“Yeah, yeah, Frost, can you escort them down to the
conference room?  If you need anything at
all, just let one of us know and we’ll try to oblige.” If Jane was surprised at
his abrupt change in tone it didn’t show.

“Well Detective, we’re going to need you to sit down with us
in a few minutes so that we can get a better feel for the direction of this
investigation.  Also, if you would, could
you invite Dr Isles as well?  We’d like
her insight as to the manner of death”

Surprise was clearly evident on her face now as he included
Maura so easily into the meeting.
“Certainly, give us fifteen minutes.”

Jane watched them walk away smiling at the two women in the
group.  She saw the protective way the
dark haired agent walked beside the blonde liaison.  Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

“They want me there?”
Maura looked up from the computer screen.  She was running her own analysis on some
fibers she had been able to obtain from the newest victim.

“I’m really busy Jane…”

“Come on babe, it shouldn’t take to long.” Between the sound
of Jane’s voice and her calling her babe, Maura knew she couldn’t say no.

“Fine,” taking off her lab coat, she took Jane’s
outstretched hand and followed her girlfriend to the elevator.  “So, BAU, Behavioral Analysis Unit, I met
someone from that unit before, a David Rossi?”

“He’s here.”  Jane
matter of fact answer piqued Maura’s interest.

“You really don’t want them here do you?  Agent Rossi is quite an expert on serial
killers you know.”

“No I didn’t know…” her sarcastic tone directed at Maura,
“Damn I’m sorry Maur I just don’t like being forced to do something I don’t
want to do.”

“But Jane, if they can help?”

“I know, and I’m sure they can…I just…I feel like a fifth
wheel now, you know, like I can’t take care of it myself.”

Taking Jane’s hands in hers, Maura kissed the back of each
hand. “You’re not a fifth wheel, you’re the best homicide detective in Boston,
go show them that.”

So, not the best
first chapter, but hopefully not the worst.
