We all know that Jordan had a troubled past. This fic is my take on what would happen should an ex-boyfriend appear at the morgue to remind her of her past. In terms of timeline it is set in season one-ish, soon after Jordan returns to Boston. I don't own anything to do with crossing Jordan yada yada. Scott is a purely fictional character from my brain.
"Hey Jordan!" Lily piped up as Jordan passed her desk heading for her own office, a bundle of manila folders containing hour's worth of paperwork in her arms.
"Oh hey Lil, hows it going?" Jordan replied turning back to Lily and using her desk to prop up the edge of her folders, taking the weight off her now aching arms.
"Mmm, Fine… for a Monday morning"
"Yeh man, totally know what you mean!" Jordan said with nod and a knowing smile. " Anyway Lil" she added quickly. "I'll catch up with you later 'k? I've got a tonne of paperwork I gotta do before Garret gets in. He's been on me all week to get it done, but you know... last minute me hey!" She continued giving a little half smile and shrugging her shoulders before turning to walk away.
"Ohh Sorry Jordan I didn't realise..." Lily said reproachfully
Jordan turned back to face Lily shifting weight of the load in her arms to balance on her hip. "That's ok dude.. I didn't expect you to…?" She tilted her head, and furrowed her brow in confusion, "Wait…What?.. I'm confused…"
"Oh!" Lily chuckled. "No. Um I mean, well I guess Garret is going to have to wait one more day for your paper work. A man came in to see you this morning; I told him to go wait for you in your office... Sorry Jordan. He said he was a friend."
"Oh" Was all Jordan could respond with as she wondered who it could be waiting for her in her office. Someone Lily doesn't know, that really had her stumped, Jordan didn't have many friends outside the office, and those she did have Lily certainly knew…
"Sorry Jordan." Lily's voice cut into her thoughts.
"No man, that's fine. Totally cool. What's one more day? And if Garret has himself an aneurysm about it, well… he's in the right place!" Jordan paused a second to laugh before continuing, "But no seriously... this guy in my office, he'd better be hot."
Lily frowned a little in confusion as Jordan looked down at her feet trying to explain herself.
"You know if I'm gonna get in trouble 'cos of him and all, he'd better at least be pretty to look at!" She looked up at Lily with a half smile.
"Actually…" Lilly replied taking Jordan by the elbow and leading her to her office and pointing at the sandy haired man sitting on her couch through the window, "he is!" She giggled and grinned over at Jordan.
"Fuuuuck." Jordan let out under her breath as she turned away from the window and ran a hand through her hair. The colour drained from her face and her body was visibly tense.
"Jordan? What? What is it?" Lily asked in alarm.
Jordan's face was full of anxiety, she clenched her jaw and seemed to zone out, lost in her own thoughts.
"Jordan… are you ok?" Lily said softly reaching out to touch her arm.
This seemed to snap Jordan out of it with a sharp intake of breath she looked up at Lily.
"Yeh. I'm fine." She said before turning her gaze back towards the sandy haired man currently occupying her office.
"Just my past catching up with me that's all."
