, I guess I'm just jumpy," Maura said as she welcomed Jane's body heat.
"It's understandable," Jane said snuggling against Maura. "Try and get some more sleep," Jane said as she listened to the doctors breaths grow longer and deeper before falling asleep herself.
A door slowly crept open and a figure appeared from the closet. "You got her back once, but can you do it again?"
