Maura came home and frowned as the whole house was dark except for the kitchen. She locked the front door as she closed it and walked into the kitchen. She sighed at what she saw and walked to the kitchen counter. "Do you want to tell me why the whole house is dark and why you're studying the files and your notes? And why those files are at our house?"
Jane rubbed her focused eyes with a hand and sighed before she sipped her scotch. "Because I am in the kitchen and don't need light everywhere, and, because I don't see the obvious, and because a witness was at the Department and said that this Simon guy is a cop. And I want to catch this bastard especially if it is a cop."
Maura sighed again and closed all files and notes. "But you need rest."
Jane opened the files again and frowned. "Make me."
Maura took a bottle of water out of the fridge and smiled a little. "Don't start that, Jane."
Jane smiled too and leaned back in her chair. "You know ... I ... could use a little distraction."
Maura chuckled as she sipped her water but then frowned. "You said John Doe is a cop?"
Jane closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. "That's what Abbey Henson, the witness, told us. Did I mentioned that she is a student of law?"
Maura looked worried at her wife and licked her lips. "Again a person who has to do with the law."
Jane nodded slowly and took a deep breath. "I already told Frankie that all the victims had witnessed something that has to do with crimes or unusual sex practices."
"You mean Samantha McKenna.", Maura stated and Jane nodded. "Well, maybe she saw something she shouldn't have."
Jane drew her eyebrows together and ran her thumb and middle finger along her chin. "Or she had experienced something. Maura, you said she was raped." she cursed herself as the thought came to an end. "Did you find any other signs of sexual assaults?"
Maura thought for a moment and lifted her eyebrows. "There was some old scar tissue that I found. But in context with her sexual practices I didn't pay much attention to them."

"But it could also be that the scar tissue are the result of a rape?"
Maura sighed and tilted her head to the side and thoughtfully furrowed her eyebrows. "Well ... yes, maybe."
Jane opened the files of all the victims and tapped on every single picture. "That's it. Samantha McKenna got raped. Paolo Hernandez had criminal friends. Kate Lewis was a parole officer and Abbey Henson was a meter maid."
Maura looked confused at her wife. "What does that have to do with the three wise monkeys?"
Jane stood up and ran a hand through her hair. "Not literally, Maura. Let's ..." she paused and looked at her wife. "Okay, let's say theoretically Samantha was raped before, Paolo witnessed it, one of Kate's clients told her about it and Abbey was at work and heard Samantha's screams for help."
Maura was still confused and made a face. "I still don't understand."
Jane sighed with a smile and pointed with both index fingers at Samantha and Paolo. "Samantha got raped in the past but was too ashamed to go to the police. Paolo saw how a friend of his, because he had connections to Boston, had raped Samantha." she pointed at Kate."This person had told Kate about it.", now she pointed at Abbey. "And Abbey worked as Samantha got raped." she pointed at Samantha and Paolo again."Samantha denied it, she didn't go to the police. Paolo saw it but didn't report It.", she pointed again at Kate and Abbey. "Kate had a confession but she protected her client by not reporting it and Abbey ... she didn't help Sam and also didn't report it. Do you understand? See no evil and hear no evil."
Maura stared at the photos as she ran her left middle finger over her lips thoughtfully. "I think I understand the concept that you mean." she pointed at Samantha."But why kill Samantha, Jane? She was the victim."
Jane's shoulders slumped and the elationleft her body. "I don't know. Damn, I don't know. In my head it sounded so good. Now it just sounds dumb."
Maura raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "No.", she said fast. "Anyhow it makes sense. It always comes back to Samantha. You have a victim and three witnesses who didn't report it. You mentioned that Samantha was abducted on her way to her friend's dorm."
Jane took a deep breath and nodded.
Maura narrowed her eyes and frowned. "You also mentioned that she was in a pub before she disappeared."
Jane frowned deeply. "Did I?"
Maura nodded. "Yes. As you fell asleep but kept talking about the case." she said and Jane rolled her eyes. "When Samantha drank a little too much, after she was abducted, she had met friendly Simon. It is possible that Samantha told him her history.. And who gives you the feeling of someone you can trust and be protected by?"
Jane stared at her and sighed loud. "A person who says that he is a police officer who promises to keep his mouth shut."
Maura smiled sadly and lifted her eyebrows.
Jane closed her eyes and exhaled loud. "You mean this could be someone who sees himself ... or better to say themselves as a kind of avenger angels?"
Maura walked to Jane and wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed her wife. "All I mean is that those two people may have experienced something similar and that they want revenge for it. But they don't care who to pay for. It is a kind of stress reduction for them."
Jane sighed heavily and looked into Maura's eyes. "You are a genius."
Maura smirked and kissed Jane once more. "You are pretty brilliant by yourself."
Jane grinned. "Thank you, Dr. Isles."
"You are welcome." Maura whispered before she kissed Jane again and moaned as this kiss became pasionately.

Jane had decided to question Samantha's best friend Mandy Bosworth this morning. She looked at her watch and drew her eyebrows together. "Mandy should have been here an hour ago. God, I hate unpunctual people."
Korsak looked at her and grinned. "What? You?"
Frankie stifled a laugh and hide his grin behind his coffee mug.
Jane rolled her eyes and sighed. "Gee, I just have appointments when we catch heavy cases."

"Which never happenes." Frankie said with an innocent face.
Jane looked at him and opened her mouth to argue but closed it again.
Korsak laughed amused and threw his hands up. "I won't say anything to that. I never saw you speechless."
Jane huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "I am at work 24/7."
"That's why I am amazed that you're still married." Frankie jumped.
"What was that?" Jane almost growled.
Frankie pursed his lips and looked concentrated at his monitor. "Nothing."
Jane took a few deep breaths and exhaled loudly as she got a text message. She grabbed her phone and stared at Frankie. "I swear to God if this is a reminder of any kind of a ..." she paused as she read the message and turned serious.
Frankie looked at his sister and frowned. "Jane?"
Korsak looked up and drew his eyebrows together. "What is it?"
Jane re-read the message and looked slowly up. "It is Mandy. She was found." she clenched her teeth." In West Cambridge. ", she sighed. "She's dead."
Frankie slammed his hand on his desk.
Korsak closed his eyes and sighed. "God damnit."

Jane inspected the new crime scene and kneaded her hands . Something bothered her. She slowly walked to the dead body of Mandy and frowned. "The same M.O.?"
Maura looked up and nodded slowly. "Eyes are removed, ears got pierced through. But ..."
"The tongue is also removed." Jane finished the sentence and sighed as Maura nodded."There we have our three wise monkeys. So Mandy also knew."
Korsak looked confused at his former partner. "Knew what?"
Maura examined the body and looked at him with a frown. "Jane has the theory that Samantha got raped and all the victims knew about it."
Korsak looked scandalized at Jane. "Why don't I know about this?"
Jane sighed heavily and looked at Mandy. "Because I got this theory just last night. And it confirms it even more with Mandy's death."
Maura looked up and raised her eyebrows.
Frankie cleared his throat and sighed. "So ... we're looking for a maniac serial murder couple?"
Jane shrugged her shoulders and licked her lips. "In which the male is a sick murderer."
