Graveyard Shift – Dial a Friend

Jane sat opposite of Korsak thumbing through the pages of notes that she had made regarding Philip Argyros' murder. They were so close to catching the one who wanted him dead. Philip had one son, Cedric, who had seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet. It had been a few years since anyone in the family had seen him. Deidre seemed to believe that Cedric was probably the one, since he stood to inherit his entire fortune. Jane was surprised with the media attention, Cedric hadn't come forward by now.

She strummed her fingers through her hair and checked her watch. It read 2:00 am. She sighed heavily.

"What up?" Korsak asked her.

She looked up at him and shook her head. "Nothing."

"That didn't sound like nothing to me."

She really didn't want to go into it. She missed her lady. It seemed so unnatural for her to be sitting at this desk while Maura was in bed alone. Jane had just somewhat moved into Maura's place last week, and since then, she's slept in the bed with her three times maybe. But they weren't really sleeping…

"I'm alittle tired," she faked a yawn as she continued reading over her notes. Something was not adding up with this case. "And this Argyros case is causing me to lose sleep."

Korsak nodded. "You think it's the kid?"

Jane shrugged, "It could be anybody. He was a manipulative swindler."

"Worth ten mill."

Jane nodded. Something had been nagging her lately. She couldn't stop thinking about that night when Maura was tripping over Deidre and how she told her she just had a strange feeling about her. Either it was the jealousy or Maura's gut was trying to warn her. Jane was aware of the fact that Deidre seemed to be really adamant about Cedric being the killer and how the BPD needed to track him down and arrest him. But there was no evidence that pointed to Cedric, if Cedric was even still alive.

"I think we're missing something." Jane said softly. They had investigated almost every single client of his, relative of his, and nothing panned out.

And then of course, there was Deidre, the overly helpful niece who really wanted the killer brought to justice. Jane's trust level with Deidre was faked. She was a detective after all; she was not dumb enough to let a family member of a murder victim get too close. Deidre assumed they were friends. And she also assumed that Jane was a fool too.

The more Jane thought about her interactions with her, and Maura's bad vibes from her, she began to formulate a different view.

"Hey…" The eureka tone in her voice got Korsak's attention. A smile crossed her face as she thought of something that she hadn't even thought of before.

"What you got, Rizzoli?"

"We checked all his financials haven't we?"

"Yep."

Jane nodded, "Do you remember that case we had back when we were first assigned together. And the guy had an offshore?"

"Uh huh. We checked for offshore bank accounts."

"Right." She said as she got up and paced the floor, "But did you check for foreign insurance policies?"

Korsak frowned, "I don't think so. Since his niece gave us all of his accounts and assets information, we didn't check."

Jane nodded. "We need to check that out."

"What are you thinking?"

Jane couldn't shake the nagging feeling that she had been spoon fed by Deidre. "Deidre is keeping something from us. Why else haven't we cracked it? I think while those assets may be right, I think there's something extra floating around out there, and it's the last puzzle piece."

"You think she's involved."

Jane nodded, "I think she is, and she's trying to be my friend in order to keep close and see how things are going."

"You don't discuss the case do you?"

"Of course not."

"Have you compromised yourself?" He asked calmly. His eyes remained fixed on hers even though she gave him an awful look.

Jane frowned at him, "Compromised myself? What the hell do you mean by that?"

"You know what I'm talking about. She is hot and you have been spending a lot of time with her."

"And?"

Korsak shrugged, "Some of the guys say you two are… You know?"

Blood rushed into her face, "No, I don't know. We are what?"

"Fucking."

Jane's stomach leaped into her throat and she nearly vomited. "What?!"

Korsak just nodded.

"That's insane. I am not fucking Deidre! I have a girlfriend!"

"I know you do, but as your friend, I'm obliged to tell you that you really should reconsider the amount of time you spend with our Deidre here. For two reasons: Number one, she may actually be the one who killed our victim." He said standing up. "Number two, you got to understand that Maura hears those same rumors that I do. And that cannot be healthy for your relationship."

Jane just shook her head. She knew that he was right. "I know…"

"I'm going to the snack machine, I'll be back." He said before he disappeared out of the room.

Jane was stunned. She slumped down into her chair and put her head into her hands. People and their fucking rumors! Everybody always wants something to talk about. For them to rumor an affair with her and Deidre was just wrong. So wrong. Especially when most of them knew that she and Maura was an item.

Thoughts of how those rumors must have hurt Maura flooded into her mind. Her heart ached. It wasn't true and it never will be true. She felt tears stinging her eyes, she almost let them go, but Korsak came back into the room. He sat down opposite of her and opened his snack pack.

"If I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry." He said.

Jane waved him off, "Please, I'm fine. It's good to know what people say."

"So are you and Maura good still?"

"Of course we are, why do you ask?"

He shrugged and started thumbing through his folder.

"Korsak? Why did you ask me that?"

When Korsak didn't respond, Jane sighed and softened her voice a bit. "Vince?"

He looked up at her and cleared his throat. "I'm only saying this because I'm your friend and I know Maura makes you happy."

"Okay?"

He stared at her for a moment, apparently trying to figure out a way to put it to her.

"Just tell me."

"My failed marriages came from working too much and leaving them alone at home."

Jane frowned.

"Maura is still a human, if you leave her alone too long, she'll replace you with someone or something that can be there."

His words hit her hard. "But we see each other every day."

He nodded. "Yes, but how often do you go to bed together and sleep together?"

"Are you talking sleep sleep or sex?"

Vince's eyebrows raised, "Both."

Jane sighed, "We have lots of sex, but I haven't went to bed and stayed all night often."

"Does she complain about that?"

Jane just nodded.

"And on top of that, there's these rumors going around about you and Deidre."

"What is your point, Korsak?"

"My point is, this job alone is enough to destroy relationships. You have to want that relationship bad enough in order to make sure it doesn't happen."

"I do want it bad enough."

Korsak's expression firmed up, "Then why are you sitting here at 2:00 o'clock in the morning?"

"Because I'm working and helping you."

"I don't need any help this late. I usually just take the quiet time to organize my notes for the next day."

"Yeah," Jane responded; her thoughts automatically gravitating to thoughts of Maura.

She glanced at her watch again and wondered what her baby was doing and if she was sleeping yet. "You're right. I just thought it was unfair to leave you here to solve this case alone."

"I'm not doing it alone. We bust our asses all day, Jane. Since you have someone to go home to now, you should see that as a reward for a hard day's work."

Jane just nodded and rung her hands. "You're right." Jane wanted to go home and crawl in the bed with her. "I think I'm gonna go, but first could you look into foreign insurance policies for me? I can't sleep until I know if my hunch was correct or not."

"Sure." Korsak said as he started doing a search.

Jane sat back and twisted her pen between her fingers. She was anxious. She was ready to close this case even if it meant arresting Deidre for murder. She picked up her phone and composed a text to Maura:

Jane: Hey baby. Are you awake?

Jane waited a few minutes before Maura's response came in.

Maura: Yes, I'm awake.

Jane: I miss you.

Maura: I miss you too.

Jane glanced up at Korsak who was busy working on the task Jane asked him to do.

Jane: We're close to closing this case. No more late nights.

Maura: I'm happy to hear that.

Jane: Are you happy with me?

Maura: Very much so.

This made Jane very happy to hear. Maura was very understanding, but she didn't expect her to remain so understanding for a long period of time.

Jane: Things will change from this day forward, Maur. I promise.

Maura: What things?

Jane: Particularly my working so much, and leaving you alone at night. I should be there.

Jane reached up and swiped a thin trace of a tear out of the corner of her eye. She relaxed into her seat and propped her foot up on the desk. It was then that Korsak looked up at her and chuckled.

"I see how you are. Making me do the dirty work." He said.

"You're better at that Internet stuff than I am."

Korsak laughed out loud and went back to his internet search. Jane's phone buzzed:

Maura: I understand you need to work.

Jane: True I do, but not these hours.

Maura: Okay.

Jane: Maur?

Maura: Yes?

Jane swallowed hard. She knew what she was about to request, she'd never requested it before of Maura, and she was likely to get rejected, but what the hell. Life is too short.

Jane: Can you send me a pic?

Maura: Okay.

Jane could not believe she didn't ask any questions of her request! Her palms became sweaty as she anticipated the photo of her lady love. A minute later, Maura's next message was a multimedia message.

Jane opened the message. Immediately she burst into laughter, startling Korsak who was in his own little world. She cupped her mouth and apologized for the outburst. After she was certain that he wasn't paying her any attention, she composed another text to Maura:

Jane: You sent me a pic Bass?

Maura: LOL, you didn't specify.

Jane shook her head.

Jane: send me a pic of your tits, babe. I miss them.

Maura: Oh my…. Okay. One min.

One minute later she received a confidential picture message. Her heart began to drum in her chest anticipating the naughty picture arriving. Jane tapped and opened it. Her reaction was like it was the first time she saw them.

"Damn…" She gasped and swallowed her heart back into her chest.

Korsak looked up at her and frowned. "You okay, Jane?"

She literally had to force her eyes from her phone's display screen to Korsak's face. "Uh, yeah. I'm sorry. I just…" She struggled to find the right words, "I just got a text I need to answer."

"Everything okay?"

She nodded briskly, as she noticed another picture message coming through. This time it was a snapshot of Maura's tongue on her own nipple. Jane shivered as a rush of desire passed through her body.

"Yes, everything is fine."

"Oh okay. You look alittle flushed. Is someone bothering you?"

'No… Not at all." A third text came in. This one almost made her fall out of her chair. Maura had snapped a photo of her touching herself, exploring the depths of her beautiful pussy. Jane's eyes fluttered shut as her brain threatened to shut down right then and there. She rose from her seat.

"Where are you going?"

"Uh, I'll be back in a few minutes." She said as she darted off out of the door. She took refuge in the small broom closet down the hallway. She scrolled through the pictures again, her body steadily trembling with desire.

Jane: omg. You're so beautiful.

Maura: Did you like them?

Jane: yes.

Maura: I wish you were here.

Jane: me too.

Jane got comfortable and sat down on a crate. She leaned back against the shelving unit and sighed.

Jane: I want u

Maura: I want you too.

Jane: If I was there, I would be doing so many naughty things to you.

Maura: Tell me what you would do

Jane: I'd lay you back on our bed, spread your legs, and…

Jane purposely waited a couple of minutes. Maura loved it when she talked dirty to her. It turned her on more hearing Jane say the exact things that she wanted her to do to her.

Maura: And what?

Jane: Call me. Let me tell you.

Jane thought she'd have a little bit of time, but Maura dialed her instantaneously. Jane laughed and shook her head.

"And what?" Maura repeated. Her voice was so soft and relaxed.

"Are you in bed?" Jane asked.

"Yes." She cooed, "In bed and missing you."

"I'll be home soon," she said as she opened the broom closet door and peeked out in each direction. Not a soul in sight.

"Did you like my photos?"

Jane groaned, "I loved them. I can't wait to suck your nipples."

"What else would you do?"

"I would turn you over onto your stomach and kiss you from head to toe. Tracing every inch of you with my tongue."

"Oh Jane…" Maura moaned slightly. "What else?"

"I'd kiss my way down your body, nibbling every inch of you until I reach the back of your knees. Then I'll kiss them while you wiggle underneath me."

Maura chuckled, "Oh that would tickle!"

"Exactly," Jane said as she inhaled deeply and rubbed the area between her legs. She was turning her own self on with this kind of talk. "You know what I'm doing, Maur?"

Maura was breathing heavily on the other line. "What are you doing?"

"Guess."

"Oh love… Are you touching yourself?"

"Yes," Jane admitted.

"Where?"

Jane licked her lips as she positioned herself so she could slip her hand into her pants. Her fingers encircled her clit.

"My clit is so hard for you." She whispered. "Mmm, it wants to feel your lips again."

"Oh my god…" Maura exhaled.

"Yes… fuck." Jane whispered a soft moan.

"Where are you?"

"Mmm," Jane was quickly heating up, "Broom closet."

Jane could hear Maura breathing heavily on the other line. "I want to touch myself too."

"Do it."

A moment of silence, and then Jane heard Maura shuffling with the phone. And then she could her Maura's soft moans in her ear.

"Are you doing it baby?" Jane asked.

"Yes. And I'm thinking of you." Maura whimpered quietly, and uttered at single swear word. "I need you so badly. I want to ride your face right now."

A streak of heat raced through Jane's body. "You're turning me on so much."

"Shh… Listen," Maura's sexy arousal laden voice commanded Jane.

"Listen to what?"

"This…" She said. A moment later Jane heard the undeniable wet sounds of Maura's super aroused pussy along with her distant moans. This nearly made Jane explode, even more so when she heard her whimpering her name.

Jane wanted to jump into the phone and into the bedroom with her and finish her off the right way… with her lips attached to her clit.

"That's it, baby… Work it for me… Do it…" She encouraged her. She heard Maura fumble for the phone and she came back to the line panting and whimpering.

"Jane, I want to come, so badly…"

"Then do it.

"Not without you."

Jane was still rubbing hers out, "put the phone on the pillow and lay down beside it."

"Okay," a moment later, Maura moaned again, "I did it."

"Close your eyes."

Jane let a few seconds pass by. "I'm right here. I can see you, and I can feel you." Jane let go of a couple of hushed moans. "Can you feel me?"

"Oh, Yes, I can." Maura gasped.

"Do exactly what you know I would do," She coached her. Jane had a very special way of touching Maura like no one else had ever touched her before. "Your hands are my hands."

"Jane…" She exhaled heavily. "My god, it feels so good."

"Keep doing it. It's for you and only you." She cooed in her ear. "You're so wet, I love the way you feel." Jane's deep and sultry voice penetrated Maura deeper than any lover had or ever will.

"I feel you inside me… Mmm, how is this possible?"

"I'm deep inside you. You feel so soft, warm, wet…" Jane felt her climax come on strong. "And tight… pull me in, baby…yeah."

"Jane…Jane… oh my god, I'm coming!" Maura stuttered through the onset of her orgasm.

"Me too, Maur." Jane had to be quieter, but nonetheless she was experiencing a powerful orgasm. Jane almost dropped her phone as her climax nearly overtook her. "Fuck," she whispered to herself.

Maura was just as silent on her line as Jane was on hers. The next thing Jane heard was a soft chuckle coming from her.

"That was amazing, Jane."

"I know right?"

Maura sighed and laughed again. "When are you coming home, Love?"

Jane got up and readjusted her clothes. She ran out of the broom closet only to run into the Janitor. He looked at her and smiled. Jane could only hope that he wasn't standing there the entire time she was having phone sex with Maura. If he was, then oh fucking well; it was probably the highlight of his evening.

"I'm leaving now, babe." She said as she opened the main door to the detective floor, "I'll see you soon, I love you."

"I love you too." She said before she hung up the phone.

As Jane walked onto the floor, Korsak's shocked expression was the first thing she noticed. She glanced down at her clothing, hoping she didn't leave her boobs hanging out or something, and then back up at him.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she made her way to the desk.

"You were right, Jane."

"About what?"

Korsak handed her a printout of a foreign insurance policy from a Greek company located in Sweden with ten million dollars. Philip Argyros was the policy holder and the two beneficiaries were Cedric Argyros and Deidre Argyros.

"What the fuck?"

"Looks like she's got good reason to kill her uncle and make sure we go after the son for murder."

"Because she'll inherit all of this and his entire estate."

"You want to go talk to the judge for a warrant?"

Jane thought over it for a moment. Everything in her cop brain said: "Yes, let's go snatch that conniving bitch out of bed and bring her down for questioning," but the human side to her caused her to reject the offer.

"Nah. How about you go see if the judge will issue it and I'm going home?"

Korsak smiled and nodded. "Sounds good to me. See you later today, Jane."

"Thanks, Vince." And she really meant it.

There was nothing better than knowing you just solved a hard case. Actually there was something better. Solving a hard case and then being able to go home and make mad passionate love to your girlfriend. That was even better.

Jane popped Korsak on the arm and headed out the door.

Small victories abounded tonight, and she couldn't wait to go home and celebrate with her one and only girl.

Note: Thanks for reading!
