Jordan walked into the pub her father owned, strided up to the bar and
grabed Leigh by the arm. "Oww!" Leigh muttered outloud. "Jordan. What's
wrong?" She studied her sister carefully. Jordan's eyes were red, and her
cheeks were stained.
Jordan shut the storage room door behind her. "The bastard set me up!" She screamed.
"Keep your voice down." Leigh hushed her sister. "Who set you up?" Leigh looked her sister over and over and over again. "Jordan. Who set you up?"
"Redding." Jordan paused as she paced around in the small room. "Redding set me up. He didn't kill mom! I let him go and he really killed his family. I am so stupid."
Leigh held her sister. "Jordan. How could you have known? You we're just following your heart. You were just trying to do mom some justice. I can understand."
"No! NO!" Jordan shouted. "Ashleigh, you don't get it! I let a murderer walk and now he's made me look like a fool."
Leigh sighed. Jordan was hurting, and Leigh could feel her sisters' pain. "Look, my shift is almost done here. I'll take you home, you can rest then tomorrow you can go back to work, okay?"
"I can't." Jordan said as she sat down on a wooden crate.
"Of course you can. You just need to rest." Leigh reassured her.
"No. I can't. I quit." Jordan spoke.
"What? Why did you quit."
"I goofed up. I let a murderer walk, and I've compromised everything. I gave Garrett my notice. Actually," she paused. "I told him I quit, and I walked out."
"Well, I'm sure given the circumstances, Garrett will give you your job back." Leigh tried once again to reassure her sister. It wasn't helping.
"No!" Jordan shouted. "No! I don't want my job back!" Jordan threw herself up from the crate she sat on and grabbed the doorknob. She looked at her sister then stormed out.
Leigh sighed. She scrubbed her face with her fingers. 'What are you doing to yourself Jordan.' She said to herself. 'What are you doing?'
"What was that all about?" Max asked his youngest as he walked into the storage room to fetch a box of beer.
"Jordan quit her job. That guy that gave her mom's finger print conned her. He really did murder his family and he's no where to be found. Dad, she kicking herself for it and..." Ashleigh lowered her voice. "I'm afraid she'll do something horrible."
"To who?" Max asked as he picked up the box.
"Herself." Ashleigh said quietly.
