Secret Past

Chapter 16 – The Phone Call

Woody and Emily went home. He took her inside and fed her. Then he rocked her to sleep and put her down for a nap. Then he started doing dishes. He put on some coffee and decided to do some cleaning, while she slept. However, after about 20 minutes he decided to watch some television and ended up falling asleep. He woke up to the sound of his cell phone. "This is Hoyt," he said groggily.

"You made a big mistake," a strange voice said venomously.

"Who is this?"

"You'll find out. However, this time she dies." With that the phone clicked shut.

Woody was frantic and he dialed Garret's number. "Don't let Jordan leave the morgue," he screamed as soon as Garret answered.

"She just went out on call."

"Dammit."

"Where's the call?"

"Woody what is going on?"

"Where is the call?"

"Boston General. Please tell me what is going on."

Woody had clicked the phone shut and was now running upstairs. He put Emily into her car seat, grabbed her diaper bag and went running out to the car. He sped out of the driveway and down to the hospital. He ran inside and went up to a nurse. He flashed his badge and asked her if an ME had arrived yet. When he was told yes and that she had left for the crime scene, Woody started to panic. He ran back out to the car and drove to the morgue. He opened his phone and dialed Jordan's cell number. Jordan however, hadn't picked up. "Dammit."

When Woody arrived at the morgue, he asked if Jordan had come back yet. They said they hadn't seen her in the last hour. He asked for the crime scene but they said they had no idea. It was a call of Seely's. Woody tried Seely's cell.

"Seely."

"Matt, where's Jordan?"

"She's right here." Seely turned around. "Okay, she was right here. Jordan, Jordan," he called out. When he received no answer he put the phone back to his ear. "She's not here anymore. She was right here."

"Son of a bitch," Woody screamed. Emily started to cry. "It's okay honey," he said soothingly to the little baby. She cuddled into him. Garret and Nigel came running over. "Jordan's missing again." Woody told them. "I'm going out to the crime scene, Nige you want to come with me so you can process evidence?"

"Yeah sure mate," concern was etched across his face and laced throughout his voice.

Woody called Framus and told her the news. She said she'd come pick up Emily and take her back to Annette, then she'd come help Woody.

A/N: Sorry it's so short but I just changed my mind for the whole direction of this story.
