Gone(rizzoli And Isles)

chapter 7

When Sean Cavenaugh got a call from the BPD division on the Southside, he did not know what to expect, but what he heard surprised him more than he could have imagined. Jane Rizzoli is alive and in custody.

Cavenaugh called Korsak, Frost, Frankie, Dr. Isles and Angela all into his office. Not typical protocol but considering how close this bunch was, it would be fine.

"I called you all here to give you some good and bad news. I got a call from the BPD division in Southside and they have found Jane."

When those words came out, Maura and Angela both started to tear up. They knew that it was a body. Even the guys seemed to tear up at that news.

"She is alive."

Sighs of relief, sobs of joy were the sounds you could hear in the office.

"That's the good news. She was arrested earlier today coming out of Lorenzo's. There was an anonymous call that she did not pay for her meal. A uniform responded, saw her, went to question her and she ended up breaking his nose. They also found what they believe to be heroin on her person. Detective Barnes said that she is bad off right now. She is going through withdrawals and it is getting worse."

"Lieutenant, that does not make sense. Jane would never do drugs, she hated drugs." Maura said.

"I know Dr. Isles. I think there is more to it than meets the eyes. Jane is being charged with Felony Battery on a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest and Possession of a Controlled Substance. She will be first appeared in about an hour and a bond will be set. We need to talk to her if we can to see if she can tell us what happened. Dr. Isles I want you to go with Frost and Korsak because I think Jane will need to be evaluated for possible hospitalization from what I hear because of her withdrawal."

"OK, Lieutenant. I will be glad to go." Maura said.

"Oh thank you Lord for bringing my baby home," Angela said. She looked at Maura, "you go and take care of Jane. Remember how you feel for her. Don't forget it because you know how Jane can be. She can be stubborn. Please, help her Maura."

"Angela, I will do everything I can to help her."

As Frost, Korsak and Dr. Isles walked into the Southside division they were greeted by Detective Barnes.

"Detectives, Doctor. Glad we found Detective Rizzoli, but she is in a bad way right now."

"Detective Barnes, could I please see her so I can assess her for what we may need to do?" Maura asked.

"Sure Dr. Isles. Officer Valen will escort you to the holding cell."

As they approached the cell, the officer said, "Here she is. God I really feel for her. Had a brother got hooked on that stuff. She's got a long road ahead of her if she can kick it.

As the officer opened the door, Maura could smell the odor of vomit. As she looked down at the mattress on the floor, she saw Jane curled up in to the fetal position shaking severely. There was vomit in the corner and Jane was wringing wet with sweat. Maura almost broke down and cried right there. This broken human barely looked like the Jane Rizzoli she knew. Jane had lost about 30 pounds, which she did not need to lose, her eyes were sunken in her head and her hair was rattier than ever before.

Maura went over to Jane and reached down to touch her arm. As she touched her, Jane jerked around and scrambled into the corner yelling, "Get away from me, stay the hell away from me."

Maura was initially shocked at first because the tone was so hateful and not like Jane, but then she realized that she is not dealing with Jane, but an addict and that behavior is typical. "Jane, honey, it's me, Maura. I've come to check on you and see if there is anything I can do to help."

Jane stared at Maura with vacant dark eyes. Maura was waiting for some sign that Jane recognized her, but so far none. Jane said bitterly, "If you want to help me you will fucking get me a hit now. I will be glad to carry on a conversation when I don't feel like my body is falling apart. Oh and the spiders, stop the spiders. They are crawling on me and I can't get them to stop."

Maura looked at Jane's arms and saw that they were bloody from clawing at them. Maura had seen all she needed to see. Jane had to be hospitalized immediately so they can help her through withdrawals medically.

"Officer, she needs to be hospitalized. I need you to release her to Mass Gen so she can get some immediate help." Maura said.

"I can't release her until she is first appeared. Judge White should be ready to do it in a few minutes."

Maura and the officer headed back to where Korsak, Frost and Detective Barnes were.

"Detective Barnes, Jane needs to be hospitalized now. She is starting to hallucinate and we need to get her medical attention to help her body, but the officer said they won't release her till she is first appeared. Can we rush that?" Maura asked.

"Let me make a call," Detective Barnes said as he took out his cell.

"OK, Judge White is in and we can do her first appearance via video. Officer Valen, get Detective Rizzoli and take her to the video conference room."

Everyone headed to the video conference room. As Jane was coming toward the room, Frost and Korsak inhaled sharply as they saw their partner, or the broken shell of their partner. "Dear God," Korsak said quietly, "she looks awful." Frost could not even speak.

Jane looked up briefly as she walked in to the conference room. Her eyes were vacant. She knew Frost and Korsak but she did not have the energy to speak to them. She glanced briefly at Maura. God she was gorgeous. Jane was shocked that Maura was even there. Last she knew of Maura, Maura did not want to even speak to Jane, let alone be around her. But of course she comes here and sees Jane in this weak, broken condition. Just that thought made Jane angry, wild rage was growing in her. She yelled, "Get her out of here. Get her away from me and make them leave too (referring to Frost and Korsak). I don't want them around me."

"Jane, please, we just want to help you," Maura said.

Jane was starting to fight with the officer. She was trying to get loose from the officer and restraints so she could get up in Maura's face. "I said I want them the fuck out of here." Jane was screaming and thrashing around.

"Officer," Detective Barnes said, "get her in the conference room now and shut the door. Detectives, Doctor, let me step in for the video conference and I will come back out and let you know what is going on."

Maura was starting to tear up again. God, what did they do to you my friend? Jane was acting like a mad woman, which is typical with an addict in withdrawal. This was going to be a long road with Jane, but Maura made a promise to Angela, and Maura knew deep down that she in fact did love Jane Rizzoli and she had lost her once, but she was given a second chance to move forward with a relationship with Jane.

"Oh my God." Frost said, "That was not my partner. That was a mad person. Are we going to be able to get her back, back to the Jane Rizzoli we know and love?"

"I don't know Frost. Drug addiction can cause physical but also psychological damage. I hope that we can get her to the hospital in a few minutes and not leave her in withdrawals without giving her the help she needs to cope. That will help with her psychological well being and also her physical well being." Maura replied.

"Man, she looked like she has lost at least 20 to 30 pounds. She looks horrible." Korsak said.

Detective Barnes came out of the conference room. "That did not go well. She would not respond and when she did, she cursed the Judge. I told him what was going on, but because of the nature or the charges and her obvious agitation and aggression plus the fact she is a cop, the Judge set the bond at $100,000.00 cash."
