TEMPTATION

2

"Korsak I have read the other reports on the serial killing occurring in our city. This doesn't fit the profile. We will see what Maura and her people come up with" says Jane.
" Korsak I agree with Jane on this. I know you have years on us but trust us too younginngs on this one" says Barry Frost.

Maura shows up and removes some evidence and places it in the bag. She takes his body temperature.

" Dr. Isles what do you think? Is this man murdered by our recent serial killer" says Sgt. Vincent Korsak.
" Vincent I cannot give you the answers you want right now. I have to do his autopsy and my people to do the analysis on the evidence.  He died between on to four this morning" says Maura my best friend.

Jane and Barry smile.  We put him in a body bag and I tell them bye and leave in my car.

"Jane and Barry go pound on doors to see what you find. I have a lunch date with my ex wife number two and not looking forward to it", says Korsak.

We both leave and go interview anyone we can find who may know about this man's death. Barry and I didn't come up with many leads. We did get a hold of cctv footage from a nearby business. We head back to the precinct and take th3 evidence to have it filed in the evidence room. We than leave to the Dirty Robber to have lunch with Maura. Maura already has her ice tea and is sipping on it when we seat down.

"Maura any news for us yet" says Jane.
" Not yet I ordered myself a salad."

Jane and Barry ordered two beers and hamburger with fries. I had asked Angela not to bring my salad until all of our food is ready to eat.
" Maura a salad isn't enough to eat. It's rabbit food." " Jane yes rabbit food but so healthy than what you two are eating."

We finished our lunch and pay our bill. We all leave my mother a tip and leave.

" Frost I am going to go downstairs while you can work on reviewing the video."

Jane comes downstairs with me to my lab and says hello to Christina.

" Dr. Isles I tested and retested to make sure. I already spoke with Sgt. Korsak this isn't the serial killer.  I emailed you my findings. I am going to my medical appointment and will be back tomorrow
Bye Jane."

Jane and I tell her goodbye.

"I knew Frost and I were correct and Korsak was wrong."
"Jane don't go gloating. "
" Me never."
" Hmmm" says Maura.

I leave to go back upstairs and start reviewing the video with Korsak and Barry. Barry and I don't gloat about our opinion on the serial killer.

"Frost go back and zoom on the face" says Korsak.

Barry does and has the video go slow. Korsak tells Barry to print the photo out.

Barry stops the video and I tape the photo to the white board. Korsak adds more to the board. The three of us look for more clues and eliminate certain people and focus on the lady. We all recognize her from the FBI  most wanted.  We go through the evidence that Christine worked on and head out again.

I am finished with the autopsy and forward my report to Captain Cavanagh and the three others.  I head out to my meeting with other coroner's I oversee.

Korsak, Frost and I go to the restaurant we know she frequents. We ordered us some coffee and a dessert and wait to see if she shows up.  She never shows up so we leave back to the precinct. 

"We will go there tomorrow and do surveillance, says Korsak."

The day is over with so we all leave. I go downstairs and wait for Maura to finish with her phone call. She is definitely ticked about whomever she was talking too. She slams the phone down.

" Maura whats wrong?" " Just a hard  headed coroner who thinks he doesn't have to follow protocol. I hate parts of my job. He didn't like my write up on him. Even though he deserved it. I am ready . I figured we go to the mall. I know you want reasonable attire."

We leave. I follow Maura to drop her Toyota prius e car home. We both go inside to use the restroom and Maura to take a quick shower.  We finally made it to the mall. Maura and I differ on the style if clothes and shoes to buy. It's nothing new. I buy a few outfits which she did like. I compromised.  We left in my jeep to her home.  She is going to make us dinner. She asks me to spend the night.  I tell her not a problem.  I take one bag  to her bedroom and my bag I had with my pajamas and toiletries.  I hang up my work clothes and head to take a nice shower.

Jane is taking a shower while I making some chicken, a side salad with risotto and she will have a beer. I will have another glass of wine.

" All clean and comfortable and it smells delicious. "
" Jane you look relaxed now and smell good." " Maura I used your shampoo.  I forgot mine. I like the smell of it. " " Jane not a problem as long as you put the cap back on it." " I did and I will set the table."

Maura brings the bowls and plate with food to eat. We talk about today's case. We hear my mother enter her home to the back.

"Smells good. I am going out. Jane are you staying the night?" " Yes MA and who you going with?"
" It's someone I met. Bye and behave."
"Maura do you know who it is?" " Jane she lives in my guest house. I  am not her babysitter. She is a grown woman."

Jane just looks at me and not satisfied with my answer. I know she is seeing Cavanagh but won't tell Jane as her mother asked to wait for her to tell her three kids. We finished our meal. Jane helps me clean up. I go to my bedroom to remove my contacts and makeup.  Jane is already in bed when I come out nude getting in bed.  I know this bothers her. This is my home and I do what I like.  Jane turns around and just rolls her eyes. We talk a little bit and fall asleep.
