A/N: Hey guys. I just want to thank you all very much for all the reviews, and favs, and follows. I never expected that much! You guys definitely made me write faster!

This fic has a life of its own. Really. I can explain more here without giving spoilers, but oh well...

I also want to say that I usually think about a plot and over think and change and write and translate and spell-check. This time I'm just doing it before I give up. So I hope you like it.


Kurt knocked out the last security guy on top of the wood table in the conference room. He knew Jane had left the room a few minutes before, following Merrozo down the stairs.

Weller looked outside the window and was surprised to see the businessman running towards the pier. Esteban Merrozo would be trapped in less than a minute. Unless this was an escape route. From the window of the building, Kurt saw a small boat making its way down the river.

"The suspect is running towards the pier. Send back up." Kurt alerted the team. He saw Jane tackled the businessman, and he went downstairs quickly, opening the back door with a crash. Running around the building took longer than he'd expected. Weller made a note mentally to accept Jane's invitations to her morning jogs. He wasn't going to get out of shape.

By the time he got to the pier, it was too late. He turned the corner just in time to see Merrozo pushing Jane backward.

"JANE!" Kurt yelled as the two figures fell down the river.

He ran towards the edge of the pier, just in time to see Merrozo swimming in the direction of the small boat that was waiting, a few miles from the shore.

"The suspect is running away. White boat going in a .south direction." Weller informed the others.

There was no chance of getting to Merrozo in time. Even if he tried to swim after the boat, it would be useless. It was better if Patterson could track the boat down.

"Copy that," Patterson answered.

All of that happened in less than one minute. However, it was long enough for Kurt to notice something was wrong. He started to look for Jane, but he couldn't see her through the dark water, neither could he see bubbles of air pointing to where she was underwater.

He tried to remember if Jane had ever swum before. The woman could speak a dozen languages, she could fly a chopper, land an airplane, but couldn't she swim? Kurt didn't think about the matter for long. He removed his vest and his shoes and jumped in the river.

At first, he couldn't see anything, he could only feel the biting cold water on his skin. Suddenly his eyes were just used to it and he was able to distinguish a few shapes underwater. His body didn't feel cold anymore. The only thing that matter was Jane. He had to find Jane. He wouldn't give up on her. Not again. Not ever.

Kurt swam for what felt like hours. The air was starting to run short in his lungs, but he would go after Jane until his last breath. In reality, it only took him a few minutes to see a black figure a little bit deeper in the river. But the cold, the lack of air and the despair of losing Jane forever all over again made him feel like it was a lifetime swim.

Jane had her back to where Kurt was and the woman was falling deeper and deeper. It didn't look like she was trying to swim up at all.

Kurt swam until Jane, e caught her under the arm and started to make his way up. Her body was numb, and she was probably out, but that didn't mean anything. It couldn't mean anything.

He swam all the way up, holding tightly on Jane. I'm not letting you go, Jane. Stay with me. He thought over and over again.

When Weller surfaced he was relieved to see Reade and Zapata at the edge of the pier.

"READE! HELP US!" He yelled as louder as he could. Kurt could see Jane's face now, and she looked as if she was sleeping. He swam to the shore and lifted her up so Ready could pull her out of the water.

Kurt then accepted Zapata's hand as she helped him get out of the river.

"Weller, you are freezing." Kurt missed the concerned on the other woman's face. He already had his eyes on Jane, who was lying down on the concrete floor.

Kurt accidentally pushed Reade away to give first aid. He placed his ears close to Jane's face trying to see if she was still breathing.

"Stay with me, Jane." He didn't know if he was saying those words for her or himself.

Kurt then placed his right hand on the center of Jane's chest and used his left to push on top of it. He pressed down twice. Kurt tilted the woman's head back and lifted her chin. He pinched her tiny nose close and covered her mouth with his. He gave two breaths and went back to chest compression.

C'mon Jane.

Jane coughed the water out of her lungs. Kurt felt the relief immediately and approached to hug the woman.

He wasn't expecting her to flinch. Jane recoiled at his touch like a scared child and her big green eyes were blank, telling Kurt without words that something was definitely wrong.


...

"Jane" Kurt called her name again but Reade knew it would be vainly.

Jane had both of her eyes opened but she wasn't seeing what was in front of her. Her eyes were empty and all the muscles on her body were tense. Despite the cold, the woman was probably feeling, she was static, frozen in place. Reade had never seen anything like it. It was like Jane was just a body, not a person…

"What the hell just happened?" Zapata asked quietly by his side. Weller was still watching the other woman attentively. It was clear something was off.

"I don't know, but they can't stay out here for long." They had to be reasonable. Whether Jane was unresponsive or not, it was too cold outside and the couple was soaked wet. That would do them no good. "Hey, Weller. We should go."

"She needs a doctor," the boss said without taking his eyes off Jane.

"She can get medical care at the NYO."

"How far is the ambulance?" Weller asked as if he hadn't listened to what Reade had just said.

"Why would I call an ambulance?" Reade thought he had said that in a whisper only for Tasha, but Weller heard it.

"BECAUSE JANE NEEDS A DOCTOR, DAMN IT." Kurt had lost it. Read could see on the other man's face the fear and confusion. He wasn't using his reason anymore.

"We canceled back up when Merrozo escaped. No one is coming." Zapata said calmly. "It will be faster if we take Jane to the NYO. You both are freezing outside." Tasha didn't wait for an answer. She walked through where Jane was sitting lost inside her own head (if Jane was there at all), and taking her jacket off, the agent wrapped it around the other woman's shoulders. Jane stirred a little as she felt the weight of the jacket on her shoulders and look up to Tasha. "You two are freezing, we should go."

...


The ride to the NYO was quiet. Tasha noticed Weller with his jaw clenched, lost in his own thoughts. She couldn't stop herself from feeling a little bit sorry for the man. The way Jane flinched away from his touch was like Weller was trying to hurt her. Jane had never acted that way. Not even when they had found her working on a motel in New Jersey. No, this time was different. Tasha couldn't recognize a single feeling on the woman's face. Not fear. Not anger. Not anything. Jane kept her expression blank, completely emotionless.

The first time the woman had shown up naked on Time Square, at least she was scared and confused. Now, they had nothing at all.

Zapata wasn't even sure if Jane had any conscience of what was happening around her.

Weller, on the other hand, was torturing himself with his own thoughts. After so many years of working together, Tasha knew when her boss was just brooding. Even though she couldn't blame him, that wouldn't do him any good.

"Weller, you go get dry. I will take Jane to see the doctor." Tasha said as they entered the building

"There's no need…" Weller tried to argue, but Zapata cut him off.

"Yes, there is. You are soaking wet. You will freeze yourself to death if you don't take a hot shower soon."In spite of being worried about her boss health, Natasha wasn't sure if being around Jane was a good idea to Kurt at that moment. "Jane is just in shock, Weller. We couldn't have known she didn't remember how to swim. I'm sure she will be fine."

Tasha said those words out loud but she wouldn't bet on them. Jane hadn't just drowned back there. She used to be a Navy Seal! She was trained by her adopted mother since a little girl to be a soldier!

Zapata wanted to believe it was just a momentary sock, but she couldn't lie to herself. They had no clue what had just happened to Jane.


Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading this. We still have one more chapter to go!
