Sorry this took so long. I've had a lot of school work and then I've just gotten into the SyFy show, Warehouse 13 which is an awesome show and the chemistry between Myka and Helena is amaing and obvious. Lol. Anyway. Here it is. I hope you guys like it. And thanks you again for the fav, alerts, and comments.
Jane was agitated. The Fairfield lawyer, Colman was blocking them. They couldn't get near the family. Even Maura was unreachable. She'd taken a few days off to be with the family. Jane didn't mind that. She was upset because after the other day she hadn't called or answered fer phone.
"Whats wrong with you," Korsak asked.
"I think Maura is avoiding me. And not because of the case. " Korsak handed her a coffee.
"Then why?"
"I took her home and kinda walked in on her changing her shirt. I saw a bruise on her back and some others that were fading. I was right. Garret has been abusing her."
"What did she say?"
"She loves him." She took a drink of her coffee. "She won't leave him." She shook her head. "I know I couldn't say anything to change her mind. I told her I was worried about her and if she needed anything to call me. I let her know I wasn't mad at her." Korsak nodded.
"Good. She'll come too you when she's ready."
"I just wish she'd call me so I'd know she was okay."
"Don't blame her. The whole family is on lock down. Well except Sumner. Me and Frost went to speak with him. Frost is checking his alibi." Korsak patted her shoulder. "Why don't you go get some lunch." Jane sighed. "Go on. We'll call you if anything comes up." Jane nodded. She left him sitting next to her desk. He knew she needed some time.
Maura stood in one of the many rooms of Martha Fairfield's house. There were a lot of people at the memorial. Most she was sure was only there for show. She hadn't left Garret's side all night. She wanted to get away. She'd grown tired of Garret's arm around her waist or his hand gripping her arm. Finally she excused herself to the bathroom.
Maura was just leaving the bathroom when something caught her eye. She saw Jocelyn and Sumner kissing. A gasp escaped before she could stop herself. They quickly separated. They saw her. She didn't know what to do so she just watched as Sumner led Jocelyn down the hall.
"Maura." She turned to face the family lawyer, Colman.
"They're having an affair," she said. Colman pulled her into a near by room.
"Yes."
"You should inform Det. Rizzoli. They could have killed Adam," she told him.
"They had nothing to do with Adam's death, Maura. They were...having relations in a hotel room the entire day." Maura nodded.
"Well Jane needs to know this so she won't waist time looking at them as suspects." Colman scoffed.
"So she can make a few bucks selling it to the tabloids? I don't think so, Maura."
"Jane would never do that, Mr. Colman. I've known her long enough to know she isn't that kind of person. I also know if this has nothing to do with her case she'll leave them alone."
"Really? Like she's been leaving you alone?" Maura sighed.
"Jane is my friend. She's concerned for me. Anyway Garret has asked that I...avoid contact with her until this is dealt with. I have respected his wishes."
"Do you really trust Det. Rizzoli," Colman asked. Maura nodded. Colman would not pretend to understand Maura but she was always honest. "I'll consider your advice."
"Maura." She jumped at the sound of Garret's voice. This did not go unnoticed by Colman. He opened the door just as Garret was walking past. He spun around.
"What are you two doing," he asked.
"Maura stumbled upon Sumner and Jocelyn," he answered. "I was explaining how important it was to be discrete." Garret looked at Maura. She nodded.
"Yes, well. Come along, Maura. Its time to sit down for dinner." He took Maura's hand and led her out of the room. She could tell he was displeased. She tried not to think of what he might do.
She thought of Jane. She didn't deserve his anger. Maybe Jane was right, but how could she get away. Garret was about to take hold of an international company. How could she escape if he didn't want to let her go.
Jane was surprised when Colman walked up to her in the bull pin and handed her a yellow envelope. She looked at him confused as she took them from him. He gave her a stern look.
"I am trusting not just you but Dr. Isles-Fairfield as well, detective. If you leak this to the press I'll have your badge."
"What is this," Jane asked.
"Proof that Sumner and Jocelyn Fairfield did not murder Adam. They were having an affair. Not that Adam minded much. He had his own affair. There was no problem as long as it was kept secret." Jane scoffed.
"Nice family."
"Good day, detective." He turned to leave.
"Wait," Jane said. She stepped closer. "How is she? Maura I mean? She doing okay?"
"She's fine." Jane nodded.
"Good." Colman paused. She really did care for Maura.
"She's not ignoring your calls. The entire family is on lockdown. She's just doing as she's told." Jane gave a nod. Colman returned it and left the bull pin. Korsak and Frost walked over.
"What was that about, Jane," Korsak asked.
"Lets find out." She led them to the computer room to go over what Colman had given her.
Jane had just sat down on her couch to eat a quick take out dinner before bed. They were at a loss. So she was taking a break. Frost was doing his computer thing. Her phone started vibrating. She didn't even look at the id before answereing it.
"What is it Ma," she asked.
"Jane." That was Maura.
"Maura?" Jane shot up. "Hey. Are you okay? I've tried calling..."
"I know I'm sorry. I just wanted to see I Colman spoke with you."
"Yeah. Sumner and Jocelyn are in the clear. Frost is working on a new theory."
"I'm sorry I've been avoiding you. Please forgive me. I couldn't bare it if you hated me." Jane smiled.
"I could never hate you Maura. You're my best friend." She heard a sniffle. "Are you okay?"
"Yes. Its just...no one's ever said that to me before."
"Well I mean it. I hope this is over soon. I miss you at work."
"I miss you, too." There was a moment of silence. "I have to go. Garret will be looking for me." Jane felt a tickle of anger at the thought of the man.
"Call me if you need anything Maura."
"I will. Take care."
"You too." She ended the call and tossed the phone back on the table. She heaved a sigh as she lay back on her couch. She was so worried about Maura, but there was nothing she could do until Maura was ready. She silently prayed Garret wouldn't hurt her again. No longer hungry Jane got up and went to bed.
Hope to update soon. Hope you liked it. Wish me luck no my school stuff so I can work more on this and I'm working on a Warehouse 13 fic as well. :) Don't forget to review. Love you guys.
