Hey guys thank you for all of the brilliant comments I've gotten and the following and favouriting I really appreciate it and it inspired me to start the next chapter. I'm having writer's block for From Bad to Worse so just bare with me. Enjoy and hope this one is good for you, I quite like it.

To Jane's surprise they didn't run into anyone on the way to the morgue but all the odds seemed to be against her as Maura was in the morgue just finishing an autopsy, her back facing Jane and Hoyt. His arms were wrapped around Jane's stomach and his two apprentices were behind them. Jane could feel their glares aimed at her, ready to pounce should she escape Hoyt's grip.

As Maura took off her blood stained gloves and began to wash her hands, Hoyt covered Jane's mouth as he whispered through the morgue, "Doctor Isles!" Maura spun around to see who was there but she couldn't see them so she carried on with what she was doing. When she began to dry her hands Hoyt whispered again, "Doctor Maura Isles!" Maura dropped the paper towel that was in her hand in shock and leaned towards the equipment table and picked up a clean scalpel for protection.

"Hello?" She whispered, fear was laced in her voice and Jane's breathing increased. Hoyt looked at Jane and shook her slightly as a sign to shut up which she did immediately. "Is anyone there?" Maura still had no idea just what was going on next to the glass walls of the morgue.

Hoyt leaned into Jane's ear and whispered almost slightly, "Scream Jane." He let go off Jane's mouth but she shook her head in response. Hoyt nodded at the two apprentices as he said, "Hands." Jane just looked confused until they reached out and grabbed her hands and began to squeeze them. Her hands still ached from the time when Hoyt stuck scalpels through them and Hoyt knew it. As if they had been trained the apprentices each grabbed a hand each and applied pressure just where it would hurt her the most and she let out a yelp in pain. She wasn't very loud but it was loud enough for Maura to hear in her silent morgue.

Maura recognised her best friend's voice instantly and began to run towards the doors. "Jane!" She yelled as she ran.

Hoyt then threw Jane the apprentices, who caught her so she couldn't move at all and he slowly walked towards Maura so she could see him through the doors. "Not another step Doctor Isles." He said, slowly. Maura instantly stopped running. Whatever he wanted was not good and could end up with Jane paying for it and from what she had just heard, he would have no problem hurting her too. Hoyt looked to the side and nodded at the apprentices who dragged Jane away but Maura still had no idea what was going on.

Hoyt walked through the doors and into the morgue causing Maura to step back in fright. "Put the scalpel down, Doctor." Hoyt hissed as he came closer.

"Where's Jane?" Maura said, still not putting the scalpel down.

"Not far," Hoyt said again. "Your very close with Jane aren't you, Doctor Isles?"

"Yes," Maura confirmed, her ability to lie not really helping the situation here. "Why?"

"Just curious," Hoyt said, his eyes searched her and soon they zoomed in on the fact that Maura was still holding her scalpel. "I wanted you to hear what I had to tell Jane..."

"And what is that?" Maura interrupted.

"That I kidnapped Jane when she was fourteen. I'm willing to come clean about everything which I have done including the kidnapping but I need Jane to believe me," Hoyt explained sounding very serious about everything which he was telling Maura.

"Why should I believe you?" Maura asked, fear for her best friend beginning to surface again.

"Because I'm telling you the truth and if you can convince Jane to listen to me then I will not hurt you, I'll leave you behind and I will take Jane away but she will not get hurt, yet," Hoyt bargained.

"Where is she?" Maura demanded.

"Safe, for now," Hoyt told her, receiving a sigh of frustration from the doctor, "but if you put that scalpel down I will show you where she is but bare in mind if you put that scalpel down you are also promising to convince Jane to listen to me."

Maura swallowed before leaning back over to the equipment table and placing the scalpel on it and standing back up straight.

"Good," was all Hoyt said, before he walked over to the other entrance to the morgue. He then pulled back the plastic shades. Jane then appeared being dragged by the two apprentices, one on each arm. "Ah, Jane, how lovely of you to join us." Jane began fighting the two men to try and get free.

"Why've you gotta bring Maura into this, she has nothing to do with it. This is between you and me not Maura." Jane said, disgust laced in her voice.

"I had to bring Doctor Isles into this Jane, didn't I?" Hoyt asked, walking up to Jane and looked her in the eye. Jane looked at Maura and her faced displayed the fear of Jane getting hurt. With that, Jane's fighting ceased and she looked into the eyes of the deranged serial killer who had haunted her nightmares for nearly two years now.

"Why?" Jane asked again.

"Because it wouldn't have been as much fun now, would it?" Hoyt asked Jane. Suddenly Jane's heavy breathing came back and Hoyt grabbed Jane off the two apprentices and pushed her against the wall covering her mouth. One of the men ran to Maura to stop her from running to Jane and Hoyt and the other guarded the door. "I told you to stop with the heavy breathing!" Hoyt shouted shaking her. This did not help Jane all and Jane's breathing started to get faster and faster and faster until everyone in the room knew what was coming. "Jane calm down," Hoyt told her, pulling her off the wall and slamming her back towards it.

"Jane? Please calm down, you're going to give yourself a panic attack, please Jane!" Maura begged, Jane looked at Maura then at Hoyt and then back to Maura and after a few seconds managed to calm her breathing down again.

"There's another reason she's here, Jane." Hoyt told Jane, whilst moving his hand away from her mouth and resting it around her neck.

"And what's that?" Jane asked, looking away from Hoyt. He grabbed her cheeks and forced Jane to look him in the eye.

"She's good as controlling you," he said, shaking her slightly before throwing her tumbling to the floor and walking away. He nodded to the apprentice near Maura and he let go of Maura instantly and Maura took this opportunity to run to Jane's side. "Work your magic, Doctor Isles!" Hoyt called as he walked away, into Maura's office, the two apprentices remained behind.

"Are you ok?" Maura asked Jane, putting her hand on one of Jane's shoulders.

"I'm fine Maura," Jane coughed from Hoyt holding her throat.

"Come on," Maura said, putting her hands around Jane and helping her to her feet. "Let's get you up."

"Where are you going?" One of the guards who were closer to them asked.

"To get her some water, do you want her to choke? I don't Hoyt would be too impressed with you if you hurt Jane would he?" Maura asked, giving him a death stare.

"He wants to hurt her anyway," the man laughed.

"But not yet and he wants Jane to listen to him, she's not going to do that when she's having a coughing fit now is she?" Maura asked.

"Fine, do what you gotta do," he said, moving aside.

Maura lead Jane over to the sink and pushed her hips back so that she was sitting on the bench next to it. Jane sat watching Maura as she continued to cough slightly. He'd really knocked the wind out of her. Maura marched across the morgue grabbed a cup off the counter and returned to Jane's side, filling it with water out of the tap. She then handed it to Jane who took it with shaky hands.

"Drink it, slowly," Maura advised. Jane just nodded at her best friend and slowly began to pour it into her mouth. When Jane put the cup down, smiling slightly at Maura, Maura said, "Better?"

"Yeah, thanks Maur'," Jane replied. "Maura I'm really sorry, you shouldn't be caught up in all of this."

"Don't worry about it, it was Hoyt's decision right? Not yours, don't blame yourself." Maura said, encouragingly. "He wants me to convince you to listen to him about some kidnapping, I'm not sure what he's talking about."

"I don't either, I don't wanna listen to him, I'm sure he's lying," Jane complained.

"How do you know?" Maura asked.

"I don't," Jane confessed, "But it's Hoyt. He says that he kidnapped me when I was fourteen, surely I would remember being kidnapped."

"When you were sixteen, what happened? Is there part of school you don't remember or summer?" Maura asked.

"I don't know Maura. Why?" Jane asked.

"Repression." Maura said simply.

"Re- what?" Jane asked.

"Repression it means a motivated forgetting without conscious awareness, it usually happens through Traumatic events. The term was coined by a psychologist called Sigmund Freud..." Maura explained.

"Good for him, what's this got to do with anything?" Jane asked, looking very confused.

"I was thinking maybe Hoyt's right..." Maura started to say.

"What?" Jane interrupted, practically screaming.

"Maybe he did kidnap you..." Maura tried to explain again.

"And you think I went through repra... repress..."Jane was racking her brain for the right word.

"Repression." Maura corrected her.

"Exactly!" Jane exclaimed.

"I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that if he's telling the truth... maybe, I don't know you say something traumatic and the years following you forgot about it and can't remember, a bit like amnesia but just for one event not everything that ever happened." Maura managed to finally explain without being interrupted.

"Ok, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but surely my family would mention it," Jane said before being interrupted by Maura.

"Maybe they don't want to remember it or they've been advised by psychologists to leave you be," Maura suggested.

"Maybe, maybe I should listen to him," Jane sighed.

"Bravo, Janie," Hoyt hissed from behind them, "I'll tell you everything in front of Doctor Isles." He nodded at the apprentices who each grabbed one of the women. "So let the interrogation begin."
