The New Detective
Chapter 2
Maura
( JUST LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THAT IN THIS STORY THAT JANE WILL BE 35 AND MAURA 34)
Jane shakes her head as she stand up from her desk, striding her way towards her new partner, the young detective was looking around the room, looking just a tad bit over whelmed by everything, in this moment she looked like she was just a young kid, too young to be a detective.
"hey I'm Jane, your new partner" the tall woman says, putting a hand out for Gunther to shake, she smiles and grips her hand tight, giving it a good shake, before releasing her hand,
"nice to meet you Jane, I'm Gunther but everyone calls me Gunth" she says confidently as she stands just that little bit straighter as she talks, eyes now sparkling with confidence and excitement,
"So how old are you Beale?" Jane questions curiously, eyebrow raised, the younger girl smirked scratching the back of her head,
"the nice ripe age of 23"she beamed up at her, letting out a soft nervous laugh, but this had caught the older woman of guard, she had gotten her shield at 24, youngest to be promoted, it takes he a second to recover, she smiles and points towards her desk, then starts making her way back,
"That's pretty cool I was promoted pretty young to" Gunther nods smiling at the older woman, seeming to calm a lot more.
An hour had past white the two women talked about the academy, Gunther had told the detective how she was originally born Australia, hence the slight off accent she had, and that she had grown up in Hawaii then moved to LA when she was 13.
Jane had seemed impressed with what the girl had to say about her achievements, and Beale was hanging of every word of advice the older woman had to give,
"so yea I was transferred here because that thought it be best I trained under Dr isles then the sad excuse we had as a coroner back in LA" Gunther laughed with jane as they walked down to get coffee,
"Well I can tell you now that you and Maura will get along just fine" Jane assures the girl as they pay for their coffee, after a few seconds of silence the younger detective spoke up,
"Jane? Where would I find Dr Isles exactly? "she runs her finders over the rim of her cup as they reach the elevator, Jane smiles and presses the down button for the elevator, this causes the younger girl to knit her eyebrows together in confusion, "what are you doing? Why are we going down?" she questions as they step into the elevator, Jane smiles down at her.
"to see Dr isles, she should still be in the morgue" Jane says confidently looking at her watch, smiling as she sees that it's just a little before 1:30pm which means Maura should still be in her office.
Once they reached the basement they stepped out of the elevator, Jane leading the way towards Maura's office, not even bothering to knock the older woman just walks in, flopping down on one of the couches in the office, this caused the blonde to look up at the detectives, a huge grin spreading across her face.
"Hey Maura" Jane says from her spot looking over her shoulder to look at her friend, Maura looked over to Jane, then looked back to Gunther,
"I'm Dr Maura isles" she says softly moving around her desk towards the younger girl, hand out stretched for a shake, "you must be my new assistant, and the new addition to the homicide unit, yes?" she questions, her hazel eyes lighting up with joy at each word,
"Ahh yea ... yes I'm Gunther Beale" the younger girl stutters out to the beautiful blonde doctor, shaking her hand lightly before stuffing her hand back into her tight pants, her eyes look over the doctor, taking in the older woman, "I love your dress Dr isles, is that a Cassandra Strickenberg?" she questions as she points at the emerald green dress, this had made Maura's whole body beam with happiness,
"my gosh yes it is!" she replies excitedly, "not many people would have guessed" Maura then turns around to her best friend lightly slapping Janes arm," Jane you should learn from her" she teases, a cute little smirk sat on Maura's face as she turned back to the younger detective, Jane had just rolled her eyes playfully, but Gunther noticed the slight irritation in her eyes, but decided to ignore it, chalk it up as nothing,
"okay, so now that's out of the way, Beale I'm going to leave you're here with Maura, talk about fashion or whatever, or you can come back upstairs so I can take you over everything" the brunette looked between the two friends,
"Is it okay if I stay down here? I would like to go over everything I need to know with Dr Isles first" Beale says coolly looking over to Maura, a small smile on her face. This caused Jane to huff, and walk to the door,
"Okay well you nerds enjoy" and with that she was gone, Maura shook her head at her friend's actions and invites the younger girl over to the couch, once they had both taken a seat, Gunther looked over to the orange chair that sat in the corner of the room.
"Dr Isles is that a Kareem Rasheed label I see?" the young detective questions walking over to the funny looking seat, taking a seat on it,
"You know of the label?"
"Yes, it looks nice but I would never purchase one" she smiles over to the older woman, a sparkle in her eyes as she shrugged it off as nothing.
The two had talked for hours, going over protocol, safely procedures, and meeting all of the team down stairs, Gunther had hit it off with the techs and Maura, she was happy with herself, by the end of the tour around the morgue, the two had went for lunch earlier in the day, but the hunger had caught up to the two women, this was brought to their attention when the doctor had been showing Beale her technique of noting everything on a victim when a large loud grumble made itself known as it left the smaller brunettes body, causing Maura to giggle, placing the pen down, looking to the girl.
"you sound hungry" she states as she looks at her watch, her eyebrows raise in shock, they had been so occupied with going over everything it had gotten to 7:30pm, "my gosh I'm so sorry its so late! "Maura states as she leads them to her office,
"It's okay Dr Isles, I should head back to my hotel anyways" Beale states grabbing her jacket of the hook, making her way to the door,
"do you need a lift?" Maura offers, grabbing her jacket and bag also, making her way towards the detective, a soft kind smile gracing her face as she looks at the younger woman, Gunther scratches the back of her head, looking to the floor, a blush making its way up her neck, she nods,
"Um yea, that sounds nice thank you" she smiles up at the blonde, the blush slowly disappearing.
As thy make their way the the doctors silver Mazda, they walk in silence, the only sound is the small beep of the Cr as it unlocks, as they slide into their seats and buckle their belts does Maura break their silence, looking to her right, catching Gunther's eyes,
"Where to?"
"Ah… Buckminster hotel?" she mumbles, it sounded like a question, she seemed embarrassed in the choice of hotel, it sure made Maura gasp in horror, this made he cringe,
"Oh no! you are not" she states driving towards the hotel anyways, ""that is one of the worst hotels in Boston! You won't be staying there" she looks over at the detective, "stay at my home, I insist" she demands nicely, an embarrassed smile gracing he face as she realized how she was talking,
"I don't want to bother D Isles, my bags are already there" she replies sadly, "I don't want to bother or get in your way" she looks at her hands, playing with the old band wrapped around her finger,
"no excuses detective you will be staying with me it's no bother I promise" she says this in a stern tone, but all was well when he bright smile graced he lips once again, calming Gunther as she relaxed, nodding to the doctor in defeat.
An hour had passed before they rolled into Maura's garage, Gunther looked over the mansion Maura calls home, before they had gotten to her house they went and collected her bags from the hotel, the had went and picked up some Chinese for dinner, the young detective had paid, even when Maura insisted on paying the brunette had won the little disagreement with a triumphant smirk set in place,
"I'll gab the bags Dr isles" Gunther states as she makes he way to the trunk, grabbing out her duffle bags, and backpack, before closing the trunk with a 'thump'.
Once they stepped foot into her house, Gunther took her shoes of at the door, causing Maura to raise an eyebrow and a smile to form, not saying a word she paces the food on the kitchen bench as she gabs to plates from the cupboards above her,
"Your house is really nice Dr isles" the young woman says, looking around the room, Maura looks at her a twinkle in her eye, placing two wine glasses on the bench as she pours the wine,
"thank you Gunther "she makes her way over to the girl, smirk set on her face, and please call my Maura" she hands the glass of wine to the girl as she takes a sip of her own wine, "now let me show you the guest room then we can eat".
