3 Eye Of The Storm

''What the-'' Jane looked down, into the dark waters and saw the slight flutter of the surface. ''Crap!'' She took off her blazer and heard the approaching footsteps. A few men from the cleaning crew had been attracted by the noise, like moths to flame. Her mind raced as she got rid of her blazer and shoes. ''I need some light! I need some light here!'' she yelled and heard the panicked voices as the crew ran back to bring the searchlights.

Jane swallowed hard and jumped. The water surface hit her hard, knocking the wind out of her. And seconds after that the cold came, soaking her clothes, making her shirt stick to her skin. ''Okay... okay...'' she panted. She took in a deep breath, and dived, becoming barely aware of the bright searchlight, lightening everything around her, just enough for her to make out shapes and dimension. There was a human like form, slowly sinking in, about twelve feet below her. It had to be Maura.

Jane's frantic swimming soon cleared the distance between them, but at that moment she realised she had been out of breath long ago. She felt her heart hopelessly slam on her chest as she watched the air bubbles coming out of her nose and grabbed a fistful of something that seemed like clothing. She dedicated her last remaining conscious thoughts into pulling the unwilling body up, and surface.

The last thing she saw was a troop of people watching them from the concrete platform, one of them throwing a life ring, on which she held on tight for dear life, unable to control her body spasms, caused from the intense cold. After that she slid into a half conscious state where she could only tell where her body was and what it was doing, but wasn't quite able to control it at will. She felt her hand pull the still body close to her chest, keeping both of their heads above the dark waters. Something dark threatened to swallow her and she was too tired to fight it. She gave up, and gave in.

When she came round again, she was lying on the concrete platform, clothes drenched. She rolled herself up onto a sitting position and stated coughing. Korsak put a hand on her back, making her turn to face him. When she saw him she pulled back startled to see him so close. ''For... God's sake Korsak, don't do that again!''

''Hey... easy Jane... do you think you can get up?'' He watched her frown.

''Get-... why?'' She looked at herself and yelped. ''Oh shoot... where's Maura?!''

''She's okay... the paramedics just took her.''

''What?!'' She grabbed his hand and got up, surprised by how much her limbs hurt. ''Was she okay?''

''Yep. Just unconscious. Get up, I'm gonna take you to get checked as well.'' He looked at her questioningly. ''Need help?''

Jane shook her head and got into the passenger seat of Korsak's car, knowing she would leave it soaked when she left. Korsak didn't seem to mind. She lowered her head. ''Hey Vince?'' she said, when he stepped on the gas. She just noticed his large coat wrapped around her.

''Yeah?''

Jane sunk deeper into the coat. ''Was Maura really okay?''

''Thanks to you...she was.'' he said quietly, as he drove off. ''An ambulance came and took her, they said they would call another for you, but I told them I will take you myself.''

She nodded. ''Thank you.''

''Nothing Jane. I know you would hate my guts if you woke in some kind of hospital bed.'' Jane couldn't do anything but nod again. Waking in a hospital bed had been rather unpleasant after the attack in the station... and after confronting Hoyt as well.

Korsak cleared his throat, snapping her out of her memory trip. ''I was called by a guy from the cleaning crew. Officer Rizzoli is escorting Dr Isles to the hospital right now. Frost is heading to the hospital. We're gonna put a couple of uniforms outside her door until she leaves.'' Jane went silent and he stopped talking. He looked at her and found out she had fell into an exhausted slumber. He sighed. They seemed to be in the eye of the storm right now, but that storm was rapidly moving, and would break out any minute. Someone had just tried to kill Maura Isles.
