Authors note – this is a story that has been in my head for a while but just never wrote it. What if Woody and Jordan met before the bank scene in Wrong place, wrong time?

Chapter 1: Blast from the past
2001
Jordan Cavanaugh was woken from sleep by the sound of her ringing cell phone. She rolled over and grabbed it angrily. "What!" She asked in an angry, sleepy voice. "Morning to you too, Jordan. We have a double homicide call down at First National Bank." Garret Macy, her boss replied. "Alright I'll be there as soon as I can." Jordan said before hanging up her phone. She dressed quickly before going into the kitchen to get some coffee. Sitting on a bar stool buttering some toast was her ten year- old daughter. "Morning, Mom." Rory Emerson Cavanaugh greeted her mother. "Morning, Rory." Jordan replied looking at her daughter. Rory's long dark brown hair fell in loose ringlet curls framing her face. Her ocean blue eyes matched the t-shirt she was wearing. "Another early morning murder?" Rory asked with a smile as she bit into her toast. "Yep." Jordan simply replied as she sipped her coffee. "I'll drop you at school then I have get to the scene so lets get moving." Jordan told Rory as she grabbed her keys.
First National Bank
Garret waited outside the bank for Jordan. Checking his watch again, Jordan was always late. Then he saw her SUV quickly pull up to the curb and she hastily jumped out. "Morning, boss." Jordan said with a smile as she walked up to him. "Nice of you to show." Garrett said sarcastically. " What the dead people decided not to wait for me." Jordan responded as equally sarcastic as her boss. The two M.Es entered the bank and were approached by the detective on the case. "Hey, hi, how are you? I'm Det. Wood…" Just then the young man stopped and stared at Jordan. Jordan had been taking in the scene when she finally noticed the man in front of her. "Woody?" She responded stunned. "Jordan Cavanaugh." Woody responded with a pure Farm boy smile. Jordan couldn't say a word she just stared into his ocean blue eyes. "You two know each other?" Garret asked not understanding how Jordan could know this man, who seemed so naïve and defiantly not from Boston. "Yeah, we met when I was on a trip to Boston." Woody answered since Jordan still hadn't said anything. "So where you from Woody? Garret asked trying to break the tension he sensed. "Kewanee, Wisconsin. Thought I'd move to the big city once I got my badge. Woody told Garret. " We should probably get started."Garret motioned toward the bodies. Woody and Garret started toward the bodies when Garret saw Jordan hesitate. "Jordan?" Garret asked, "I'm fine." Jordan said walking toward the bodies. Jordan didn't really speak as they did their examination. Garret waited until they were outside and Woody was gone to ask the obvious question. " What's going on Jordan? Garret knew something wasn't right with his best ME. "That was Rory's Father." Jordan responded looking her boss in the eyes.
