Newspaper Clippings: Unwelcome Attention
A Rizzoli & Isles drabble by Gigi
A/N: LA LA LA THIS MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY GUYS.
Jane was going to shoot someone. All the catcalls and the people who looked for just a little too long. So she was in a tank top, and suddenly that reminded everybody in the precinct that she is, in fact, a woman?
She was in a tank top for ten minutes. Because her mother had made her spill coffee on herself, and it was the only way to keep from burning the absolute crap out of her stomach! But of course, the entire homicide unit decided it would be a good time for coffee. And so they saw the Chief Medical Examiner helping the only female homicide detective in the unit take off her shirt. She was lucky Cavanaugh wasn't there, otherwise she'd probably be in his office right then for a lecture about maintaining a professional environment.
Storming in the ME's office, she closed the door behind her and put her hands on her hips. She now wore a white button-up Maura happened to have stashed in her office. "I am going to kill my mother," she glowered. Maura looked up from her paperwork and chuckled. "It's not funny, Maura. My entire unit saw me in a tank top!"
Now Maura's quiet chuckles became an outright laugh. "It's not like Frost and Korsak haven't seen you in a tank top before, Jane," she pointed out.
"Yeah, Frost and Korsak are one thing," Jane brushed off. "Everybody in Homicide except for Frankie and Cavanaugh is whole other matter altogether!"
"Why, because they're men who realized you're not actually one, too?" Maura quirked an eyebrow. "I'd be flattered."
Jane stepped forward and leaned on her desk. "Their attentions are unwelcome, Maura."
Maura nodded emphatically. "Good, because half of them are married and the other half are far too old for you." She wrinkled her nose at the thought of Jane with one of her fellow detectives. Seriously, Frost was the only acceptable one, but he was too young.
Jane bit her lip, and suddenly her eyes swam with uncertainty. "That's..." she started, before taking a deep breath and starting again, "That's not the only reason their attentions are unwelcome." Her voice came out in a husky whisper.
If Jane was saying what Maura thought she was saying...well she didn't get the chance to find out because they both got called away on a new body. Maura wanted to chew nails for the interruption.
