Side Effects Chapter 5 – LOOKING FOR CLUES

That evening in the safe house, Maura tried to make time to talk with Jane, who had been sullen since her visit to Alice on Tuesday, and Maura was determined to find the cause of that mood change on her.
Maura: “okay Jane, what is troubling you?”
Jane: “me…, nothing…, why you ask?”
Maura: “I know you baby…, you’ve been troubled these past days, what’s going on?”
Jane: “I don’t feel good about Alice, she has been always nice to me, with us, I think we should be better supporters for her…, she is our friend…”
Maura: “do you want me to talk to her… because you can’t, you are in charge of the investigation, you can’t sympathize with her…”
Jane: “neither you can…, you are my wife…”
Maura: “your wife…huh…, but at least tell me, what happened in Alice’s house that day, that made you feel bad”
Jane: “we went there to take her statement, Tasha did the debriefing…, and as I have told you before, statistics show that the first suspect in a crime is the partner or any close relative of the victim, I warned Tasha about my complete confidence on Alice’s innocence, I know I shouldn’t, but yet I felt that I betrayed my friend”
Maura: “I understand…, you all were very close during your time in college, they helped you”
Jane: “yes…, they did, Alice reminded me it, on Tuesday, if it had not been for you and for them I would not have decided to go to college and study some science courses and now I would only be a traffic cop”
Maura: “nooo…, you are exaggerating, you were always smart and special baby, if you hadn’t gone to college, you would still be a good detective, maybe not a commander of a police station, but still you would have done fine…, what I really love, is that you did it for me”
Jane: (smiling) “yeah…, you remember the first time we met…”
Remembering
Around twelve years ago
It was the first week of September, Jane was a new member of the police forces assigned to patrol the traffic on campus at MIT; she had, already, some experience making the rounds at Logan airport but this is her first assignment driving a police car; on her first day everything was fine until she pulled over a driver who had parked her car on a reserved parking lot for faculty and staff because the car didn’t have the parking permit sticker on the front window, that driver was the new graduate student Maura Isles; who has just been awarded with a scholarship due to her undergraduate research and has all the expectations of her advisor who has requested authorization for a staff sticker for her, because she needed to stay in the lab for extra hours and do her teaching assistant duties in her mentor’s class; when Jane approached the young GE, she was amazed at the sight of the young officer.

Yeaah, you finally updated this incredible story proteonomics!!!
I really love it, especially the background about Maura and Jane and ofcourse about Bette and Tina.
Bette is at a difficult position, wanting to protect Tina and hiding that she is in touch with Louise. It cause fears and insecurity for Tina to the point that she is ready to let Bette go. That will break my heart ???? So make sure you are not gonna break my heart.
Thank you for the update!
Hi Bibi:
Nice to be here again and thank you very much for your comments. Yes, I know, things are getting hard for everybody, as I mentioned when I replied your comment in the former chapter, we are starting our trip on a roller coaster; the old memories are important, to understand the deep bond among the characters.
Bibi, I’m not going to break your heart, I’m a TIBETTER, but, many hard things will happen, just have faith in them.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting, and for your constant support

I’ve been out of the loop for a minute but I had time to finally get caught up on this story and I loved it! With Bette and Tina being the fan favorites it easy to want them to have a perfect relationship, but I love the stories were they show us “there human” and have ups and downs just like eveyone else! Maura and Jane I’m liking them as the story continues and I had a feeling Tasha was going to fall for Alice! Get story, Happy New Year, and looking forward to the next chapter!
Hi Skunk:
What a coincidence, I just came to read the last pages of your story and found your comment.
Yeah, I like when all those amazing fictional characters of our favorite shows, become humans as we are, as you do in your stories too.
Yup, it is coming about Tasha.
Thanks so much Skunk for reading and commenting; now, I will continue reading your story.
Happy New Year too.
