Alone with you Chapter 1

Hello Ladies, Just a quick update…

I haven't given up on The Graveyard Shift, I just lost my muse for the story…But I am desperately trying to find it because I want to finish it but I want to give it a proper conclusion. I just don't want to write a chapter and the end, it deserves so much more than that. I started writing it during a negative time in my life and since then my life has turned completely around…hence the losing of the muse. I will complete it, I just don't know when, I am slowly but surely working on the next chapter. I am trying a shorter one to find my creative flow again. I heard this song and it has stuck with me. As in, I listen to this song repeatedly. Every time I hear it, this story in my head appears and I can't seem to let it go. So I am giving this a chance because I honestly do enjoy writing, I just have to find it in me again.

Enjoy

Maura Isles is the Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She sits on the Board of the Isles Foundation. She gives lectures to her peers and to college classes. She writes for the New England Journal of Medicine and she is very well established within her social circle.

She currently works alongside Boston's finest Homicide division. They have one of the highest closure ratings in all of the precincts in the country. They work together like a well-oiled machine…but that's it. When the metaphorical time card gets punched, they go their separate ways. Well she goes one way and Korsak, Frost and Jane go another. It didn't really bother her that the crime fighting trio didn't include her in their extra-curricular activities, they were just on different paths. It's not like Korsak never offered but the timing was just never right. She does stay pretty busy between her job, the foundation and her inner circle of friends; so that doesn't leave her a lot of extra anything. If she had enough notice, then she could make arrangements but they never provided her that pleasure. So for the last six months, this was her life at the Boston Police Department. It's not like she doesn't want to do something with the trio, she likes them on a work level. They have this camaraderie between them like they can read each other's minds. They will finish each other's sentences or thought process. She can appreciate that, even if there is no scientific proof as to why people are able to accomplish that.

She has thought of each of them on separate occasions.

They seem like they are a very close knit family. Korsak is like the father figure to Frost and Jane and Maura too for that matter. He guides them, he listens to them, he observes them, he protects them, and he even scolds them from time to time. He is a very insightful man who just happens to love the occasional pet video; she truly enjoys working with him.

Frost she imagines is like the younger brother. She knows he is smart and very well versed in the Information Technology computer department. He can seem to access any information that they may need to advance their cases. She has often wondered if it was all within the legal realm. She can tell he also has a mischievous side to him; the prankster if you will. She can totally see him putting a whoopee cushion on your chair or the bucket of water over the door to drench you on cue or filling your hand with shaving cream while you sleep only to tickle your face so you scratch yourself as you wake up covered in the white foam. Then there's the protective side of him. She has seen him be very protective of Jane on several occasions, even though Jane can clearly defend herself.

Which leaves Jane in this trio, Jane is in a category all of her own. She is tall, lean, toned and very athletic. Maura's seen Jane run after a three hundred pound man and tackle him like he's a skinny twelve year old who has never touched their spinach. She doesn't really know much about her personal life. Jane has never let her in nor alluded to it. She has never seen her really laugh; she doesn't know any of her friends. She doesn't know what she does for fun outside of work. She really doesn't know anything about the brunette; Jane really doesn't give Maura the time of day outside the case load.

So why is Jane the one she wants?

I know it's short but I'm setting it up. The song is Alone with you by Jake Owen, it's a country song and this is the first set of lyrics from the song, give it a shot…you might like it. And I own absolutely nothing (the song, the story, the characters, etc.) but the computer I am writing this on.

So I hope you enjoy this. If you do let me know, if you don't I'm sorry…but you can let me know that also.

Thank you for reading.
