Korsak came into the bullpen and looked at his former partner. " Your mother look like she could embrace the whole world. "

Jane looked up from her notes and rolled her eyes. " Must be because Maura and I told her some good news some days ago. "

" Care to share? ", Korsak asked as he sat down at his desk.

Jane looked long at him and considered her answer. She was glad as Masterson and Frankie came into the bullpen too. " Hey, any luck with Chad? "

Frankie sighed and and dropped onto his chair. " Yeah, if you like to see how a guy break down and tell you that he wasn't in town. "

Jane sighed and leaned back into her chair. " Great. So, nothing. What do we have at least? "

" Not much because Maura hadn't performed the autopsy yet. ", Masterson said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

Jane drew her eyebrows together and cleared her throat as she heard her wife's name. " Well .., yeah ... we had an important appointment. "

Masterson rolled his eyes and raised an eyebrow. " What kind of appointment would be more important than to find a killer? "

Jane raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips. " Well ... uh ...", she sighed as her phone vibrated. She checked her message and stood up. " Maura want to share something with us. Come on. "

Masterson drew his eyebrows together and looked skeptically at Frankie who shrugged and stood up like Korsak.

Maura heard the sound of shoes and looked up. She smiled as she saw Jane, Frankie, Korsak and Masterson entered the autopsy room. " The whole clique. "

Jane stopped dead and raised an eyebrow. " The first whole gang, Maura. "

Maura rolled her eyes and pointed at the body. " Shall we? "

Jane smirked. " Please, after you. "

Maura smiled and looked at the Detectives. " I found something odd. "

" Beside that she is dead? ", Frankie asked with a small smile.

Maura looked at him and frowned before she lifted up the right eyelid.

Frankie gagged as he saw the empty eye socket, " Jesus, couldn't you just warn me? "

Maura smiled at his reaction. " Both vitreous bodies are removed. "

Jane drew her eyebrows together. " By an dabbler? "

Maura shook her head and frowned. " No, the nervus opticus was cut through with an surgical precession. See? "

Jane leaned forward and stared into the nothing while she drew her eyebrows together again. " Mhm. "

Frankie turned away in disgust. " Gosh, you two are gross. "

Jane's head shot up and she glared at her brother. " Hey! "

Frankie recognized the hurt look of Maura and blushed. " That's not how I meant it. Sorry, Maura. Keep ... keep going. "

Jane's facial muscles twitched and she clenched her fists until she composed herself again. She took a deep breath and looked at her wife. " So, someone with a medical training cut out her eyes. But why? "

Masterson cleared his throat and rubbed his right eyebrow. " Some people say that our eyes are the mirror of the soul. Well ... even I say so. ", he said as he looked into Maura's eyes and saw her whole goodness and smiled as she blushed a little. " In the eyes you can see how a person feels. They are showing exhaustion, sadness, happiness, they may radiate or be turbide. They also say that the eyes don't lie. I think so too. You can say what you want but your eyes tells the truth. "

" What does my eyes say right now? ", Jane almost growled.

Masterson looked into her eyes and cleared his throat as he saw a dangerous fire in them. " To ... focus back on the case. "

Frankie and Korsak chuckled.

Jane smirked again and sighed. " Okay ... let's guess ... ", she paused when she earned an eye roll of her wife. " Let's assume ... ", she dropped her shoulders as Maura rolled her eyes again. " Wha ... Maura, really? Still? ", she sighed as Maura pouted. " Let's theorize that the killer thinks that too. What did he saw in her eyes? "

" Maybe the truth. ", Korsak said and shrugged. " Bare fear. "

" Or that he is a monster. ", Frankie added.

Jane blinked a few times as she jumped on the train of thoughts. " Or maybe he saw nothing. "

Maura slowly looked at her. " You think that he thought that she was soulless? "

Jane shrugged. " It is an possibility, isn't it? "

Maura shrugged with her eyebrows.

Later that day Jane entered the office of her wife and closed the door behind her. " Maura, can we talk? "

Maura looked up from her laptop and smiled. " Of course. You don't have to ask, Jane. "

Jane sat down across from her wife and scrutinized her with a deep frown. " You were flattered today. "

Maura looked confused at Jane. " I'm not sure where that came from or where this will lead to, Jane. "

Jane sighed and rubbed her face with both hands. " You were flattered as Masterson talked about eyes and mirrors of the soul. "

Maura closed the lid of the computer and licked her lips. " You know I can't lie. And even if I would be capable to lie I wouldn't. Because, Jane, I wouldn't lie to those I love. To answer your unsaid question. Yes, I was flattered as Ryan said those words directed towards to me. ", she sighed and smiled. " But not because he said what he said. But because as he said it you stared into my eyes. And what I saw in them made me blush and flattered. Because ... Jane ... do you know what I see when you look into your eyes? ", she said and Jane shook her red head. " I see nothing but pure love. I see pure love that you only have for me. I feel like a school girl who is madly in love with you that it sometimes hurt. But when I look into your eyes I know you feel exactly the same way like I do. Then I know that I am not insane. ", she chuckled lightly. " When you lay your beautiful brown eyes on me I feel like I am the only woman who exist on this planet ... in this universe. "

" You are. ", Jane whispered and looked up with nothing but love in her eyes. " You are the only woman who exist in my universe, Maura. ", she stopped and wrinkled her nose. " Beautiful? Really? Those plain-colored, boring brown eyes? "

Maura smiled broadly. " Those are the most beautiful, plain-colored, boring eyes I have ever seen in my entire life, Jane. "

Jane smiled and sighed as she sobered again. " I think he's still in love with you. "

Maura leaned forward and frowned. " I don't care because I am in love with you, Jane. "

Jane sat there and let the words sink in. She frowned deeply. " I love you too, Maura. ", she whispered barely audible.

Maura knew better and remained sie. She knew that she hadn't to utter that she loved her wife back.

Jane's frown deepened as she looked up. " You have the most beautiful hazel eyes at the planet, in every universe and in every dimension. "

Maura had to laugh while she bit her bottom lip. " Thank you. "

Jane smirked and joined the round of laugh.

Frankie was about to leave the Cafè and froze as he heard what was said in sing-song. " Frankie! ", Masterson said and walked to him. " Frankie, buddy. How are you? "

Frankie raised an skeptical eyebrow and shrugged. " The same way you asked me fifteen minutes ago. "

Masterson pulled the corners of his mouth downward and took a deep breath as he nodded to the coffee mug. " I thought I stand you a coffee but I see you already have one. "

Frankie drew his eyebrows together. " Enough of this bootlicking. What do you want? "

Masterson gasped in mocked horror. " Frankie,you hurt my feelings. ", he laughed as he saw Frankie's face. " Okay, alright. What for an appointment did Jane and Maura had have yesterday? "

Frankie rolled his eyes. " You know that Jane kill me if I would tell you, right? And the operative word is if. "

Masterson chuckled and laid an arm around Frankie's shoulders. " Come on, I'm a big boy. I can protect you. "

Frankie sighed and opened his mouth.

" Frankie, ", Angela prevented her son from his biggest mistake. " would you mind to bring these supplies in the store room? "

Frankie sighed with relief and shrugged Masterson's arm off of his shoulders. " Not at all, Ma. ", he grabbed the items and looked grateful at her. " Thank you. "

Angela smiled and put an arm in his shoulder before he walked into the room.

Jane sat at her desk and looked at the board. " Samantha disappeared and reappeared. "Masterson looked long at her. " Well, as she disappeared she was alive and as she reappeared she was dead. "

Jane stared at him with an raised eyebrow. " Are you a smartass today? "

Masterson grinned and shrugged.

" Do you wanna know what I wonder about? ", Korsak suddenly asked and Jane looked questioningly at him. " Why the Doc have a knowledge about bondage. "

Jane just rolled her eyes.

Masterson grinned broadly. " I wouldn't be surprised if she have any experience in that, I'm sure Maura like to be bond. Right, Jane? "

" Who said that I am the one who was bond? ", Maura asked as she entered the bullpen while her wife sipped her coffee.

Jane chocked at her coffee and had to cough violently. " Jesus Christ, Maura. ", she gasped and looked at the fresh brown stain at her shirt while Korsak and Masterson laughed in amusement. " You just can't come in and say something like that. "

Maura smiled broadly and shrugged. " Why not? Everyone in here knows that I have some experiences in the topic sex. Ryan and I even share some. Like you and me. It's not like you have any experience in something like bondage. "

Jane stared at her wife and took a deep breath. " Did you just called me prudish? "

Maura thought for a moment and shrugged innocently. " Well, yes. "

Jane growled as she looked at her partners and clenched her teeth. " What brought you up here? "

Maura smiled sweetly and tapped at her watch. " Lunch. "

Jane checked her own watch and rikled her eyes before she stood up.
