”So, you know what you’re doing? Jane paced BRIC, wringing her hands she as spoke.

”It’s going to be fine.” Korsak’s large hand came to rest on her shoulder, stopping the brunette in her tracks.

Jane had been over the plan with Korsak, Frost and Angela more times than any of them could count but still, she had to be sure. It had to be perfect.

”Don’t worry Janie.” Angela hovered at her side as Jane fidgeted on the spot. ”It’s a beautiful plan.” Smiling warmly, Jane squeezed her mothers hand. ”You think so?” The nervousness in her voice pulled a smile onto the faces of everyone present, but Jane just worried at her bottom lip with her teeth.

”Maura will love it.” Angela beamed. ”She’s a lucky lady.”

”I’m the lucky one.” Jane sighed happily.

One Week Later.

Jane sat in the 5th street café and watched. People of all shapes, sizes and colours passed by the windows, some came inside, but none were the one she wanted.

On the table next to her, her cell phone burst into life.

”Rizzoli?” she growled into the device. ”OK, thanks Frost.” she hung up the phone and set it back on the table.

”Hey Vanilla!” Jane turned and was met by the grinning face of Rondo. ”You want me…” he helped himself to a seat at the table and smiled as a young man set a large drink in front of him.

”I need your help. Its something only you can do, and you know I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t have to.” Jane smiled genuinely at the man before her.

”Mmm hmmm.” Rondo’s eyes wandered over the detective and he grinned at her. ”You know I’ll do anything for you.”

Jane’s face broke into a giant grin that danced in her eyes and she got to her feet, reaching into the coat rack behind her and retrieving a tuxedo which she offered to the man before her. ”I was hoping you’d say that.”

Rondo’s face fell as Jane took her seat and began to explain.

Maura Isles sat in her office, completing her days paperwork when, next to her, there was a ’ping’ from the computer, announcing a new email.

Looking up hopefully, Maura clicked on the notification. ’Alterations to shift patterns commencing June 3rd.’ the subject read. ”Oh no.” she sighed as she scanned the rotations. Reaching for her cell phone, she pressed 2 for Jane’s speed dial and waited.
