Her interview with the second EMT failed to produce anything else but he also confirmed that Jason had been there.
Heading downstairs, she hoped that Maura would be able to shed some light onto the case.

“What ya got?” Jane asked as she breezed into the autopsy room.

“Bass isn’t eating again.” Maura began, “I’m worried about him Jane. I also found some brand new discontinued Jimmy Choo’s for only $400. They’re nearly impossible to find now.” She smiled warmly at her friend.

“Not the turtle Maur, the victim and where did you find Choo’s for that price?” Jane was amazed at the fact that Maura seemed to have radar for designer shoe bargains and that she actually knew who Jimmy Choo was.

“The victim died as a result of injuries sustained in a collision with a vehicle, specifically blunt force trauma to his head and a crushed torso. Someone literally ran him over. And he’s a tortoise… on eBay!”

Jane frowned. “Why is the tortoise on eBay?”

Maura looked momentarily shocked. “Bass can’t use eBay, he lacks the necessary opposable digits and his shell and musculature doesn’t allow him to sit in a chair.”

Jane giggled. “Are you sure, you never know what he does when you’re not there. Maybe he ordered a pizza!” She could almost picture turning up at Maura’s with a Chinese and a bottle of wine and finding Bass sitting in front of a baseball game, or cruising for hot female turtles on the net.

“Jane, really it’s not funny. You know he needs a strict diet to maintain the balance and health of his shell. He can’t eat pizza! And you’re being sarcastic again, aren’t you?”

Jane laughed. “Sorry Maur, but it was kinda funny.”  Maura paused, as if she were trying to picture her beloved pet using her computer.

“Well yes, I suppose so.”

“So there’s nothing weird about this death?”

Maura shook her head. “Nothing at all. He was run over; causing the injuries that pertained to his death.” 

Jane sighed. “Ok, thanks.” She headed for the door and paused. “You might just wanna check your internet history when you get in!” she tipped the ME a wink and disappeared before Maura could question her further. Laughing to herself, she pressed the elevator up button, she was glad she’d ordered pizza online the last time she’d been there.
