I don't own Crossing Jordan or any of the characters.


Their relationship hasn't been good for a while. And the stunt that Jordan pulled on their last case was the last straw. So when Woody showed up at her office that night she knew what was about to happen. They both did. The thing that had been happening ever since Max's death. Fighting.

"Hey" Jordan turned to find the one the blue eye detective looking at her.

"We need to talk" they both said at the same time

"You first" said Jordan. Woody knew best so he just started

"I'm going undercover for awhile" Of everything she was thinking that would happen that wasn't one of them "I think we need some time a part…it would probably help….whatever this is right now"

"Oh…Ok…when do you leave?"

"In 2 days. I already told everyone else. Lily was, as always, the one who hugged me tight and said 'if you die I'll kill you' "he chuckled" Nigel just said 'if you don't came back I know how to find you. I'm that good you know?'"

All Jordan could do was nod. Woody turned and said

"I can't tell you much about what it's going to happen only that it will last about 6 months to an year." Jordan looked at him and nodded again. "I'm going to sleep." He has been sleeping in the couch in his office so when Jordan thought that she wasn't going to see him for so long she blurted

"Can…can you come home with me?" Woody was taken by surprise with her question. What was she trying to do?

"Jordan…I thought you…? "She interrupted him

"I need… I need to say goodbye"

"Ok then. Have you eaten yet? We can pick something on our way. Pizza?"

"Sure. You want some ice cream?" He nodded. She knew he couldn't resist Ice Cream. Strawberry was his favourite.

That week went by faster than anyone was expecting. Woody went to say goodbye to every one Of the morgue, again. And again everyone said the same things but this time they all tears in their eyes. Even Dr. Macy, Bug and Kate that weren't people who cried had them. They said goodbye and after Lily hugged him for the thousand time and made him promise her he was going to be ok, it was Jordan's turn. She didn't want to say goodbye to him. But she had to.

"I'll walk you to the elevator"

"Thanks" Lily hugged him again. He smiled promised he was coming back safe and sound and kissed her forehead. "Take her of her Bug." Bug smiled and hugged Lily

He then went to Jordan. They rode the elevator in silence until they heard the "ding" that made them so scared. It was the moment they were afraid. They had to say goodbye.

"This is the moment you tell me it was all a joke and you're staying." As always Jordan used humour instead of facing the situation in front of her.

"No…what I said it's true. And I think it's going to be a good thing, Jo."

"How is you leaving me a good thing?"

"Time apart will makes us think about the last few months"

"My dad dies and you leave…anything else?"

"Jordan…"

She hugged him and said "I love you so much Farm Boy. Come back to me, Ok?"

"Of course I will. I love you Jordan" He smiled that Woody smile that makes the whole room brighter. "If I don't came back you and Lily would kill me. You're mean girls. But you're my girls. I have to come back" He chuckled. Jordan just smiled between the tears. And then he was gone.
