Ok firstly my apologies to everyone, I was almost finished this chapter when I lost it on my other computer when it got retarded by some strange virus. So I finally re-wrote it, and here it is… but firstly…

Mallorysgirl- No Woody is NOT the guy in tights, I refuse for him to wear tights… ew. However, the costume is still extremely sexy :) I'm really glad you like the story!

Lioness-Rampant- The Boston Hero… lol it just came to me one day. And as for the whole boston hero/Woody thing, let's just say Jordan will be oblivious for a while…

fluffy black cloud- as AA47 said, this story will be LONG! lol, yeah I have quite a complex picture in my mind…

AA47- Well of COURSE he is okay! He was like there right beside Jordan when the thing blew up, Jordan's just a bit thick.

AB- lots of thank you's because I can't be screwed remembering where we r up to… oh, and congrats on leader. me thinks u deserved it :)

Elisabeth Carmichael- Yeah I do take a bit of getting used to :) but I'm glad that you like the story!

SuperKelli15- Woody's going to feel a little guilty…

Well that's MORE than enough so here is your long-awaited update…


Woody turned to see Jordan and Nigel standing next to the dead body. His eyes connected with Jordan's and he immediately felt horrible. He hadn't meant to leave Jordan alone the night before, but he had to get everyone out of the restaurant. He could tell that Jordan had probably been up all night worrying about him. Was this what it meant to save the world? He'd seen the stuff in the papers, some called him a hero, some called him a madman. But he didn't care what they said, for there were only a handful of people whose opinions mattered to him, and Jordan's was one of the most important. If hurting Jordan was what he had to do to save her, Woody didn't know how much longer he could do it.

Walking over to where Jordan was standing with Nigel, Woody quickly smiled at Nigel. "I'm borrowing her for a second," he said, before taking Jordan's hand and walking her to somewhere they could talk.

"I'm so sorry, Jordan. It all happened so quickly…"

It was then Jordan could finally let out her emotions, she let the tears roll down her face, hugging Woody tightly. "Where were you?"

Woody ran his fingers up and down Jordan's back, letting her cry on his chest. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm sorry."

Meanwhile...

Even the top guy has a boss.

Agent O'Connell opened the door to his boss's office, straightening his tie and making an effort to stand up tall.

"Agent O'Connell, take a seat."

He did what he was told, because even though he had his own reputation, his boss was 1000 times more intimidating.

"Good morning, Special Agent D'Onofrio."

D'Onofrio placed his hands in his pockets. He had a horrible habit of moving his hands constantly in a way that basically drove many people bonkers, and was trying to quit the unstoppable hands.

"Top case. Any news?"

O'Connell shifted in his seat. "Not particularly," he lied, not wanting to get the wrap for anything.

"Not what I hear."

Ok then, what was the point of asking?

O'Connell sighed. "Turns out Agent Hoyt is seeing Miss Cavanaugh socially."

"By socially, do you mean sexually?" That question, of course, came from a secretary by the name of Miss Erbe. She was known for her frank comments, and O'Connell knew her quite well seeing as she was best friends with his wife, Ellen O'Connell, who was also a secretary.

"My guess is yes, but that's just a guess."

D'Onofrio raised an eyebrow. "I would hope it's just a guess, I wouldn't want to think you had been invading on privacy…"

"No, that's not my intent…"

Miss Erbe took the pile of papers on D'Onofrio's desk that she had come into the office to take. "Not your intent… of course not," She said, raising her eyebrow. She then headed to the door.

Strange, O'Connell thought to himself. He could've sworn he saw Miss Erbe wink at Special Agent D'Onofrio as she exited the office.

And even more strange was that he could've sworn that he saw Agent D'Onofrio wink back.


hmm whats the deal with D'Onofrio and Erbe? Oh, and please review! Cya all next time!
