Winegirl wanted Jill tp get a beat down but I have decided that at this point she doesn't have the guts to face either one of our girls so here is the last chapter minus anyone else getting hurt. I am working on another story and hope to get it to ya'll soon. Thank you for you reviews and I am glad I could give you a story that most of you seemed to have enjoyed.
Chapter 10
"Jan and her husband Jake have been my friends for years and she was the one that turned the other way when I snuck in to check on you before they took you into surgery. She's the head trauma nurse here at Mass General, people fear her." Everyone turned when they heard the door open and in walked a very petite woman in scrubs. "Speak of the devil. Jan this is Jane, you've already met Angela and Frank Rizzoli. Jane this is Jan.
Maura watched as Jane sixed her up. "She has people afraid of her?" Jane looked at the small woman that now stood beside Maura. "She doesn't look like she could hurt a fly."
"Maura you haven't told her?"
"Well Jan I was just now telling the Rizzoli's about you."
"Tell us what Maura?" Jane asked.
"Two years ago Jan was the runner up at the National Karate Championship. At your best she would have you flat on your back in a matter of seconds. I've watched her take on men hyped up on PCP in the emergency room and win."
Jane looked at her with a new sense of respect. "I've had to do that on the streets and that's no easy task. I was thrown out a 2nd floor window by a guy who later said he'd only done a little PCP. It took three guys to subdue him after I got him off me." Maura gave Jane a surprised look, she had never heard that story and she wondered how many others she would be hearing in the future. "That was before I joined homicide." Jane said when she saw the look Maura gave her.
"Yeah but they didn't have a syringe full of sedatives in their hand did they?" She made the motion of plunging a syringe into her neck. "Knocks them right out. You should have seen Maura when she jumped on the guys back while I hit him with the syringe. We were quite the team weren't we?" She turned to Maura and watched her blush. "You never told her that story? She had to do some surgical rounds during med school. I'll have to tell you the whole story someday Jane." Jan checked Jane's chart and then checked her vital signs and wrote note in the chart. "Looks like you're doing pretty good and that you are in very capable hands. Maura you really should go home a get a good night's sleep." Jan watched as both women pouted at the thought of being apart and she had to laugh. At last her friend has found someone who would give her a run for her money, which was exactly what Maura needed. The fact that it was another woman made no difference to her as long as she was happy.
"I slept fine last night." Maura piped up from Jane's side.
"I know, you two looked so cute when I checked in on you first thing this morning." She smiled as she watched both women blush. "But you know as well as I do that you need to take time for yourself. Go home, take one of your marathon baths, sleep for a few hours then come back and visit. Jane's not going anywhere."
"She's right Maura, you need to take care of yourself." Jane squeezed Maura's hand as she said these words. "Why don't you go now while Ma and Pop are here. Frankie will be by later and you can come back after you rest. I promise I'll be here when you come back." She looked up at Maura with her big brown tired looking eyes and smiled. "It's not that I want you to go, but you need to take care of yourself." She squeezed the hand that was holding hers and smiled.
"Are you sure?" Maura asked as she looked into those big brown eyes.
Jane pulled Maura down so she could whisper in her ear. "I am very sure because when I get out of here I want you well rested so that I can take advantage of you." She watched as Maura blushed so she was surprised when Maura turned her head and whispered back.
"Just remember you are going to be the one flat on your back for at least a week so you might want to think about who will be taking advantage of who?" She kissed her sweetly on the cheek then stood up to leave and had to smile at the stunned expression on her face.
Angela threw back her head and laughed. "Looks like you've met your match Janie."
"Yeah Ma I think I have." Jane smiled at her Mother then turned to Maura. "See you when you get back. Get some rest and don't worry."
Maura waved to everyone and Jan joined her as she left the room. "You two were so cute lying there." Jan bumped her with her hip. "And she's as gorgeous as you said she was. My god if I wasn't happily married and straight I'd be tempted to jump her myself."
Maura playfully slapped her shoulder. "She's all mine and if you try anything I'll tell Jake." She smiled at her friend as they parted at the nursing station. Maura walked through the front door of the hospital before she realized she didn't have her car. She hailed a cab to take her back to the bank so she could pick up her car. When she paid the cab she turned around and just looked at the front of the bank. She couldn't believe that just over 24 hours ago this was a quiet unassuming bank open for regular business, now there was crime scene tape blocking the doors.
"So how is she doing?" Maura spun around to see Korsak standing a couple of feet away.
"She's doing pretty good. They'll probably move her to another room this afternoon so you guys can go visit her. Sorry I didn't update you as much as I should have. I fell asleep in her room last night and didn't wake up until this morning."
Korsak smiled. "I'm glad you two were able to work things out. I'm sorry about the way I treated you in the bank. I was worried about Jane and I needed to take it out on someone and you were convenient."
Maura waved him off. "Don't worry about it Vince. I know how close you and Jane are and I knew where it was coming from. I felt the same way, I blamed myself."
"Yeah but I had no right to talk to you the way I did." Korsak just looked at Maura.
"So what have you found out from the 4th robber? They didn't treat him too badly did they?" She gave Korsak a long look.
Korsak smiled a secret smile as he remembered watching part of the interrogation of Jacob Swift. The cops were smart enough not to hit him but he did bump into a few walls on his way to and from interrogation. "He may have bumped into a few walls walking through the station but for the most part he's ok. It turns out the four of them were trying to get to some blood diamonds in the safe deposit box that belonged to the father of one of them. They were just a bunch of dumb kids thinking it would be easy to steal the diamonds, pawn them then take off. They never thought it through to the end. They also robber another bank last week and killed 6 people as a test run and they guy said yhey all thought it was fun."
"What about the other three dead ones?"
"One of them was the son of the man who owned the diamonds, he came in and identified his son and he was able to tell me the other three were friends of the son from college. We arrested the father for having the diamonds so for him it's been an all around shitty day. Mother was killed about 3 years ago in a car accident and apparently things have gone downhill since then."
"Well I guess they hit bottom haven't they?" Maura could only shake her head in sadness at the luck of some people. Korsak stood with her next to her car while she got in behind the wheel. "I've been ordered to go home and get some sleep so that is where I am headed. Will I see you later at the hospital?"
Korsak gave her a sly grin. "Probably." He shut her car door and walked back towards the bank.
As soon as Maura started driving she was on her phone calling to make arrangements to take at least the next two weeks off so that she could spend the time helping Jane recuperate. By the time she got home everything was arranged, she made herself a salad and sat down at her table to think about Jane and the way things have changed over the past 24 hours. This brought a smile to her lips. She finished her salad then decided to follow Jan's advice and take a long hot bath. She poured in lavender bath salts and slowly lowered her body into the hot water. She let out an audible sigh as her body became fully submerged in the water and laid her head back and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again the water had gone cold and goose bumps covered her body. "Damn!" Maura exclaimed as she stood up and grabbed her towel. She was still shivering when she lay down on her bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. She had barely closed her eyes before she was sound asleep but the smile on her face was angelic.
THE END!
