It was Jordan's first day back at work as well as Woody's. As Jordan stepped off the elevator of the morgue, she was on the phone with Woody. They were talking about funny it'd be to not tell anyone and see how long it took everyone to find out about their engagement. Right after she hung up, she spotted Garret in his office.

"You are not sposed to be here." Jordan scowled as she barged into his office.

"Kate needed a break. I'm fine."

"Garret. You really shouldn't-" Garret's phone started ringing before she got to finish her statement.

"Jordan. I need you to pick up a body." He said after he hung up. He gave her the address and practically shoved her out of his office.

Woody met her at the yellow crime scene tape and lifted it up for her.

"Girl. Around 7 years old. Can you tell if she was raped?" Woody was getting straight to work. They were gong to have to try and stay professional about everything. Jordan knelt down next to the little girl and checked to see if the girl had indeed been raped.

"It appears she has been. I'll know more when I get her back to the morgue." She took the liver temp and estimated the time of death for the detective.

"Has anyone figured it out yet?" Woody asked as he walked Jordan to her car.

"No. but I haven't seen Nige yet, so once he figures it out, it all goes down."

"See ya later?"

"Yeah. Bye." Jordan go in her car and Woody closed the door behind her.

Everyone but Kate was back at work. Nigel had already gotten back from his break, as did Bug. When Jordan walked into trace, Nigel met her there, surprising her.

"Nigel! How've you been?" She exclaimed.

"Fine. How are you? I heard a rumor that you and Woodrow went on a safari."

"Oh Nige, it was so much fun! Then Woody took me to his Keenawee and I met his family. Oh, they are so nice."

"Wow. Meetin' the family already huh? Awfully soon?"

"Nah, not really." As they begun trace, Nigel noticed a slight bump on Jordan's left ring finger from underneath her gloves.

"Jordan, what's that?"

"I was just asking myself the same thing. It looks like a piece of duct tape." She took it off the body and handed it to Nigel to look for prints. Nigel wasn't asking about the duct tape, but he'd have to wait for later to ask again.

"Jordan! How are you?" Lily excitedly asked as she joined the two of them in trace.

"I'm great. You?"

"Good, good. Do we have an ID yet on the girl?"

"No. I'm running her prints through missing persons now." Just then, one of the machines beeped.

"Jodie Switzer. Been missing for 14 months."

"Switzer? As in…?" Nigel started.

"Kate Switzer." Jordan paused before she continued on. "Seems Kate has a daughter. A daughter that's been missing for a little over a year."

"She-She never told me she was a mother. I never would have guessed." Nigel was in shock. The woman he was essentially dating had a secret; a big secret. Not only did she have a daughter, but she had a missing daughter that was now dead.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Nigel." Lily apologized with concern.

"I better tell her." The tall brit went running out of trace to the elevators. He was going to try her apartment. Jordan immediately called Woody, to inform him that they ID'd the body and the whole Kate thing. Within 30 minutes, Kate was storming through the halls of the morgue with Nigel following close behind.

"Where is she? Where's my daughter?" Kate yelled as she spotted Jordan in autopsy 2.

"Kate. I'm so sorry." Jordan apologized. Kate was in denial, even after she saw her daughter lying on the metal slab. Jordan was preparing for autopsy, so she luckily hadn't quite started. Woody walked in the room to see Jordan on one side of the child and Nigel holding Kate on the other.

"Kate. I'm so sorry for your loss." Woody started as he walked over to Jordan's side.

"Find him! Find him!" Kate started angrily changing.

"Find who?" Woody asked.

"Shaun parker. Just look in the case notes." Kate turned around in Nigel's arms so she was facing him. She was hurting deep down and Nigel saw it in her eyes. "Come on Lily, Nigel." Kate ordered. The three of them walked out of the room and headed into Kate's office to deal with death certificates etcetera. Kate was really angry apposed to upset. Nigel sat there next to Kate and attempted to keep her calm. There was no way would he give her sugar again, nor would she let go of the anger. None of them, none of them, had yet to see her cry.

Meanwhile, Jordan stopped doing the autopsy on the small, blonde haired little girl and had her put back in the crypt until she was done with Woody. Woody and Jordan were sitting on her office's couch, looking over the missing person's report. Supposedly, Shaun parker was one of Kate's ex-fiancés, as well as Jodie's father. When Kate and Shaun broke it off, their daughter was only 4 years old. By the age of 5, Kate and Jodie had moved away so Shaun couldn't find them. Shaun hated Kate for leaving especially with his daughter. Kate filed for restraining orders and everything else she could do to keep her child safe. Not long after, Shaun chased them down. Jodie was kidnapped 14 months ago. Shaun's prints were in Jodie's room. Police couldn't find him though. Three months later, Cops spotted Shaun's car and chased after him, but lost him. So now they were here. They had to try to find where Jodie had recently been in light of trying to find Shaun.

"Why would he kill and rape her Woody?" Jordan asked, as the two of them sat on her couch with all the case files.

"I don't know Jo. it's a terrible thing he did to his own daughter." Woody replied.

"I'm going to go start the autopsy. I'll have Bug finish trace."

"I have to interview Kate."

"Oooh. Have fun." Jordan gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked out of her office. By the time Jordan was done with the autopsy and gave everything else to Bug, it was quitting time. There was a print on the piece of duct tape they found on the back of the girl's head. The print belonged to Shaun Parker. The cause of death was suffocation and all the other DNA and semen on the girl was Shaun's as well. Once they found him, he was going to be dead meat. Woody was out for blood now. He was really pissed at the guy who he'd never even met. The had raped and killed his very own daughter. When Jordan and Woody were heading out, Jordan noticed how tense and angry he was.

"Ok. What's up Woody?" She asked.

"Nothing. It's….it's nothing." Woody stuttered. Woody quickly walked into the elevator practically flinging Jordan in with him. She squeezed his hand, trying to meet his gaze.

"Woody. Look at me." Once she got him to look at her, she continued. "I know something's bugging you, so spill it."

"This case. The man raped his own daughter Jo, his very own daughter. Then suffocated her. Watched the living breath be sucked out of her. It's…it's…"

"Despicable? Utterly disgusting? Trust me, I know."

"I've got to find him. For the little girl. For Kate. And for my own sanity."

"And you will. You'll find him. I'll help. Nige will help. We'll get him."

"Thanks Jor." He took her small fragile body and held it close to his for those last few seconds in the elevator.

"No one figured it out yet." Jordan attempted to lighten up the conversation as they entered the parking garage.

"Yeah? Seely seems to have caught on that I was 'extra giddy' this morning, as he put it."

"Did he now?"

"So… Your place or mine?"

"Uh, Woody. I don't-"

"Dinner. I want to make you dinner."

"No."

"No? But Jo-"

"No. I'm going to make you dinner. You're going to take a shower. You are the one that needs to relax. Got it?" Woody shrugged his shoulders and replied with a faint 'ok'.

"I just need to stop by the store and pick up a few things."

"I'll drive you." Woody dragged her to his car which wasn't too far from the elevator. Woody, being the total gentleman he was, opened the door for her and closed it once she'd gotten in.

Woody walked out of his bedroom to the aroma of something delicious. He quietly snuck up behind her, wrapping his hands around her slender waist, tickling her.

"Hey! Hey! You don't want to ruin dinner, do you?" Jordan sarcastically punished.

"No. Sorry Mom." Woody sarcastically shot back, acting like a 7 year old who'd just gotten in trouble.

"Now, go to your room until dinner's ready young man. I don't want to hear another peep from you until then. Understood?" Jordan waved her index finger at him while her other hand was on her hips.

"Yes Mom." Woody left the small kitchen area and settled on the couch, turning the TV on. 15 minutes later, Jordan emerged with 2 plates in her hands to find a sleeping Woody on the couch. For minutes, Jordan just stood there, looking at her sleeping fiancé's figure. She set the plates down on the counter and approached the couch. She leaned down and started to kiss him on the forehead, when Woody moved his head up so their lips met. When they broke the wonderful kiss, Jordan had a confused look on her face.

"I wasn't asleep. So, what'd ya make?" Woody's feet swung off the couch and he walked over to the counter where the 2 plates of Beef and Broccoli with white rice lay. Woody inhaled the aroma of the Chinese food and brought it over to Jordan.

"Smells delicious." He said in between gulps. "and tastes even better."

"Thanks. It's Lily's recipe. She gave it to me and I happened to have it in my purse."

"I thought Lily is a vegetarian." Woody stated.

"Yeah, well she used to make it with who knows what type of fake beef."

"Like her tofu-turkey sandwiches?"

"Yeah. Those horrifying things."

"I hope she doesn't make Maddie eat those sorts of stuff. She'd be the only kid in the whole school who brought tofu-turkey sandwiches to school in her lunchbox. The embarrassment that poor, little girl would have to go through."

"Yeah. Well at least she isn't also named after a president." Woody socked her in the arm.

"Hey! You're going to get it for that." Woody threatened. Jordan quickly put her plate down and ran into the bedroom, Woody chasing after her. He cornered her by the bed. She jumped on it, passing Woody and ran out into the living room.

"Catch me if you can Farm Boy!" Jordan ran out the front door. He slowly jogged behind her. As she made it outside before he did, she hid on the other side of the wall. When he came running out, she pounced on him from behind, wrapping her legs around his waist as she did so.

"Gotcha!" She whispered into his ear. Woody quickly put his arms under her legs, holding her up. Woody gave her a piggy back ride back up to his apartment and set her down on the couch. They finished eating in silence, a very comfortable, warm silence. When Woody tried to bring the case back up, Jordan leaned over and brushed her lips against his, placing her index finger on his lips when they parted. When the topic of heading to his bedroom came up, Jordan explained how she'd rather now wait until they were married. Woody let out a small chuckle and then agreed. He was secretly proud of Jordan for doing something like that; even if it meant he was going to have to wait even longer. Sure, he waited for almost 6 years (or something) for the whole commitment thing and everything that fell into place before it, but until they were married made him want to pull his hair out even more. Woody suggested Jordan at least stay the night, considering how late it was and she was practically asleep. She agreed, as long as he tried no funny business. He got out a Boston PD shirt and matching sweats which were a bit big on her, but were comfortable. They both ended up sleeping in his bed, but nothing more than sleeping and dreaming happened. They needed all the sleep they could get after today and how the next would be.
