Losses
17: 45 p.m.
Boston Police Department
Outside
Frost had barely escaped when Frankie dropped the grenade. He's a hero. Frost thought. He flew out, over the steps in front of the station. All the pain he felt was scrutinizing. Somehow he managed to stay alert when he hit the floor. When he opened his eyes he saw Maura's back and she was looking down at Jane who seemed to be like she'd passed out.
Two zombies were heading at full speed towards the couple and Maura wasn't doing anything. He stumble on his way up and tried to grab the shotgun lying at their side. Crawling, even though all of his body was screaming to stop and take a break but this wasn't the academy, this wasn't some mediocre training this was a matter of life or dead. Every choice they made now would be for their life.
Maura was screaming at Jane to wake up. She was scared because to bloody, rotten, zombies were coming towards them. One running at full speed the other stumbling on his way. She felt useless again. I won't be useless again, I'll help Jane, I'll show her I can protect her too. I am not the only damsel in distress now. I won't be a burden to Jane. She said to herself snatching away the gun of Frost.
Before Frost could react Maura took the shotgun and aim it to the monsters in front of them. She pointed at the closest one who was just 3 feet away from them.
BANG.
Right in the head. Blood all over her face but she didn't care she had to protect Jane now. The zombie went down creating a pool of blood on the floor. She stood up as fast as she could and aimed to the other zombie who was leaping at her and she shoot.
BANG, He flew out to the floor. More blood all, over her sun dress and exposed skin. BANG, BANG.
She didn't stop until she was sure the thing was dead. She couldn't help herself; she went right into action mode. She knew she couldn't take a break. She looked down at Jane who was starting to stir up in the floor putting her hand in her head. Pain, evident in her face. Maura wasn't dumb she knew the pain in Jane's face wasn't from her physical injuries it was for the loss she witnessed in front of her eyes.
Maura moved fast, without stopping to ask questions. More of those things were lurking around them they had to hear the shooting and explosion it was a matter of time before they were in front of them again. She grabbed Jane by the hand and opened the passenger door to their Jeep and shoved Jane inside. (Who was cursing and mumbling profanities while Maura moved her).
"Detective Frost get in! More of them are coming! "Maura yelled while moving around the Jeep to the driver's side. Frost obeyed. He always got scared of Maura when she was on Commanding mode.
Maura entered, threw the shotgun on the back sit, and started the engine and floor in it. Driving like the maniac of fiancé she had.
17:54 P.M.
Boston City
Jane and Maura's Jeep
Jane was disoriented. She was temporary deaf. She could hear a screeching sound in the back of her head. Everything was blurry around her. All was moving too fast for her. Maura was next to her, she couldn't see her clearly but she could feel her. Someone was on the backseat attempting to control their breathing.
A minute or so passed and she could feel her senses coming back to her. Her body reacting to her now. She remembered little pieces. Like chaos and the monsters that weren't supposed to exist. She remembered running, saving Maura, killing monsters in the lobby and then everything was back and she remembered all. The memories hit her like a ton of bricks. She remembered her brother.
"Frankie." She whispered. "Thank you, little brother, you save us." Tears fell from her eyes. She let just a few drop and then whipped them away. She would miss him. Mourned him but she couldn't do that now. The world had changed and she didn't adjust to change that easily but right now she couldn't bring herself to break down and cry and be vulnerable because she needed to be strong for her, for Frost, for her Ma, if she was alive, God let her be alive, and for her Maura.
Detective Rizzoli looked at Maura, who surprisingly was very calm but Jane wasn't a fool she knew deep inside her fiancé was hurting. She knew she was scared and afraid. She saw all the blood on Maura's body and didn't dare to ask. She knew it wasn't time to care for how they looked. She looked at herself and saw blood in her clothes too. Her leather jacket, her sleeveless shirt and her ripped jeans were drenched in blood.
She looked at the backseat only to find Frost looking at her. He gave her an apologetic smile and lowered his face." I am sorry Jane, it should've been me. I should've been the one with the grenade." He looked in pain and like Maura and her he had blood in his clothes.
"Don't say that Frost. He saved us. It could have been anyone holding that grenade and whoever it was would've hurt the same way. Is not your fault you hear me?" She gave him a reassuring look and when he nodded she moved back to look at the front again.
They were moving fast, Jane noticed. Maura was a good driver while in commanding mode. She heard Maura cursing because there were zombies in the middle of the way. I am robbing too much on her. Jane thought and half a smile appeared in her face. She also notices the tension around Maura. It was almost palpable.
"Maura." She called her fiancé. "Maura, baby, breath." She said to her dark blonde that was to afraid to turn her head and look at Jane. "Let's find a place to stop, maybe we can get to our place, ok Maur? I want you to take a break." Jane didn't mention the fact that Maura was covered in blood but as she knew Maura was just ignoring the fact.
Maura didn't dare to look down at herself. She knew if she saw all the blood and little pieces of rotten skin she would panic and be useless and that was the thing she didn't want to do, be useless. She simply nodded.
She drove on the direction to their home. Home, maybe there's still hope. Maura thought. Surely Angela would be there cooking without noticing what was happening to the word around her. Although that possibility was nearly impossible.
"Frost, are you alright?" Jane asked her partner.
"I think I broke a rib but I'll be fine don't worry, it doesn't hurt that much." Frost said calmly.
Jane looked at Maura again and she saw the concentration Maura was putting on her task at hand. She knew this part of the doctor. The part that instead of using words to give support she used action. Jane knew Maura was trying to protect her and show her she wasn't useless like so many times before. Instead of grabbing her close and kissing her like there was no end to the world she grabbed her lovers hand and gave it a simple kiss. No words would need to be spoken because she knew Maura could read her as well as she could read Maura.
Maura was starting to relax a bit. If that was possible in this jungle of madness. There were no signs of normal human beings around. Only blue crystal eyes and rotten bodies looking at them as the Jeep passed in full speed maneuvering through the car crashes and barriers and anything in the way.
She felt Jane's hands on hers and relaxed a bit more after the kiss but she couldn't bring herself to do anything else than driving. She knew the brunette was trying to comfort her. Jane was trying to relax her so she could speak up again but she knew she needed to get home before talking again so she squeezed back in understanding of Jane's intention. They arrived in a matter of minutes to their place.
17:58 p.m.
Boston, Beacon Hill
Dr. Isles Residence
Everything seemed normal. Inside their house was a light on so that meant Angela was in the kitchen. They sighed in happy content to see that at least they had her. Jane looked at Maura and smiled. Maura smiled back.
Frost was the first to get out of the Jeep he threw up as soon as he smelled the rotten blood he had on his clothes.
"Hey, partner, need a break?" Jane almost laughs. Maura was now at her side she took her jacket off and cleaned her fiancés face a little bit, gave her a little peck on the lips and wrapped her arms around her and whispered: "thanks for saving me, I love you."
"I love you more and not every time I get to be the damsel in distress, Jane." Maura whispered back.
Jane grabbed Maura's hand and led them to the front door. When they were about to enter, Jane heard, Planes?
"Frost do you hear…"She couldn't finish the question because bombs were falling everywhere and started to destroy the city.
