Bye Bye The Maura We Know

Frost and Korsak makes sure Maura knows, they won't leave till they know how's she's doing and her conditions. Maura huffed, but accepted it, knowing how stubborn they can be.

"How long have I been out?" Maura questions, all felling having left her voice.

"Three weeks I think, or maybe a month..." Korsak replies, noticing Maura's lack of feeling.

"It's a month now, because it's Friday." Frost adds. Maura nods.

"Why aren't you at the dirty robber?" Maura questions with very little emotion. She misses Friday's at the robber. A nurse comes in.

"Hello, Dr. Isles, I see your awake. How are you feeling?"

"Well, I see my vitals are stable, and taking into account I was stabbed and did die for a few minutes and also taking into account my physical body has had a month to heal, I'd say I'm doing well," Maura finished her mini rant.

"Well the doctor has said that as soon as your chest doesn't hurt when you try and sit up. We've already taken your stitches out, when you were out of it, and so that's not keeping you here. We found no complications when we had to do surgery and as long as none happen, you should be set soon." Maura nodded.

"May I please get some food? What can I have?"

The nurse looks down at Maura's chart, "What ever you want."

"I'd like a salad please." The nurse nods and leave the room. Maura turns to the guest in her room, "Please leave now." Korsak and Frost look at each other, neither of them wanting to leave.

"Are you sure you don't want one of us to stay?" Frost asks. Maura hesitates a minute glancing at Jane before shaking her head, knowing if she speaks, her voice will crack.

Frost and Korsak sigh before leaving Maura's room with Jane.

"So, what was that about?" Jane asks. Frost shakes his head and Korsak mumbles something Jane can't hear so Jane drops the topic.

Maura sits in her room and waits for the nurse to return. The nurse enters the room with her food.

"Nurse, I don't want any visitors, ever, thanks," The nurse acknowledges Maura's request.

Months later, Maura is fully healed and hasn't talked to Frost, Korsak, or Jane since the hospital. She hasn't been to work since the day she died, and she hasn't been herself since that day either.

Maura pulled out a phone she hadn't thought about since Collin died. She dial the preset number and slid the phone to her ear.

"Hello... Yes, I'm all better, good as new... I want to join you."

Frost and Korsak got the call, they bolt from their seats and race to their cars.

"Text Jane to meet us there." Frost nods and texts Jane.

"I can't believe it, Paddy has escaped."
