Still don't own any of the CSI or Crossing Jordan Characters but I am praying!

R&R, please!

'Just another day in the morgue,' Jordan grumbled, when she saw Lily open the door to her office. Carrying huge piles of paperwork. Why had she agreed to take over Macy's paperwork, she would never understand. Well, he had had a terrible day, with his daughter screaming at him and his wife blaming him for his daughter screaming at him.

She shook her head. Families. They could be so annoying. Her own dad Max had just recently vanished from the face of the earth, again. But Jordan wasn't worried. He could take care of himself and usually showed up just fine. And just in time for her to mess something horribly up. She missed Max. 'Well, nothing like work to forget your relationship problems, huh?' She asked Lily, when she dumped the pile of papers on her desk.

'Yeah right.' Lily sighed. 'Poor Dr. Macy. He never lets anyone help him. Thinks work and life are not supposed to be brought together.' She pressed her lips tightly together as if trying to stop her from telling Jordan what she thought of that philosophy. But even without Lily raging in her office Jordan agreed with her. Dr. Macy needed to be reminded of what really mattered. By someone. She sighed. 'I'll stop by his office later. Maybe we could just burn these papers and then pretend there has been a fire in the building?' Jordan hopefully turned to Lily raising her eyebrows in a question. 'Haha, I wish.' Lily said. 'You can do it. Today or tomorrow.' Turning around she heard the phone ring.

'Jordan Cavanaugh.' 'Jordan! Hi, how are you? It's Sara. I haven't talked to you forever, how are you?' Jordan's eyes opened wider. 'Sara? Sara Sidle? Wow, great to hear from you. What's up? Where are you? How are you? What's going on?' Sara had been her good friend from when she was a kid and they had been in contact every now and then over letters and emails. They had the same emotional background, tragedy in the family and a talent of getting into all kinds of troubles together.

'I'm good. Or rather I needed a break and had some vacation time left and felt like I had to get away for a while. So I jumped on the next plane and guess where it led me? Boston! So here I am, needing a place to crash for a couple of days. How do you feel about housing somebody that knows all your darkest secrets?'

Jordan laughed and leaned back in her chair. 'Wow, I can't believe you are here. Sure you can stay with me. I'm at work right now, why don't you take a cap here and I'll take you home from here.' She looked at Lily who was raising her eyebrows in surprise at what she heard. 'I'm sure all my friends will be really excited to meet someone from my past.' Sara agreed and told her she would be at the office within the next hour.

'Jordan who was that?' Lily asked curiously after Jordan had hung up the phone. 'Who was who?' asked Nigel who had just walked past the open office door when he heard Lily asking. Jordan laughed. 'One of my childhood friends just called. She's in Boston and needs a place to stay for a couple of days or so. She'll come by in like an hour, so you'll all meet her. She's great, pretty, a troublemaker like me.' 'Well if you are friends she must be really interesting,' Nigel prompted and was on his way to tell this story to Bug and the rest of the office. Jordan looked at Lily 'She won't know what hit her when she shows up here.'

'Welcome to CostMart, can I help you find something?'. The older man inquired friendly as he walked into the store. With a sarcastic smile he thought 'My next project?' Pulling himself together he answered with friendliness 'Yes, thank you, I need to get some new windshield wipers.' The man, whose nametag identified him as Carl, nodded. 'They are in the second isle on your right. My favorite brand is Boston/Werthes. They last the longest. Have a nice day!' 'Thank you very much,' he thanked Carl and was on his way to pick up those wipers.

Standing in line on the checkout counter he thought 'Boston. Good idea.'
