WHERE'S PETER?
A Crossing Jordan Fanfic

CHAPTER 1
MYSTERY WOMAN
ANOTHER NOTE: For continuity's sake, this takes place before the current season opener. Also, for reasons that will be obvious, we're going to pretend my other fanfic, Season of the Witch, never happened in this particular timeline… J
It started out as just another day at the office for Jordan Cavanaugh; breakfast, hop on the T to work, have heartfelt discussion (or argument) with Woody on the cell phone, wonder where the hell Dad has been the last few days – and of course having to examine a few fresh corpses too, all before lunch. Jordan was in fact just about to leave for lunch with Bug (Woody was on a call and couldn't make it, Nigel and Garrett had other plans) when SHE came in. She was tall and blonde and gorgeous, and something about her manner made Jordan feel a bit uneasy.
"May I help you?"
"Yes, I hope so," she replied. "I'm looking for Peter Winslow, is he here now?"
Jordan replied, "I'm sorry, Peter no longer works here. May I be of some help, Miss….?"
"Mrs. Winslow. I'm Peter's wife."
Jordan couldn't help looking shocked. At this point Bug walked in. He noticed Jordan's look almost immediately and stopped dead in his tracks.
"Jordan?"
Jordan turned around and said, in a much-too-calm voice, "Bug, there's a Mrs. Peter Winslow here. She wants to see Peter."
Bug responded with Jordan's shocked look. After all, they both knew: Peter's wife had been dead for some time.
