I can't believe that I am here beside this doctor, Maura Isles. I have been researching on her life of work as the doctor. She is very brilliant on the science. I just admire her views but I am afraid of her. Most of time.


Jane walked up to Korsak. Her eyes scanned on the streets. The sirens were loud, and people were showing up to see what happened at the crime scene. Maura went separately to delve into on the two victims. Frost remained behind to wait for his partner while engaged in observing the scene. The morgue techs breezed in to oversee the evidence around the crime scene. The veteran cop penned on his pad before looking up at Jane.

"Korsak, what's going on?"

"Two victims. One boy and one girl. They've seen when falling from the roof. The witness was closing it up at her restaurant for a night. She found them on the street." He indicated to the witness who was agitated in the ambulance van. Jane peered at her for a moment before taking a look at the roof from the street.

"How old were they?"

"Barely adults. You should see them. Jane, It's pretty bad."

"Did you find anything about them?"

"No, they have no ID on them. The witness found them when she closed up for the night. She heard a thud when it happened."

"Korsak, only the witness encountered them then called the police?"

"No one walked or drove through here. The people didn't notice everything except the witness who discovered them. And, no one awakened in the middle of a night, Jane." Jane nodded before rubbing her forehead. Korsak sighed before moving on to the witness for questioning. The brunette detective walked to her partner before taking over the crime scene. Frost took some breath before gesturing a nod toward her.

"Korsak clarified that the victims fell from the roof. So, you should go measure up and go back to the station if you locate anything like a camera or something on the roof. I will stay with Maura until she completes her examination. You will go with Korsak."

"Alright, Jane." Frost nodded before greeting to the officer who was standing by the restaurant's doors. Korsak was still inquiring in the ambulance van without people snooping on them. Jane exhaled deeply. She knew that she detested the night duty but moved on anyway.

The brunette detective reached toward her best friend. Maura was deeply examining the male victim's findings. Jane took a peep on the male victim. It was gruesome to see them on the street. The male victim had two arms that broke and some gashes. The clothes ripped off. But the opposite of the male victim, the girl was the worst one and her clothes were torn by half. She was utterly half-naked and had laceration everywhere. Her eyes displayed the fear, but the male victim didn't.

"What did you find, Maur?"

"I cannot confirm anything until I get them to the lab. But I can tell you some pieces of evidence from my observation. The male victim's left arm was the fracture, and his right arm was twisted. Also, the female victim had some injuries. Again, I cannot corroborate it until I have everything on the report, Jay." Maura smiled. The brunette detective nodded before looking at the victims.

The female victim was trying to fight against someone, and it revealed fear in her eyes. The male victim seemed to give up his body somehow. Jane observed on the male victim deeply before hearing Korsak. She got up and let Maura wave to the morgue tech for bringing the victims back to the BPD and disclosed about the morgue doors after they brought the victims inside.

"The witness heard a thud, which was a heavy hit. She was debatable what it was but heard it from the roof until it happened in front of her. Poor thing."

"Damn. Frost is still checking out on the roof. You can wait here. I am going with Maura."

Korsak nodded before gesturing her to go, and Jane smiled. Maura expected her best friend to join her. The veteran cop exhaled in the air before coming inside the restaurant. The officers still chaperoned the people to be not in the crime scene.


Thirty minutes later, Jane took a nap in Maura's office. The honey blonde was in the morgue, hummed to herself, and working on the male victim. By her back, the female victim was still on the deathbed. Maura almost forgot about her recorder from the desk. She rolled her eyes and took her gloves off before coming into the office. Her eyes viewed up at Jane on the uncomfortable couch that Jane mentioned back in the conversation. The sight made her smile and to want to kiss her forehead. Maura did kiss on her forehead before clasping the recorder from the desk and came out to the morgue.

Maura had no idea that Jane slowly woke up and looked up at her best friend's retreating toward the morgue. It made her smile before falling asleep. The honey blonde pressed a button on the recorder and described everything that she saw on the clothes and findings of the evidence. Before processing to get the clothes in the zipper bag, she went through deeply on the pockets and ripped holes. The dirt on the male victim barely impacted.

The honey blonde woman knew that her lab techs would come back to work in the first thing of the morning as it was requested. She was glad that she had Susie in her team. Maura honestly appreciated her work to find the evidence to be true. No one knew why Maura was telling the truth based on the scientific findings as she can. Luckily for her, she was at ease with her life beside her best friend, Jane. Because they were the groundbreaking team to find a killer, her scientific findings and Jane's detective skills were compatible as they closed the cases many times.

Most of everyone at the Boston Police Department always wanted to be them. Even the soon-to-be doctors wanted to be Maura Isles. Her reputation and name were establishing as the label in the US. Because of her razor-sharp findings on the pieces of evidence that verified the killer to become guilty of the murders. She was appointed by the governor's approval to be a Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was not Dr. Pike.

For Dr. Pike, Maura felt aversion toward his methods of finding the evidence and corrupting the reports. She could fire him immediately but short-staffed for now. The honey-blonde woman was elated that Maura found her home at the Boston Police Academy. Maura considered Boston as her first home since she grew up in there before moving out to Europe for the boarding school. Jane knew her private education was very expensive to spend it all on Maura's life but was still in awe of Maura's brilliance of scientific findings through their cases daily.

The male victim's clothes that were arranged in the zipper bags as steady for the crime techs to take it all for the lab tests. Maura composed the notes on each bag before putting it together in the large box. She approached back to scrutinize the nude victim on the deathbed as she prepped the soap and water to wash the dirt off on the male victim. Maura was determined about her methods of washing the bodies decently.

Dr. Pike missed a lot of pieces of evidence as he didn't find anything. It made Maura irritated with him for a while after getting a body to bring back to her and continued to investigate until the killer was guilty of murder. It occurred a few months ago when Dr. Pike did that.

The male victim was squeaky clean as Maura was pleased that her proper washing was perfectly neat. She began to collect pieces of shreds of evidence from toes to head. The toes were callous but big. His legs were short but hardly grown to be an adult size. It could depict Maura that the male was diminutive than the female victim. As an accurate report based on the male victim, it still compiled pieces of evidence thoroughly.

Maura was still bollixed and artless to the social gathering, but for her scientific findings, she was thriving into it as she perceived the male genitalia. The medical examiner tilted her head as she detected on the male genitalia. It was a modest one she has ever seen in her whole life.

The examination resumed, as Maura proclaimed on the recorder. The chest had several bruises from the fall. She confirmed the report as she accumulated from the outside of a crime scene. The honey-blonde woman sighed as she carried on to oversee on the neck. There were two holes penetrated on his neck. It halted her examination.

Maura was aghast that the male victim had one same modus operandi as Nicholas Reed was in the situation. She realized that the female victim might have one too. It was noted on the recorder as she continually scoured on his hair, and it was concluded.

But the autopsy was omitting until the first thing in the morning. Maura was feeling drained from working all day. She was convinced that Lieutenant Cavanaugh would give the homicide team to have a day off. The honey blonde woman stamped her name on the male victim and navigated to face the female victim.

The routine of investigation on the female victim was the same as Maura did before to the male victim. She amassed the evidence on the clothing, then refined them in the bags and put in the large box which was labeled for the female. Maura scrubbed the female's body with soap and water for a while. The dirt was culverted through the deathbed.

The medical examiner identified the outer skin from toes to head. The female had fractured ankles, bruises on the legs, chest, and arms. The female had strangulations on her wrists as questionable that she was struggling with someone to free herself. Maura addressed it down on the report as she felt heartbroken for the female victim.

Some bruises were purple and black on the chest. Maura checked out the female genitalia and ordered the rape kit as well as it was continually reviewing until she reached to the neck. There was the verdict of the two holes penetrated on her neck. It was the same M.O. since Nicholas Reed.

It was an entire report that Maura recorded her explanation through her analysis of both of the victims. She knew it was time for her to get an x-ray on both of the victims before going home. The honey-blonde woman speculated that they would have the white blood cells to fix their broken bones. So, she advanced to scan on the male victim and salvaged the files to the computer.

Maura ensured that she had each picture that was shown from the male's body and filed everything in one file. Then, she went ahead with the female body to scour through everything to submit all of the pictures in the folder on the computer. It could be assigned to Frost's computer if it was necessary to prove that the evidence was too valid.

Finally, she achieved everything as she fed the notes to the computer that was attached for her case with the homicide team. Maura put the victims away to the body morgue overnight until she returns to work. The lights went off as she strode back to the office.

Entering the office, Maura saw Jane cuddling with a pillow. She smirked at the sight of her best friend and kissed her forehead. Jane muttered to herself. Maura snickered before caressing Jane's shoulder.

"Jay, get up, and we will return to my place."

"Stop, Ma. I don't want you to interrupt my sleep."

"It's not Ma."

"Oh, Ma. Stop it."

Maura shook her head as she caressed the brown hair and leaned toward her ear.

"Jay, wake up and eat my vagina." It caused Jane to wake up because it was not her mother's voice. That was an odd saying Ma would voice for it, but it was an awkward moment between them. The honey-blonde woman smirked. Jane arose quickly as she patted herself for a gun, badge, wallet, and keys.

Maura urged her best friend out of the office before collecting her purse and key. She sealed the door behind them and tugged the sleepy brunette woman to the elevators. They went to the parking garage and unlocked the blue Toyota Prius. Jane didn't want to drive but wanted to get sleep in her car. Maura didn't mind it at all and drove back home.


Out of the sight from Maura and Jane, Elizabeth accompanied them for their safety. She sneaked herself to come inside the house that Maura owned and combed herself to hide in a dark shadow so the ladies cannot see Elizabeth. Maura aided Jane to get to bed, but Jane secured herself to lock the front and back doors. Also, the brunette detective double-checked on the windows to be locked.

Elizabeth knew that Jane was a protective one for her family. It was not one of her worries. But it was Maura Isles, it was Elizabeth's priority to keep her safe as her boss stipulated the protection of her. She was distinguished to be the one for her. For her history with her boss, it was complicated for a long time.

Maura and Jane finally got to fall asleep in a same bed. Elizabeth sought them in the master bedroom and ascertained their safety. She appeared to the living room that was adjoining to the kitchen.

Elizabeth didn't notice that Bass came upon her feet. She was not jumpy but felt the bump. She looked down at the tortoise with a smile.

"They are safe for now. I promise you, Bass. I conserve them within my life. Go to sleep."

Bass slowly trekked to space under the table. Elizabeth chuckled as she got to the couch. Her telepathy connection began to open up with her friend nearby. Elizabeth used her sounds to be in the quest for the intruders but found nothing around the house. It was accustomed that they are safe for now.

'Élisabeth, Boss wanted to know about the murders at the restaurant. What happened?'

'One boy and one girl. I cannot find more but will return to the morgue in the morning when Maura and Jane come back.'

'I understand, Élisabeth. Few of us are guarding the Rizzoli and Isles family as you demand. They are safe. Anything else to know?'

'Pass a message to Boss. Send the guys to search for the killer. I think that Jane and Maura need our help. Very soon, I believe so.'

"Yes, Élisabeth.'

It ceased their connection as Elizabeth was still awake. She stuck around until the sunrise when she was able to disappear before Maura and Jane woke up in the morning. Bass kept a routine around in the house. Jane crept downstairs and searched for the coffee. Maura was in the shower. Their phones went ringing.

Jane was half-awake and scoured for her phone in the living room until she found it under the table. The cell phone beeped. The brunette detective swiped left to listen for a call. It was Lieutenant Cavanaugh.

"Rizzoli?"

"Yes, sir."

"You are having a day off. Korsak told me that you and Maura stayed at the station overnight. So, I give you and Maura the day off. I sent Korsak and Frost for getting a day off. So, don't return back to work today. Enjoy your day off. I can't reach Maura, but you don't mind if you bring it up to Maura."

"Sure, no problem. I will."

"Have a good day, Rizzoli." They hung up as Maura came in downstairs after getting a shower. Jane turned around with a grin.

"Guess what, Maur?"

"Jay, I don't guess. You know that I don't like guessing."

"Whatever. We have a day off today. Lieutenant Cavanaugh wanted me to tell you that too. Korsak and Frost have a day off too. So, yay!" Jane threw her fists in the air as she cheered. Until the phone rang in the house.
