So here's the next chapter. More of the Martinez brothers' plan will be explained and Sam's true identity will be revealed. Thanks again to all who have reviewed-I really appreciate it! Even though I would like to, I still do not own anything Crossing Jordan.

Woody was frantic. Jordan was missing. When she had gotten up from the breakfast table she had smiled at him and said she'd be right back. Things had been going so well between the two of them down here that he felt like they were any other normal couple in love. Neither had said anything to the other about it, but the awkwardness and anger seemed to have evaporated. He had almost forgotten the real reason they were here. He was supposed to be protecting Jordan and getting Pollack back safely. Now, he had failed at both tasks. If anything ever happened to Jordan he would never be able to forgive himself.

He knew something had happened after only a few moments. He had been in the middle of a conversation with the other detective on the case back in Boston and all of a sudden he put it together. The phone call that she had taken-she hadn't told him anything about it. Most likely whoever had Pollack had been on the phone with her and had not been Pollack himself.

"I'll have to call you back" he said to the other officer and hung up the phone. Jordan was nowhere to be seen in the restaurant. He got up from the table and began frantically searching every square inch. Woody saw a long hallway with a sign over it that indicated where the restrooms were. He saw a payphone down there as well. That was where she went! But, no one was there now. A back door was on the other end of the hallway. At that moment Woody knew she had been taken too.

He went up to the manager of the restaurant. "I need to get a hold of whoever is in charge of your security here" he said, flashing his badge.

"Right away, sir" and the man was off to find him.

Woody called back to Boston and found out they had been unable to get a trace off the call she had taken earlier. Damn it! How in the hell could this have happened!

The manager of the restaurant returned in just a few minutes with the hotel manager, Antonio, and the head of security.

"I need to see what video footage you have of the restaurant from this morning. The girl I was with was abducted from there this morning."

"When, sir?"

"Ten maybe fifteen minutes ago at the longest. If I can find her on the tapes, maybe I will be able to see who abducted her."

They sat down in the security office and began looking at the footage that had been shot of the hotel restaurant this morning. He located the camera that had been watching the hallway by the bathroom and asked them to rewind the tape a bit. The he saw it. Jordan came down the hall, but right behind came another man. He practically stood right on top of her and with their backs turned to the camera, Woody could not make out his face or see any weapons. They slowly turned around and walked to the side door. Jordan had an expression of sheer terror on her face. The man must have a gun pointed at her. That was the only way she would willingly go with him.

They panned the camera out and saw a car parked outside the door. He watched as Jordan was handcuffed and forced into the car. Thankfully a license plate number was very visible on the car. He wrote it down and just as he was about to have an alert placed for the car, his jaw dropped open and he couldn't breathe. Another man exited the hotel and got into the car with Jordan and her abductor. Woody couldn't believe it. It was Calvin.

Jordan and her kidnappers had not been in the car for long when it came to a stop. She heard the door open and one of the men get out. "Sam" handed the other man an envelope with a large amount of cash in it.

"Thanks for your help. Ramon will call again the next time he has a job for you."

"Thanks, Sam. I'll see you around"

Calvin then got back into the car. He didn't say a word to Jordan and after driving for a few more minutes, he parked the car again. He then got out and opened the backseat door. He removed the blindfold and Jordan couldn't believe who was standing in front of her. It was Cal, Woody's brother who he had never wanted to see again.

"Cal, Oh my god! What are you doing here? Does Woody know you are here?"

"No, I'm working undercover with the Martinez brothers."

"The who?"

"The people who have your boyfriend. By the way, why are you with that loser? I would have thought you and my brother would have hooked up by now."

"Long story, Cal. This is definitely not the place, but I'll fill you in later, I promise. What are you waiting for? Get me out of here!"

"I can't do that Jordan, it would blow my cover. I have been working with the Martinez brothers for almost six months now. After Woody threw me out of Boston, I knew I had to get my life together. I turned myself in to the police and they offered me a way out without being prosecuted or serving any jail time. They also promised not to let Woody find out, because if he did, he would pull me out. I started out doing this just as a start for my new life, but when I heard what they were planning, I knew I had to stay involved and finish this."

"And just what are they planning to do?"

"They need someone on the inside of the system they could control and manipulate in Boston. These guys have people all over the country in on it too. Boston was one of the few big cities left that didn't have anyone yet."

"I hate to disappoint them Cal, but neither Pollack or I have that kind of pull."

"It's not either of you that they want-they want Woody."

"Woody! He would never agree to that. Woody's a good man, there's no way he would cooperate with them."

"Not unless they had something he wanted and I'm not talking about money."

"That's why I'm here. They want to use me to get to him."

"You got it. When Pollack began to get interested in what they were involved with, Ramon Martinez had him checked out. They found out about your relationship with him and your whatever it is that you have going on with my brother. He then realized this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. If he can control Woody, then he will be able to distribute the drugs a lot more efficiently through Boston."

"I won't let that happen. No one is going to use Woody for drug trafficking or any other crime."

'They won't. But first, we need to be able to catch them with the kidnapping and extortion. Then the authorities can come in and take these guys out. That can't happen until Woody comes to rescue you and make the deal. Until then, you have to pretend like you don't know me or anything I have told you. Can you do that Jordan?"

What will Jordan say? Will Woody be able to rescue them without becoming a criminal himself? Is Cal really trying to help them or is his loyalty to the Martinez brothers? Stay tuned to find out! Please review and let me know what you think! Thanks!
