When Angels Cry

Chapter 12 – The search is on

Lily refused to go home, she told them her and Woody would meet them back at the morgue. Although Nigel felt the need to argue he instead nodded and hugged her tighter. "Alright luv." He knew this wasn't the time or the place.

At the morgue they sat in the conference room and Bug had finally been aloud to join them. "Okay here is what we know. Detective Seely was shot in the head. At the same time, 4 people, 3 of which had ties to the infamous drug lord Snake, were shot. Upon retrieval of Snakes address book, we found the name Harold Seely in its pages. The names in this book seemed to be his drug contacts, whether he dealt to them or bought from them, these were his contacts. Okay, today Harold shows up and asks to speak with Jordan privately. Jordan ends up taken hostage and her phone was found, thrown from a moving vehicle, in the ditch. While waiting for the location of the phone we have discovered that Matt Seely was physically abused growing up as a child. That is all we have."

Woody looked so angry as he spoke. "Jordan has been kidnapped and that is all we have?"

"Woodrow, we're trying here. Anyway, Bug and I will re-examine every inch of Matt's body for any clues that might help us. Framus, I want you to somehow find a way into Matt's apartment. Lily go with Framus. Woody, you can stay here and supervise us."

"I am not supervising. I am going to contact Garret and then I will rearrange with the chief to have more back up set up to look for Jordan."

Lily and Framus headed back out and Framus stopped at the precinct to get his address. They knocked at Matt's door 20 minutes later but there was no answer. "Dammit, I thought he had a roomate." Framus muttered.

"Please move." Lily said and then she picked the lock.

"You realize you just did that in front of a cop?" Framus said with a smile.

As they entered Lily felt her emotions creep up on her. His apartment was like any bachelor apartment. Clothes everywhere, dishes piled up in the sink, cockroaches quickly hiding from the presence of people. "Well good thing he was neat freak." Framus said.

Lily and Framus slowly began to make their way around the cluttered apartment.

At the morgue, Woody positioned himself at Jordan's desk where he could phone the chief and Garret. Nigel and Bug however, continued to look for anything on Matt's body. However so far the gang had still hit dead ends.

Jordan sat uncomfortably in her seat, waiting for the story on why she was being dragged out here. Silently she prayed to be let out of here alive. She was beginning to doubt her survival was an outcome as they went further into the woods.

As Lily and Framus stumbled over Matt's belongings, they noticed a framed picture sitting on the end table. He was standing with his father outside what appeared to be a log cabin. Lily opened the frame and pulled out the picture written. She smiled as she read the back. August 2004, Matty, I wanted you to remember the good times that we always have in Fall River. Love always Mom.

"I know where Jordan is."

Framus jumped. "What do you mean you know where she is?"

"She's at this log cabin. They have a cabin up in Fall River. Where else would he take her?"

"Alright well we should get back to the morgue then."

Woody however, had run out of things to do. He sat in front of her desk and then he noticed a picture that was hidden behind one of her mother. It was him and Jordan. As he stared at the picture he realized how much happier he was in her presence. He began to think as tears began to creep down his cheeks. He felt so useless to her and yet he would blame himself if something happened to her. He no longer cared about the fact that he would walk again because he only wanted to celebrate with her. Nigel knocked on the door. Woody looked up. "Bug and I have run out of ideas."

Just then Framus and Lily entered. "We know where Jordan is. Okay well not exactly where but somewhere in Fall River. They own a log cabin there."

"Fall River is only about an hour from here. However, how are we going to find the cabin?" Woody asked.

"Who cares at least we know where she is." Nigel said. "Lets get everyone together. The search is on."
