Chapter 5

Jane entered the precinct and immediately headed towards the cafe. She stood at the coffee machine for a moment and looked at her phone.

THANK YOU FOR LOVELY EVENING X

She slightly smiled remembering how her evening turned out.

Leaving the club Jane and Marie hailed a cab and proceeded to Marie's dockside apartment. Marie led them up to the 6thfloor apartment. Poured them both a glass as Jane stood by the floor to ceiling glass window. She looked out over the dock at the flashing lights from the container ships in the distance. She saw Marie's reflection in the window and felt the fingers as they trailed down her back. Marie hand her a glass.

"Don't care too much for beer" Marie chuckled.

Jane smirked and lent in to give Marie a kiss on her lips. Marie pulled back and took Jane's glass. Leading Jane through the very contemporary apartment to the bedroom. She touched a panel on the wall and a light dimly turned on. Jane noticed the queen-sized bed sitting against a wall looking out to another floor to ceiling window. The view from this one overlooked the city of Boston.

"It's a beautiful view in the winter" Marie quipped as she sat on the end of the bed.

Jane turned around "I prefer the view in here..." she said as she pushed Marie down on the bed and lifted the hem of her singlet up and over her head letting it drop to the floor...

Jane's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her mother calling her name. Jane looked up and around to her mother.

"Ma.."

"Janie...what in God's name are you wearing?" Angela said as she shuffled around Jane looking at her clothes from every angle.

Jane looked down at her clothes. Ok she admitted they weren't very 'professional' for work but Jane hadn't time this morning to go home and change or have a shower. She shrugged.

"Leave it Ma.." Jane said as she started to fill up her cardboard coffee cup. Angela cocked an eyebrow at Jane and pursed her lips together.

"Tisk tisk tisk" Angela shook her head. "Oh I made you a snack box baby..." Angela remembered as she threw her arms up in the air.

"Ma...I'm not 10years old!" Jane protested.

"But it's got mini pancakes, fluff soldier sandwiches and an apple... " Angela said as she looked Jane up and down.

"What?" Jane said as she took the box off her mum and looked in "ooohh Fluff soldier sandwiches..." Jane grinned as she looked at her mum.

Angela smiled but quickly frowned. "Seriously Janie how can you meet any one nice in that get up...it makes you look ...trampy." she pointed her finger and moved it around Jane.

Jane rolled her eyes and walked off "thanks for the snack box ...bye mother"

Jane exited the lift and walked into the bullpen. A few wolf whistles and raised eyebrows greeted her. Jane shot a "fuck off" stare around the room. She slid into her seat and logged on her computer.

"Working undercover Jane?" Frost quipped.

Jane pulled a sarcastic smile "it's better than wearing your dad's suit to work"

"Ouch" Frost said as he brought his hands to his heart.

"Hey Frost any luck contacting Simon Delaware?" Jane asked

"Nup..." Frost said. "Do you think he's involved?"

"Not sure...Just seems a little strange...there's no word from him. Maura said he still hadn't collected Todd's possessions and I want to ask him about the money in the account" Jane shrugged.

Jane's phone started to ring "Rizzoli…aha be right there.." She hung up and looked at Frost. "a body has been found." Frost grabbed his jacket and followed Jane to the lift.

Getting out at the main floor Jane and Frost proceeded to the entrance. Jane noticed Maura briskly walking from the cafe.

"Jane..." Maura called out as Jane stopped. Frost nodded at Maura

"Maura...Going to the crime scene?" Jane asked.

"Jane we need to talk...you have been.." Maura looked at Frost.

He realised they needed some privacy "I'll bring the car around front"

"I'll go with Maura...meet you there.." Jane said as she turned from Frost to Maura who nodded in agreement. Frost nodded and left the two women.

"Jane .." Maura started as they walked out the main entrance. She looked at Jane she'd lost her train of thought as her eyes roamed over Jane's attire.

"What are you wearing?"

"Oh no not you and all.." Jane rolled her eyes.

"No..I..mean although not entirely professional for work…your ensemble has a certain fashion to it" Maura said with a certain awe in her voice.

Jane rolled her eyes.

"Jane where is your car?" Maura asked as she looked up and down the street.

"I took a taxi.." Jane said turning to Maura.

"Did your car break down?" Maura asked as she reached into her handbag for her keys. Jane shook her head as she walked over to Maura's Prius.

There was silence for the first ten minutes of the journey. Maura kept giving sideward glances at Jane who would look over to Maura when she wasn't looking.

"Jane..." Maura sniffed the air "why can I smell cigarettes?"

Jane shrugged. Maura looked at Jane and lifted up some of her hair and brought it to her nose. The smell of cigarette and alcohol was over powering.

"I went out last night" Jane said as turned to Maura.

"Ohhh...on a date?"

"No just out.."

"And I take it you didn't make it home?" Maura said as she pulled up at a red light.

Jane smirked as she looked out the window.

"Jane..." Maura paused she turned to Jane " The other night...We need to talk about it..."

"Maura. I am sorry...it was a moment of.." Jane started but her phone buzzed. She looked at her phone.

DINNER TONIGHT DETECTIVE? X

Jane smiled and started typing.

OK I WILL PICK YOU UP AT 8 X

Jane looked up from her phone and towards Maura who had her eyes on the road. "I misread the moment. I don't regret what happened. But ..."

Maura looked solemnly over to Jane. Maura's silence said everything and nothing at the same time.

"Because it will change everything"

Maura shot Jane a look "Nothing has changed Jane...You and I haven't explored anything.." her words were with a sense of venom.

"Maura .."Jane said almost apologetically "things have changed.." and with that her phone buzzed, glancing at her phone Jane

UNTIL THEN DETECTIVE XXX

Maura glanced at the phone. Whoever was messaging Jane was starting to annoy Maura. She was a little annoyed at Jane as well because she distracted and wasn't giving Maura her attention.

The Prius pulled up outside the address. Frost had been standing by the Front door he noticed the Prius. He made his way over to the women as they exited the car.

"Jane...it's Simon Delaware.." Frost said standing in front of the women.

"This isn't their home...They lived in Beacon Hill" Jane said confusingly.

Frost shrugged and turned to allow Jane and Maura to walk up to the house; he followed closely behind.

Entering the house Jane scanned the rooms as they walked to the body which was in the back bedroom. It was a nice home. But not very 'homely'. Walking into the master bedroom the naked body of Simon Delaware was spread across the bed. Jane noticed the blood pooled around him. The white sheets were now crimson as they had soaked up the blood. Maura entered the room she pulled out a couple pairs of purple latex gloves, she handed a pair to Jane. Maura knelt down by the bed and snapped the gloves on. Jane walked around to the other side of the bed she knelt down and studied the body her eyes made contact with Maura's.

"The colour of the blood indicates he's been dead for at least 10 hours, rigor mortis has set in as well." Maura glanced back at the body... "help me turn him." Both women stood they turned the body so it was on its side. "hmmm..5 stab wounds" Maura leant in to get a closer look " they look similar to the others.."

Jane acknowledged what Maura had said. She looked around the room noticing how empty the room looked. There wasn't anything personal in the room. "This doesn't look right" Jane said waving her hand around the room.

"There's no photos.." Maura said as she looked around the room. Jane nodded.

Frost entered the room "Jane checked up on who owns the property. It belongs to the victim. He took up the tenancy 2 months ago."

"Interesting...and he was getting married fall next year" Jane said as she looked back at the body.

"perhaps a lovers tiff?.." Frost said.

"Found out his partner was playing away...he moved out and moved on.."Jane finished.

"seems likely.."Frost said as he wrote a few notes down on his pad.

An hour later Jane and Frost were standing in front of the white board in the bullpen. They had discussed the theory that Simon found out that Todd was playing away from home. He had moved out of their home and moved on with his life. Jane still didn't quite understand the connection to all the other victims.

"Have we got any connection to the other victims ..anything linking them all together?" Jane asked as she ran her fingers through her unruly raven coloured hair.

Frost got on his computer and typed the names into a general search. He lent back in his chair "aww shit...Jane they were all BCU graduates...The first vic Sarah Stein graduated in microbiology, Julia Gomez forensic criminology, Todd Williams Pathology and Simon Delaware Business and Finance. "

"Frost can you bring up any other connections did they know each other.." Jane asked

Frost nodded and started to type. Jane stood up, searched for keys and then remembered that she didn't have them.

"Going somewhere?" Frost asked

"BCU" Jane said. Frost stood up. "No I'll take Maura...you stay here.. If you get anything let me know.." and with that Jane walked off.

Jane stood in the autopsy room she watched Maura working "Maura.." Jane said softly.

Maura turned around and faced Jane.

"Fancy a road trip?" Jane scoffed.

Maura lifted her goggles "Yeah can do with a break...where we going?"

"BCU.." Jane said as she watched Maura pulled off her lab coat and place it on the coat hook in her office. "

Twenty minutes later Maura pulled up in the car park "Why are we here?" Maura asked as they got out the car.

"We're working on a hunch...we know all the victims were at BCU and around the same time...Frost had messaged me that 3 of the vics had classes together...I just want to get a feel for their friendship if they had one" Jane said as she adjusted her sunglasses.

Maura ogled Jane. Even if she wasn't properly dressed for work Maura couldn't get over how attractive Jane looked.

"What?!" Jane said to Maura as she stood at the front of the prius.

Maura shook her head "nothing...you just look…um..ah...different...glowing...beautiful.."

Jane smirked "it doesn't cost much to look this good" she turned and walked a few steps away. "come on Dr Isles...stop ogling." she called out over shoulder.
