Author's Note: This is just a threeshot to get myself back into writing. Don't even ask where this came from but I hope it makes you laugh. xD Thank you to the girlfriend for helping me with some things. Also I got lazy and did not proof-read so any mistakes are my own.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

This was not happening, this was so not happening. Nope, obviously she had fallen on her head because this—this was physically impossible. This was not fucking possible at all. Jane stared at her reflection in a broken shard of glass; the same dark brown eyes stared back at her, only she wasn't standing on two legs and her dark brown curls weren't getting in her face. Instead what stared back at her was a slender black muzzle and pointed ears.

She looked down to see a large set of black paws. Nope, no, this—this wasn't real. Jane turned to where she had woken up, her clothes in a pile. "Jane!?" Jane's head swiveled in the direction of her partner's voice.

Shit. What the fuck was she supposed to do? She wasn't even sure if this was real or not, still. If they saw her clothes and her badge and gun lying there, they'd think the worst. Jane let out a frustrated growl, startling herself because it was an actual loud growl that came from the back of her throat. She moved to sit next to her things and only hoped for the best. Maybe she'd wake up soon to find out that this was all just a fucked up dream.

Frost rounded the corner down the alley way to come face to face with a large, pitch black German Shepherd. She had one patch of white on her chest and calm yet dark brown eyes. Frost stopped dead in his tracks, unsure if the dog was friendly or not. "Korsak!" The young detective called behind him, his eyes never leaving the tall dog.

Korsak came up behind Frost to see him staring uneasily at a dog. "What's the matter, Frost? Scared of a little dog?" He smirked, holstering his gun.

Frost looked over incredulously. "Small? That thing is huge!" He waved a hand toward the dog, shaking his head as Korsak approached slowly.

"Aww, she's not gonna hurt anyone, are you, Margo Lane?" Korsak put his hand out toward the dog but she did nothing but sit stock still.

Margo Lane? Really? Jane thought with a sigh. She looked down at the clothes and back at Korsak. "Come on old man, if you're really good with animals and you're a good detective, you'd realize that something isn't right!" Jane said, though it came out a series of low barks and growls.

"Careful, Korsak!" Frost warned from behind him.

Korsak brushed him off as he stared 'Margo Lane' in the eyes and then looked down at Jane's clothes. "Shit," He breathed out, picking up Jane's blazer to see her gun and badge underneath. He looked back at the dog whom barked once and pawed at the pile of clothes. "These are Jane's clothes. All her stuff is here. Call CSI, have 'em dust for prints." Korsak said gruffly as he stood, looking at Frost with an unreadable expression.

Frost nodded, and looked more worried now that he realized Jane was missing. The younger detective holstered his gun and pulled out his cell, relaying the information to dispatch.

Korsak loosened his tie and took it off before making a noose and reaching out to slip it around the dog's neck. Jane growled and stood up suddenly, fangs gleaming in the sunlight. "You're not putting that fucking thing around my neck!" She snarled, but Korsak didn't seem perturbed.

"C'mon, Margo. It's alright. I'll take you somewhere safe." He said, slipping the tie around Jane's neck and tugging gently as he stood up. Jane was reluctant at first, barking and growling and shaking her head before she finally complied when familiar scents started to assault her nose. Korsak lead the large German Shepherd out of the alley way and they were greeted by Frankie and Maura.

Jane pulled hard at the 'leash' as the two came into view, muscles straining as she jerked Korsak forward. "Whoa, Margo Lane, calm down!" He said as he stumbled slightly. His gaze landed on Maura and Frankie and both looked worried. "Doc, what're you doin' here? There's no body…" He said, looking grim.

Frankie looked a little sheepish. "I called her. I heard dispatch…Where's Janie?" He rushed out.

Korsak looked uncomfortable as he rubbed the sweat from his brow with the back of his free hand. "Dunno. We found her clothes and everything in that ally way. We had been chasing the perp and Jane followed him into the ally and when Frost and I got there, all that was there were her clothes and Margo Lane."

Frankie and Maura both looked pale at the news. It was Maura who spoke first having registered everything quicker than Frankie. "Margo Lane?" She asked with a furrowed brow.

Korsak nodded down to the large black dog attached to his tie. "The dog. She was just standing over the clothes." He said, puzzled.

Meanwhile, Jane was trying to think of a way to get their attention. She stared up at all of them before she finally decided that she was going home with Maura. Maybe she'd see through this… Or maybe she'd finally wake up from this nightmare. Standing up, Jane moved toward Maura's side and sat down beside her, letting out a bark to get everyone's attention.

Everyone looked down and Korsak smiled. "Margo Lane seems to like you, Doc." He said lightly.

Maura looked down into strikingly familiar brown eyes and reached down to gently run her fingers over the dog's head. "She's a beautiful dog. Looks like she's pure bred German Shepherd. She has to belong to someone."

Jane leaned into Maura's touch and sighed, relaxing slightly.

Korsak nodded. "Probably. I was gonna take her to my house until I get the time to figure out where she belongs. But maybe you could take her, doc? I need to talk with CSI and we've gotta find Jane." The last part was said with conviction.

Maura bit her lip lightly and looked down at the dog who looked back up at her seeming to be almost pleading with her. Those eyes… Finally she sighed and nodded. "Alright, but I can't keep her for long." She said, taking the makeshift leash from Korsak's hand.

"Thanks, Doc. I promise we'll keep you appraised." His attention turned to Frankie who had been watching people work. "Frankie, why don't you get a few beats and do some canvassing, ask people if they've seen anything suspicious." He said, knowing that Frankie wouldn't be able to just sit around.

He nodded once to Korsak and then to Maura, a determined look on his face before he hurried off.

Maura sighed and looked down but back up as she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Korsak gave her a reassuring smile as he spoke, "We'll find her Maura. You go on home. I'll call you with any news." He promised.

"Thank you Vince." She smiled back but it didn't reach her eyes before turning and tugging gently on the leash. "Come on, Margo." She looked down at the dog as Margo stood and followed at her side without hesitation.

Maura opened the back door of her car and Jane or 'Margo', immediately hopped into the back without prompt.

Korsak watched on in amazement. The dog had resisted him but she seemed to follow Maura around with so much trust. He watched the blue Prius take off before he set about helping with the search for Jane.
