false awakening

So here it continues...

Part Six

I couldn't tell you how much time had passed. Not exactly. I just knew that I was up and walking around. True it was with the help of crutches, but hey, at least I was moving. It had been hard not to run in the race that both Jane and Maura were running in, but a week in the hospital, and a severely damaged leg had kept me busy. Between therapy three times a week, and the longer hours I was putting in at the office, I was not even going to make it to cheer them on.

I was surprised when I received a phone call from Maura late in the afternoon. My mind wondered if they had already finished the race. "So, get good times?" I asked her. "No actually. There were two murders and we wont be finishing until late tonight. I won't tell Jane if you come down here." I replied that I would see what I could do. 'Man, it must have been one hell of a race.' I thought to myself.

It wasn't to long before I found myself standing, mostly, slightly away from Jane's mother and father. I watched as both Jane and Maura ran up and crossed what appeared to be police tape. The two of them cheered and hugged each other. I whistled and clapped my hands together, making sure I was steady on my feet. All of them looked over to me. Jane ran over and I rebalanced myself. She rubbed my torso in an intimate action. :Hey, I thought you couldn't make it." "Hey," I wanted to kiss her. "I thought it would be day when you finished." She flashed a smile at me.

-Note: Maura's POV.-

"Who is that?" Jane's mom asked. "That's our friend, Allison." Maura replied. "Oh, that gay chick that Jane saved?" Jane's dad asked. "Well I wouldn't say she saved her, but she did find Allison's rapist." Maura explained. "Well I don't like her." "That's not a nice thing to say Frank." Jane's mom started in.

"Is Jane dating her?" he asked Maura. "I really should walk around, I don't want to get cramps." Maura excused herself from the situation.

-Note: My POV.-

Jane was close to me. She whispered something in my ear and I laughed a little. I hobbled over to where her parents were. "Look, you guys must be tired. Why don't we go out to dinner. I'll pay." I asked. They agreed and I grabbed my cell phone. "Bring the car around." A limo came to pick us up. We then went to a restaurant and ate some food, talked a little. The entire time I felt like I was being scrutinized by the father. I paid the bill like I said I would and dropped Jane's mother and father off at their house. I told my driver that he should also take Dr. Isles home. I asked Jane where she wanted to go. "I want to go home," she said.

We headed toward Maura's house, but before we could reach there both her and Jane had fallen asleep. Maura had fallen asleep on the chair, and Jane on my shoulder. I brushed a hair out of her face and she reached up and cuddled with me. I was in heaven.

Part Seven

I was in China. A meeting in China to be exact. My leg had mostly healed, Jane and I had been dating for a little while. I made her a care package before I left. Set her up with a web cam so that we could talk while I was on the other side of the world from her. The metting we going well. I had asked the Chinese government for permission to take photos of Hong Kong for a game we wanted to make. They told me anywhere but Hong Kong. Though it was odd I agreed to the terms and they stepped out of the room to discuss the rest of the details.

My computer chirped. I walked over to it. A small notification told me it was Jane.

Note: For some strange reason I became lucid..."

I was going to say hi when I heard her scream. I stepped out of the visual range of my own web cam and watched as a horrific scene played out. One guy grabbed her from behind. She kicked and screamed, and even bit the guy's hand. He threw her to the floor. Another guy pressed his knee painfully into her back. The first guy turned around and must have seen the light on the camera. He picked it up and dropped it on the floor. The camera rolled and aligned perfectly with Jane's face. I could see the fear in her eyes. She mouthed something to me, I think it was no, and then the camera was smashed. Static played across my screen and I quickly typed in a command that made the video chat save.

I pulled my cell phone out. I was going to call Korsak, or Frost, or Maura. I had to call someone... anyone. My financial adviser looked at me. I could just teleport there and kick someone's ass. I shut my phone and the world faded to black.
