It wasn't long after Jordan collapsed that a young doctor made his way down the hall looking for Woody and Garret. When he entered the waiting room to find Garret leaning against the wall sipping on a cup of coffee and Woody sitting with his head in his hands, both men looked up when the door opened.

"Detective Hoyt, Dr. Macy?" the doctor asked. Woody stood from his seat and he and Garret approached the doctor.

"I am Dr. Richards, I have been Ms. Cavanaugh attending physician in the ER this evening. Her collapse was apparently related to the stress from the past few days along with a somewhat severe case of dehydration. We have her hooked up to IV's to push fluids back in her system along with a mild sedative to help her relax and sleep. She is in and out but she is asking for the two of you. I would like to keep her tonight and tomorrow. Follow me and I'll take you to see her."

Woody and Garret simply nodded and followed the doctor to Jordan's room.

Woody stopped just before entering her room and took several deep breaths. Garret again placed his hand on his shoulder and said "She needs you, you have to be her strength, keep it together". All he could do was smile the littlest of smiles and shake his head in agreement.

Jordan was awake when they walked in she shot them a typical Jordan smile, they both knew it had to be the drugs. Garret approached the side of her bed first, "Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm as well as can be expected, I'm just so tired, what on earth are they giving me, I feel like I've been drunk for a week." Garret smiled and laughed a little.

"It's just something to help you relax and get a little sleep" Garret them stepped away from her and motioned for Woody.

Woody had only made it about three steps in the room before he stopped. The wires, tubes, and the beeping of the monitors scared the life out of him. When Garret motioned for him he slowly made is way to her bedside, he put his hands in his jacket pockets to try and hide the fact that his hands were shaking.

"There's my knight in shinning armor" Jordan spoke as she reached up and placed her hand on his arm, her eyes were full of tears.

Woody warmly smiled down at her trying to think of something to say. He finally squeezed out a "Hey, Jo" before looking away. He was looking for Dr Macy to save him from this moment because he knew he was going to breakdown, but he was gone.

He took a deep breath and reached behind him finding the chair and sat down next to her bed. Pulling his hands free from his pockets he reached out and laced his fingers with Jordan outstretched hand. He still couldn't look her in the eyes, he just looked their hands till he leaned over and kissed her hand and laded his head on top of them.

Jordan was totally puzzled by his actions, 'why won't he look at me' she thought to herself. She reached across her body and ran her fingers thru his hair, "Wood, is everything ok?"

He kissed her hand again and nuzzled his face against her hand as he spoke "No worries, Jo, just get some sleep, I'll still be here in the morning there will be plenty of time to talk then."

She agreed, she did need some rest but for the life of her she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. It wasn't long before she dozed off. Woody looked up at her when he thought she was asleep. Tears began falling down his cheeks, he tried to choke them back but it was too late. He laid his head back down and just cryed himself to sleep holding her hand.
