The following day, Isobel had to go back to work. She said goodbye to Maggie before leaving and told her to call her if she needed anything. About an hour later, Maggie was beginning to miss Isobel. She was bored beyond belief and wanted to just hear Isobel's voice. She was going to call her, but her nurse came in to wheel her to physical therapy. Finally after about an hour of physical therapy, Maggie was glad to be back in her room. She grabbed her phone and decided to call Isobel. "Hey! Is everything okay?" Isobel asked with a worried voice.
"No yeah, everything is fine. I'm just calling to see how everything is going with work." Maggie said.
"You're bored, aren't you?" Isobel asked.
"100%." Maggie said, which caused Isobel to chuckle.
"How about I come over after work?" Isobel asked.
"I would love that." Maggie said with the biggest smile.
"Great! I shall see you after work. Don't have too much fun without me!" Isobel said.
"Oh I'll try not to." Maggie said causing Isobel to laugh. Her laugh is something Maggie has come to love.
"Hey! I'm assuming that was Isobel?" her daytime nurse asked, walking into the room
"It was. How did you know?" Maggie asked.
"The smile on your face. I've noticed a certain spark in your eyes when she was here and that same smile." the nurse said.
"I feel like all of you guys are invested in this." Maggie said with a chuckle.
"Oh we're all hopeless romantics around here. Also just very nosey. You should've been here when we had this one couple come in. They were engaged, and they came in for reasons I'm not allowed to discuss. But turns out the guys was already married, so we had to notify the wife. He never told the other girl he was married, so she had no idea. The kicker is that the girl had another boyfriend, and the wife was sleeping with the guys brother."
"Oh wow. I guess the secrets were brought out that night." Maggie said.
"Oh yeah. We had to almost call the police because it got so bad. So when we see two people who are in love, we always try to soak it up because unfortunately we see a lot of heartbreak here." the nurse said.
"I wouldn't say she's in love with me." Maggie said.
"Oh she most definitely is. I mean, she's your boss, correct? She spent the entire day and night here with you when I'm sure she has a very important job to do. My boss definitely would not do that if I ended up in the hospital. Plus, she has that same sparkle in her eyes."
"We can't date. It goes against the rules. Plus she's way out of my league. I'm not lucky enough to date such an attractive, amazing, intelligent woman." Maggie said.
"Well I think you should still go for it. Your luck will change. And you know what? Fuck the rules. You don't choose who you fall in love with. The hire up people can fuck off." the nurse said. Maggie chuckled a little bit, thinking about how that conversation would go if she said that.
~7 months later~
Maggie was released from the hospital after a week and decided to go back home to Muncie, IN to be with her parents while she recovered. Seven agonizingly long months pass by before she is able to return back to New York to work. Isobel talked to her everyday, so she always had that to look forward to. She never told Isobel that was coming home. She had the director keep it a secret. When she walked into the JOC, OA was the first to see her. He gave her a hug, and eventually everyone gave her a hug. Isobel was busy in her office, so Maggie made her way to her office and knocked. She entered after hearing her say 'come in'. "Hey, hey!" Maggie said.
"Hey!" Isobel said ecstatically. She got up from her desk and practically ran over to Maggie to give her a hug. "You should've told me you were coming back!" Isobel said.
"I wanted it to be a surprise!" Maggie said.
"Well I'm definitely surprised. Are you sure you're ready to be back?" Isobel asked.
"I am. I've rewatched all of my favorite shows four times. I'm ready for something other than that." Maggie said.
"Okay. Well it looks like we may have a case." Isobel said, looking towards Jubal. Maggie nodded her head, and they went out into the JOC. There was a killer who was murdering brunette women in their 30's to 40's. The killer has already killed three women making he/she a serial killer. The team discovered two days later that all three victims visited the same nightclub on the night they were murdered. Tiff and Scola went to the nightclub to ask questions and look at the security footage. They see a guy who looked suspicious, but no facial recognition was able to be made.
"We could send someone undercover." OA recommended.
"The only person who fits the description of the killers type is Maggie, and I'm not about to send her undercover after just getting back." Isobel said.
"I can do it. I have no problem with it." Maggie said.
"Maggie, I'm not comfortable with sending you undercover." Isobel said.
"When I told you I was ready to get back, I meant it. And that includes going undercover." Maggie said. Isobel thought about it for about 10 seconds before speaking.
"Fine. But if you're going undercover, so am I just in case anything goes south." Isobel said.
"Is-"
"Do you want to go undercover or not?" Isobel asked.
"Yes, I do." Maggie said.
"Then I'm going to go uncover with you, and that's final." Isobel said. Maggie sighed and walked away. OA went after Maggie to see what was wrong.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"I'm tired of people thinking I can't take care of myself! I'm very much capable of doing that! If I weren't, I wouldn't be back!" Maggie said angrily.
"Maggie, I get it. I do, but it's not that we don't think you can't take care of yourself. We know you can. It's just maybe you came back a little soon." OA said.
"I've been gone almost a year. That's plenty of time." Maggie said.
"Physically, maybe. But what about mentally?" he asked.
"Whatever. I have to go home and get ready." Maggie said and went over to her desk. She grabbed her things and went home to get ready. She didn't change her eye makeup, but she did add some foundation and concealer. She then decided to do beach waves since she didn't want to wear her hair up. She went to her closet and decided to go with a black jumpsuit and pair it with some heels.
Maggie sent Isobel a message, asking her if she was ready. Isobel responded saying that she was, so Maggie asked for her address to pick her up. Once Isobel responded, Maggie went to her car and drove to her house. Turns out it's only a five minute drive from where she lived.
Maggie got out of her car and went to the front door and knocked. Isobel opened the door, and Maggie completely forgot how to breathe. Isobel was wearing a burgundy, form fitting dress with a slit on the right side and a pair of nude heels.
"Maggie, are you okay?" Isobel asked. Maggie didn't hear her, though. She was too busy staring at Isobel. "Mags, hey, are you okay?" Isobel asked again, this time reaching out and touching Maggie's shoulder.
"Huh?" Maggie asked, looking back up to Isobel's eyes.
"I asked if you were okay." Isobel said with a little chuckle.
"Oh. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just not used to seeing you in something that isn't pencil skirts or knee length dresses." Maggie answered.
"Right. Well, it's not often I get to dress like this, so I figured that I might as well make the best of it." Isobel answered.
"Well you definitely look absolutely stunning." Maggie said, which cause Isobel to blush.
"You too. You should wear your hair down more often." Isobel said.
"Eh, I'll think about it." Maggie said. Maggie held out her hand towards Isobel, and she took it. Maggie lead her to her car and opened it for her.
"I always knew you were a BMW kinda girl." Isobel said.
"What can I say, I like the looks of them." Maggie said with a smile. She closed Isobel's door once she was in and then walked around to the drivers side and got in. She drove to the club that the suspect scopes out his targets at. They go to the van that OA, Tiff, and Scola were and got their ear pieces and necklaces that had built in cameras that were not visible to the naked eye. They then walked to the front and were able to walk right in.
"Shall we get a drink first?" Isobel asked.
"Is that allowed?" Maggie asked.
"It is if I say it is." Isobel said, so they walked over to the bar and each got a shot of whiskey.
"Please don't drink too much." the heard in their ear. Isobel sighed and paid for their shots. Maggie looked at Isobel before leaning towards her ear asked a question.
"So who are you to me in case anyone asks?"
"Just say I'm your friend." Isobel responded. Maggie nodded, and Isobel decided to drag Maggie out to the dance floor.
"Hey guys, there's a guy to your left that has been staring at you." Scola said a few minutes later. Maggie looked around and made eye contact with him for a split second before looking away. She couldn't see his face, so she had no idea what he looked like. Isobel was dancing with some guy, and so was Maggie. She felt weird dancing with a stranger, and she was completely jealous of the guy dancing with Isobel. Maggie left the dance floor and got another shot. She downed it before going back to the dance floor.
"You look so sexy in that outfit." Maggie heard a guy say in her ear. She turned to look and saw the suspect. Of course he is attractive. At least to most women, but to Maggie he most certainly was not.
"Thank you. Want to dance?" Maggie asked. He nodded his head, and so they danced together. Isobel looked over and noticed that Maggie was dancing with the suspect. Isobel's stomach filled with worry and also jealousy. He leaned down and whispered something in her ear before they started leaving. Isobel saw this and decided to follow close behind.
"Guys I think they're going out the back way." Isobel said. Once they hit hardwood floor away from the loud music, Isobel took off her heels before continuing to follow them. She saw his grip on Maggie get tighter, and he whispered something in her ear while putting a gun to her side.
"Jeremy London, FBI!" Isobel said. She took her gun out of the clutch she was holding and pointed it to him. He shot at her while running away with Maggie. Before Maggie could break loose from his grip, Isobel shot Jeremy in the leg causing him to let go and drop to the floor. Maggie brought his hands behind his back and put the cuffs on him while they waited for someone to get him. Once OA took him outside, Maggie got up and hugged Isobel. Not for any specific reason. She just wanted to be close to her.
"What's this for?" Isobel asked, hugging back
"For saving me." Maggie said. Obviously she didn't want to tell her that she just wanted to be close.
"Oh. Of course," Isobel said. They hugged each other a little bit too long before Scola walked in and asked if they were going back to the building. "Yeah. We'll be right behind you guys." Isobel said. Maggie and Isobel walked back to Maggie's car, and Maggie had her arm protectively around Isobel's waist subconsciously. They got into Maggie's car and went back to 26 fed to do their paperwork before calling it a night. Guys were staring at them, mostly at Isobel, and Maggie began getting jealous. She knows she shouldn't since pretty much all of them are married, but it's the thought of them even thinking about Isobel in a sexual way.
Maggie finished her paperwork within 20 minutes. Usually it takes her less than that, but she couldn't stop thinking about the way Isobel danced and how great her body looks in her dress. "Hey! What do you say we hit up a different club without our co-workers watching and listening in to our conversation?" Isobel asked, walking up to Maggie's desk. Maggie didn't see her, so Isobel ended up scaring her.
"Uh, sure. Plus I could go for a lot of alcohol right now." Maggie said.
"Oh no. We are only having one more shot before we enjoy the night." Isobel said.
"Fine. But that doesn't mean I'm not drinking at home." Maggie's responded. Maggie got up from her desk and grabbed her purse. They went to her car and found a random club. They went inside and got their shots first before going to the dance floor. Isobel was having a good time dancing with a random guy while Maggie was just there dancing awkwardly. Suddenly a blonde woman walks up to her and starts grinding against her. Maggie allowed it to happen since she wasn't going to ever dance with Isobel. The girl turned around after a while and kissed Maggie. Usually Maggie would push the person off of her, but she didn't care this time. Isobel didn't like the fact that Maggie was kissing and dancing with someone else. Jealousy was burning through her veins. Yes she was dancing with a guy, but that soon was over and wanted Maggie to herself.
"Excuse me, but could I have my friend back?" Isobel asked the woman.
"Uh, no. We're having a great time over here." the woman said.
"Oh I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. Give me my back." Isobel said and then dragged Maggie over to a different spot on the dance floor. Isobel wasn't normally like this, but the alcohol started taking over.
"What the hell, Isobel?! I was having a good time before you ripped me away from her!" Maggie said with anger.
"I didn't like her. Now come on. Let's dance." Isobel said before turning around and grinding up against Maggie. Maggie couldn't believe what was happening. Was Isobel jealous of that girl? It didn't matter because she was finally dancing with Isobel. Maggie placed her hands on Isobel's hips and pulled her closer.
"God you look amazing tonight." Maggie whispered in Isobel's ear, sending shivers down Isobel's spine. Maggie's right hand traveled down Isobel's hip and stopped when she could feel her skin on her thigh.
"You're playing a dangerous game, Maggie Bell." Isobel said, beginning to get very turn on.
"Good thing I live for danger." Maggie responded. She inched her hand closer to where Isobel wanted her the most but stopped just before she reached it.
"You're such a tease." Isobel said.
"Oh I know." Maggie said with a smirk. She moved her hand back to Isobel's hip and danced with her until she need to be impossibly closer to her. She couldn't physically move herself any closer to her, so she started kissing up her shoulder to her neck where she found her sweet spot almost instantly. She knows it's a huge risk considering Isobel is her boss and could fire her for doing this, but in the moment Maggie didn't care. Isobel couldn't take it anymore. So she turned around and kissed Maggie. The kiss was filled need and lust; both of them very much turned on.
"I think we should take this back to your place." Isobel whispered into Maggie's ear. Maggie nodded, and she quickly guided Isobel out of the club and to her car. She sped to her apartment. When she opened the door, she allowed Isobel to go in first before going in herself and closing it. She then slammed Isobel up against the wall and kissed her hungrily.
"Have you seriously been fucking your boss? You're so unbelievable Maggie!" they heard someone say and scared them.
"What the hell are you doing here Erin?! I thought you were in rehab?" Maggie asked.
"I was until I got out today! I came by to surprise you and say 'hello', but you weren't here, so I figured I'd just wait up for you." Erin said.
"I know you're my sister and have a key to my apartment, but you can't just show up unannounced, especially at this hour!" Maggie said.
"Well like I said, I wanted to surprise you!" Erin said.
"Well hi, I'm glad you're doing better, now can you please get out?" Maggie asked.
"How long have you two been-"
"Out!" Maggie said. Erin decided to just leave. "I'm sorry." Maggie said.
"It's okay. I'm assuming you don't have to best relationship with her?" Isobel asked.
"We were like best friends when we were younger. But then she started doing drugs. After that, everything started going south." Maggie said.
"I'm sorry." Isobel said.
"Don't be. She made the choice to start doing them. She knew the consequences." Maggie said tears brewing in her eyes. Isobel kissed her gently.
"She got the help she needs, so now we just hope she keeps staying clean." Isobel said.
"Yeah. Can I ask you something?" Maggie asked.
"Of course." Isobel said.
"Why weren't you freaked out by me touching you or kissing your neck? And why did you kiss me? I mean, you're my boss, and I figured you would fire me for doing that." Maggie asked.
"I wanted you just as much as you wanted me," Isobel said. Here goes nothing. "Mags, you're an amazing and beautiful person, and I ended up falling in love with you. I don't know when, but I realized it as you were in the hospital. I didn't want to tell you because I was scared of your reaction. But tonight gave me some hope that you feel the same way about me." Isobel said.
"Man, the nurses were right. They all told me that you were in love with me, but I didn't believe them. I mean, you are a goddess, so intelligent, and just an overall amazing person who is way out of my league. I never thought you would ever feel the same way, so I never believed what they were saying was true. But, Isobel, I feel the same way. I fell for you, hard, my second year with the bureau. When you dated Ethan, I was so jealous and never thought he was good for you. I guess I was right, and I still want to beat him for cheating on you. But I'm so glad he messed up because now I get to have my chance with you. Of course, after a few dates and I officially ask you. Gotta make sure I do things right with you." Maggie said.
"God you're too good for me." Isobel said, starting to tear up. She's never met a guy who wanted to do things right. She always just hooked up with the guy, and the guys just assume they're in a relationship which was weird since guys usually are just looking for a one night stand. But the guys she dated pretty much just used her for sex, so it was almost the same.
"I'm not like the other guys. You deserve to be treated like the queen that you are, and I plan on doing that. No more of you having to beg just for the bare minimum." Maggie said. Isobel kissed Maggie once again. They both were exhausted, so Maggie asked Isobel to just stay the night. Maggie gave Isobel an oversized t-shirt and a pair of shorts to put on. Maggie also may or may not have sneaked a few glances of Isobel changing and vice versa.
"Do you want me in the guest room?" Isobel asked.
"Nonsense. If you're comfortable, you can just sleep with me," Maggie said. Isobel was a little hesitant but agreed to it. They laid down under the covers, and Maggie kissed Isobel one last time before they both were out like a light.
