A/N : the end is near...
please review :-)
(I still only own the characters you've never heard about.)
While Nigel was waiting for the DNA test, Woody went outside of the room and was talking on the phone. Nigel tried to spy him through the window. For what he saw, he could tell that it wasn't a happy conversation, but most likely an argument. Woody came back hanging his cell off and looking quite exasperated.
"Troubles in paradise?"
"Yeah. No matches yet?"
"Nope. But you can tell me."
"About what?" Woody asked innocently."
"Ehm, your paradise." Nigel answered him. Woody gave him another innocent look. "Oh come on! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Tatiana."
"Tallulah."
"See, you know what I'm talking about. So…"
Woody sighed. If Nigel knew, everyone would know tomorrow and he didn't want that. But on the other hand he would appreciate someone to listen to him. "You're not going to report that to anyone." Nigel mimed as if he was zipping his mouth. "Okay. It's not going so well between me and Lu. At the beginning it was great but now… it seems we have to disagree on everything. And…"
"And Jordan."
"What?"
"I saw how you looked at her. You still have feeling for her, don't you?"
"Wh… mmh…" All he managed to do was blushing.
"I knew it." Nigel was smiling.

"Jack Sullivan. Strangled with a rope." Bug pointed to the rope that was still around the victim's neck. "I don't think the killer wanted to let it on the crime scene, see, he or she tried to take it off but it stuck with the victim's chain. You can see that the killer tried to take it off so hard that it rasps his hands. There's blood on the rope. I'd say he dies no more than an hour ago." Bug paused before he added. "Ann was in custody during the murder, do you still think she did it?"
"She could have paid someone to do it while she was building an alibi in your company. It's by pure chance if she was at the police station."
Bug rolled his eyes. What could make her change her mind? "The killer should have scratches on his hands, here and here." He showed her on his hands. "I'll run a DNA test for the blood, but I want DNA samples of all these doctors."
--------------
"Hey guys, what did you found while I was outside?"
"Hey Jordan. We found a hair and the DNA comparison is still running, though I think it should be finished soon. How's Lily?"
"She'll be okay, thanks Nige. So… it seemed you were having an interesting conversation before I came in." She looked at Nigel but Woody answered first.
"Nothing. Nothing important. We were just… talking."
"Yes, I noticed that. And I also noticed you're still a bad liar."
He was saved from answering by the bipping sound of the computer.
"Oh my God!"
"Nigel? What is it?" Jordan went being him. "Oh my God!"
"What?" Woody felt left behind.
"It's a perfect match. The undead and the burnt correspond at 100."
--------------
"Back to the beginning. What did we miss?" Woody, Jordan and Nigel were where the undead had been found. "So… he was laying here…" Woody was reading his notes. "Oh wait. These boxes weren't like that when I found him."
Nigel pushed the boxes Woody had pointed and it revealed a hiding place big enough to contain a body. "Jordan… Are you thinking the same thing as I do?"
"Yes."
Once again, Woody didn't understood what they were talking about. "Can you explain?"
"Monozygotic eggs."
"Nige, English please."
"Twins. The undead and the burnt are twins, they have the same DNA."
"Twins…" He repeated, not understand what their theory was.
"Yeah, twins." Jordan added. "They decided to settle a little spectacle. One dies and suddenly he' alive again."
"The… nun?" Woody slowly understood.
"Yeah, if Jordan's correct, she is accomplice."
"That's what I think. They wanted do attract people in their sect so they invented this to make people believe that the nun had resuscitated the man." Jordan started her explanation.
Nigel expressed her thought. "Only I doubt the dead one agreed…"
"So, the hair is our best bet to link all this." Now Woody had a clear idea of what happened.
--------------
"I hate when we have to wait for evidence that may not be what we hope it is."
"Woodrow, stop walking, you're giving me a headache." Nigel teased his friend. "And when I have a headache I don't remember the promises I made." Woody sat immediately. Jordan watched the two of them, smiling. But she had to admit there was one she watched more… Woody… But Woody is seeing someone. Damn, why was he always able to melt my heart?
"We have a match. Elena Richard." Nigel announced. Woody jumped from his seat to see the photo.
"It's not the nun, she was much older." His hopes began to fall.
"Wait a minute." Now it was Jordan who was staring at the screen. "I've already seen that woman."
