This chapter fast forwards a bit to when the case is solved. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time on it since it's not the focus. I hope it's not too scattered.

This is the end. And it will be my last story...at least until season six starts. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed!

Chapter Five: The Truth

She was cleared. Jordan breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. Between Woody and the morgue crew, they had found enough evidence against the Judge to get the D.A. to drop the charges. And then Jordan had worked with everyone to get the rest of the evidence.

Now the real killer was known…JD would have justice, and Jordan would be free.

"Hey, Jordan. How's it going?"

Jordan looked up from the candle she was lighting. She was back in St. Inez, and Paul had just come up beside her.

"It's good, Paul," she said, smiling. "Really good."

They sat in a pew near the candles and Jordan told him the story. She had kept him up-to-date in general during the whole ordeal, but now she gave him all the details. When she finished, Paul hugged her.

"I'm glad everything has worked out," he said.

Jordan nodded, but had a far away look in her eyes. When Paul prodded her, she confessed, "I wish JD were still here." Tears filled her eyes, and for the first time Jordan let them fall. "I had to find the truth for him."

Paul let Jordan cry on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," she said when she had composed herself enough to talk. "I didn't mean to…I didn't even come here for that."

He squeezed her shoulders. "Why did you come?" he asked softly.

"I wanted to thank you…and God…I guess your prayers worked."

Paul grinned. "Don't mention it."

She smiled back. "Oh," she said. "And I wanted to tell you…I've decided that I do have enough faith for a whole seed."

Paul laughed at this. "Of course you do!"

He walked her up to the front doors of the church. "One more thing, Jordan," he said.

"Yeah?"

"I know that you are very passionate about the truth," he started. Jordan nodded. "You know, God is truth. So if you get to know Him…then you'll be surrounded by it."

On the next bright Sunday morning, the bell rang just as Jordan walked up the steps to the church. She had thought about Paul's words a lot that week. She decided that if God really was truth, then He could stand up to an investigation. Church seemed the most logical place to start.

Paul caught her eye just a mass was starting, and smiled at her. She smiled back, and then focused her attention on the priest.

He began, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…"

"Amen."
