I can't believe what I've read about our favorite show. Rizzoli and Isles is coming to an end. I knew this would happen eventually but it wasn't any less heartbreaking. I WASN'T READY!

With that said here is the anticipated third chapter of 8 Long Seconds.

Enjoy!

"Oh my gosh, gurl! I am sooooo sorry." Misha said as she opened the door to their hotel room. Dropping her bag and car keys on the floor next to the closing door she walked into the living space and saw Maura sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with her cell.

"It better have been worth it, ditching me and all." The blonde deadpanned.

"It so wasn't. That dude sucked. I think riding broncos really screwed with his dick. I totally fell asleep not even half way through."

Maura looked up to Misha and chuckled. "Ha! That's what you get for leaving your friend to all those cowboys." She flashed her one dimple and looked down to her phone again. "I have to admit though, I had a wonderful time. I don't know if you saw or not but I spent my time with Jane Rizzoli."

"Yeah?" Misha grinned and plopped down beside the nurse. "How'd that go?"

"Well, she wants to take me out on a date tonight."

"AWESOME!" Misha engulfed Isles in a hug, a tight one.

"Okay okay." She giggled and held up her cell, "She say's she's picking me up at 7 and to dress warm and comfortable."

"Oooh, girl you have got to give me all the details after you get home."

"You know I will, Mish."

"Jane! It was good to hear from you this morning." The thundering voice boomed as he walked through the door of the local coffee shop. He walked up to the table Rizzoli was sitting at, spun the wooden chair around and straddled it, resting his arms over the back of the chair after he tossed the folder on the table.

"I was eager to call you, Vince, and get everything started. I'm excited to be apart of Korzone Jeans, but since I've never had a sponsor I do need to know what I have to do."

"Well, little lady, all you have to do is wear our name and our products, as well as vocally promote the company. If you do well, people will buy the name on your shirt. When they buy from us, you get paid. You can use that money to pay bills, get you to your next competition, or just buy more gear. Anything that has our name on it is yours for free."

"Wow, that's one hell of a deal."

"Hell yeah, it is. Now all I have to do is get you to read over and sign a few things and we can head over to the store and pick you out a couple outfits." Korsak beamed with his own excitement. He knew Rizzoli was the golden ticket, mostly because she was a woman in a man's field.

"Awesome." Jane took the folder after it was opened and started reading through and signing her name to each sheet that commanded a signature.

When that was done, the two stood up and shook each other's hands. "Thank you again for this opportunity, Vince. I won't let you down."

"I know you wont. I've seen you in action and we can truly benefit each other. I have faith in you, Rizzoli."

Jane strutted down the street, like she had just won the lottery and in a way she kinda did. She was almost to her truck when her mood was ruined.

"Well well well. Look who it is." Joe Grant grinned as he walked up from the opposite way on the sidewalk. "The wannabe man."

"I suggest you shut up, Grant."

"Oooh dem's fight'n words." The obnoxious bullrider laughed as he came around the front of Jane's truck. He looked at the bag in her hand and smirked. "Ain't that store a lil too expensive for ya, Gayzzoli?"

"Actually, it just became very affordable. Korzone Jeans just became my sponsor." With his silence as a comeback, Rizzoli chuckled and opened her door and got in, bag in hand. As she started pulling out of the parking space she glanced at her competition and saw him cussing. There were quite a few men that would be jealous about her landing Korzone.

Walking into the dated house, Jane went straight for her bedroom and set her bag down on her bed. Walking across the hall to the bathroom she was caught by her youngest brother, Tommy.

"Hey Janie. How goes it?" He greeted his sister with a kiss to the cheek and leaned against the door frame of the bathroom as she leaned against the sink.

"It goes really good. I landed a hot sponsor and I've got a date to get ready for."

"Whoa! A date?"

"Shhh. I don't want Ma to know yet. I don't even know if the date will go well, so don't want to get her hopes up. Though this girl is gorgeous and amazing in every way." The last sentence Tommy could tell Jane was smitten.

"Okay, I won't say a word. Congrats on both though." He smirked. "I'm going to go out and feed the horses, let me know when you leave so I can come back in and watch after Ma, will ya."

"Of course, thanks lil bro."

There was a knock on the hotel room door at 7pm sharp. Misha was sitting on the bed watching TV and got up with a skip to her step and looked out the peephole. "Hot damn." She whispered. Opening the door, Jane looked even better fullsize than through the hole.

The cowgirl stood there, one dimple showing, in her tight jeans, black boots, blue button up shirt and a new black hat. To top it off she had a single rose in her hand.

"Howdy, you must be Misha." Jane said as she stuck her hand out to the friend. "I'm Jane Rizzoli."

"Oh, goodness." She shook Jane's hand and looked her over. "Maura is one lucky bitch. They sure know how to grow 'em in Texas."

Rizzoli laughed softly and then something else took her attention. "Maura… you look beautiful." The nurse had on designer jeans with a light pink sweater and her white heels.

Misha moved to the side and winked at her co-worker.

"Thank you, as do you. Blue is definitely your color, Jane." She stepped forward as the rider offered the flower to the blonde. "This is beautiful." She brought it to her nose and smiled.

"Are you ready?" the question was polite.

"Yes."

Yup, you gotta wait for the date for one more chapter. :D
