Maura inspected carefully Scott's face with her gloved hands and looked at the one-way mirror where she knew that Jane would stand behind it and threw a dirty look at her wife.
Jane rolled her eyes and shook her aching hands. " He deserved it. "
Korsak frowned deeply. " What? That you beat him hospitalized? "
Jane growled dangerously. " He killed Frost. "
" Do you know that? ", Korsak argued. " Do you know that for sure? Has he confessed the murder of Frost while you have stamped on him? "
Jane gritted her teeth. " My gut feeling tells me that ... "
" For heaven's sake, Jane. ", Korsak said emphatically." Your shitty gut feeling can cost you your fucking job. You're lucky if Cavanaugh don't start a disciplinary proceedings. "
Jane exhaled loudly. " Whatever. "
Korsak shook angrily his head. " Yeah, whatever. "
Maura felt gently Scott's cheek and frowned and Scott winced. " Your cheek bone is broken and your nose has a hairline crack fracture. The jaw is also slightly broken. It has to be dealt with. However, it is not an emergency. "
Scott winced again andclosed his eyes. " The bitch's not all there. "
Maura ressed a little too hard her fingers against his jaw and he grunted. " I'm sorry. " No she wasn't really sorry.
Korsak entered the interrogation room and looked at Maura. " Can we talk to him? "
Maura nodded slowly and put off her gloves. " Yes, but after the interrogation, he must be brought directly to the hospital. "
Korsak nodded and sat down on the chair.
Jane came into the room and saw the dark look on Maura's face as she passed her wife.
Scott backed away in his chair when he saw the female detective. " What does the maniac do here? "
Korsak ignored him and opened his note pad. " Do you know why you're here? "
" No. ", Scott replied.
Jane opened a case file and put the photos of the surveillance cameras on the table and looked up. " Do you know now why you are here? "
Scot went pale and shoved the photos away. " I have no idea. "
Jane tapped at the photo where he were clearly to identify. " That is you at my house. What did you want there? "
Scott swallowed hard and searched for an answer. " I ... I ... I liked the house. "
Jane drew her eyebrows together and straightened up. " Bullshit. You put the threatening letter in front of my door. It was you, wasn't it? "
Scott opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water. " I ... No! "
Jane didn't yield. " You were in the crime lab and have mixed up the blood samples so we'll not get wise. Admit it! "
Scott's eyes went wide. " I'm a crappy steel worker and not a doctor. I have no idea of forensic science. "
Korsak opened another file and raised his eyebrows. " Fascinating. That says something completely different. You've been enrolled in the medical school of Boston. However, you were thrown out because you had a little drug problem. So especially suited to dare a detour into the world of forensic medicine. Hmm Scott? "
Scott looked between Jane and Korsak and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. " I ... "
Jane braced herself on the table and frowned. " You ... what? You want to confess the murders? You want to tell us why you committed the murders? What has spurred you? Tell us, we are all ear. "
Scott swallowed hard and wiped his forehead with his sleve. " I did not killed someone. I was just ... "
Korsak raised his eyebrows. " Yes? "
Scott sighed and dropped his shooulders. " I was just was just the messenger. "
Jane looked long at him. " Messenger for what? "
Scott exhaled loudly and shrugged. " I don't know ... well ... now I do. I didn't ... kill anyone. "
" Who sent you? ", Jane wanted to know and supressed a low growl.
Scott shook his head. " I have not the slightest idea. I was contacted by email and got instructions what I had to do.I should replace a blood sample in the forensic lab and put the letter in front of your doorstep. That was all. "
Korsak made his notes and looked over his glasses. " How did you get the access card for the lab? "
Scott shrugged again and put flat his hands on the table. " One morning it was just lying in my mailbox. "
Jane pierced him with her gaze and crossed skeptically her arms. " So ... let me reconstruct. A totally stranger contacted you via email and give you instructionsto break in the crime lab to replace a blood test and ask you random, to put a letter the threshold of a detective and the chief medical examiner. Scott, that sounds odd. Does it sound odd to you, Sergeant Detecive Korsak? "
Korsak raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Scott looked frightened at the two. " I swear to God, it happened that way. "
Jane sat slowly down. " Let's assume I would believe you. What did you get for these activities? "
Scott hesitated a moment and looked at his hands. " Special K. ", he whispered.
Jane frowned and leaned forward. " What was that? "
Scott sighed. " I got Special K. "
Korsak leaned back in his chair and looked at his former partner." Ketamine. You're an idiot, Scott. "
Jane rubbed her left eyebrow. " An idiot who stay arrested. "
Jane was on her way to the Café as her wife's voice stopped her. " Jane, can I talk to you for a minute? "
Jane looked over her shoulder and frowned. " Not right now, Maura, I just wanted to get a coffee and then go right back to work. Later, okay? "
Maura's lips were a thin line and her eyes not friendly. " Would you please follow me into my office. ", it was a statement and not a question and it left no room for an argument.
Jane sighed and followed her wife as ordered.
Maura sat down on her desk and folded her hands. " Close the door, please. "
Jane drew her eyebrows together and smirked. " Uh ... Maura, I thought that we agreed that something like this would be inappropriate at work. "
Maura didn't smiled or seemed to be amused but she waited patiently.
Jane snorted loud. " Fine. ", she said before she closed the office door. And that struck the entire mood.
Maura shoot out of her chair and braced herself at the desk. " Have you actually gone completely insane, Jane? ", she said louder and her wife froze. "What are you thinking of beating up a suspect after a chase? Have you even thought? God, God, I ... I ... You can be prosecuted for assault, losing badge ... "
" Calm down, Maura. ", Jane said reassuringly. " Nothing has happened. He'll survive it. My God, he is a man. A few bruises won't change that. "
Maura looked in disbelief at her wife. " A few ... He could have a cerebral hemorrhage by the, of you inflicted, punches. That's what you call a ' few bruises'? "
" But he have not. ", Jane replied annoyed.
Maura huffed and gritted her teeth. " What is wrong with you, Jane? "
Jane looked confused at her and drew her eyebrows together. " Nothing. "
" You are not like yourself. "
" Yes, I am. "
Maura shook her head and sat down again. " It is not like you chase after a suspect, throw yourself at him and punch him until someone have to pull you away. "
Jane wrinkled angrily her nose. " I kill Frankie. "
Maura licked her lips and sighed. " He's your brother, Jane. Frankie is also worried about you and needed someone to talk about what happened and he knew if he goes to Angela that she'll probably would have freaked out. We already told each other how we feel about the loss. Let's talk about ... "
" Stop analysing me, Maura! ", Jane cut her warningly off with her right index finger raised and she lowered her eyebrows. " I don't need you or Frankie or Ma to tell me how I feel or what I can do or not. I am fine and with that this discussion is over. "
Maura stood up again and pressed her lips together. " No, it's not. I hope you don't think that I let you walk aroud and beat up people without consequences. "
Jane smirked arrogantly. " What makes you think you can stop me. "
Maura paused. The next sentence would hurt both very much. But Jane had to be rejected in her place. " If you leave me no choice then ... then I'll have to report you and your behavior to Lieuteant Cavanaugh. "
Jane blinked a few times quickly and it was deathly pale. Had she just heard right? Threatened the person she trusted most, just with something that was for her like a treason? " What? "
Maura exhaled shakily but she stood her ground. " You heard me quiet well. "
" You wouldn't dare. ", Jane growled dangerously low.
Maura raised her eyebrows. " If you compel me to do so. "
Jane stared her down and her facial muscles twitched. " And you call yourself my wife ... shame on you. ", with that she turned around, stormed out of the office and banged the door slammed behind her closed.
Maura stood behind her desk, closed her eyes and whimpered.
Susie came into the office and looked questioningly at her boss. " Dr. Isles, is everything okay? "
Maura turned away and wiped away the tear on her cheek. " Yes ... yes, I have something in my eye. Everything is alright, Susie. "
Susie hesitated for a moment and pointed with her thumb over her shoulder. " Well ... I'll better get back to work. "
Maura nodded and swallowed hard.
Jane came back into the bullpen and grabbed her jacket from the back of her chair.
Korsak looked up and drew his eyebrows together. " What do you think you are going? "
Jane stared at him and started to march.
Korsak slowly stood up. " Jane? "
"What? ", Jane literally yelled.
Korsak paused and sighed. " What's wrong? "
Jane closed her eyes and counted to ten. " Nothing. Everything is more then fine. What should be wrong? "
Korsak nodded slowly. " Shall we ... grab a mug of coffee and look for a quite place so we can ... you know. "
Jane breathed heavily and needed all will power to tame the hell dog within her. " No. "
" Are you sure? "
" Korsak! "
Korsak held up both hands and wrinkled his eyebrows. " Allright, allright. Then go and do whatever you need to do. "
Jane didn't thanked him or said good bye as she left the bullpen again.
Korsak looked after her and shook worridly his head. " God damnit. "
