EPILOGUE
Ramon and his employees were all arrested that day and are currently serving their jail sentences. Ramon was found guilty in the Mexican and US courts and will be serving concurrent life sentences with no possibility of parole.
After the bust was made, Cal was given the medical assistance he needed and made an almost full recovery. He has lots of scars still present and may never regain full use of his broken hand. He finally got to cash in on his deal. Calvin Hoyt served no jail time and was able to restart his life in the witness protection program. Before he left to start his new life, Woody and Cal were able to work out their differences once and for all. Cal's injuries kept him in the hospital for quite a few weeks and they used this time to get to know one another again and repair their relationship. Last anyone heard, he was doing well.
Pollack was also tracked down and arrested. After Ramon had been arrested he began to confess the details of his operation to try and improve the quality of life he would have once in prison. He told Franklin about the tracking device and shortly after, the FBI was able to find Pollack and arrest him for his involvement. J.D. still blames Woody for everything that happened to him.
Woody and Jordan had the long overdue talk. She explained everything to him about what happened that day and he completely understood why she had to do what she did. Because Cal was in such a serious condition, he couldn't be moved back to the States for two weeks. Woody and Jordan stayed in Cancun so that they could be close to them. In between visiting Cal, they were able to squeeze in the vacation they never thought they'd get to have. When they left Cancun and came home, they were still very much in love. She never once regretted breaking up with Pollack. Jordan has not felt the need to run away from Woody and knows that those days are long gone. They are still together now. In fact, Jordan is facing another one of her demons. Woody asked her to move in when her lease expired, and she said yes! They're currently looking for a bigger apartment.
After Ramon was arrested and the money stopped coming in, the operation fell apart. The group was never able to restructure. Internal fighting for the leader's role led to the deaths of many of the cartel's members. Most of the employees that had been loyal to the brothers had either been arrested or taken their own lives. With the large number of people Ramon had working for him though, you never know what could happen next.
THE END
Wow! Long time in coming. It feels like just yesterday I started this story and now it's over. I know it took me quite a while to finish, but I didn't want the end to feel rushed. Let me know what you think. I can always go back and modify things. Thank you so much to all my wonderful reviewers-you guys rock! I tried to leave the ending open for a sequel, if you all think I should continue and if I can come up with some more ideas. Any suggestions would be appreciated and welcomed. It may be awhile before I post a new Crossing Jordan story, I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for some 24 or Bones fanfics (my other favorite shows besides CJ). If any of you guys like those, please feel free to check them out. If you have any questions on the story, feel free to e-mail me or post them in reviews and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, still do not own Crossing Jordan (had to put the disclaimer in there, but it looked funny at the top). Thanks again for everything!
