Disclaimer: I'm not lucky enough to own Crossing Jordan. Besides if I did it probably wouldn't last another season because…

Jordan and Woody would already be together.

Bug and Lily would already be together.

Nigel would have someone…(someone as cool as him)

Garret would be with Renee.

And last but certainly NOT least….

Lu would be DEAD or she would leave (I bet she couldn't cause trouble then…lol). I can kind of see Lu and Nigel together though…

SO…that's why I don't and will never own Crossing Jordan…

Thanks to all of my loyal fans who just keep coming back! My thanks go to all of the following:

Last Time

"He had it coming. Digging up stuff he had no business digging up. We framed his stupid girlfriend for the whole thing and they never saw it coming. It's too bad you won't have the pleasure of telling anyone."

"Why?"

He pulled out a gun with a silencer on the end.

"You'll be dead."

Chapter 9

Forty-five minutes after Jordan went in Woody was pacing "She should have come out by now. Where is she? I bet she told him that she knew everything. We told her to ask him about JD not interrogate him. She's gonna get herself killed. I have to go find her." He started to walk towards the building.

"Hold on Super Cop." He said pulling on Woody's arm "You have to give her time to 'interrogate' him."

"You don't know Jordan like I do. She is so stubborn that she would have told him everything by now just to see his reaction."

"So I've heard."

"She's gonna get herself killed."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You don't want to shoot me." Jordan said

"And why is that?"

"Because I have friends who know I'm here."

"I'm a powerful Judge. I have Governors, Senators…hell even the president is on my side." He walked up to her and pulled off her wig "Blonde isn't your color."

"So I've been told." She said fiercely

"Tell me who you really are and how exactly you know JD Pollack" He pointed the gun at her "And make it quick."

"I'm the girlfriend you set up for murder" She said with attitude "And a pissed off individual. I don't know who the hell you think you are but you're the one who's been set up. I have friends waiting outside." Hurry up Woody! I can't stall him any longer.

"I bet you do. Would one of them happen to be Mark Lewis or known by you as Rick?" He smirked

How does he know I call him Rick? "How do you know that?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Outside Woody was still pacing and worrying. Where are you Jordan? I can not believe I let you do this. I knew it was dangerous and I let you do it anyway. What kind of a friend am I? A bad one that's what. That's it I can't take it anymore… I'm going in.

"I'm going after her." Woody stated

Woody looked back at Rick and started walking towards the building again. He didn't get very far before something slammed against his head. The last thing he saw was a dark figure above him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I know all about you. I knew you were coming here today. You and your cop friend are the ones who have been set up. Mark or should I say Rick betrayed you. He's been updating me every week about what you were planning to do and I'm guessing that wire you have on doesn't even work." He walked over to his desk and got out a bottle of wine "Would you care for a drink? I bought this especially for today."

"No thanks." She said in a tight voice "Where's my friend?"

"I'm sure Mark has knocked him out by now."

"Just let my friend go. You don't want him."

"Oh, but I do." He said as he walked closer to her with the gun. "He's a witness."

He can't kill Woody. I won't let that happen.

"This is your fault Jordan." He said "You just had to come looking for me."

This is my fault, but I won't let him kill Woody.

He turned around to grab something and she made her move. She pushed him against the wall and tried to wrestle the gun away from him. It wasn't working like she planned because they both fell to the ground. The gun was still in his hands.

He slapped her in the face and she retaliated by punching him in the jaw. He raised the gun to her head. "Now it's time to die."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Woody was woken up by a hard slap in the face. The first thing he realized was that he was in an alley and his hands were tied behind his back. He looked up to see Rick standing over him. "Why?"

"It's simple really. The Judge is my uncle and I don't like people messing with my family. You and your stupid girlfriend had to come around and mess everything up."

"How can you even claim that bastard as family?" Woody received a punch in the face for that question.

"Don't EVER talk about my family or I'll make sure you get to see your stupid, meddling girlfriend die first. Neither of you mean anything to me, so believe me when I say that I won't feel bad about killing you."

"Don't ever talk about Jordan again you back-stabbing freak or I'll-"

"Or you'll what? What are you gonna do hit me? You cops think you're so bad, but you're not." He raised his foot and kicked Woody in the stomach. "Your hands are tied together and your girlfriend isn't here to help you out. In fact, she's probably dead by now."

Please let Jordan be alive. "I doubt it. Your uncle doesn't know what he's up against."

"She doesn't love you." Mark said "She loves me."

"Yeah right." Woody said as he laughed "You're crazy."

"Did she tell you that we had sex?" He said "How she threw herself at me because she was lonely?"

"That's not true. She wouldn't do that."

"But she did and it was great."

Woody started struggling against his bonds. He wanted to strangle this guy for even mentioning something like that.

Just as Woody was about to say something, a figure came up behind Rick and hit him over the head. Rick fell to the ground, unconscious.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jordan knew she had to do something, so she grabbed his gun arm and banged it against the floor. The gun flew across the room and Jordan kicked him and went after it, but before she could grab it he grabbed her leg and pulled her against him.

He pinned her arms above her head with one hand and slapped her repeatedly with the other. Her face was on fire. Woody…help! She thought Please!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Woody looked up to see who his savior was and was surprised when he saw it was….

A/N: Who is it? Will Jordan be okay? Will Woody and the Mystery man make it there in time to save her? I hope everyone reviews….PLEASE REVIEW!
