***Well, this ride has been quite interesting, I may have to get my
driver's brain checked, but heck, I just type what pools inside my little
brain! Not my fault! LOL, anyways, thanks for reading, and let's get on
with the story!***
((This chapter takes place in the Morgue. You'll figure it out soon enough.))
CHAPTER 10:
~~Garret~~ As we rode up in the elevator, all I could think about was how we were going to get past my office without being attacked by Jordan. As soon as she sees two gurneys...she's gonna flip out... The elevator slowly stopped, and I looked over at Nigel, who had become considerably shaken since we got into the elevator. "You alright Nigel?" I walked over and slid the doors open.
"Yeah...I'm just tripping out, thats all...I can't believe we're bringing Woodrow in here...like this..." He pushed his gurney out into the crypt.
I slid the doors shut and looked through the doors that led to the hallway and made sure Jordan was nowhere to be seen. "Put the suspect in drawer tweleve. We'll take Woody straight to Exam Five, and try to avoid Jordan. If I can grab Peter or Bug on the way, we'll tell them not to let her anywhere near Exam Five, that way we can do his autopsy fast, hopefully before she realizes it's him we're working on. I'm pretty sure that it'll be all over the news in a matter of minutes, and we're gonna have to deal with her soon enough."
He nodded, then slid the bodybag containing the suspect into the drawer, then he grabbed one end of the gurney with Woody on it. "Let's go. Exam Five right?"
"Yeah, Exam Five." I grabbed my end, and we started pushing the gurney down the hall, passing the other exam rooms, and then coming up on my office, where I glanced in and locked eyes with Jordan. She instantly stood up and looked down at the bodybag on the gurney, throwing her hand to her mouth and shaking her head. Crap...here it comes...
"Peter! Come here right now!" I saw him bent over a microscope in toxicology.
He jerked his head up, and when he saw the look on my face, he nearly came running. "Yes Dr. Macy?"
"Take this body to Exam Five, but do not do anything with it. I'm going to autospy him myself." I glared at him, then shut my eyes when I realized I was snapping at him. I opened them again and shook my head. "I'm sorry Peter, just...go in there and have Nigel tell you what's going on...if you can't already guess."
"I can guess, Dr. Macy." He took my end of the stretcher, and gently started off with Nigel, while I turned and walked into my office.
When I got in, and looked at Lily, who was sitting across from where Jordan had been sitting. Jordan was over by the window now, and I glanced up at her while speaking to Lily. "Does she know?"
"That it's him Dr. Macy?"
"Yeah, that it's him. Does she?"
"Yeah, the police chief just came on the TV and issued a statement. She wasn't believing him until she saw you and Nigel with the gurney...then she walked over there..." She motioned towards the window.
"Alright. Could you leave us along for a few minutes?"
"Of course, Garret." She quickly stood and walked out of the room, and I took one more glance at Jordan before I walked over and stood behind her.
"Jordan..." I paused, having no idea what to say to her. "Baby...I'm so sorry..."
She turned around and looked at me, her eyes filling with tears. "It's not happening...I'm just imagining this..." She bit her bottom lip and shook her head. "It's not real..."
"Jordan, it is real. He's gone." I gently reached and embraced her, and listened as she broke down sobbing, muttering various curses at me.
"No. He's not dead. He's going walk in this room any minute and say that he's alright, and that he stayed safe like he promised he would." She looked up at me. "You were pushing the suspect's body on that gurney..."
"Jordan. It was him. I saw his body myself...I know this is hard on you but, it's him."
"NO IT'S NOT!" She screamed at me, then shoved me away and ran to the other side of my desk, glancing at the door. "You're lying to me Garret."
I took a few steps forwards, then paused when I saw her eyes dart to the door again.
"Jordan. I swear I'm not lying to you...I'm being honest, no matter how hard it is for you to believe." I walked closer to her. "Please, don't do this to yourself. You're only making it harder."
She grabbed at the door handle, and flung the door open and ran down the hall towards the exam room. I ran after her, and when I saw Peter come out of them exam room. He got this look on his face that meant she couldn't go in there...not now...
She busted into the exam room and froze when she saw Nigel standing over Woody's body. She sank to the floor and started shaking. Nigel set the camera down quickly and pulled off his mask and grabbed her shoulders, while I was only seconds behind her into the room. I saw Woody's body on the table, then I knelt on the floor and pulled Jordan's chin up so I could look in her eyes.
"Jordan?"
She had that glazed look again.
