"Rizzoli!"

"Rizzoli!"

Her memory swam with Korsak's voice and the gun shot that followed.She squeezed her eyes shut as she watched him fall in slow motion.

Jane Rizzoli's eyes suddenly flew open in confusion, terror and shock. Gun shot?

Korsak came down the stairs to the basement gun poised, swinging it around the room until he was satisfied they were the only two in there. He raced over to her and holstered his gun. Her eyes widened and she shook her head rapidly, her warnings muffled by the tape secured across her mouth.

"It's ok Janie, I got you."

His smile warmed her heart before an icicle was stabbed straight through it by the terrible sight in front of her eyes. As he gently peeled back the tape she was only able to scream one word. "Korsak!"

Understanding flooded her chocolate eyes at the same time as vicious cold steely eyes stared at her the same expression echoed back at her. Korsak wasn't shot…that, that shot…that was real…now…here.

The deep crimson stain began to spread on the front of his chest and they both stared at it in amazement. For a moment, there was stillness and silence in the room before he let out an indescribable noise before collapsing to his knees and falling face first onto the brunette.

She couldn't see. He was on top of her. His weight pressing down on her. She felt sick. His stench invaded her senses. She began to push frantically at the body lying on top of her and felt panic seize her.

Maura turned her head stunned to see the barrel of a smoking gun attached to a tall, imposing balding man who turned and looked at her with such intensity and compassion she was utterly lost for a moment until she heard a muffled but still blood curdling scream come from the other side of the room and she began frantically pulling at her restraints to get to Jane who was trapped underneath the body of her dead husband.

"JANIE!"

Maura watched dumbfounded as an older brunette raced into the scene hysterically, not able to control her volume or actions as she pulled at Hoyt's back only to scream and whimper as she got blood on her hands. The scene was utterly ridiculous and she felt a bubble of laughter pressing against the tape that held her mouth shut. The muffled sound gained the other brunette's attention and as another man rushed in tugging at her husband's corpse. The older woman rushed over and hesitated before gently placing her hands either side of her face and gazing at her with such sincerity that Maura didn't need to question who this woman was. She had the same compassion and kindness in her dark eyes as the younger brunette.

Angela held the beautiful woman's face in her hands and just wanted to gather her up in a huge 'Mama Rizzoli bear hug' which according to her children and their friends was a well-known trademark. She grasped the end of the duct tape nervously and met hazel eyes questioningly before receiving a small tentative nod. Angela winced before taking a deep breath and ripping the tape off and gave the younger woman a scared look.

Maura let out a cry of pain as the ripping off had widened the wound on her cheek but she nodded as reassuringly as she could at the older woman "T-Thank you. I'm quite all right."

"MMMAH!"

Maura's attention snapped to the wriggling lump of Hoyt and she yanked at her restraints instinctively at Jane's voice. "Jane! Jane I'm coming! Jane you're safe!"

Angela frantically struggled with the honey blonde's restraints undoing them as fast she could and helped the petite woman off the medical bed trying not to notice the marks around her wrists and ankles.

Both women ran over to assist Rondo tugging at the heavy corpse but Maura was shaking like a leaf and Angela had resorted to screaming Jane's name hysterically. A large shadow loomed over them and the stern looking man that Maura had thought had left rounded the other side before nodding gravely at Rondo before they hauled the body freeing the younger brunette who was immediately pounced on by her mother.

Maura stood to one side a little awkwardly as she felt hot tears streaming down her face and stinging her open wound, she turned to face the two men who were looking down at the body sternly. She willed herself not to give him the satisfaction of looking at his body and instead focused on the taller and older of the two men. "Thank you erm-?" she floundered for a name but didn't get any. He simply nodded silently and smoothed his suit. She felt oddly at ease around him and opened her mouth to question him more when another body flew into the scene, wearing a cop uniform and waving a gun around haphazardly.

"Janie?!" the brunette male side stepped the body and men warily waving the gun at them and making his way to the female brunettes in a tight embrace. The older balding man went to leave and this police officer trained his gun on him. "Hey you! Stop right there!"

To Maura's surprise the older man simply nodded gravely at her once more before making his way up the stairs.

"Hey! I said freeze!" the young police officer, clearly out of his depth yelled helplessly at the man who made no move to stop. When he looked around for support and found none he looked back at the brunettes "Ma?"

The older Rizzoli enveloped both of her children in a huge embrace and the three stayed like that, each holding each other up. Maura heard approaching sirens and made her way toward the stairs before a hand reached out and enveloped her wrist. She jumped at the contact and turned to face Jane who was trying to remove her tape with her bloodied and violently shaking hand. "May I?" her hazel eyes shining with tears of relief and pain.

Jane dropped her injured hand but kept her grip on Maura's wrist, fearing if she let go something might happen. She nodded softly and squinted in preparation for the stinging pain as the tape was torn off her lips. "Ow." She muttered weakly and was rewarded with a watery beaming smile.

"Ow?" Maura echoed questioningly before laughing softly at the shrug the brunette gave her. Tears fell unchecked and she shook her head at this maddening woman who had just saved her life. She gently stepped closer and placed a soft hand on Jane's cheek before stroking her thumb across it. "Thank you." She placed a soft chaste kiss on the other cheek and felt the brunette's tears coat her face.

Jane felt her body shake and she finally gave in to it all. It was overwhelming. Her knees buckled and her entire body sagged but suddenly the shorter woman's arms were around her, steadying her, supporting her and as they stood in a warm embrace she felt their heartbeats beat in rhythm with one another and she sighed with something akin to relief. She looked down and caught sight of the demon at her feet and rage empowered her to stand up tall.

Hazel met chocolate and the sadness floating behind them she had spotted that first meeting was no longer there. Just fire.

I beat him.Maura simply nodded at her before taking her good hand and interlinking their fingers. The brunette froze as she felt a soft thumb brush against her raised scar and Maura echoed her stillness and went to pull her hand away sheepishly. Jane raised their linked hands and pressed a gentle kiss into the honey blonde's as reassurance. He's gone now. For good.


Thank you for those who stuck with me through this. I am ashamed to say I can't find the original tweet that was the prompt for this but I think it went along the lines of Jane as a secret agent or fed and Maura being married...I'm so so sorry I can't credit the Twitter follower who came up with this but PLEASE if it was you please shout and I will credit you on here and you can feel free to punish me not only have I not been able to credit you sufficiently I have also taken FOREVER to finish this damn piece.

Speaking of which this finale wasn't quite what I envisaged but I feel it's the best I have in me right now, to say it's been a struggle would be an understatement and I really can't stress just how much you mean to be for sticking around, leaving reviews, reblogging, reposting, retweeting etc etc it really does mean the absolute world to me.

I am going to do my best to stick with this writing flow I seem to be in and will be posting some new material soon but I don't know if I will be coming back to my Rizzles ladies any time soon, as much as I love writing them I want to explore some other pairings and I have some fresh ideas for those pairings BUT as always if you have any prompts etc - for this pairing or others please send them my way am always happy to consider them.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope this is a vaguely satisfying ending I know I'm not 100% happy but I currently can't get it better than this.
