Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Crossing Jordan.

A/N: Thank you for reviewing what I have written. I agree the script is moving to fast so I am placing this chapter between Jordan, Nigel and Slokum at the scene and Lily finding out about Seely. I think this will make up for the 2 hours that were lost in the script before.

When Angels Cry

Chapter 3 – It was an inside job?

When Jordan, Nigel and Slokum entered the morgue they moved as quickly as possible to have these bodies into each of the autopsy rooms. Slokum looked at them and said gruffly, "I want 2 bodies per room, I want this done promptly and the autopsies started ASAP. Where is Dr. Mahesh?"

Bug came out of trace and stared at the all gurneys on the elevator. "One of the detectives was shot." Jordan told Bug. "Which one?" Bug practically screamed in panic.

"Detective Seely," Nigel answered. "Don't worry Buggles it wasn't your precious detective Framus." Bug looked away as his face turned red.

"Dr. Mahesh I need you to start moving these bodies, we need the autopsies started immediately. This place is about to be flooding with police officers." Slokum told them.

As Slokum said that the elevator doors opened to reveal 2 officers and detective Framus. Framus looked down the hallway. "All right guys we need this to move fast. We need autopsies done and everything you can give us immediately. We need to catch this guy before he kills anymore of our men." No one had ever seen such a take charge attitude from Framus. Everyone noticed she seemed increasingly nervous.

As Jordan began her autopsy, Framus entered. "Is there something wrong with my department. First Hoyt, now Seely, am I next?" Jordan looked up, "I don't think anyone is out to get your specific department. Hoyt could have easily avoided being shot had he not let the case get so personal. I think he gets that from me and as for Seely, well it seems as though he was a target. We just have to determine why."

"I don't know what I am going to do. I have 4 homicides of my own to deal with. Now this and I am sure I'll get all Seely's to. They are trying to talk Capra into coming and working with me. They also offered a position to Santana. However, neither seem to want to work with me. They may have to try another precinct." Normally Jordan hated being disturbed during an autopsy but she felt bad for Framus. No one was ever really nice to her and Jordan missed having Woody to talk to when he'd come interrupt her autopsies.

"So how is Hoyt?" Framus continued. "Oh you know, completely angry at everyone and everything."

Framus smiled, "Yeah I got that, he threw me out. He said he didn't want to be reminded of the job he loved so much and he said he didn't want my pity. He did a complete 180 from the optimistic person I knew at the precinct."

Jordan smiled. She felt better knowing Woody didn't want anyone's pity not just hers. Nigel burst in. "The bullet came from a Browning P35 9mm."

"What?" Jordan asked.

"That gun is commonly used by SWAT teams."

Framus turned around; "It was an inside job?"

"Not necessarily, the type of gun is used by SWAT teams, but anyone could probably get a hold of it. This gun was used in the military as well."

"Oh great, I was hoping this would be easier. Well I guess I should see what Dr. Slokum and Bug have found." Framus said as she made her way to the door.

Nigel looked over at Jordan. "Maybe we should call Lily, I mean she should know immediately not later. We can visit her after Slokum lets us go."

"Nige I don't think Lily wants to hear her date was shot today over the phone. I dealt with that last week and I would have much rather someone told me in person."

"All right Jordan but if Slokum doesn't allow us to leave at 7 maybe we should just call. We could call Dr. Macy, so he could go tell her."

"I don't know where Dr. Macy is and I don't think she wants to hear this from him."

"Why not?"

"A lot of people don't like to hear their date was just killed from their old boyfriend."

Slokum entered. "Is this what you do Dr. Townsend? You stand around chit – chatting during an autopsy when an officer was just murdered. We are dealing with a major homicide so save your gossip for later. Did Macy not hire one decent employee?" Slokum then stormed away and Nigel slowly followed.

As 7 approached Jordan told Slokum that Seely definitely died from the gunshot and that there was no other evidence she could find in his body. She said his tox screen was normal and there was no suspicious bruising. She told him she was having his clothes and shoes checked to see where he had been the past few days and his cell phone was being looked at for suspicious calls.

"Can Nigel and I go now, we'll be back first thing in the morning?"

"All right Dr. Cavanaugh but I expect you here bright and early."

Jordan entered trace and told Nigel they were free to go. Bug looked up, "Are you sure, you 2 are the best people to tell Lily about detective Seely?"

"Why wouldn't we be?"

"Well she knows you both hated him and maybe she should hear this from Woody or something?"

"Why Woody?"

"Because he worked with him and he didn't call him slime, cockroach, etc. She might prefer to hear it from someone who didn't have such a negative opinion of him."

"I don't think she cares who tells her as long as she doesn't stay up all night waiting for him to show up."

Nigel and Jordan quickly wandered to the elevator where Framus popped up. "Can I see you 2 for a second?"

They went into Jordan's office and Framus made sure the door was shut. "Well what do you need to see us for?"

"Okay, I was well 'looking' through detective Seely's garbage for answers and I came across this. I didn't want to hand it in until I knew it was important."

Nigel grabbed the piece of paper. It was a phone number and underneath the word snake was written.

"Snake?" Nigel said in mild confusion. "Who the bloody hell is snake?"

"I don't know but I was hoping you could run the number and see."

"All right," they quickly went back to trace and Nigel typed the number into his computer.

A picture of a young man showed up, he was bald. The name was Sam Johnson. Convicted 9 years ago of smuggling drugs across the border.

"What would Seely want with a convicted drug dealer?" Nigel asked as Slokum entered the room.

"I thought you 2 were leaving, do you have more information you want to share with me?"

"No, we were just leaving Nigel just needed to finish what he was tracing on the bullet we pulled from detective Seely's body."

Jordan, Nigel and Framus quickly left trace and waited for the elevator. "I am going to pull Sam Johnson's court transcript. I will meet you 2 tomorrow morning."

As they exited the elevator Framus ran to her car because it had started to rain. Jordan and Nigel ran in the opposite direction to Jordan's car and began to drive to Lily's.
