CHAPTER FOUR:
Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom
The knocking on the door woke Jordan up. She watched Lu get up from the bed and answer the door. From what she could make out, Some one had called the front desk complaining about some loud noises coming from this motel room.
"Look lady," Lu yelled, "I'm not making any loud noises"
"Okay, Okay. But I'm going to have to ask you to stop wither you are or your aren't. I'm just doing my job." the lady said.
"Well then, get me some towels. That's doing your job as well." Lu ignorantly demanded.
"Sure, I'll be right up."
"Thanks," Lu said looking down at the lady's tag, "Mae."
"Anytime." Mae replied. Then she left. "There was something strange about this woman." Mae thought to herself as she walked into the lobby, noticing that something was out of place.

"Lu's?! Lu's prints were on Jordan's Phone?" Woody yelled.
"That's correct." Nigel replied.
"Ok, so then are you tracking Lu's phone?" Woody asked.
"Yeah, its at her apartment building. Want to come with me to look for it?"
"Yes, lets go." Woody screamed grabbing his coat. Once they arrived at Lu's apartment, woody forcefully kicked the door in to see Lu not there and her cell phone sitting on the counter in the kitchen.
"I swear, if she did anything to Jordan, oh, is she going to get it." Woody threatened.
"Woody, calm down. We will find Jordan, ok?"
"Ughhh…" Woody said, feeling like he could just fall over right then.
"Come on Woodrow. Lets go check her credit activity and get some food." Nigel said. It had been about a full 24 hours since Jordan went missing. Woody was very frustrated. He had no clue as to where Jordan was, and now, he knew Lu might have taken her.

"Hello, yeah, I'm Mae Robinson, 28 and I think I've been robbed. I'm at the motel on Ewell drive, in Brockton. I am in the lobby at the front desk and the cash register is empty." Mae said on the phone with the 9-1-1 operator.
"Ok, I'm sending the cops right over. Are you alright? Anyone injured?" the operator asked.
"Well I am fine, but I got a complaint for a room 243 involving loud noises. Some one could very well be hurt in there."
"Ok, I will send an ambulance as well." the operator replied.
"Thanks, I hear the sirens now. Goodbye." May said, and hung up the telephone. The cops checked everywhere for evidence to catch this burglar. They had the security tapes and a few prints. They were pretty clear. The cops decided to go door to door and gather prints from people staying in the motel rooms.

"Hey Nige," Woody said into the phone, "I'm almost to the motel. Lucky for us, Lu learned nothing serving on the force. She purchased the room with a credit card."
"Yup, just get Jordan home safe" Nigel replied.
"Yeah, I will. And I second I get her, I'm not letting her out of my arms…. I mean… umm….sight."
"Right…. You two just need to express your feelings for each other already and stop this fighting. I know you and I know her. She loves you so much. She would do anything for you as you would for her."
"Yeah, I know. I actually planned on doing that the night she was taken, but that clearly didn't work out. I'm here now and I've got to go. Bye." Woody said and then added "I'll call you once she is safe…..with me." and he hung up the phone. The second he had turned the corner, he knew something was wrong. He parked quickly and ran out of the car. He talked to the cops and got filled in. The cops were just about to head to room 243, which as Woody knew, the room Lu was staying in. He informed the cops of the situation, and they decided to let Woody do the honors. Quickly, he dashed up to room 243.
"Boston PD. I'm coming in." He said ask he kicked the door in. He saw Lu in the bedroom and then spotted Jordan. He zoomed over to the bathroom where Jordan was. Jordan was still bleeding and had blood all over her beautiful navy blue dress.
"Jordan, Jordan." He yelled in an effort to get her to wake up. She was unconscious. He picked her up and ran out the door, passing Lu, recently handcuffed and the cop keeping hold of her.
"Hey! We need a paramedic over here." Woody screamed. Paramedics rushed over to them with a stretcher and they loaded Jordan into the back of the ambulance.
"You better trail along in your car. The doctor will let you be with her the whole way, through everything, I promise. Just put your siren on and follow us," the paramedic reassured him. "She seems ok, we are going to get the bullet out. It didn't appear to hit anything vital and hopefully she will stay out for a while. We'll fill you in when you arrive at the hospital." and the paramedic shut the door. Woody raced over to his car and put his siren on. He trailed the ambulance all the way to the hospital and when he got there, rushed in and caught up with Jordan. He held her hand the whole way down.
"She luckily doesn't need surgery. The paramedics got the bullet out on the way here. We need to watch her overnight, because she seems a little dehydrated, and also so she doesn't get sick.
"OK, but can I go with her please?" Woody asked.
"Of course. We are just going to get her into her room, bandage her shoulder up and get some strong pain meds in her. She may be out for the night, but should come to tomorrow morning." the doctor said. It was about 11pm. Woody followed them into her room. Quickly, he snuck out while they were bandaging her shoulder and called Garret.
"Hey Doc." Woody said.
"Hey, is she ok?" he asked
"Well, Lu shot her in the left shoulder, and she seemed a little dehydrated. Otherwise, she seems fine. The bullet didn't hit anything vital, and she should be out of the hospital by tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon."
"Thanks Woody. I'll tell everyone else the good news, and Woody? Take care of her ok? I know you can."
"Thanks Dr. M, for everything. Bye." Woody said and hung up. He sat at her bedside all night long, holding her hand and combing her hair. He fell asleep, resting his head on the railing of the bed. Around 6:30am, Jordan woke up.
"Woody?" Jordan asked, confused.
"Yes Jo?" he said, waking up.
"When did we get here? Last think I remember was lying on that floor, holding my shoulder."
"We got here at about 11pm last night. You were unconscious. How are you feeling?"
"Ummm.. Ok. I think I would like to leave though."
"Sure. I'll call the nurse to see if you can be released." he said as he pushed the call button.
"Yes?" the nurse asked as she walked in the room.
"Hi. The doctor said that Jordan had to stay overnight to watch her and make sure she wasn't sick. Is it ok if she leaves now?" Woody politely asked.
"Sure. I'll go get the discharge papers now. Would you mind helping her get dressed?"
"Of course. Wait, excuse me! Her dress Is bloody, do you mind if I run to my car and grab her come clothes?"
"Go ahead."
"I'll be right back Jo. I have some extra sweats and a shirt in my car." Woody said as he headed for the door. When he came back, she got dressed and together they left. Woody grabbed her a blanket and a pillow in case Jordan wanted to sleep on the way back, and they headed out.
