"Garret, can I have a moment?" She interrupted the arguing duo with a stern look in Jordans direction. "Alone…"
"Oh, sure, yah I can see that you have a lot of FALSE accusations to discuss. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go examine the bodies." Jordan spat back.
"Dr. Cavanaugh, you're off the case until further notice." The DA said calmly, barely acknowledging the conflict.
"René, don't do this. She's my best ME and I want her on the case. I will watch over her the entire time." Garret assured, trying to lighten the tension that was palpable between the two ladies. "Look, Jordan's badge could have been left there by accident when she examined the body, and as of right now, there is no murder weapon so there's no way to prove that Jordan had anything to do with this."
"Fine Garret, we'll do it the hard way." The cranky DA sighed, "I want your cooperation, or I'm taking her out of here in handcuffs. We're running a photo lineup right now, if anyone recognizes her as the person fleeing the scene, then she's going to be arrested. As a favor, I'll let her stay here until this is final; but if she puts one finger on either of those bodies, I'll arrest both of you Garret, I swear!"
"You have my word. She won't touch the bodies." Garret agreed as Jordan stood to his left, furious with what had just happened. She was the ME on the case and there was no way that she was going to let this go by without getting to be involved in solving it. She was a cops daughter after all. After the DA left, Jordan glared at her boss. "Jordan… I said you wouldn't touch the bodies, and I meant it. I didn't say you wouldn't help with the autopsy."
Jordan grinned, "I think I'm having a bad influence on you… it's about time."
