The morgue was very quiet at the midnight hour and Jordan was alone. Kinda creepy, thinking that you are hearing noises all around you. Thinking that at any minute someone is going to walk in and scare the crap out of you. This is exactly what happened when Detective Woody Hoyt walked quietly through the doors. Not making a sound, he looked through all the autopsy rooms for Jordan and saw her sitting in her office. She was deep in thought with a file on her desk and another on her laptop. She didn't notice Woody staring at her through the window. He just stood there for a moment, watching… Watching her was his favorite past time. One day, he vowed silently, she would be his. He loved her with everything inside of him.
Feeling someone watching her, Jordan looked up with a start. Noticing Woody, she smiled and waved him in.
"What's up Woods?" she asked him as he stepped into her office.
"Just wanted to know where you were on the Townsend case. You know, see if you caught my killer while I was sleeping!!" He joked with her.
"Nope, I was just comparing notes with all the trace. We found that she wasn't killed in the woods. Surprise, surprise… she was placed there very carefully. I wanted to go back to the house to see if I can turn anything up there in the morning. By the way, why aren't you at home sleeping? I mean come on… if I had a choice to be here or at home, the choice would not be difficult!!"
Woody just stared at her blankly. Knowing that she was talking but unable to comprehend what was being said. He just loved listening to her.
"Woody…Woody…Hey!! Earth to Woodrow Hoyt!
"Huh?"
"I think I lost you for a minute!! Where did you go?"
"What? I am sorry Jord… I was just thinking… maybe I will go with you tomorrow."
"Cool, meet me here at 9 A.M."
"Don't you need some sleep sometime?"
"Nah, I'll be good. I want to get this guy."
"well, try to catch a nap before tomorrow… we don't want any mistakes." Woody pointed out.
"Yes, dear… I will probably be able to lay down in a minute. I just cant key down."
What she said after dear was lost to him. He knew that he had to get out of there fast or he would betray his feelings for her.
"I have to go. See you at 9" and he flew from the room.
Jordan smiled her crooked little smile and knew Woody's feelings were getting the better of him. She just wished that she could return them the way that he wanted her to.
