A/n: This chapter is full of tie ups. things that were left open were done so for a reason so enjoy.
Angela walked through Maura's house late the next morning finding the huge house in Beacon Hill quiet. And since Jane's car wasn't in the driveway, she assumed that they had all gone out to eat or pick up a U-Haul trailer for Jane's new bike.
Since her family was heading back to New York tonight, Angela thought she could help pack up her children's things for the return trip. It amazed her how she could love so many people like family. It wasn't just Maura. Over the years and especially this Year when Katie had contacted her and told her that Jane was in NYC and under her care. Katie had been one of Jane's friends for years and only recently had Angela looked on the young woman as one of her own.
Richard Castle had been different than what she had been expecting. She had read many of his books and after the initial celebrity novelty had worn off, she had found his childish antics amusing. But his affection for Katie was just as strong as Maura's was for Jane. She thought Katie was marrying well and it pleased her.
Alexis. Angela laughed at the red head who curled her hair like Janie and dressed like Katie and was an odd mixing of Jane, Kate, and Rick, and even though she was different, she reminded the Rizzoli Matriarch of Maura as well.
Jordan had accepted Angela easy enough and although she was going to be her niece-in-law. She often thought of her as a daughter. Like Katie, Jordan had lost her mother to murder when she was a child, and like Katie, Jordan had looked up to her as kind of a fill in mother. Although Maura knew who both her Biological mother and her adoptive mother were, both were in some way or another unavailable to love her like she should be. Maura was the first and Katie had come later with Jordan, being the oldest, bringing up the last of her adoptive Rizzoli's. Angela had done her best to never let down her three adoptive daughters any more than she wanted to let down Janie.
She smiled at the warm sensation of having four grown daughters to compliment her two sons. She had always wanted a big family and now she had it, even though the blood wasn't there, their hearts were.
As she rounded the stairs to Maura's second floor she thought about Olivia Benson. She wasn't a woman who needed a mother and whatever hurt had made up her life, it had made her strong, like Janie was, unbreakable. But Like Janie, Livy had her own weakness and whoever Alex was, Angela wanted to take the girl over her knee.
Livy was on her way to being Angela's last adoptive child. Angela made it a point to talk to her in Italian whenever they were alone and Livy had been grateful for the practice.
She rounded the corner and pushed the door open into Jane and Maura's room to collect the dirty clothes from the bathroom when she gasped sharply and slammed her eyes shut.
Jane was on top of Maura, sans clothes, her hands on either side of her girlfriend. With one of Maura's legs hooked over her daughter's bared hip. Jane's back was arched away from Maura as she let out a throaty "Maura" that was matched by the blonde "OH Jane". Jane's leather riding outfit was scattered across the floor.
Angel covered her eyes and tried to back out of the room but her elbow banged painfully against the door frame in her retreat causing her to yelp.
"Jesus Christ, Ma!" Jane's angry voice pierced the silent air.
Angela stood frozen as she held her hands on her face. "I'm sorry, I thought everyone was gone."
She heard the rustling of blankets and a sharp, "Ma, get out!"
She again tried to repeat her retreat and banged her elbow against the frame again, she yelped again
"Ma!" a softer voice still raspy called out, "Take a step to your left and straight back."
Angela did and didn't run into anything she turned sharply and walked into a wall.
"Ugh." Jane said as she yanked the sheet around herself. "I better check on her before she falls down the stairs."
Jane caught up with her right before Angela would have done that very thing. She grabbed her mom and stopped her.
"I'm covered up Ma you can put your hands down." She said.
Angela did but she kept her eyes closed. "I'm sorry Janie. I, I, I thought."
"Ma." She said, "You already said that now open your eye so you don't fall down the stairs on your way out."
Angela opened her eyes. Jane was standing in front of her with a white sheet wrapped around her body and her skin still flushed from sex. She looked passed Jane to see Maura was hiding in the bed spread the very edge of her head looking out from the door shyly. Angela looked down at the floor to see that one more step would have sent her tumbling down the stair well. She gasped. "Oh my god." She looked to her daughter, "I almost fell down the stairs."
"Yeah." Jane said, "You need to be more careful."
"Oh," she said in relief, "Oh thank you, Janie."
She hugged her daughter, "Okay,that's really uncomfortable." She said turning her mother away from the steps and pushing her a way. "Ma, I'm naked and wrapped in a sheet after making love to my girlfriend! Let go of me, it feels weird!" She pushed a little harder and Angela blushed.
"OH!" She said as she took a step back and glanced at Maura who promptly ducked into the room.
"It's not like her to be embarrassed over these things." Angela said.
"I'm not embarrassed." Her voice called out, "I'm just coming down from my orgasm."
"Hey!" she said.
Maura stuck her head out of the room, her chest was still heaving. "What. I'm not embarrassed. I just think it would be rude to be panting while.."
"No, a da da da." She shushed her lover, "Remember the conversation we had in your living room after the dead guy in your condo?"
"Dead Guy!?"
Jane looked at her, "Yeah, dead guy." She looked back at Maura. "Sweetie, I love you but don't talk about…" she waved her hand in a circular motion.
Maura got it then and made an O with her mouth. "Don't talk about our sex life with your mother or your boss. Okay. I remember now."
"Wait, boss?" She turned back to Jane, "Dead Guy in Maura's condo?"
Maura having regained herself stepped out of the room. "Yes though he wasn't dead when he came in. Jane killed him."
"Janie." her mom pointed a finger at her, "Start talking missy."
Jane groaned at the position Maura put her in as she came up to her girlfriend, "You are so lucky I love you." Jane tipped Maura's head to show her mother the scar under her jaw, "He cut Maura and was going to shoot her and tried to kill me. I didn't have a choice."
Angela came over and looked at the newly healed wound. "I don't like you two living in that awful place. You're not even safe in your own home." She turned to look at Jane. "Now you're supposed to be the man in your relationship, so put your pants on, put your foot down and get your butts back her where you're safe."
"What do you mean I'm the man in the relationship?" she said indignantly, "There is no man in our relationship! That's why it works for us."
Maura bit her lip to keep from saying anything.
"Well judging by what I just seen." Angela said sharply.
"Oh HELL NO!" Jane shouted, "I am not going to talk to my mother about how I have sex with my girlfriend." She looked at Maura, "What. It's bugging you I can see it, just spit it out."
Maura let go of her lip and shook her head, "No. I told you I wouldn't talk about it with Ma."
Angela stared at her, "Maura tell me."
Jane glared at her mother and then to her girlfriend. "What the hell, I'm embarrassed enough as it is, what's one more indignity?" She waved a hand at Maura, "Go ahead."
Maura looked at Jane and then back to Angela, "Okay? Well what you have seen was me pleasing Jane not the other way around." She bit her lip again. "I just had another one because I like watching her."
"Okay." Jane said pulling the sheet around her head, "That's good. Thank you, baby." Jane headed back to the bedroom and closed the door gently.
"I'd better." She pointed a thumb over her shoulder. "Yeah." She turned around and fast walked to the door and inside.
Angela stared, not quite understanding what happened.
Two hours later Angela had come back to help with the packing and found Alexis and Rick sitting at the table talking about schools.
"All I'm saying is that I looked up BCU statistics and it looks like they have everything I need to become a Medical Examiner including several prominent Alumni."
He grinned at her, "Like a Doctor Maura Isles?"
"She's one in a list of others." Alexis defended, "And although she's high on the list she's not the most prominent."
He snorted into his coffee, "I find that hard to believe and as I recall, Icahn has a prominent professor who once held the title of CME of Massachusetts and as I recall, it also boasts being one of the most comprehensive medical schools." He took a sip and set it down. "Wouldn't you rather become a doctor who actually heals people instead of one who works with the recently departed?"
Alexis' eyes glazed slightly, "No." she blinked and it was gone. "Dad. I killed someone."
His face took on a somber look, "I know and you shouldn't have had to. But if you didn't."
"I know." She cut him off. "But I won't deny that it changed how I look at things. Ma said that it does that to you and I can't stop seeing it over and over. She said she'll take me to see Dr. Burke when we get back but I can't help but see him."
"Oh, honey." Angela said as she came over to the girl.
Alexis held up a hand to stop her, "I need to say this Nonna. I can't be distracted."
Angela grimaced, "Okay."
"I want to be a Medical Examiner." She said to them, "Jordan let me see him on the table. I couldn't stop thinking about who he was. What made him do the things he did and what lead him to be on that table. I can't stop thinking about if he had a family. Someone who would want to know what happened to him. "
"Is that really you talking or is it what happened with you and Maura?" he asked.
Angela nodded, "That's a good point sweetie."
"Its me." She said. "Aunt Jane said that she wanted to be a detective, that she knew that a long time ago. Ma said her mother's death is what made her want to be a cop instead of a lawyer. Jordan became an ME over her mom's death and her dad was a cop too. You're marrying a cop, dad. And Ma and Aunt Jane have been a big influence in my life. I believe in them and what they do and I've thought about being a detective. But shooting that man opened my eyes. Ma told me that when she has to take someone's life, it hurts her. I have taken a life and she's right, it does hurt. Aunt Jane said that the worst thing in the world is when you don't feel the pain of talking someone's life anymore. She said it's the worst thing she's ever felt and that she doesn't ever want me to know that kind of apathy."
Alexis swiped at a stray tear, "I know now that I don't have what it takes to do what Aunt Jane and Ma do every day, but Maura, Jordan, and Lanie showed me that I can still help them do their job. I want to help solve murders and bring closure to those families. I can do it and I want to do it. Columbia offers a pre-med curriculum that I plan on changing to when we get home but it's not med school."
Angela held a hand over her mouth at Alexis' words.
Rick smiled as he heard the passion in his daughter's voice. After all of Alexis' wide range of studies, she finally had direction. And she was driven to it with all of her heart. "Then I think we need to find the right school for you because Columbia doesn't sound like a very good fit anymore."
Alexis stood up and hugged her father. Angela smiled and joined them.
Kate threw two jabs, a right cross and a left hook at Jane with all her strength. She followed up with a left knee, a right hook, and a left uppercut and she did it all so quickly that it was barely seen. Olivia's arms flexed as she sat on the bench and worked out with her kettlebell and watched Jane and Kate sparring. Well not so much sparring as Kate's fists and feet were padded and Jane stood wearing only a pair of spade pads which Liv wasn't sure how but Jane managed to get between herself and Kate's attacks.
Kate was sweating hard as she fought. Jane was sweating too as she blocked and things she couldn't block, she got out of the way of. Kate swung another elbow and Jane deflected and before Kate could kick, Jane was already sidestepping but still caught the foot from over extending. Kate's trust in Jane's abilities had shocked Liv at first but as she watched, she understood why. Jane was fast. Like lightning and she met Kate hit for hit.
As Angela came into the room she gasped as she watched the viciousness of Kate's attack. More so that Jane didn't back off just calmly met her partner's fists, feet and knees.
"Don't worry," Liv said calmly, "They do this all the time."
"Janie's going to get hurt." Angela said.
"Actually," Liv said as she adjusted her kettlebell and changed positions. "Jane is keeping Kate from getting hurt."
She stared as Kate threw another jab and two crosses, followed by another uppercut, a kick and two more hooks. Jane caught each one in turn and continued. Her threat detection had registered her mother and Jane had ignored it because Kate's fighting was taking a lot of her concentration. She was getting better every time they trained. Her throws were getting more precise and seemingly random at every turn and Jane was proud of her.
She caught the punch and the Jab and decided that Kate had done enough today. Jane waited for a hook and Kate didn't disappoint, she turned her body and caught it between the pads. Kate froze.
"Great Job Kate." Jane said with a smile. "You're getting scary good. Another couple of weeks and I'm going to need more than spades."
Kate smiled while she heaved slightly. "From you that's a real compliment."
Jane nodded, "You deserve it, now go burn it off, girl."
Kate nodded and took a huge gulp of water and headed to the corner of Maura's yoga room to cool down from her work out. She started off moving her feet and ran through a series of light exercises to regulate her heartbeat.
Jane dropped the pads on the floor and shook out her arms and legs. "Hey Liv, you ready?"
"Hell no." she said smartly. "I'm working arms and abs today."
She palmed and held out the kettlebell with the handle sticking out. "Care to try it?"
"Don't think so." She said with a laugh, "I don't play with cannonballs."
"Well if you're done with the floor," Liv said standing up. "I'd like to slap in some more weight and start swinging."
She held out a hand, "It's all yours babe."
Olivia looked over at Angela and separated the adjustable kettlebell and dropped all of the remaining weights into it before resecuring the handle and testing the lock. She picked it up and stood in the middle of the mat and started swinging the heavy weight from the floor directly out in front of her and then back down to the floor all the while her muscles bunched as she put more force into making it move an equal force into stopping it's movement.
All three women were dressed in yoga shorts and their sports bras. Liv's abs were revealed as a six pack and her arms were lean and built. Her things were a shapely mass of powerful muscles that flexed and released as she worked out.
Jane watched her ma stare at her friend. She looked back and appreciated the view as Olivia a woman who was creeping up to her fifties looked better than most women half her age.
"Hard to believe she's going to be fifty in three years." Jane said quietly to her mother.
"She doesn't look like she's out of her thirties." Her mom said.
"Yep. She eats right and takes care of herself." Jane smirked at her mother, "Of course she can pig out on pizza and booze with the best of them. She's drank me under the table more than once back in the day."
Angela shook her head and looked down at her daughter, "I can see your ribs."
"Ma." She whined. "I'm in the best shape of my life and you're complaining about it." She said as she rubbed her side. "It's not like I'm anorexic or something. I eat Maura's healthy food and I still eat my kinda food too. I just burn it all off."
"I'm just saying you look too thin." She said as she eyed Kate in the corner doing stretches. "Katie looks good as you but she's not so lean."
"She also works out for three hours a week and eats nothing but salads most days." Jane said, "I work out in a boxing ring five days a week for a couple hours at a time. I'm burning six times the calories she does."
Angela stared at her, "What do you mean you work out in a boxing ring?"
"Well to be technical I work out in a boxing gym, behind the ring." She said. "I'm a fighter, Ma. I always have been and now there are not many who can take me."
"She's not lying, Ma." Kate said deliberately using the word to cover her partner, "Sometimes if she's into it. She'll throw punches all night long if someone doesn't go get her."
Jane nodded, "I'm bad, Ma. And it helps keep me and Kate safe."
"Speaking of which," Kate said eluding to her other side, "You should go burn some off on the dummy. You haven't thrown down since the night before we came down."
"I'll throw down when I have the room to myself." Jane replied, "I'm not a spectator athlete."
Kate nodded as she looked back at Liv. "I swear, I don't know how she can look like one of those pro wrestler girls and still pull off sexy as hell."
"I'm not Chyna." Liv said sharply as she swung the heavy weight up. "You talk like I'm some Steroidal Diesel. I'm not much bigger than you or Jane."
"Only by twenty or thirty pounds." Kate said
"Muscle weighs more." She said nonchalantly. "Play with this thing and you'll weigh more too and only gain a dress size."
"And on that note, what do you need, Ma?" Jane said.
"I was talking with Rick and Alexis upstairs and she was going over new schools she want to go to, including BCU."
"I'm sure she's just reevaluating her options, Ma." Jane said.
"She actually does it a lot, Ma." Kate agreed. "She really doesn't know what she wants to do."
"That's the thing." Angela said, "She says she wants to be a Medical Examiner, says that the shooting helped put things into a new perspective."
Kate and Jane exchanged a look.
"The shooting really affected her." Kate said.
"I know." Jane thought about it for a minute, "I guess it makes sense. She always wants to help us solve our cases."
"And her dad does bounce his thoughts off her when a case stumps us." Kate thought on it too, "it would also keep her off the street for the most part."
"And she did intern with Lanie for a while. The dead people didn't really weigh on her all that much."
"She made a very passionate argument about it." Angela said.
"How passionate?" They said together.
"Very." Angela said. "She told her father about your desire to be a detective, Jane and your experience with your mother, Kate. Jordan's experience with her mother, Lanie, Maura, the guy that tried to kill Maura. All of it all came out at once and she was sad for him. Said that somewhere someone wanted to know what happened to their son why he did what he did and how he got there. She was so driven by it."
They exchanged another look.
"I think she may have found it." Kate said.
Jane nodded, "God I hope so. She's bounced around so much."
"What did Rick say?" Kate asked.
"He said they needed to find a better school for her. That Columbia didn't sound like a fit for her anymore."
Jane grinned and so did Kate. "Our baby girl found it Kate."
"I think she did." She replied.
Cavanaugh ran a hand through his short grey hair as he sat down in his home office chair. Jane and Kate had come by at his request to discuss something that he needed to know.
"I know you're ready to head back to New York so I'll make this short." He said as he looked to Jane, "Your Ma wants me to get you back into BPD. There are all kinds of changes happening this year and I want to make sure I got the best people in place but I'm not going to push the issue. All I want to know is when are you ready to come back?"
Kate sat up to hear her, It was stupid. Jane had already explained it to Kate but she wanted to hear it any way. Her partner shifted in her chair.
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant." She said honestly, "I can't come back yet. I still have some things I have to work out in New York."
"Like what" he asked.
"Like open cases that Beckett and I are working, Court appearances." She glanced at her partner, "Kate and I had a case that's been really hard on her and I promised her that I'd stand with her while she deals with it. I made a commitment to my partner and I won't abandon her."
He looked to Beckett, "You must be some kind of partner for her to stand by you like that."
"She's the best partner I ever had." Kate said, "You ever had one of those partners that you just clicked with. The kind where you don't need to say anything but you both know what the other's thinking?"
He nodded, "yeah, I did once. Then I crawled into the bottle and ruined it."
"I have never had anyone I understood or who understood me better. Not even Rick gets me like she does."
"You're her partner and her Sergeant," He said, "So I'll be straight with you, I want Rizzoli back in my Homicide Unit."
"LT," Jane said, "I'm sorry about how I left here but I made a commitment to both my partner and the NYPD. I can't just pick up and go like that. Not to mention that Maura can't leave Icahn until the school year ends so that's June."
Oh boy! Kate thought. She remembered the paper in the empty file in her desk. Well I guess now is as good a time as any.
"As Detective Rizzoli's Sergeant and immediate supervisor, I have to report her statement is in error, Lieutenant." Kate said. Jane's head snapped around.
She held up her hand to silence her partner, "What Detective Rizzoli should have said was that WE can't just pick up and go that easy."
"Kate!" Jane gasped.
Sean stared at her, "Beckett, are you saying what I think your saying?"
"Jane is my partner, Lieutenant." She said confidently. "She's not the only one who's made commitments."
"Kate." Jane said. Again she held up a hand but this time backed it up with a look.
Jane stopped and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Just to be clear here, Beckett, you're saying that if I want Rizzoli back, I have to take you too."
"Yes, sir. That's correct." She said, "Jane is correct about a bad case that we worked that I've been dealing with. I want to finish it before I consider leaving the NYPD and before you ask, leaving New York has only recently become an option for me. But I also come with one other condition."
Sean stared at her, "And that is?"
Jane jumped in to support her partner since the initial shock had worn off, "Kate is Rick's inspiration for the Nikki Heat book series. She's going to want him authorized to shadow us for the duration of her employment."
He jumped up, "A civilian? Following my detectives around? I don't think so."
"Rick Castle has not only been following Sergeant Beckett for more than four years but he has also proven, even to me, that he is a great asset to a Homicide investigation." Jane said coolly.
"the liability alone…"
"Was waved in it's entirety in New York City." Kate said. "I can get copies of that contract for review by Boston's legal department if you like."
"Think of him as a civilian contractor that you don't have to pay" Jane said.
Cavanaugh thought about it for a few minutes as he looked out the window at the snow covered neighborhood. Boston would be a lot better off with both of them than with just Jane. But a civilian, that was another matter.
"I'll have to talk to the commissioner about it." He said as he turned around and sat back down in the chair. "Thing is that I know this isn't the right time but I'm down a detective. Losing Frost has created a small vacuum in homicide and I need to replace him. Getting Beckett in here later isn't a problem. She can replace Vince at the end of the year. You're the problem."
"What?" Jane snapped, "What's happening with Korsak?"
"Turned in his retirement paperwork two weeks ago." He said, "He's done his time and I guess he made an agreement with his ex-wife that if he'll leave the force, she'll get back together with him. Admin agreed to give him a year to wrap up all of his cases."
"First Frost, now Korsak?" Jane said. "There's no going to be much of Homicide to come back too."
"I know, that's why I want you back here. How long until you can take your Sergeant's Exam over there?" he asked.
Jane looked at Kate.
"NYPD has some policy of not honoring time in grade from other departments for recent transfers until after two years in the NYPD. Jane, despite having more time in Homicide than I do, is still an outside transfer. As her Sergeant I can't even push for the test early until she's been there for a year."
"Well that won't happen in BPD, You come here all your time on the force is honored but your seniority level will fall to the level of the newest Sergeant. Because Jane started with BPD, her time at NYPD won't be added to her seniority but she keeps what she earned from previous years of service with BPD."
"Basically that means that you'll get picked first to work holidays and crap like that though you'll out rank most of everyone in Homicide because of how many years you've been in Homicide." Jane explained.
"Holiday pay here I come." Kate said with a grin, "Or does it suck like at NYPD?"
"It sucks." She said and with a smirk added, "Not as bad as NYPD sucks."
"Says my partner who's wearing the badge of said department on her hip," Kate smirked back.
Cavanaugh sighed, "It's like a Heckle and Jeckle rerun."
They laughed and he couldn't hold out much longer. He laughed too and reached into his drawer and pulled out a badge. He tossed it at Jane and she caught it cleanly.
She looked down at the number on the BPD Badge, 825.
She stopped laughing and stared at him. "This is my badge."
"Yeah it is." He said. "When Admin came for it I made sure that I couldn't find it but your service weapon is gone."
She smiled, "That's okay. It was too small anyway."
He dug into the drawer again and found another badge that he tossed to Kate. She looked at it.
Detective Sergeant, 426. On the back was written in sharpie on the clasp, H426.
"That would be your badge number." He said, "Jane is Victor 825 because her badge was issued by Vice. Yours is Henry 426 because it will be issued by Homicide."
Jane stared at him. "You knew! You knew I wouldn't come back without her!"
"After what happened with you and Maura," he said confidently, "I knew where you went and I knew why you went to Beckett. All those years I let you go to LETO I knew that eventually I'd either lose you to NYPD or NYPD would lose Beckett to me. You had me worried there for a while Rizzoli until the Doc quit her job to follow you. That was when I knew for sure you'd be back. I just didn't think it would take so long for you to pull your head out of your ass."
She feigned indignance, "Hey! I resemble that remark!"
She looked at her badge and then to Kate. "I haven't said yes yet."
Kate looked back at her. "You should. You'd be happier here."
Jane set the badge on the desk and looked straight at her old boss, "I made a promise to my partner and I keep my promises."
Fingering the badge lightly, Kate stared at it. Boston. Never had she thought she'd consider leaving New York but there she was thinking about it all over again for the fifth time since Jane had come to her a year ago on this very day. The crazy woman with wild ebony curls had shook up her life from the moment she met her in June of 2008 and now she was thinking about it all over again. Jane was so much more than a partner, a friend, a sister. She was her twin, equal and opposite, ying to her yang. She could look for a thousand years and never meet someone who she could match with so perfectly, so effortlessly.
Kate fingered the badge again and looked over to her partner and shook her head, "Fucking Crazy Bitch."
She said as she set the badge on the desk and looked to Cavanaugh. "I'm in."
Jane's jaw hit the floor. "Kate, what about… You know."
"I can get what I need here too Jane and it's not like Gates is going to let us go right when we get back. This is going to take some time and I doubt we'll get to transfer together anyway."
"What about Rick?" she asked.
"If he loves me as much as he says he does," she said calmly, "He'll come too."
Jane smiled at Cavanaugh, "You're going to need a fill in until June. I won't leave Maura in NYC."
He nodded, "I think I can handle a floater for a few months."
Sitting at heir desks in the 12th bull pen, both of them were looking down at their transfer papers. Jane looked up at her partner.
"You really don't have to do this. We can stay here."
Kate tapped her pen against her lip as she considered her partner, "No. I think it's a good move. You and Maura aren't the only one's thinking about children. I think it would be nice for them to have a yard and open spaces to run and raising kids where it doesn't take twenty minutes to get five miles away should something happen."
Jane blinked at her, "Your thinking about children?"
"I have been but don't tell Mr. Ego. It's just a thought right now and I like to plan ahead."
She nodded, "Well I'm sure Beacon Hill has a few fancy places for sale."
"It's never been about that for me." she said, "He's like Maura. He buys without consideration of price because he wants the best for Alexis and now me."
"I know." She thought of all of Maura's clothes hanging up in the closet. She probably spent more on them than Jane had made in her life.
Jane took her pen out of the cup and looked down, "All it takes is a few lines of ink."
Kate nodded as she stared at the line marked with an X. "A few lines and we start one helluva shit storm."
Jane put her pen to the page and stopped, "Gates is going to hit the roof."
"Yep." Kate said and she took a deep breath and signed.
Jane gently scribbled her name and tossed the pen back in the cup.
"Well," Kate said as she stood up, "lets go ruin the Captain's day."
Jane nodded and stood up. They walked over to the office of their CO and knocked.
"Come in." The sharp voice shouted.
They looked at each other and took a deep breath for courage.
Kate stepped in first, "Sir, do you have a minute?"
Jane walked in behind her and shut the door.
