Author's note: Sorry, it's been so long since an update. I've been busy, but I'm making up for it by posting a really long chapter followed by two shorter ones. The shorter ones should be up within the next few days. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Crossing Jordan. Nor have I ever owned it or the characters associated with it….it sucks, I know. The only character that is solely mine, is Liz.

Last time…

"Have you found a place to stay yet?"

"Well, I think Dr. Macy is going to find some place for me to stay tonight and then it's up to me."

"I'd let you stay with me, but I've already got my brother staying with me."

"Thanks, Sidney. It's okay though. I'll find something."

Someone's Jealous

Bug sat at the table in the break room. He couldn't believe that Liz went to lunch with Sidney. What made it worse was that Sidney was actually a nice guy. He was a nice enough guy that Bug had to worry about losing her…not that she was his to begin with.

He never thought that he would see Liz Townsend again. The break up had not been a good one. Sure, their relationship had been great in the beginning…Well, actually it had always been great. She just wanted more than he could give. Not that he didn't want to, but unfortunately, it was not possible at that time. Who would want a….

Bug was startled out of his thoughts by the sound of laughter. Liz and Sidney were back from lunch and it seemed liked they had a good time. She was smiling… a lot. That wasn't a good sign for him, not that she liked him anyway.

"How was lunch?" Bug asked looking directly at Liz.

"We had a good time," Liz said smiling. "We actually have a lot in common. We're going out to dinner tonight and he's going to help me find an apartment."

"He's just a swell guy, isn't he?" Bug said bitterly.

"Why thank you, my dear Buggles. I do try," Sidney said with a smirk. He turned to Liz and kissed her hand. "And thank you for being such a lovely lunch companion."

"You're welcome," Liz said laughing.

Bug growled.

"You know, that sound is really unbecoming of you, Bug," Liz said.

Bug returned Liz's remark with a scowl.

"Be careful or your face will freeze like that," Liz teased. Her teasing only made Bug scowl more.

Sidney tried not to laugh, "Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got things to do. You know, crimes to solve, dead people to cut up. I'll see you guys later." He walked towards the door.

"Later, you freak," Bug shouted.

Sidney turned around and grinned. "Aww, come on, Bug. You know you love me," he said walking backwards.

After Sidney had left, Liz turned to Bug. "Am I sensing a little tension?" she asked grinning.

"Do you want the tour or not?" Bug snapped.

"Someone's grumpy. Did we wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"

Bug scowled…again.

Dr. Macy's office…

Garret was trying to concentrate on the forensic journal he was reading, but he was having trouble. All he could think about was Lily and Matt.

Garret really did not like Detective Seely. He couldn't see what Lily saw in that idiot. How could Lily want Seely when Garret was…well, what was he? He was the idiot who cheated on her with his ex-wife and then spent the next six months ignoring her. Okay, well, maybe he was not better than Seely and neither of them deserved her. She deserved someone who …someone who. DAMN! His thought process had been interrupted by Sidney. Maybe if he ignored him, he would go away.

"Dr. Macy?" Sidney said knocking on the door again.

"Can't you see I'm busy?" Garret said throwing the pen down on the desk in frustration.

"Then, maybe you should close your door," Sidney suggested completely aware that he was bothering his boss.

"Maybe I'll do that next time."

"Got a lot on your mind?" Sidney asked sitting down across from Garret.

"What is it, Sidney?" Garret asked in annoyance.

"It's about Liz."

"You mean Dr. Townsend?" Garret corrected.

"Yeah. Her."

"I see the two of you have been getting friendly," Garret said disapprovingly.

"It's not like that," Sidney defended himself.

"Well, good. She's Nigel's sister."

"So it's okay for Bug to have a thing with her, but not okay for me?" Sidney said angrily.

"That's not what I said."

"That's what you meant…you know what? Forget about it" He took a deep breath. "Liz needs a place to stay while she finds an apartment."

"And you want her to stay with you, right?" Garret guessed.

"No, actually, I was thinking that maybe she could stay with Bug."

"Bug? What are you on something?" Garret couldn't believe what he was hearing. "They are cordial on a good day. Why would you want them to live together?"

"Well, I think he likes her and he's a nice guy. I don't think he'd cause her too much trouble. Besides, did you see the two of them together? It was like an artic freeze, man. I think that the two of them can provide the morgue with some great entertainment, which let's face it, we really could use."

Garret hated to admit that Sidney was right, but he was. The morgue had been a bit dull for the last few weeks and it needed a shake up. However, he was not going to subject his morgue to the hell that Liz and Bug cohabitating would bring. "I don't think so, Sidney."

Sidney was about to argue his point when they heard yelling.

"…Are you going to give me the tour or what?..."

"Well, maybe if you'd stop talking…"

"Well, maybe if you'd stop acting like a dick…?

Sidney was in shock. He had never heard Bug yell like this, and therefore, could not imagine it.

"Wow," Sidney said. "Do they always fight like this?"

"Ever since the break up."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

They heard slamming. "We need to get in there before she throws something at him," Garret said.

"She can do that?" Sidney asked in delight.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Garret asked.

"A little."

"Just wait," Garret warned, knowing what was to come.

They went into the break room where Liz was about to throw a book at Bug. Garret grabbed her arm to stop her from throwing the item at Bug. "What are you doing?"

"He's being a dick," Liz explained.

"Well, tell her to stop being so difficult," Bug said.

"I'm being difficult? What about you? You've been acting like a shit since I got here,' Liz yelled.

"Maybe if you hadn't been spending so much time with Boy Wonder over there…"

"Hey, leave Boy Wonder out of this," Sidney said. "This is between the two of you."

Bug and Liz continued arguing with each other. Garret and Sidney watched silently until the rest of the morgue began to take notice.

"Excuse me," Garret said trying to break up the fight. Bug and Liz were so engrossed in arguing that they didn't here him.

"Excuse me," Garret said louder. Instead of acknowledging their boss, they argued louder.

Garret whistled. The sound shook the entire room. Bug and Liz looked over at him. "Bug, Liz is going to stay with you while she finds a place," Garret said decisively.

"But…?" Bug began to protest.

"Not buts." Garret turned to Liz, "You move in tonight."

"That was fun," Garret said to Sidney as they walked out of the room leaving Bug and Liz in shock.

"What was that?" Lily asked Garret slightly confused and very concerned.

"Bug and Liz are going to live together," Garret explained.

"Oh, God. Are you trying to kill us all?" Lily asked in shock.

Then, Garret did something very un-Dr. Macy-like. He grinned.
