Turning around, Morgan watched as the EMT’s worked on
Rizzoli, she didn’t look too good.

The EMT’s working on Jane were seriously concerned.  Her blood pressure and respiratory rate were
very low, and the blood at the corner of her mouth indicated that there was
internal bleeding.

Maura wanted to go to her but Reid was holding on to
her.  “Let them work” he said quietly.

Reid liked this quirky woman, in the short time that he had
known her he felt like he had found a kindred spirit and it had hurt him to see
her so devastated by Jane’s disappearance.
Now, he didn’t know what else he could do for her except be there.  He knew JJ was in good hands with Emily and
Derek; Frost had been with Maura but walked away when he realized Reid would be
there for her.

Frost couldn’t take seeing his partner like that and
motioned to Morgan go outside with him to join the officers trying to follow
Rodriguez’ trail.  He could hear one of
the dogs from the K-9 unit as he stepped outside from the exit Rodriguez
used.  “What a cluster” he thought.

With oxygen forcing its way into Jane’s lungs, she felt hands
on her body; every touch causing her intense pain and she couldn’t understand
why they wouldn’t stop.  Jane tried to
raise her hand to stop them but her arm wasn’t listening.  She tried to say something but the only sound
that came out was a groan.  The emergency
techs looked at one another, “Detective, can you hear me? Can you open your
eyes?” He finished connected the leads to the heart monitor and watched as
piercing dark eyes stared back at him.

“Hu..hurts…” her voice was a hoarse whisper and Maura
immediately dropped down beside her.

“Jane…Jane honey I’m here…” stroking her forehead the relief
that filled Maura at seeing those beautiful eyes was overwhelming.

“Hey…Maur…” she tried a small smile when her body was racked
by coughing.  Rolling her slightly to her
side Maura was horrified at the crimson stain that appeared on the front of her
dress. The monitor fluctuated ominously before leveling out again.

“Oh my God,” she said.
Looking at the EMT’s she saw the urgency in their eyes, “Jane…look… at me
Jane, they need to move you now okay…” she knew the tears were spilling down
her face but she couldn’t help it.  She
knew the damage that had likely been done.
