Jane stood in her underwear in the bedroom and sighed deeply as she stared at her so hated uniform. She knew that this day had to come but she also hated it.

Maura stepped out of the bathroom in a simple but black dress and frowned. " Jane, please do Frost the honor and put on your uniform. And I'm absolutely not in the mood to discuss with you if you look like a man or not. If you start complaining I knock you unconscious, dress you and drag you to the car. "

Jane looked at her wife and frowned deeply. " I wasn't about to complain. It's just ... ", she sighed. " The last time I wore it was a special occasion ... our wedding. Now it's just a sad occasion ... Frost's funeral. "

Maura hesitated and walked to her wife to kiss her gently. " The case is solved, we found the killer. It's just about time till you find him, Jane. Now let's focus on Frost's funeral service. "

Jane rolled her eyes and started to get dressed. " I don't know why Camille want me to do the eulogy. "

Maura kissed her again and smiled slightly. " Because you are a great natural orator. And because you are a close friend of Frost. "

Jane snorted and rolled her eyes. " What a friend let her friend die? "

Maura sighed with a frown. " Jane, please get dressed. "

Jane stood in the pulpit of Frost's church and cleared her throat while she looked into the crowd of Officers, Detectives, friends and family. She took a deep breath and frowned. " I prepared a little speech because Frost's Mom asked me for. I mean ... I don't mind, Frost was a close friend, a good friend ... and a great partner. The best I had ... beside Korsak. ", she said and smiled as her colleagues chuckled. " If Barry wouldn't be I would never have had the courage to tell my now wife that I love her. He literally dragged me to her house and forced me to spit my heart out. ", she looked at Maura and smirked broadly as her wife smiled. " Because of him I have my own little magic. ", she closed her eyes and shook her head as tears threatened to fall and took a deep breath. " I think I should get started. ", she exhaled loudly and looked into the crowd. " Dear Frost! Unspeakable difficult it is to have to say goodbye to a man you love, you owes a lot, and from a man that could have got so much good from life. Joy, community ... ", she paused and took a deep breath while she frowned. " love. Frost, we are here, or in our thoughts with you, to pay our last respect to you, because we couldn't say it anymore in life. Frost is gone and we are sad. Many have felt connected to him, and it will remain so ... ", Jane sniffed and pointed at her chest. " in the heart, in remembering and telling of ... of what we experienced with him. Frost was a man who gave all facets of his life a meaning, whether in good or in bad times. He walked with his head against the walk ... ", she smiled as somw people chuckled but sobered immediately. " and reached his goals with giftedness. He was for me not,only a colleague ...", Jane stopped and fought hard against the upcoming tears hard. " but also a friend ... a brother ... who listened and was always there when you needed him. Frost was very honest,what I really liked about him. He was always for me a role model. You could have had serious talks with Frost, but he'd never rejected a good joke. ", she smiled a little. " Frost was always a friend who was open and straight, but also not afraid to tell his opinion even if he got into strong headwind. You can say with certainty that the Homicide was a source of his strength, a confirmation and fulfillment of his life. He had so much ahead ... ", she paused and sighed. " Dear friend ... dear brother ... dear Barry, we love and think of you. You are always with us. You're just one step ahead ... ", Jane stopped again and frowned. " We'll meet again. " Jane escaped fast from the pulpit and ran thumb over her cheek to wipe away a tear that had fallen without her permission.

Maura took her wife's hand as Jane sat down next to her and smiled weakly. " You did great. "

Jane sighed deeply. " Thank you. "

Maura came to her wife and noddq. " How much did you had of those? "

Jane looked down at the whisky tumbler in her hand and frowned. " Two or three. "

Maura raised an skeptical eyebrow but dropped the topic. " Your speech was really nice. "

Jane shrugged and emptied the glass. " I hate funeral services. "

Maura sighed and ordered a glass of wine. " I wouldn't say that I like them very much either. But we are about to close the case and bring justice to the victims. "

Jane frowned and sighed deeply. But before she could say something she felt an pair of arms wrapped around her shoulders. She wrinkled her nose as Frankie hugged her. " Jesus ... "

Frankie let go of her and sighed deeply. " Your eulogy was great. "

Jane smiled a little and shrugged. " I just said what I thought. Did you see Ma? "

Frankie nodded and pointed with his thumb over his shoulder. " She's with Camille and Robin. Sharing some childhood memories. "

" I hope about their childhood. ", Jane grumbled low and Maura chuckled.

Frankie made a face and shook his head. " Nah, I don't think so. "

Jane growled and wanted to walk to her mother. " She'll drive me crazy. "

Maura grabbed Jane's wrist and stopped her. " Jane, let them. It's a form of coping. "

Jane sighed loudly and dropped her shoulders. " Fine. I'll let them laugh about my naked butt as I refused to take a bath as I was five. "

Maura raised her eyebrows high.

Jane started to grin. " I ran away from Ma while she chased me through the whole house and backyard. "

Maura chuckled amused. " Did she catch you? "

" Nope. ", Jane said with a shook of her head and smiled proudly.

" I think I remember that one. ", Frankie said.

Jane looked long at him. " Can't be, brother. You were with, Pop. "

Frankie blushed in the deepest shade of red while Maura laughed.

Jane chuckled and clapped his shoulder. " Don't worry, Frankie. We've done a lot of things to drive Ma crazy. "

Maura rolled her eyes. " You still do your best, Jane. "

Jane raised her eyebrows. " I never five up when I start something. "

Frankie gave her high five and Maura rolled her eyes again.

Jane groaned as the ringing of her cell phone made its way to her brain. She furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to turn onto her back but the arm which was wrapped around her wife's middle was held tighter. She sighed as she tried it again but without success. " Maura, my phone is ringing. I need my arm back. "

Maura stiffened and sighed, signs that she was about to wake up.

" Maura. ", Jane tried again.

Maura frowned and turned her face to her wife. " What? "

Jane had to chuckle as she saw Maura's sleepy eyes. " I need my arm back so I can call the person back who tried to reach me while you held my arm hostage. "

Maura looked at the arm of Jane and released if. " Sorry. ", she sighed and lay back her head onto the pillow.

Jane chuckled and checked her phone. She groaned again as she saw Korsak's name and called him back. " Korsak, I hope you have a good reason to wake me up at three a.m. ", she listened attentional and a deep frown crawled onto her forehead. " What? ", she literally shouted and Maura shot up in a sitting position. " God damnit! "

Maura frowned too as she carefully rubbed her face with both hands. She looked at her wife and waited till Jane hung up. " Jane, what is it? "

Jane stared in disbelief at her phone. " We found Jason Tucker ... He's ... he's dead. "

Maura exhaled loudly as the information reached her brain. This was a surprising turnaround, a fatal turnaround.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jane and Maura came to the new crime scene while they put on their gloves.

Jane looked up and frowned as she saw Korsak. " What do we have? "

Korsak sighed and nodded into the direction of a room. " Something really bad. He's in the bathroom. "

Maura sighed again and walked to the said bathroom. She paused as a stench hit her hard.

Jane looked around in the apartment and drew her eyebrows together. " Who's apartment is this? "

Korsak looked at his notepad. " Jason Tucker's aficionado. A Ruby Smith. She also found Jason in the tub. "

Jane took a deep breath and walked in the same direction like her wife. She stopped abruptly at the door and raised her eyebrows. She felt like she walked against an invisible wall. ' What the hell is that smell? "

Maura looked up with a frown, a little pale. " Battery acid and human tissue. "

Jane looked into the tub and regretted it immediately. She felt like she could throw up right in time as soon as she saw the semi-disintegrated carcass of Jason Tucker which laid right in front of her. " What the hell happened to him? "

Maura looked at her with raised eyebrows. " I can tell you after the autopsy. "

Jane wrinkled her nose with a disgusted look. " Someone wanted that Jason disappeared.", she stopped as she saw the look of her wife. " What? I don't believe that Jason took a bath in battery acid voluntary. "

Maura rolled her eyes and examined the corpse again.
