Thanks for the reviews. For those of you confused by Maura's actions, let's just say Jill came by to say she was sorry and Maura gave in and decided she would give her another chance. Remember Jane has not always approved of the partners Maura has chosen becasue Maura has a mind of her own. Maybe she likes the attention and maybe the idea of making Jane jealous appeals to her. And as to why she would go shopping during the work day, nothing says she has to stay in her office during her lunch break right?

Chapter 6

Jane was at the end of the counter when she saw the four men walk into the bank. They pulled the masks down before she got a good look at any of their faces. "Everybody down on the floor! Now!" One of the men jumped over the counter and went towards the back of the bank. Jane assumed he was heading for the manager's office to get to the vault. She was on the floor with the rest of them trying to hide the bulge in her coat made by her gun.

Jane watched in fear as the only guard in the bank slowly reached for his gun and she prayed he wouldn't be stupid enough to use it. But her worst fears came to fruition as the guard aimed at the closest would be robber but he was too slow. The robber shot him in the chest without hesitation. Out of reflex she rolled to her knees and took a defensive stance then felt the bullet pierce her side. She didn't know if it was a good thing that she never pulled her gun or not. Now all she needed to do is stay conscious long enough to keep her gun hidden, she fell back to the floor and pulled her jacket closed. "If anyone else wants to be a hero I would advise you against it. You see what will happen and I don't care if you're a man, woman or child. I won't hesitate to shoot you too. Everybody pull out your cell phones and place them right in front of you. In a little while I am going to give you a chance to make a phone call to one person. You can call whoever you want so think about who you want to talk to." He walked over to Jane and squatted next to her. "Does it hurt? You should have stayed on the floor. Why did you move?"

Jane was clutching her side in pain as she hissed out her words. "It was just a reflexive action to want to help an injured person. I have some medical training and it kicked in." God I hope he buys that lie because if he checks under my coat I'm dead right here.

"Ok makes sense. Want to make your call now?"

"Can I make more than one?"

"Sure you can make all the calls you want because it won't make a difference in the end."

"You're going to kill all of us aren't you? If that's the case why bother with the masks? Why not let us see what you look like as you shoot us? You're the ones that hit the bank on the south side last week aren't you?"

He laughed at her. "You're a tough one aren't you. I guess to be a medic you would have to be." She didn't bother to correct his misconception that she was a medic. "Yes we are the ones that hit that other bank. THat one was a test run for the real one, this one. But to answer your question, we always leave one or two people alive to tell the story of what went on here. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones. Now make your call." He stood up and walked away.

She pushed the speed dial and listened to it ring over and over again and was disappointed when it went to voicemail. What the hell, Maura always answered her phone. What was she doing that would cause her to not answer her phone in the middle of the day. She tried not to think about the possibilities. She took as deep of a breath as she could and started her message. Her voice was raspier than normal and her breathing was becoming labored but she tried to hide it from Maura as best as she could. "Maura its Jane. I just wanted to say I'm sorry about this morning… shit this isn't something I wanted to say in a voicemail…but I'm sorry…if Jill is what makes you happy then I'm glad. I wanted to be the one that made you happy…I wish you felt the same way. I called to say good-bye. I love you. Bye." She hung up the phone and tried her hardest not to pass out. She had one more call to make. She pushed another speed dial and waited for someone to answer. "Hey Korsak its Jane."

"Jane what's the matter?" Korsak signaled to Frost he didn't like the way Jane sounded and then he put her on speaker phone.

"I guess I picked…a bad time…to go to the bank."

"Is it being robbed? Are you ok? Any injuries?"

"I've been shot in the side and the guard is dead. They are letting us make as many calls as we want…SHIT!"

"Jane what happened?" Korsak yelled into the receiver as he heard the shots in the background. "Jane talk to me."

"They just shot two of the tellers. They've got us all…lying on the floor… and he just shot. two of them... in the head. There are four men. One went to the…back of the bank." She was finding it harder and harder to take a breath but she had to give Korsak the information he needed.

"Jane we're on our way. Frost already called for ambulances and he's got everyone here moving. Stay on the line with me Jane. What else can you tell me?" He just wanted to keep her talking.

"There's one watching…the front door…but they don't seem to be…in any hurry. They don't seem interested in the money. The other two…are watching the rest of us… they're the ones doing the shooting. I guess their job is to kill us. I think…they're going to…kill all of us."

"Jane don't you dare give up, you keep fighting."

"They don't know I'm a cop…they haven't seen…my gun yet. I may have to use it soon. Can't let them…shoot anyone else." She was fighting to keep her eyes open. "Korsak…do me a favor."

"Sure anything."

"Tell Maura I'm sorry and I wanted to be the one."

"No you can tell her yourself when this is all over with. Don't you quit on me now Rizzoli. Don't you dare die on me and force me to face your mother all by myself. Hang in there Jane we're out front now and they're trying to figure out how to approach this."

"Did anybody call Maura? We're going to need her here. She didn't answer…when I tried to call her."

"You called her before you called me and she didn't answer? She wasn't in her office when I went to return your report." Korsak

"She's with Jill." Jane couldn't hide the hurt in her voice. Korsak couldn't think of anything to say. "Korsak, you still there?"

"Yeah Jane I'm here." He heard another shot in the background then he heard multiple shots ring out. All of the sudden everything went silent. "Jane! Jane can you hear me? Jane answer your god damn phone!"

Jane's voice came back on the line but weaker than before. "Korsak get in here now. We need help fast! It's all clear to come in."

"Are you sure?"

"Get in here now we need..." She passed out before she could say anything more. She didn't hear the front doors crashing open or the screaming survivors or the cops trying to figure out what was what inside the bank. Korsak and Frost found Jane at the end of the counter where she had fallen and for the first time Frost didn't lose his lunch when he knelt down next to her and checked for a pulse.

"She's still alive, where the hell are the EMT's?" He saw them walk through the broken front entrance. "Hey we need help over here! Office down. Damn there's a lot of blood." The medic knelt down beside him and started working on Jane. He started an IV and did what he could to stem the flow of blood. Frost helped load her onto the gurney. Jane regained consciousness as they started wheeling her towards the door, and she looked around for Korsak.

"Korsak!" He was by her side instantly. She looked up at him. "I just want her to be happy."

"Ok I won't punch her out, I'll leave that to you." Jane smiled up at him before she passed out again.
