A/N: in this story, I'm pretending that 'Digger' (from season one) was arrested by the FBI and is serving a life sentence in prison.

The Return Of Digger: Chapter 1

~Jordan's POV~
I heard a knock my office door and looked up to see Lily standing there. "Staff meeting." she informed me. I stood up, glad to be rid of paperwork for the moment, and started down the hall to the conference room. When I got there, I saw everyone but Garret already there. Right at that moment, my boss came in accompanied by Special Agent Drew Haley of the FBI.
"Jordan." Haley greeted me. "You might want to sit down."
I looked at him like he was crazy but I still took his advice. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"There's no easy way to tell you this." Haley began.
"Then just spit it out." I said, exasperated.
"Digger escaped."
"What?" I exclaimed.
"I'm sorry Jordan. No one knows how it happened. The FBI thinks it would be best if you went into the Witness Protection Program until they catch him." Garret explained.
"You want me to go into the Witness Protection Program? Just because some guy escaped from prison? No way."
"Jordan, this isn't just some guy. This psycho buried you alive." Garret argued.
"I don't care. I'm not going to just give up my life 'cause there's a bad guy on the streets. If I did that every time before when that happened, I would have a couple dozen different identities."
"It won't be for that long. Just until we find him." Haley said.
"No. Period. I'm not going for it." I replied before standing up and leaving the room.
I walked down the hall as quick as I could without bumping into anyone, and when I finally got to the stairs, I ran down them as quick as possible.
I just had to get out of here.

Well, I know this is kind of short but the next chapter should be longer.
Please review.
