Returning to Boston
August 26, 2012
Farmhouse
Outside Boston City
8:02 a.m.
It was a strange morning. Both former detectives were finishing covering the windows and back door with a few pieces of wood they've found on the barn next to the house. Jane convinced Maura and Angela to stay closed up until they came back with what they could find on the trip back to the city. Jane hated the prospect of leaving Maura and her mother unprotected but they needed the supplies and find Tommy for Angela's sake.
Maura was making some breakfast from what little she could find on the kitchen's cabinets. She could make a tuna sandwich. Angela was squeezing some oranges she found and was making juice. Maura was finished with her cooking and was now playing with her engagement ring.
It was a simple silver band with three little diamonds in shape of circle. The middle one was slightly bigger than the other two. It was a perfect ring. It symbolized their engagement, simple but at the same time perfect and beautiful.
Angela noticed her daughter in law playing with her ring. She smiled at how such a wonderful person could care so much for her daughter. She decided to step in and sooth the doctor's wariness with what she did best, being a mother. She placed a hand on Maura's shoulder and smiled.
"She'll come back, sweetheart. She's too stubborn to die." Angela said in a low, happy voice.
"Why does she always have to be the hero? Maura couldn't help the question. It was the frustration talking, making the doctor act like a silly teenager. Angela didn't judge her though; she knew how the doctor felt. She was as frustrated as Maura.
"Because she'll protect us…you!" Angela said while Maura moved around, her eyes looking down. "She'll do it with her bare hands if she has to. Because she's Jane and that's what she does best. She'll bring us anything we need even if she has to go to hell and back to do it. She'll keep you safe, always." Angela said with full convincing in her voice.
"I know" Maura whispered more to herself but Angela heard her. "I just don't know what I'd do without her." Maura said with a higher tone of voice and was looking now her mother in law in the eyes.
"She'll be back, I promise you. You don't have to worry." Angela hugged Maura. She was reminding her that she wasn't alone in this and that she still had her as a mother too.
"Thanks, Angela" Maura hugged back.
"You know you can call me, Ma too. I mean you've been eating my gnocchi for years now and that makes you part of the family." Angela chuckled at her silly joke but she was serious when she said she was Maura's mother. The doctor was a daughter to her before Jane had the guts to confess her growing love to the beautiful.
"I know." Maura stepped back of the hug and smiled at her loving mother in law. "Ma"
"Awww, how cute when you say it like that." Jane said. She had arrived at the kitchen when they were hugging. "Don't you go stealing my Ma from me!" Jane pointed accusingly at Maura but she had the biggest mocking smile on her face. She stepped in Maura's persona space, gave her a quick peck on the lips and hugged her.
"Oh great, food!" Frost said entering the kitchen. "Get a room you two!" He said smiling at the couple while grabbing a bite from his tuna sandwich.
"Shut up, Frost!" Jane stepped back of the hug but kept her arms around Maura's waist while smiling at her partner.
"You have to eat too, before you go, don't want you to blackout because you didn't eat." Maura warned Jane. A little sadness glistered in her eyes.
"Okay, Mother, I will." Jane said with her typical sarcasm but a smile on her face.
8: 45 a.m.
The detective pecked her fiancé on the lips one more time and went to sit down with Frost by the table. After getting smacked on the head for not giving graces, getting teased by Frost and Maura for it and thanking her mother for the juice, Jane moved to the living room with her partner, fiancé and mother in tow.
"It's time." Jane said with her back to the people behind her.
"I'll wait in the minivan." Frost said to Jane.
Frost moved outside. Angela stepped in front of Jane and smacked her arm.
"Don't you dare come her in pieces! Don't go around being the hero." Angela smile and gave her daughter a hug. "I trust you Janie, if someone can do this is you. Now I'll leave you two alone, so you can say goodbye properly. I love you, Janie" Angela kissed Jane on the cheek.
"I love you too, Ma and thanks for everything. You are the most wonderful mother in the world." Jane whispered to her mother and stepped out of her embrace. Angela turned around and left the couple alone.
Maura looked into Jane's eyes and couldn't help the little tear that escaped from her eyes. Jane was in her side in a matter of seconds. A hand was cupping her face while her thumb removed the salty substance. No words needed to be said as the couple already talked about it. Instead of saying, discussing or arguing about it both breathe in the scent of the other. Jane took a step forward, grabbed Maura by her thighs and pulled her up while she kissed her passionately.
Maura wrapped her legs around Jane's waist and deepened the kiss. After sucking, biting and a battle of tongues Jane broke the kiss still holding Maura in her arms. "I have to go babe but I swear I'll be back as fast as I can to end what we started." Jane whispered in Maura's ears and she had a smirk in her face.
"Believe me, we will finish it." Maura kept the playing tone with Jane while looking at her lover in the eyes. "Promise me you'll come back." Maura looked right in the eyes, searching for her soul.
"Always and forever." Jane kissed Maura one more time and putted her down.
"If you die Jane Clementine Rizzoli, I will revive you and kill you myself." Maura stated.
"Somehow I am more scared of that, than actually dying." Jane smiled.
"I mean it." Maura said more serious this time.
"Oh I know!" Jane smiled. "Remember after that front door closes you have to put the last pieces of wood and if something were to happen you go downstairs and close up until we come back." Jane said serious this time. She was in her detective mode and nobody should say the contrary to her orders.
"I will, love, come back to me as soon as you finish." Maura said fighting hard to not let Jane go.
"Baby, you won't get rid of me that easily." With a last kiss and a firm hug Jane let go of Maura and dashed out of the house.
She couldn't let the doctor see her crack up and cry. She had to stay strong for her family. Jane breathed heavily before stepping inside the minivan.
9:26 a.m.
Boston City
"Oh. My. God!" Frost whispered. The panic was evident in his voice.
Jane was way too much in shock to talk. She couldn't comprehend the sight in front of her. Boston was literally in pieces. The fire had died down and the smoke had left the city. Now putrefying corpses were lying on the floor, buildings in ashes, half standing. Cars were burned and there was no sign of life in the streets. After they passed her old apartment something caught Jane's attention.
"Frost slow down and look at your left." Jane pointed out the window.
Frost turned to see in the direction Jane was pointing. In the far end of the road she was pointing was a fire burning. And around the fire were hundreds of zombies. Out of fear from the undead frost screeched to a stop. The sound of the tires burning the road captured at least 20 zombies attention. Now, the monsters, were running towards them.
"Shit, Frost, floor it." Jane yelled while looking for her pistol.
Frost didn't have to think twice. Without looking back Frost floored down the car and was out of the streets in seconds. He stopped a while later searching for monsters that apparently were all gather on the dying fire. Luckily they were two blocks away from the BPD armory.
"Let's see if at least the vault of the armory isn't damaged." Jane said looking around for any treats.
"Let's go" Frost affirmed.
10: 13 a.m.
Both detectives stepped outside the minivan. The armory wasn't in a bad shape. Apparently the bombs weren't that effective. With luck the vault would be undamaged. Frost waited until his partner joined him.
"Jane if there are many of those things inside, we don't have enough bullets." For a lack of better words Frost sounded scared.
"We'll have to go the old way; without guns. You have the knifes we found on the house?" She asked her partner who nodded and gave one of the knifes to Jane. "Good. Now if you run out of bullets aim for their throat and run. Don't hold back." Jane explained.
"Okay, I've got your back partner." Frost reassured.
"Me too, Frost, like always." Jane smiled wickedly at her friend.
The former detectives entered the half standing building. There weren't any bodies inside. They stepped down to the vault.
It was dark downstairs; only the emergency lights were on. The basement was almost quiet. They both could hear a growl and some steps. Well Jane managed to figure out they were steps. The person or rather persons who were moving stopped when they heard the detectives approach. The far end were the vault is supposed to be was very dark. With a faint light Jane could make out the vault's door. It looked like it was in perfect shape.
While analyzing their surroundings, Jane, didn't saw the two sets of eyes that were looking at them. Out of the darkness jumped two, apparently cops, zombies in front of them. Jane managed to keep quiet. As soon as her monster, who was dripping in blood and all his lips where gone, was in close range she grab her knife and slashed the monsters throat out of his body. There was blood everywhere and a gurgling sound came from the zombies head.
Frost on the other hand was too scared to let the monster get close to him and as soon as he saw that his zombie was running towards him shoot at the thing's head three times. After the body of the, what was supposed to be, a fit, police officer there was a minute of silent.
"Take that you son of a bitch." Frost started dancing around the body.
"Shut up, Frost, listen to that." Jane shushed her partner.
There was a strange sound. Like a man growling angry but very angry at something. It was coming from the other end of the basement. They looked back and saw a huge zombie. Jane thought it had to be a mutation.
He had a hunchback the size of a basketball. His face was mutilated. Even if the detectives were close enough to him they couldn't make the eyes. He had no lips. His arms and legs were bloody and all his skin was ripped out like he didn't have any. He was running fast. Really fast towards his pray.
There luck had run out. Frost used his last bullets thinking he was going to find more in the vault and Jane had left her pistol in the minivan.
"Damn it, Frost!" Jane yelled. "Open the fucking vault." The brunette yelled again.
Frost moved to the vault and started opening the door. After he turned the wheel handle a few times he moved to the hand knob in the iron door.
Stuck.
"FUCK!"
