Maura entered the next morning the kitchen and slowed her steps down as she saw an unexpected visitor but then smiled broadly, "Cailin, what a surprise. What are you doing here?"
Angela stifled a laugh as she poured her daughter in law a cup of decaf.
Cailin, who had encouraged Alexis to keep in drawing, looked at her and frowned. "Good morning to you too."
Angela chuckled and handed Maura the mug.
Maura rolled her eyes at herself and sighed. "I'm sorry. Good morning to everyone."
Angela laughed and sipped her coffee. "Good morning, honey."
Alexis was focused on her drawing and her breakfast and didn't looked up. "Moning, Mommy."
Maura looked at her cup and frowned deeply.
Angela noticed the look and frowned too. A little bit afraid that something serious was wrong. "Maura, what's wrong?"
Maura stared at the coffee. "I would kill for a cup of real coffee."
Angela grunted as she tried not to laugh. "Maura, are you starting to compromise your own principles?"
Maura looked guilty at her. "Yes!"
Angela smirked and took the cup of decaf. She poured a new cup of real coffee and handed it to Maura. "Your secret is safe with me."
Maura sipped the caffee and moaned nodding. "That is so much better.", then she looked at her sister. "So, what is the reason for your surprising visit?"
Cailin sipped her own coffee and shrugged. "I thought I came by to ask you if I could move in permanently."
Maura choked on her coffee. "Excuse me?", she asked under her coughs.
Angela had to laugh hearty as she saw Maura's expression.
Cailin chuckled amused and waved. "I was just kidding. Don't look so afraid. The real reason why I am here is that I wanted to see my niece and wanted to know how you are doing. Because it's been a while."
Maura wiped away the coffee from her chin and raised her eyebrows. "Oh. How nice of you."
Cailin looked around and frowned. "Where is Jane?"
Maura sat down next to her daughter and sighed. "She is up and hopefully taking a shower, which is doubtful. Or she is up and trying to ignore the alarm that I've set up for her, which is more possible."
Angela rolled her eyes as she sipped her coffee. "Oh, this woman. Since she was a child it was a problem to get her out of her bed.", she said as she also sat down at the dining table. "No matter what I have tried, she didn't cared and pretend to be asleep till I gave up. Even a bucket of ice cold water didn't bothered her."
Maura and Cailin chuckled in amusement.
"Are we talking about me?", Jane almost growled as she entered the kitchen.
Angela looked at her and nodded. "Yes."
Jane drew her eyebrows together. "Why?"
"Because you're an awful morning person.", Maura chuckled.
Jane looked at her and stopped dead as she saw Cailin. "What are you doing here?"
Cailin furrowed her eyebrows and wrinkled her nose."What is it with this family to ask a visitor what they are doing here instead of a 'hello' or a 'good morning'?"
Jane poured herself a cup of coffee. "Hello and morning. What are you doing here?"
Cailin rolled her eyes and smiled. "Visiting my sister and niece. I'm not sure if I came by to see a grumpy you."
Jane raised an skeptical eyebrow and sat down. "You like me."
Cailin shrugged and sipped her coffee. "I'm not sure."
"You like me.", Jane growled.
Cailin smirked. "If you say so.", then she scrutinized Maura for a moment. "You are quite good in shape for woman who is pregnant with twins since ... uh ..."
Maura smiled and sipped her coffee before she accepted the plate with breakfast that Angela handed her. "Four months and thank you. Yeah, I even feel pretty comfortable. A little bit more tired but we all know it is normal. But it become more difficult to do the yoga practices."
Jane rolled her eyes and sighed. " Why? Because you can't jump through hoops anymore?"
Maura looked warningly at her and licked her lips. "That is not true. And you know that pretty well."
Cailin made a disgusted face. "Ew, too much informations."
Jane chuckled while Angela rolled her eyes.
Maura slowly shook her head and looked at Cailin. "So, how are you and Hope? I didn't see her for a while either."
Cailin sipped her coffee and shrugged. "We're pretty good. Well, Mom is busy like always and my study takes all my time. But at all we're good."
Maura nodded slowly. "Yeah, I still remember how it was as I were at the BCU."
"Yeah, me too.", Jane said dreamy.
Angela rolled her eyes and shook her head.
Cailin looked puzzled at Jane. "You were at BCU?"
"No.", Jane chuckled.
Maura slumped her shoulders and exhaled loudly. "Just ... ignore her."
Jane's mouth dropped to the floor and Cailin started to laugh.

Jane came into the bullpen and sat down at her chair with a sigh.
Frankie looked up and drew his eyebrows together. "What crawled up your ass and died?"
Jane looked at him and frowned. "I am just happy that I have two brothers."
Korsak's had shot up and he looked confused at her.
Frankie was confused as well. "Okay, what happened?"
Jane sighed and rubbed her face with both hands. "Cailin came flying by for a visit. Now I think Maura and her are conspiring against me."
Korsak chuckled and Frankie laughed amused.
Jane rolled her eyes and looked at the photo of Jane Doe that was pinned at the board. "Do we know who Jane Doe is?"
Frankie stood up and handed her a folder. "Actually, yes. I was busy."
Jane opened the folder and drew her eyebrows together as she read through the information. "Kate Lewis. She ... ", she paused and looked puzzled at the two men. "She was a parole officer?"
Korsak shrugged, stood up, walked to the board and tapped at the photo of Kate's bleeding ear. " Your idea, that the killer killed those three because they saw and heard something bad, is right then it makes sense. Parole officers see and hear a lot of awful things."
Jane looked at the board and crossed her arms over her chest and frowned deeply. "Do you want to know what I am scared of?"
Korsak turned to her and nodded.
Jane's frown deepened as she looked at him. "That my gut is right."
Frankie looked questioningly at his sister. "What do you mean?"
Jane sighed and licked her lips as she looked at him. "You already mentioned the three wise monkeys. We all mean see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. Samantha and Paolo got their eyes cut out. See no evil. Kate's eyes got cut out and her ears got pierced through, see no evil, hear no evil. If my gut is right I am afraid that we will have at least three more victims."
Frankie tilted confused his head to the side.
Korsak raised his eyebrows as the penny dropped. "You mean they make pairings."
Jane nodded slowly. "Which confirms my guess that we are talking about two killers. Probably a man and a woman."
Frankie drew his eyebrows together. "Because female serial killers prefer to kill with a partner in crime. Like Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck. And we didn't reach the last monkey."
Jane nodded and rubbed her eyebrows. "Speak no evil. God damn it."
Korsak frowned deeply. "But how can we prepare the citizens of Boston not to become the next victims?"
Jane thought for a moment and looked at him. "We have to decipher their M.O. Otherwise we have no chance."
Frankie looked at the two and sighed. "What are we doing now?"
"Now, we contact Kate Lewis' family. Maybe we can get more information from them.", Jane said slowly.

Jane sat across a sobbing man with light brown hair and frowned sympathetically. "I am very sorry for your loss, Mr. Lewis."
Gerald Lewis slowly nodded and sniffed. "Thank you."
Frankie cleared his throat and opened his notepad. "How long has your wife worked for the parole office?"
"Since five years ago.", Mr. Lewis said and looked at him. "Kate loved her job. She did all she could for her clients. Is she dead because of her job? Did she get killed because she was an parole officer?"
Jane sighed and licked her lips. "We guess so. I am sorry."
Mr. Lewis took a deep breath and shook his head."I saw this coming. I always said to Kate that I was afraid something would happen to her one day. But she just laughed it off. I pleaded with her to get a safer job. But Kate ... Kate was stubborn. And now she is dead."
Jane nodded slowly and drew her eyebrows together. "Did Kate change her habits or her behavior?"
Mr. Lewis shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth downward. "Not really. She did go out more often then before but that was because she met some new people."
Frankie looked up and frowned. "Did she tell you who those people were?"
Mr. Lewis shrugged. "Kate just said that they are also from the law enforcement. I think she mentioned that they were also cops that she met because of her work."
"Did she have many friends who were cops?", Jane wanted to know.
Mr. Lewis thought for a moment. "Well, yes. She had all kind of friends. included were all kind of professionals. She didn't judge people by what they did for a living. She had a big heart."
Jane smiled slightly and frowned. "It sounds like that. Mr. Lewis, would you mind writing down the names of Kate's friends?"
Mr. Lewis shook his head. "I ... I can bring you her address book. They are all in there. I can also send you her list of clients."
Jane nodded in agreement and smiled. "That would be very helpful, thank you."
nodded and sighed before he stood up.
Jane watched as he left.
Frankie looked long at her and frowned. "What do you think?"
Jane leaned back in her chair and shrugged her eyebrows. "That we should wait for those lists and compare them with the others. Maybe we'll find an anomaly in them."
Frankie nodded slowly and closed his notepad.
