I just decided to make a Rizzoli&Isles/ NCIS crossover out of this. Please review.

Chapter 2

'Do you think the two drug murder victims are his work, too?' Maura asked.

The pathologists have already gone home when Jane called them back. Now they were all sitting in the office, with their coffees in the hands and thought about the danger that had just been created.

'Perhaps. It was something personal to me. Perhaps one of his pupils he has taught to kill' Jane answered.

'But why with drugs?' Valentina asked. 'Doesn't he let his pupils kill like he does, cutting the neck?'

'Usually yes' Korsak agreed.

'Perhaps he has found someone new. He had helped him out of prison and Hoyt told him to kill and place one victim in my house. But he didn't say how to kill them.'

'To kill like our drug murderer requires are great knowledge of chemistry and medicine. The drugs dosage was just high enough to kill slowly and the first one has just hung long enough so that all the blood flew in his feet' Maura stated.

'Hoyt feels attracted by personalities like him. Perhaps he is a doctor or chemist who kills using with all the skills he has' Frost mentioned.

'Like Hoyt uses his medical knowledge' Maura muttered.

She still remembered how he had smiled at her and told her that she would be like him. And after what she had found out about her own family, it wasn't that way off.

'And where is he now?' Frost asked.

'Near to me' Jane muttered. 'His car was found only two kilometers from here. He could walk the rest.'

'He's hiding. Every cop in this district is searching him. He has to hide first before he can get near to you. And we will protect you so that he doesn't even get a chance to do anything to you' Maura tried to calm her friend down.

Jane just smiled slightly. She just couldn't believe how such a man like Hoyt could escape from prison. He had been in single care and security guards in front of the door. She had expected at least one killing when he escaped. But nothing had happened.

The detailed report said that he had hidden a kitchen knife under his bed, jumped up when a guard had brought him the meal and held the knife in front of his neck. In that position they had gone out and when Hoyt has seen his escape car he had dropped the knife and jumped into the car. The chase hasn't been successful, they had escaped.

Jane wondered why they haven't shot both guard and Hoyt but then she'd read that the guard had recently become a father and felt with him. It was better like that although a killer was free now and he only had the goal to kill her. Fantastic prospect.

'Jane? Jane!' Jane startled.

'What?' she asked. She had been lost in thoughts again. But she had been right. Someone has been following her and she bet it was this drug murderer.

'We protect you. You go home now and I'll stay over at yours.'

'What? No' she answered and stood up. 'The last time you stayed over at my house, we found a body on my bed. I can look after myself, believe me. I've beaten Hoyt before and I'll do it again.'

She put on her jacket and walked out of the office. 'Who watches her house first?' Korsak asked. 'Valentina and me' the doctor decided and her assistant nodded. They followed Jane outside and with a safe distance to her house.

'So why is Hoyt so obsessed with her?' Valentina asked. They both sat in her car and watched Jane's house. It was quite everywhere, it was around three o'clock in the morning.

'He thinks that Jane is an equal enemy. He has spent his life torturing and raping women and Jane was stronger. He stabbed her hands and tortured her. Korsak has helped her escape.'

'The reason why they aren't partners anymore?' Maura nodded.

'What is it with her hands? I can't see anything.'

'The wounds have mostly healed. You can only see the scars when you know. But Hoyt swore to take revenge. This is not good.'

'He performs the killing and torturing with incredible exactness after what I've seen from the files.'

'He has studied medicine. But he had broken off his studies. Despite that he still likes to be called Dr. Hoyt.'

'So he's insane.'

'That's the conclusion' Maura laughed.

'I often ask myself what is in their heads. What does a killer think about himself. I don't understand how someone doesn't lose mind or control while doing such…things.'

'And they don't understand us. Why you cannot do this' Valentina responded.

Maura nodded but suddenly stopped. 'You said 'they don't understand us' but why I cannot do this' she suddenly noticed.

'Well, I—'

'Have you ever—are you—'

'Maura, please don't think anything wrong about me.'

Maura shook her head.

'I have once killed in self-defense' Valentina explained and looked into the doctor's face.

'I don't believe you.'

'What?'

'No. You know, I've done psychology in my studies. You choose your words thoughtfully. You know a lot about drugs. You're a medicine.'

'You think that I'm working for Hoyt?' Valentina laughed.

'No, I think that…no, you think that you're working with him. But he only uses you like he does with all of his disciples.'

'Maura, do you hear what you're talking?'

'You knew about the drugs. You gave all the hints. And when Hoyt escaped from prison you already were at home' Maura said in disbelief.

She opened the door and got out of the car. 'Maura!' Valentina shouted and got out, too. She already pulled out the gun she had in her holster.

'Maura, stop it. Stay where you are' she screamed at the doctor trying to run toward Jane's house. Maura stopped and turned around and looked at Valentina who was pointing the weapon at her.

'Valentina, listen to me' she told the tall, very thin, pale, black-haired, 25-years-old woman. 'You do not have to do this. I can help you. You do not want this. Hoyt is a bad man and you know this. He may have told you that he loved you but this is a lie.' Maura talked slowly and in fear that Valentina would be as insane as Hoyt and just pull the trigger.

'Come here' Valentina said slowly and they walked out of sight of Jane's house. In the shadows, Valentina pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number. 'You stay where you are' she said and Maura nodded with a worried face.

She couldn't believe that a young girl like Valentina could do such things, could be so…crazy to kill. Valentina called somebody and Maura was sure that it was Hoyt.

'Hey, I've got Maura here. She knows that I working—…exactly, what shall I do? May I kill—…okay, are you sure? Is it really necessary? Okay…'

'Was this Hoyt?' Maura asked.

'Maura, listen to me. You are now going to do what I say—'

'And if not?'

'And if not, you will be very sorry for that. We are now both going back into the car and drive away.'

'So that he can kill me somewhere else? Or will he let you kill me?'

Valentina sighed and pointed with the gun at the car. Maura nodded and they both walked over to it.


'Where the hell are they?' Korsak asked when he and Frost arrived in front of Jane's house. They should take over the observation at five a.m. but neither Valentina nor Maura were there.

'Do you think he has them?' Frost asked. But Korsak only shook his head. He was already out of the car and on the way to Jane to have a look if she was alright. She was and they drove back to office.

Jane was still angry why they had observed her during night but now she understood why.

'Okay, let's take along Hoyt has both of them, what now?' she asked huffily. 'No idea. Either he murders them like usual—'

'No, he won't' Jane directly interrupted Frost. 'They are both close to me. He wants me to see it, to feel it. Either he tortures and keeps them alive and makes us find them or he deposits the bodies where we can easily find them. God!'

'We need to think like him' Korsak said. 'Then think like an insane killer!' Jane yelled.

She felt like if it was all her fault. Well, actually it was. She was the target of Hoyt, not Maura, not Valentina, not anybody else.

The day was boring and Jane had the feeling that the only important things happened throughout nights and that she could actually better sleep at day and work when it was dark. Tonight, Frost accompanied her to her flat.

'I can watch myself' she complained when she opened her door and screamed—again.

'Oh god' she then muttered when she saw the woman sitting next to the table. It was Valentina, her hands and legs were tied together with duct tape which also was across her mouth.

'Oh dear' Jane muttered and ran toward her. She removed the tape from her mouth and together with Frost they unleashed her.

'What has happened?' Frost asked and helped her to sit down on the sofa.

'Frost, make a tea, please' Jane told her partner and sat down next to the doctor.

'Tell me what has happened, Valentina.'

'It was Hoyt. He came from behind, opened the door and put a knife around Maura's neck. He told us to get out of the car. Then he hit her and she lost consciousness. He came toward me and pressed me on the street. I lost consciousness shortly after.'

'It's alright now' Jane tried to calm her down and hugged her deeply.

'What happened then?'

'I woke up. I don't know where. I just remember that he was there and I should tell you that you won't see your girlfriend so soon again. Jane, I'm so sorry. I—'

'It's okay. It is nothing your fault.'

'Well, then I suddenly woke up here, tied at the table, Hoyt was already gone.'

Jane nodded. She knew how it must have felt like for young Valentina. Frost sat down next to them.

'What will Hoyt do with Maura?' he asked Jane who just sighed.

'Kill her. To show me that he really is back. He left you alive to tell me. We need to find him. Do you know anything about where you woke up?'

She shook her head. She was a perfect liar. 'It was dark and wet. Somewhere in a basement. But every house in this city has a cellar' Valentina answered.

'Damn it. Anything else?'

'No, Jane. I'm so sorry.'

'Oh, no. It's not your fault. Hoyt has just chosen you to demonstrate how powerful he is.'

'When you find him, will you kill him?' Valentina asked.

'When he had done anything to Maura, I promise that I will' Jane swore and stared at the couch in front of her. 'I'll make him suffer.'
