“We went to Doctor Isles’ first…” Frost was still explaining himself as she searched.

‘Maura.’ Jane thought. The only thing she hadn’t checked was from Maura.

Pushing past Frost, she opened the hall closet and stepped inside, reaching up into the shelf for the box Maura had given her for her birthday. When she couldn’t reach it, she tried tip toeing, hoping it had somehow been pushed to the back of the shelf. When she still couldn’t see anything, she jumped up and down in place. It was gone.

“That’s what he took?” Jane sat in the middle of the hall floor. “It doesn’t make any sense.”

Frost was at her side immediately, with Frankie and Korsak studying her from the living room. “What’s missing Jane?” Frost asked softly, he reached out to touch her shoulder and pulled his hand back before he made contact.

“A holster.” Jane’s mind ran with questions. ‘Why take a holster, it didn’t’ have a gun in it?’ “Maura got me a new holster for my birthday.” She told him. “That’s what Hoyt has taken.

The detectives frowned. It made even less sense to them than it did to Jane.

The shrill ring of Korsak’s phone broke the silence and he answered roughly.

“Korsak.” He listened patiently, his eyes flicking to Jane as he did so. “Ok, we’ll be right there.” He turned his attention to Frost. “We need to go. Now!” Everyone stared at him, waiting for an explanation.

“Frankie, take Jane to your place.” He barked as he headed from the room. “And don’t let anyone near her. And I do mean anyone! Unless they’re currently in this room, they don’t get close. You understand?”

Frankie backed away slowly; the tone and posture of the older detective send an icy shiver through the young cop. Something big was happening and it had scared him.

Frost trailed after Korsak and jumped in the car as he was pulling away.

“Damn Korsak, what the hell is going on?”

Korsak drove determinedly, he couldn’t believe what he had heard but he had no choice but to check it out.

“Korsak!” Frost almost shouted.

“That hair we found on the cup?” he said slowly. “The one left at Jane’s apartment that we had checked?” Frost nodded. They’d sent the cup to the lab even though they were certain nothing would be found. It was the shock of their lives when the lab called to say they’d found a very small hair on the bottom. “Well the results came back on it.” Korsak continued, shaking his head in disbelief.
