Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in Crossing Jordan...nor the
show...just me stories and some random personal effects.
This story takes place after Ockham's Razor and it's my first attempt to write CJ fanfiction...but review it please and help me get better!!!
Nigel is sitting in his office on the phone...desperately trying to get in touch with Jordan...its told from his P.O.V. with what I think was going through his head. Some times he is talking to himself...that's in the (...) ok?
("Where could she be?") I set the phone down on the hook and stared at it blankly. ("Where was she?") She snapped at me last night...after that print matched. I've never seen he like that-her eyes scared me the most. I couldn't get the thoughts out of my head-(What if she's in trouble? What if she's hurt? It was all my fault for running that print....if anything happens to her I) --
-knock knock- "Nigel? Hello....Earth to Nigel...you there?" Lily was standing in the doorway holding a clipboard, chewing on a pen, staring at me. "Is everything alright Nige?"
I stared up at her with a blank gaze. My eyes were watering. I was so tired...and worried. Her face fell and she walked to my desk and sat across from me.
"Nigel, what's wrong?"
"It's Jordan-I haven't heard from her all night." Lily looked confused.
"You never hear from Jordan at night...why would you need to hear from her?"
"Yesterday...she found the match to the phantom print."
"Phantom print? What are you talking about?"
"You know Love...THE phantom print. The only print that was recovered from her mother's murder scene. I told her to watch out for herself and she snapped at me. Now I haven't heard from her all night and if she's in trouble...if anything were to happen to her I don't know what I'd do with myself..." I sank down in my chair and buried my head in my hands. I needed to FIND her, make sure she's alright...(make sure she's alright...you have to find her!) I heard Lily get up and come around my desk. She tenderly placed a hand on my shoulder, then brushed my hair out of my face and looked into my eyes.
"You can't blame yourself for this Nigel-this is not your fault! Stop talking like that."
"But I...I ran the print for her...it IS my fault!"
-knock knock- "Nigel I need you to...sorry...am I interrupting something?" Garret walked into the room with a file in his hand and stopped, seeing Lily and me sitting there. "Is there something going on here that I need to know about?"
I shook my head no, Lily nodded yes. I looked at her, then at him. "Have you heard from Jordan?"
He shook his head. "No. Should I have?"
I sighed, then told him the whole thing. He sat in silence, nodding occasionally, then asked if I had filed a report about it yet. I shook my head no. "I've been trying to call her all night...but I haven't been able to get in touch with her...cell phone...home...nothing!"
Lily stared at me in shock "You've been here all night? Have you eaten anything? Have you even slept?"
"Besides blanking out into nothing, no. And I'm not hungry...I need to find her." (I need to find her now! She could be anywhere by now...call her again!)
Nigel, you should go home. I can get Bug to cover for you today. And STOP BLAMING YOURSELF."
"But...it is my fault Garret. If I hadn't run that bloody print then this wouldn't be happening."
-ring- I jumped at least a foot in my chair, then I lunged for the phone. "Hello?!" Lily and Garret looked at me anxiously. "Yes, this is Nigel...Hi Max...is Jordan ok? I listened as Max explained what had happened in shock. (Her brother? Shot at?) Garret glanced at Lily, then to me. "Thank you Max...talk to you later mate...bye." I hung up the phone and turned to face them.
Lily looked at me with that look she gets...the one where she's confused and concerned at the same time. "And...? What did Max say?"
"Jordan's alright. Well, not really but she's ok." I told them everything that Max had told me...down to the details. They stared at me shocked...Lily was about to cry, Garret just sat in stunned silence. We sat....staring off into the air...not believing what had happened. I realized that I should have never given her the results....I should have ran it and figured it out for myself...I had no reason to forgive myself for getting her hurt like I had...no reason at all. I just slumped onto my desk and laid there. A single tear rolled down my face and I wiped it away quickly. Lily touched me on the arm and told me to go home...I shook my head no and asked to be alone for a minute. Garret stood, patted me on the back, told me it wasn't my fault...then left. Lily stayed however...and I didn't mind. Somehow, she calmed me down...she made me feel safe...comfortable. Now all I had to do was talk to Jordan...to apologize for hurting her...and she wasn't coming in until tomorrow.
