Later that night Jordan was bartending at the Pogue. Nigel, Bug and Woody were all there keeping her company. Nigel caught sight of something new hanging behind the bar and decided it would be fun to call everyone's attention to it.

"New picture Max?" Nigel asked trying to rouse some excitement or at the very least embarrass Jordan.

Jordan turned to see what he was pointing at and everyone else's eyes followed accordingly.

It was a picture of Woody and Jordan dancing together at the Pogue. Jordan's arms were wrapped around his back and she was staring up him smiling happily. Woody's arms were wrapped snugly around Jordan's waist and he was looking back down at her lovingly. Both Woody and Jordan continued to stare at the picture after everyone else had lost interest. They were remembering that night, how it had felt to hold each other like that and dance so close, oblivious to everything around them including Max's camera. Jordan stopped looking at the picture and cut her eyes to her dad, staring him down for having the audacity to put such a picture up without telling her, so that it would be pointed out without her even having seen it.

"Don't look at me like that little girl, all I can say is that the camera doesn't lie" Max countered.

Jordan turned back to the bar, hoping to sneak a look at Woody without him catching her looking but he was already staring at her when she turned to face him. Their eyes met briefly then she looked away, searching her bar customer's glasses to see who needed a refill. Woody sighed at his inability to hold her gaze and killed the rest of the whisky that remained in his glass. Max knowingly patted him on the shoulder and handed him a beer.

Lily had entered the bar and was making her way towards her friends.

"Hey Lily" Jordan called out, grateful for this new distraction.

"Hey" she answered unenthusiastically. "I need a drink" Jordan started making her a Cosmopolitan.

"So I guess there's really no need to ask how your little talk went" Bug said sympathetically.

"Geez Jordan, you told them already?" Lily said, a little annoyed.

"Of course she told them, you ought to know Jordan cant keep a secret Lily" Max interjected.

"Thanks Dad" she huffed back.

"Well I guess it wasn't really a secret anyway, now I guess it isn't anything at all" Lily sighed.

Nigel pulled her closer to him and put his arm around her comfortingly. "What happened Luv?"

She turned her drink up and swallowed it all in one sip as Jordan began to pour a second one.

"Nothing happened, nothing at all. I tried to talk to him but I guess he didn't want to talk about it, he just blew me off saying he had to get somewhere" Lily answered sadly.

"Maybe he really did have to be somewhere" Bug added hopefully.

His enthusiasm was met by an annoyed eye roll from Lily.

"I know what you need to do!" Jordan exclaimed excitedly, like a light bulb had suddenly clicked on in her head.

"Oh no thanks Jordan, I'm not going to do anything. I tried talking to him and that didn't work. The ball is in his court now so if he wants to do something then he's going to have to be the one to make it happen" she said finishing up her second drink.

"Well that's all very well and good Lily except that Dr. Macy is a man and we just don't think that complex. If you just leave this alone then nothing will happen, we men like to be chased" Nigel insisted.

"Well that's too bad because chasing him is not what I had in mind" Jordan replied.

"What then?" Woody asked, interested in her relationship plan.

"Nothing makes a man figure out how he feels about a woman faster than bringing another guy into the picture. They always drag their feet until there's a little competition"

Nigel and Bug looked at each other as if they were going to protest, then nodded in agreement.

Woody frowned. "I don't think you should play games"

"Well sometimes you have to Woody" Jordan shot back.

"You shouldn't have to, you should just be honest about your feelings in the first place" He mumbled as he gazed into his beer as if searching for an answer in there.

"Okay, let's do it" Lily finally agreed "Now what do I do?"

"It just so happens I've got some cop friends coming in from L.A. this weekend, You can just hang out with them, nothing has to happen but when Garrett asks you about it don't confirm or deny anything, keep hi guessing. The key is getting him to think about it"

They started plotting their newly devised plan. Woody just sat there dejectedly listening to their ruse. Nigel, Bug and Lily went to play a game of pool while perfecting their intended plan. Woody stayed behind, sick of hearing about their stupid plan.

Max smiled sympathetically. It really got to him, seeing Woody like this, knowing how much he cared about Jordan and wishing he could make Jordan see what was so obvious to everyone else.

Max leaned against the bar across from where Woody was sitting to talk to him.

"Ya know son, Jordan's right, sometimes you do have to play the game"

"What? Max I cant believe you agree with them" he said in disbelief.

"I'm no talking about them Woody, I'm talking about you and Jordan"

"Me and Jordan huh? Now there's a laugh" he said chuckling, obviously feeling the effects of the alcohol.

"There is no me and Jordan Max, that is becoming painfully obvious. You saw the way she reacted to that picture" he said pointing at it. Max looked at the picture for a minute before answering.

"Yes, I saw, but I also see the way she's looking at you in this picture, I saw how she smiled when she was in your arms that night with no one else around"

Woody just shook his head "It doesn't matter" he said sadly, barely audible. He looked down at the bar.

Max could see the hurt in his eyes he was trying do hard not to show.

Max persisted. "Woody, everyone knows she cares about you, now you just need to make her see how much"

"How can I do that?"

"Easy, just play her game. If she thinks this is such a good idea then turn it around on her. Find a girl to hang out with and let her know you're hanging out with this girl, then when she wants to do something with you tell her you cant because you have plans."

Woody half-smiled at the idea of giving her a taste of her own medicine.

"I am getting a female partner soon, she and I went through the academy together, we're old friends. I'm sure she'd love to get in on this plan.and she's hot!" he added excitedly.

"Well there you go, I don't think it will take long for the jealous bone to kick in" Max grinned.

"Thanks Max" Woody beamed, leaving purposely without telling Jordan goodbye.

Jordan saw him leave; she walked over to the bar. "Hey dad, everything okay with Woody?"

"As far as I know, why wouldn't it be?"

"I, uh, he just didn't say goodbye to me, he usually does that's all"

Max just smiled, the wheels were already in motion.
