Woody was sitting behind his desk, his face was unshaved, and his clothes wrinkled, sure signs he never went home the day before. He was in fact working on Max's case, determined to find a clue leading to the real killer. He still didn't believe Ms. Barrington was the killer, but that didn't get him anywhere, sure as hell wouldn't get him closer to Jordan.
All right lets go over this again. The girlfriend is out of the picture, who wanted Max dead? An ex-con…somebody he put behind bars perhaps.
He was trying to figure out Jordan's words before she left the station.
What did she mean by "I'm here because I'd do anything to catch the guy that killed my parents?" She must've been just tired…or maybe she really meant what she said.
Woody was determined to find out what it meant. He took off to the morgue in search of Jordan.
"Jordan? Jordan? Come on love wake up, I have this grand breakfast all ready for our favorite M.E."
Nigel was making sure she started of with some hearty food, or at least whatever he managed to scramble together for her. The food he left for her the night before didn't seem too appetizing anymore.
"Mhmm Nige be a doll and get lost."
He knew she didn't mean it so he decided to tease her a bit, "That's the thanks I get for all my hard work? Bloody hell I might as well eat it myself then."
It seemed to work because even though she was playing though she was in fact a bit hungry and realizing what she was doing, passing up breakfast in bed.
"Ah Nige cheer up I meant to say good morning love" she gave him a smile that could any mans heart, "what are we having?"
"Ah yes that's better, well top of the morning to ya as well. Let's see I have for thee some eggs, some bread, some juice de orange, and ah yes milk. I brought coffee but then realized that you can't have any so I passed it on to good ol' Buggles. All right go wash up I'll try to make some sort of breakfast table here, come on now go."
She found it somewhat amusing that she was becoming so obedient these past few days. She was actually smiling, really smiling not just faking it so others would feel better knowing she wasn't mourning too much.
God I really love Nigel, only he could make me laugh right now while I'm feeling like a truck has hit me.
She went to wash up and returned within a couple minutes to enjoy her breakfast. Nigel set up her desk as a mock breakfast table; they sat down and ate together. There wasn't really much talking going on, she didn't realize how hungry she was. Nigel having already eaten breakfast just nibbled on some toast letting her eat the rest.
"This was great Nige, just what I needed."
He smiled feeling good to know he was able to help her. Their little breakfast was disturbed by a knock on her door.
Who'd the bloody hell is that? Can't they leave her alone for a second to eat in peace?
"Come in" she said while finishing her eggs.
"Woody…hey what are you doing here?" He saw they were eating breakfast and felt like an intruder all of a sudden.
"Oh I'm sorry I should've called first…I just really need to go over something with you. Nigel can you give us a minute?"
Give you a minute? I can give you a lifetime and you'd still be clueless about her.
Nigel complied with a smile.
"You finish up love, all of it" he said to Jordan and gave her a wink.
Jordan hoping Woody didn't catch that nodded and took a sip of her juice.
