SEASON OF THE WITCH

A CROSSING JORDAN FAN FICTION

NOTE: I do not own the wonderful characters of the NBC program "Crossing Jordan" and I'm damn sure not making any money off of them. It's owned by Tailwind Productions in association with NBC Studios.

CHAPTER ONE

JORDAN'S PROPOSAL

EST SHOT NIGHT CHOPPER SHOT OF BOSTON SKYLINE

We focus in on the Boston Coroner's Office.

CUT TO:

INT NIGHT JORDAN'S OFFICE

The lovely JORDAN CAVANAUGH is sitting at her computer alone. A clock on the wall says 2:07 am. She seems a bit depressed rather than tired.

ANOTHER ANGLE

We see Jordan's boss, GARRETT MACY enter. He looks concerned for Jordan as she just sits there not looking up.

GARRETT: You OK?

JORDAN (Still not looking up): Yeah. Just not sure I'm going to get this last case done anytime soon.

GARRETT: Jordan, go home. Get some rest. That'll still be there in the morning. (BEAT) They have something called graveyard shift now, sounds like it might actually work. (NO RESPONSE) That was supposed to be a joke.

JORDAN: Yeah. It's hard to be funny at (LOOKS AT CLOCK) Jeezus! It's after 2? How come you're still here.

GARRETT: Just trying to be a good boss, look after my employees. Besides you have a visitor.

JORDAN: Now? Who?

GARRETT says nothing but merely opens the door for....Detective WOODY HOYT. WOODY is smiling like a sonofabitch.

WOODY: Hello, Jordan.

JORDAN: (Lightening up - a lot!) Woody! What brings you here this late?

WOODY: I'd come by earlier, but I was told you were still busy. I waited....I had to go out on a call, I just got back....you were still working, even this late, so I figured, what the hey?

JORDAN: What do you mean? It's kind of late for dinner.

WOODY: Not dinner. Breakfast maybe. But that's not why I'm here. (HE HANDS JORDAN A BOX) Open it. Go ahead.

JORDAN cautiously opens the box, as though it were a live bomb.

CUT TO CU JORDAN'S POV

We see a BEAUTIFUL ENGAGEMENT RING inside the box.

ANGLE ON JORDAN

She seems pleased beyond words, near tears.

ANGLE ON WOODY. We see MACY in the background, grinning like a fool.

WOODY gets in one knee.

WOODY: Jordan Cavanaugh, will you marry me?

JORDAN: YES!

Without another break we see the two of them passionately embrace.

ANGLE ON MACY

GARRETT is still smiling as we go to the opening credits.
