Universe 201
"It's Detective Jane Rizzoli," she said thickly towards the over weight man she was questioning.
"Yeah, sure. Hot piece of ass like you? No way you're a Detective." He sat back in his chair smugly. Frost leaned forward menacingly ready to defend Jane. She rested her hand on his shoulder, silently telling him it's OK.
"Well, a hot piece of ass is charging you with second degree murder." The man perked up now, face shocked.
"What the hell do you mean second degree murder?"
"Where were you last night around five in the afternoon?"
"I was at my shop, workin'." He crossed he's arms, glaring at Jane and Frost.
"Now we're getting somewhere." Korsak's voice rang into the ear piece she was wearing. They we're sitting in the BPD interrogation room. They cut a lucky break with this case when Frost stumbled upon a business's surveillance footage that showed the entrance of the alleyway the woman was murdered in. The man sitting in front of them was Carl Joseph; he showed up walking out of the alleyway right around the time Maura had dubbed the time of death of there victim. Frost looked up at Jane.
"Bullshit." Jane slammed down a blown up image of Carl walking out, time stamped 5:03 P.M. Carl's face paled, but he kept quiet. Frost spoke up.
"It just so happens you walked out when," He laid out three photos of their Jane Doe's battered face and body before Carl. "She was murdered. We can't help but think that you had something to do with it." Carl looked disgusted and he pushed the photos away from him.
"NO! I didn't have nothin' to do with that bitche's death." Jane sat down next to Frost, leaning forward. She noticed a small flicker of something in his eyes and then it was gone.
"You know who she is?" Carl shook his head, Jane sighed trying at another tactic.
"Then why did you tell us you were at your auto shop when you weren't Carl?" He looked away again.
"If I tell you you'll arrest me." Frost let a gruff laugh. Just then Jane's phone buzzed. She pulled it out and read the quick text from Maura,
I just finished the autopsy. Come down when you can. Found something maybe.
"Jane? Need me to come in?" Jane nodded at the two way mirror and the door opened letting Korsak to walk in. Walking by him Jane said,
"Try to get everything out of him, he knows something. I'm going to go see what Maura's got." Korsak nodded at took a spot behind Carl. Jane let the door close firmly behind her and made her way over to the elevators.
She rubbed her hands as the cold air of the morgue assaulted them. Maura looked up from a clip board she was holding and smiled at Jane. She returned the greeting and said,
"What do you have Maur? Carl up there isn't speaking." Maura finished writing something on her clip board before walking over to the draped body that lay on her autopsy table. She was around thirty year's old, long brown hair and a small scar on her cheek. She was skinny for her height and when Maura pulled back the cover to show Jane something, she could see the woman's ribs and her hip bones lurched out. The woman's body was covered in small cuts and larger bruises. Maura pointed towards largest bruise on the right serratus anterior.
"That's not the cause of death right?" Jane looked up at Maura who frowned a little.
"No. I'm ruling the cause of death asphyxiation." Jane raised her eyebrow at her. Maura grabbed the x-ray machine and swiveled it around towards the dark purple marks they were looking at. They both looked up at the screen; almost all of the woman's ribs on her right side were broken. Jane let out a low whistle.
"Damn that must have hurt." Maura pointed at the screen with her pen, ignoring Jane's curse.
"Her forth rib was broken here," she ran her pointer showing Jane the break. "And entered the right lung here, puncturing it."
"So, what? Her lung filled up with blood and she choked on it?" Maura shook her head again.
"No. I almost missed it with her face being so beaten." Maura leaned down towards the woman's face and turned it to show Jane something. "There's bruising around her mouth, cheeks and upper nose." Jane finally saw it, there was a bruise starting to show, it looked like a hand print.
"So the killer beat her, broke her ribs and leg and then suffocated her with his hand?" Jane guessed.
"It would appear so." Maura said, frowning a little bit at Jane's guessing.
"Hmmm. Did they leave any prints?" Jane rubbed her hands a little bit, deep in thought.
"No they didn't. But I asked Susie to check on Jane Doe's prints to see if anything came up." As if she knew they were talking about her Susie walked in.
"Here are the test results you wanted on the skin and Jane Doe's fingerprints." Maura nodded at Susie who left. Maura read quietly over the paper, Jane rocking on her heels waiting.
"Her Name is Jessica Givenchy and the skin I found underneath her fingernails didn't come up with anything." Jane frowned.
"I'll ask Frost to look up Jessica and see what we can find out about her." Jane pulled out her cell phone.
"I found something else too Jane." Maura added in, hoping this would help her best friend. "There was excess vaginal tearing." Jane looked up at Maura,
"Jessica's killer raped her?" Maura pulled the cover back up over the deceased woman before answering.
"I don't think so. The tears look old; I would say they happened a few days prior to her death." Maura looked down at her clipboard but Jane's voice drew her attention away from it.
"Maybe she did get raped and she reported it and the man," Maura jumped in,
"Or woman." Jane ignored her and kept talking,
"Killed her for reporting it." Jane snapped her fingers, glad that this case looked like it was coming to a close.
"Must you always jump to conclusion?" Maura asked her. Jane slipped her phone back into its case on her belt.
"Yup. I'm going to go head up to the brick and see what the boys got out of Carl and fill them in with everything that you told me." Jane quickly excited the room, leaving Maura by herself again. Maura turned her attention back towards her clip board. She jumped a little as arms wrapped around her waist and someone nuzzled their face into the side of her neck, sprinkling it with soft kisses.
"I knew you forgot something." Maura murmured turning around in Jane's arms kissing her hard. Jane smiled through the kiss pulling back to look at her.
"I," a peck on the nose. "Will," on her right cheek. "Never," on her left. "Forget." Jane kissed Maura's lips which quickly grew deeper, Maura let out a soft moan as Jane pushed herself hard against her. Jane's phone vibrating made both women jump. Not letting go of Maura, Jane reached down and read the text message from Frost.
Stop making out with your girlfriend and get up here.
Jane smiled. "I have to go Maur. But we're still on for lunch?" Maura kissed Jane again as she let go of her finally.
"Yes we are." Jane waved goodbye through the glass windows as she walked away.
Jane was greeted with Frost waiting for her outside of the elevator.
"I ran Jessica's name and she's been charged with several accounts of prostitution. We also managed to get Carl to tell us everything." Jane walked with him to the brick.
"What did he say?"
"That he was there because he was buying cocaine from he's dealer."
"Do we know who that is?" Korsak barged in through the doors then, folder in hand.
"He goes by the name of Titian, but his real name is Jay Lukas. Get this, he's Jessica's pimp." Jane looked over the old case folder that Frost handed her after her was done reading it. She pulled out her cell phone sending a quick text.
"Why don't we go meet this Titian," Jane said, standing up and grabbing her blazer.
"You guys go ahead, I'm going to stay here and see what I can dig up on him." Frost said as he sat down at the computer.
"Text me what you get." Jane threw over her shoulder.
"Vanilla!" someone shouted from behind Jane. Korsak gave Jane a sideways look as they turned around to face Rondo. "When you call, I come runnin'." Rondo gave Jane a once over.
"Rondo. I was wondering if you could help us locate a man that goes by the name Titian." Rondo rubbed his hands together.
"Titian… hmm, I know that name sounds familiar…" Jane slapped twenty bucks into his hand. "It's still kinda fuzy." With a sigh Jane gave him another twenty. "He normally hangs out around that joint called the Fly Cat. Always has his homies around him and his girls too. If you're goin' after him Vanilla I would be careful." Jane nodded her head as Rondo left.
"Are you sure we can trust him Jane?" Korsak asked as they made their way down the street, looking for the club Rondo had said.
"Yes Korsak, he's helped me out plenty of times." Korsak grunted and they grew silent. Women walked by them, giving them a looks before they kept walking. Jane sighed, she had worked this street before, and she knew how hard it was. Suddenly Korsak spoke up.
"You and the Doc seem to be going steady." Jane smiled at Korsak.
"Yeah we are. I'm glad we finally decided to get together. It's been the happiest month of my whole life." Korsak was taken back at Jane's openness, usually she would close up and give him clipped answers when it came to her personal life. He took advantage of it, teasing her.
"Have you told her you loved her yet?" Korsak made a gushy face at Jane who shoved his shoulder playfully.
"No I have not old man." Korsak faked hurt.
"Old man!" He grasped at his chest. Jane laughed at him and kept walking, the club in site. They stepped into a large dark lit room, a bar at one side and booths sunken into the ground lined the floor, and there was a stage where a girl was dancing on a pole in front of a large group of people, no one really paying attention to her. Jane and Korsak walked over tense, ready for anything. Jane spoke up first.
"Jay Lukas?" The crowd went silent, all glaring at Jane and Korsak.
"Who wants to know?" said a small white man sitting in the middle of the group.
"Detective Jane Rizzoli and Detective Vince Korsak. We're with the Boston Police Department, we would like to ask you a few questions," Jane eyed the group. "Alone."
"I don't have to talk to you." Jay said looking over at a woman sitting next to him, gently rubbing his leg.
"Did you know Jessica Givenchy?" The woman's movements stilled as Jay's face paled. He waved his hand and everyone got up and left, including the dancer.
"What the fuck has she done now?" Jay asked.
"She's dead." Korsak deadpanned. Jane glanced at him as Jay leaned back into his seat rubbing his face, clearly shaken.
"Were where you last night at five P.M.?" Jane asked.
"I was here… Doing business," He added quickly.
"What kind of business?" Korsak asked.
"I don't have to tell you that." Jay spat at Korsak.
"Can you prove that you were here?" Jane asked taking notes in her field journal.
"Yeah, Hector was here with me." He pointed towards the man that was behind the bar.
"We have someone else saying that you were meeting them at the alleyway on sixth at five. Know anything about that?" Korsak asked trying to get enough information out of this man as he could before he got scared and stopped talking. Jay stilled his movements.
"Yeah, I was supposed to go, but I couldn't make it, so I sent Jessica instead." Jane and Korsak exchanged a look. Jane's phone vibrated with a phone call. Seeing it was Frost Jane excused herself and answered it.
"Frost what's up?"
"JANE GET OUT THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" He yelled into the phone, she could hear sirens in the background.
"Frost slow down, what now?" Korsak looked over at her, worried.
"ITS CARL! Carl killed Jessica and is now going after Jay! You have to get out of there!"
"I thought Carl was still at the bullpen?" Jane asked hurriedly, waving Korsak over.
"No! We released him because we couldn't hold him for anything after making that deal with him. JUST GET OUT OF TH-" Sounds of gun shots ripped through the air. Jane ducked, feeling Korsak's arm go around her shoulders, protecting her. When they stopped Korsak and her pulled out there guns simultaneously and took cover.
"JAY!" Came a yell from the front of the store as Carl kicked it down. The man cowered behind Jane and Korsak. Jane popped up quickly to get a look at Carl. He had an automatic rifle grasped in his hands and a pistol strapped to his leg, he was also wearing a bulky vest, not a bullet proof one, but something was inside of it. Carl fired again, this time at the bar. Jane heard screams as people were hit. Sirens could be heard off in the distance.
"Carl! Stop this!" Jane yelled from their position behind a turned over table. He fired the gun again and bullet holes appeared above the wall Jane was next to. She ducked as drywall dust fell on her. Korsak stood up and fired at Carl who ducked behind the bar.
"No I won't stop till I kill that BASTERED!" Carl yelled, spraying them with more bullets. Korsak stood up again offering Jane cover fire as she moved up to get a better angle on Carl. Jane leaned out behind a wall she crouched behind and fired, Carl quickly ducked avoiding her shots. Korsak ran forward to get closer also, but Carl jumped up and fired, hitting Korsak in the leg making him fall with a cry. Jane snapped around the wall, gun raise, and eyes like fire. She pulled the trigger shooting her gun twice into Carl's chest, making him fly back. Korsak was lying on the ground clutching his leg and when she got near him he said,
"Go, make sure he's dead, I'll be alright." Jane lingered for a second before jogging over to behind the bar where Carl's body laid. Jane was a few feet from him as he coughed up blood, with a grin he choked out,
"Die you pig." Jane watched as he pressed a red button he was holding. She turned and started to run away from him but she was assaulted with a wall of flame as Carl blew himself up.
Universe 378
Konif and Jane stepped off of the elevator when Jane suddenly placed her hand against the wall for support holding her side.
"Ow!" Konif looked over at her.
"You all right there Captain?" She placed her hand on Jane's back. Jane straightened up, rubbing her abdomen.
"Yeah, I just suddenly got a pain in my side." She continued to rub as they walked towards the medbay.
"It's probably because you havn't eaten anything."
"I'm sure that's it."
Universe 201
Frost dived back from the building as an explosion erupted from it.
"JANE! VINCE!" He yelled, S.W.A.T. cars pulled up next to the building and the men took position, allowing the flames to die down. Maura stepped up to Frost starting to run in but he quickly grabbed her.
"No Maura! Stay back here!" He signaled a uni to hold Maura back.
"JANE!" She yelled trying to fight against the arms holding her.
"Maura, I will personally make sure she gets out of there." Frost grabbed her shoulders and looked into that beautiful horrified face.
"Barry… please."
Frost bolted for the broken door and entered the building, arm covering his face trying not to breathe in the smoke. A table moved and there was coughing. He ran over to find Korsak covered in grim, a gash in his forehead and bleeding from a shot in the leg. He coughed loudly before saying,
"Barry, Jane. She was over there when-" He was assaulted by another wave of coughing. Frost looked over to where Korsak pointed. The bar was nothing more than broken wood lying around. He didn't even bat an eye when he spotted a severed hand. He walked over, looking out for Jane anywhere. He then spotted her. She was covered in a pile of broken wood and half of a table. Running over he lifted the table off, yelling,
"I NEED A MEDIC IN HERE NOW!"
One side of her suit was burnt off completely leaving her exposed. Large shards of wood stabbed into her stomach, leg and shoulder; all gushing blood. Her skin was black and red in areas, in other's gone all together. He could see the bones in Jane's left arm and when he looked up to her face he tried to wipe his own tears away. She was staring at him with her right eye, her left not responding. She was shaking violently, her own tears rolling down her face. The left side of her face was burnt off, reveling her skull underneath. Her tongue flicked out against her tongue, trying to form words. Frost leaned forward listening.
"T-t-tell," she coughed loudly but continued. "Maura that I-" She started to cough more, blood spluttering out of her mouth. Her eye lolled in the back of her skull as her twitching got worse. Suddenly hands were pulling Frost back as the medics took over. Frost was dazed as he walked out of the building, finding Korsak on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on. He ripped it off to talk to the ashen faced man.
"FROST! Jane? Please tell me!?" Frost didn't answer. Jane was wheeled out of the building, her wounds exposed for everyone to see. There came a scream as Maura finally saw Jane.
"NO!" She fought hard against the man that was holding her, desperate to get to Jane. He finally let go and she ran forward.
Jane was still shaking, lurching herself around, the EMTs trying to hold her still. Everyone became silent as they saw Jane and watched as Maura who was sobbing, grasp her undamaged hand gripping it tightly. Those signature long black locks no more, her intimidating face forever ruined, her sculpted abs and legs no longer able to help her take down a wanted person. Jane Rizzoli would never be the same if she lived this. Maura Isles would never be the same. They loaded her up into the ambulance, telling Maura that she couldn't come in. She turned quickly to Frost who was already running to his car.
As soon as they got to the hospital the parking lot was full of police cars. Parking randomly Maura and Frost bolted for the ER. The waiting room was packed full of cops, Frankie spotted them, Angela gripping his arm.
"Tell me it's not true!" Frankie almost yelled, tears in his eyes, Angela was already sobbing. Maura pushed herself forward not caring for the conversation, one thing on her mind. They wouldn't' allow her in because Jane was being rushed to emergency surgery, and that's all they could tell her. Maura sank into a chair, the image of a destroyed Jane burning in her mind's eye.
They waited for what felt like days until finally a Doctor came out.
"Jane Rizzoli?" Everyone stood up, listening. "Uhm, I need to speak with the family of Jane." Angela looked around the room at everyone standing there.
"This is Jane's family. We can all hear it." She wiped at her eyes as Maura looped her arm through hers. Maura had yet to speak more than a few words, not really knowing what to say. The Doctor cleared his throat before speaking to the forty plus people in the room.
"Jane Rizzoli has suffered a major injury. She has third degree burns covering ninety percent of her body." The crowd of people gasped a little. "Three pieces of broken wood were recovered from her abdomen; we did what we could to stop the bleeding. We had to remove a part of her liver, stomach and small intestine. As for the pieces of shrapnel that had pierced her shoulder and leg, they did minimal damage." The crowed sighed a little. "However, she became too unstable to finish the surgery. She is in the ICU. We're waiting until she becomes more stable to open her back up. We are allowing visitors but only one at a time." Angela followed the doctor to Jane's room while the rest waited in the waiting room. They received news of Korsak. He was doing fine and they managed to get the bullet out with no trouble. Some people went to go visit him to pass the time.
Maura was sitting next to Jane's side looking at her. White bandages covered her whole body, except her right hand, which was clutched in Maura's. Maura wasn't saying anything, she was silently crying and sending what Jane had always called good vibes towards her to help her recover. Suddenly beeping on the heart monitor drew Maura's attention. It grew faster and more sporadic, Jane started to jerk. Doctors and nurses arrived in the room; they forced Maura out who was fighting them, wanting to stay. Dark arms wrapped around her and pulled her out into the hallway, Frost murmured words of comfort to Maura as they watched through the room window. The monitor drew a flat line, a haunting beeee echoed throughout the room and hall. They watched, Maura shaking and Frost standing like stone, as they set the paddles to Jane's chest and she was shot up with the electricity that raced through her. The monitor continued its mocking tone. They tried three more times before the Doctor stepped back with a sigh.
"Time of death 11:57 A.M."
"NOOO!" Maura screamed loudly, Frost holding her tightly.
oh my gosh.
So that wasn't so nice of me now was it?
PLEASE! Stick with me on this. Everything happened in this chapter for a reason. And in due time, it will all be explained, I promise.
Thank you for reading this and giving it a chance.
Take care. FTP
