A/N : Okay, this chapter is a little shorter but I didn't want to change its end...

I still own only the characters you've never heard about

And I still love reviews ;-)

"My money on the brunette."

"Excuse me, detective?" Bug raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sure Cherlley did it. She acted strangely… like if she had something to hide. Go back to the lab and find evidences. I'll do some investigations on her." And Lu let Bug alone. Ann… he didn't noticed anything in her behavior. Well, truth is, he couldn't say 'no' to a beautiful pair of eyes and hers were amazing.

--------------

While they were washing their hands, Jordan, Nigel and Bug were talking about Lu.

"You know," Bug said, "she's really getting on my nerve. I'm about to commit a crime."

"You? Bug, you have the patience of a saint. Is she really that bad?" Jordan was rather amused.

"I don't know… she's all smile and carrying with people, but me… well, let's say I haven't the golden ticket with her. I feel like she doesn't like me at all. And Ann neither."

"Ann?" Two pairs of eyes were staring at him. He stopped washing, looked at each of them, blushed and scrapped his arms harder.

The door opened and Lu came in. "Hey."

The three turned their heads to see who it was and answered at the same time, emotionless, "Hey", before they all faced the wash-basin and scrapped harder.

"Don't hurry, I have all my time." Lu said sarcastically.

"Speaking of the witch…" Nigel said just loud enough so only Bug and Jordan would hear it.

Soon after, Woody entered the room. "Nigel? Jordan? I kind of need you, guys." And as he saw Lu, he added, "hey, sweetheart."

"He meant 'smart-ass'." Bug used the same level of voice as Nigel. They all agreed with him.

Then Nigel spoke with his normal voice. "Okay, done, Woody. I'm coming. (to Bug) We'll let you with your favorite detective, sweetheart." He gave a slap to Bug's shoulder and moved toward Woody, then Bug answered.

"You're a smart-ass too."

"Oh, come on, Buggles, you know you love me." Nigel was completely laughing.

"Jordan?" Woody asked again.

"I'm coming, I've almost finished. Go ahead." As a proof, she showed him her soaped hands.

Woody and Nigel left the room. Lu was getting bored. "Does this really have to take so much time? Woody and I are waiting."

Woody and I… Woody and Lu… Jordan exchanged an exasperated look with Bug. "Smart-ass." She said.

Lily put her most beautiful dress and spent at least ten times what she usually needed to get ready for a date. When she had finished she looked at herself in the mirror. Then she reminded Bug's comment the day before… smile. She tried her best, but the image in the mirror refused to follow her. The doorbell rang. It was probably Jeffrey. She sighed and opened the door to her boyfriend.

One hour later they were eating with Jeffrey's parents. Lily was making everything she could to give them a good impression. But they kept belittling her. It seems that nothing was good enough for their son… or most likely not good enough for them. And Jeffrey did nothing to defend her, like if he didn't dare to contest his mother.

"See, I don't think you've made enough studies… The more you study the more you get paid on your job. Of course, where you're coming from you may not have such preoccupation." The mother didn't let her a chance.

"I did studies. I like my job. No matter how much I earn, I do what I love. And that is what's important for me." She then stood up. "Mrs. Brandau, Mr. Brandau. I've had enough. I don't care if I fit the person you wish for your son because everything seems to be inadequate for you. All I care about is that I fit in Jeffrey's eyes. Goodbye."

"Lily…" Jeffrey tried to add something but she was already leaving. After looking at his parents who gave him a 'where did you find that?' look, he put his napkin on the table and went to find Lily. They didn't come back to the table.

--------------

When Jordan and Woody were alone, she finally asked him. "So… You and Lu, uh?"

"Yeah," And, seeing she looked disappointed, he added, "does it bother you?"

"Oh, no, it's okay… as long as you're happy."

He nodded, "Because I don't need your approval, Jordan. And God knows I tried hard to be with you but you pushed me away."

"Woody…" She bit her lips. "I know I've made mistakes in my life, sometimes I wish I could get back and fix all of them, but I can't, and…" She forced her tears back. "…and now that my life seems to come back in order, I realize what I did."

"Jordan…" Now he was the one disappointed.

"Woody. I miss you. I miss the time when we could tell everything to each other, the time we could dance together. I will wait… if one day you miss that too…"

"Jordan…"

"Hey guys," Nigel came into the room. "The facial reconstitution of the burnt body is done, you're not going to believe what you'll see."
