"What's this new Doc's name again?" Frost didn't speak to anyone in particular but looked toward Korsak for the answer anyway.

"Dr..." he fumbled at the newsletter on his desk. "Here we are!" he smirked triumphantly, Frost just raised his eyebrows. "Dr Maura Isles"

"Ugh" was heard from Jane's direction, "Even her name sounds snobby. I mean Maura! For real, who has a name like Maura? I'm Maura" she stuck her nose in the air and put on a fake and also terrible British accent. "I drink only Lady Earl Grey tea." She heard giggles coming Frost's desk which only encouraged her "I ride my stallion Princeton to work every morning" with that last comment Frost had fallen into a full on laughing fit and even Korsak had let out a chuckle.

"Come on Jane I'm sure she'll be very nice." Korsak wiggled his eyebrows in her direction.

Jane scoffed, then laughed and threw a paper ball at him "You would say that you old perve"

The detective opened her mouth to say something else when she was interrupted by the Lieutenant beginning to speak "Listen up everyone" silence quickly swallowed the room and Jane snapped her head towards the voice.

"I want you all to meet our new Chief Medical Examiner, Doctor Maura Isles" he motioned to the woman standing next to him. She was dressed elegantly in a pencil skirt and a tucked in blouse which showed a hint of cleavage. Her golden hair was in soft waves past her shoulders and framed the pale skin of her face perfectly. A nervous smile danced on her features as Jane accidently met her eyes.

"Wow" she heard Frost whisper which made her drop her gaze from the intriguing doctor.

"I expect you all to treat Dr Isles with respect and view her as one of the team. Are we understood?" he shoots a glare at Rizzoli knowing full well she was most reluctant about the position of medical examiner being given to someone form out of state.

"Yes sir" the muffled response of all the detectives came.

"Would you like to say anything?" he asks the blonde woman on his left quietly, who nods and delicately forward.

"I just wanted to tell you that it will be an honour to work alongside all of you."Many of the detectives had begun to switch off which hadn't gone unnoticed by Maura. On the other side of the room Jane couldn't help but notice the nervous quiver in the doctor's voice. Obviously she wasn't used to talking to crowds. "If any of you need anything my door is always open." Maura finished with a hurry.

Once Maura had been escorted by Cavanaugh to the morgue the bets started to be placed.

"First one to sleep with the hot Doc gets free donuts for a month"

"Oooo I'm in on that one!"

"Wouldn't need to bribe me with donuts to tap that."

Jane could feel the anger boiling up inside her. She'd been where the new doctor was before – it was difficult to make it in this field when you're a woman.

Before her brain could catch up she heard her voice saying "Just shut up!" she sounded even angrier than she was expecting. "That woman is not a piece of meat to be auctioned off she is a lady who must be damn talented to that job so y'all need to treat her with a little respect!"

She rose quickly nearly knocking the coffee out of a startled uniform's hands.

"Looks like Rizzoli's got a new crush" Jane heard Crowe sneer but she simply shoved his shoulder as she walked on by.

Meanwhile in her office Maura too was shaking, but not from anger.

"Agoraphobia" she muttered to herself. "2.2% of adults in the US suffer from it. Your fine." This was her mantra when she found it tough; it helped her feel less alone. It was with strangers she found herself getting most nervous. Strangers would judge her, and then tease her before finally making her feel lonelier than before. She did know one thing that would calm her down so swiftly pulled out her phone and dialled the number.

"Hello Annikah, is Holly there?" Maura tapped her foot listening to the reply.

"Could you put him on for me... Hey little girl!" her tone instantly softened when the phone was passed to who she actually had called to talk to.

"Are you being a good girl for Annikah?"

"You made cupcakes... wow! Aren't you a clever girl?" Maura could feel the anxiety lifting off her shoulders.

"Mommy is so proud of you sweetheart" in the distance Maura could hear footsteps, and knew her phone call would have to end soon – it is very unprofessional to be caught making personal phone calls on the first day.

"Baby I might be a little late home tonight. I'm sorry. Please don't wait up for me you know it makes you grumpy in the mornings" She listened closely to the young girls response before smiling.

"I love you too honey. Bye-bye"

She hung up the phone and only a few seconds later heard a knock at the door.
