Another chapter! I guess, see the end note.

I have nothing else to add up here. You may proceed in reading!

Maura and Jane both showed up at the crime scene 10 minutes later. There they met Korsak and Frost, who had already ID'ed the victim. "Male, late thirties, named Josh Crammer." Korsak said to the both of them.

Maura leaned over the body, which was laying on the grounds of his house, wrapped in long fabric. "No signs of any struggle, not even a bruise. But there are some marks on his neck. Maura stated.

"So he accidentally hanged himself and then fell?" Jane suggested.

"No, these aerial silks are common among the circus performers. I will need some more information before I can conclude any further detail." Maura said.

Jane, Frost and Korsak sighed. "Okay. Fine. Where does he work? Is there a girlfriend," Jane proceeded. She looked into his closet, "Or anyone who knows him. Let's bring him in. We will bag any evidence, then Maura and I will meet you back at the office.

"Sounds like a fine plan to me." Korsak looked at Frost.

"Okay, Jane, we'll have a list then." Frost said as they both left. Jane finished with the evidence as Maura did as well.

"Maura! How the hell do I cover this on my neck! Both Frost and Korsak kept staring at it!" Jane said abruptly.

"Okay, calm down. I can just cover it with make-up. You should really be focused on this case, not the relatively minor hematoma of tissue on your neck." Maura said seriously.

"Right, so, Circus guy. I need to talk to anyone who knew him. The obvious people. Come on." Jane said and dragged Maura to the car. Jane was driving and then Maura started rummaging through her purse. After a few moments Jane looked at her lovingly.

"I can't find my make-up. So either you just ignore it." Maura stated.

"Ok, NO." Jane quickly said.

"You didn't let me finish." Maura reprimanded. "Or you can wear this." Maura said pulling out a bright blue thick flannel scarf. Only, there were small words all over it. Maura giggled at the thought of Jane wearing it.

"But... people are going to make fun of me!" Jane said pouting.

"Don't be ashamed of showing people we share.. things. Don't be ashamed of out relationship!" Maura said not really hurt, just knowing that Jane didn't like the scarf.

"You know I am not! I just don't like your ugly scarf." Jane said in a soft tone.

"It is not ugly Jane. It is just not your favorite thing to wear. But if you ask me, I think if looks good on you. Scarves in general make you seem more attractive, but you never wear them." Maura said trying to get a yes.

"Let me guess, and I should take this marvelous opportunity to please my girlfriend, and on the plus side, it will cover up the hickey that she gave me." Jane summarized bluntly.

"If you put it that way.." Maura said preparing the scarf, than quickly looping in around Jane's neck, causing Jane to flinch.

"I AM DRIVING!" Jane said louder than she intended.

Maura smiled at her happily and said, "Make sure to tuck in into your blazer. Oh it looks good on you!" She sounded excited.

"But it is ugly anyway. Just like if you wore.. something ugly, it would not make you ugly. Well, that and you just can't be ugly." Jane argued.

"But Jane, it is not an unattractive scarf! You hate it just as much as I think your socks are horrific." Maura retorted.

"My socks? I like my socks. I guess I can change that considering you are the only one that really sees my socks anyway." Jane said as she shifted the scarf about, then shoving in under her blazer. "This good?" Jane asked.

Maura looked over at Jane, then tilted her head up and down. "I think it looks good on you Jane."

"If you really think so, I will leave it on. But if people ask, I will say that you made me." Jane replied.

Maura thought about it genuinely and then said, "You can do whatever you want, Jane but I will not lie for you. I mean at least I will not regarding you wearing my neck scarf." Jane laughed at the familiarity of Maura and her lying.

"You know, we just had a whole conversation about a scarf.. and my socks. What is the world coming to?" Jane laughed along with Maura.

"Yes, we certainly did. But you should know that my scarf and your socks will not alter the world at all..." Maura had to add.

"That was a joke..." Jane said. Maura lifted her eyebrows and thought.

"Oh. Okay, it was to emphasis how ridiculous the conversation was." Maura analyzed. Jane pulled up in front of the BPD and parked. "Honey- I think that conversations like these are perfect. You are the only person with whom I can engage in non- productive social intercourse with and enjoy myself with." Maura added fondly.

Jane laughed out loud. "Can you please just say 'talk with' or 'speak with'? I mean 'social intercourse? Really?"

"You know you love it, so don't make fun of me." Maura smiled.

"You are right. I think it is hilarious, endearing, and cute. And I am not making fun of you. I would tell you if I was." Jane retorted. "Come on, we have a murder to solve." she said as the two women walked into the BPD side by side.

Thank you everyone for reading + the alerts + the favorites. They all = me very happy, and wanting to write more.

I know this one is a bit short, and I even attempted to add more crime, which I will continue to do with this case.

Please leave a review with a comment, criticism, edit mistake, or anything really. I have an open mind for anything!

Perhaps you can tell me if you think this one was humorous, because I was kind of going for that.
