Secret Past

Chapter 17 - Surprise

Jordan came around the corner. "Hey Seely."

"Jordan where the hell were you?"

"I went over to the coffee shop to ask if anyone saw anything."

"You could tell me."

"Why are you so worried?"

"Jordan don't just disappear. You were just kidnapped yesterday."

"Well you know what they say, lightning doesn't strike twice."

"Very funny."

"I'm ready to go back to the morgue now."

"You might want to call Woody."

"Why?"

"He called and he thinks your missing."

"Why does everyone worry so much?"

"Because you were kidnapped yesterday and I know for a fact that wasn't the first time."

"You are overreacting and I don't have a phone, mine got smashed yesterday when I was kidnapped."

"Oh yeah, here you can use mine." Jordan took his phone and dialed Woody's number.

"This is Hoyt."

"Hey Woods, filed a missing persons report yet?"

"Jordan where the hell are you?"

"With Seely."

"What?"

"He thought I was kidnapped when I went across the street to the coffee shop. Apparently I am not aloud to go anywhere myself."

"Jordan please come back to the morgue right away."

"I was planning on it. I hope I don't get kidnapped between here and the morgue."

"It's not funny Jordan."

"It's kind of a little funny."

"No, it's not."

"Why are you so grumpy?"

"Please come here and I will explain everything to you."

"All right, I'll be there in about 10 minutes." Jordan hung up the phone and handed it to Seely.

"I'll send the autopsy report over to the precinct later."

"Okay Jordan, see you later."

Jordan drove back to the morgue, still smiling about Woody freaking out. She couldn't wait to hear the excuse. She pulled into the parking lot and got out of her car. She shut the door and started walking towards the elevator. That's when she heard it. Somebody cocked a gun and pressed the barrel roughly against the back of her head. "Surprise, well, well, well, Dr. Cavanaugh. You just keep getting yourself into a little pickle now don't you."

The accent was obvious. "Come on turn around now and come with me to my car. Your boyfriend thought I would leave you alone, what an idiot. I hear you married him too. Too bad you have to leave him now."

The gunshots deafened Jordan as Framus and Woody pumped him full of lead. Jordan turned around to see JD lying face down on the pavement in a pool of his own blood. Woody pulled her against him and Framus checked the body for vitals. "He's dead," she said emotionlessly, as if she was talking about washing dishes. "Why don't you guys go inside and send someone out."

Woody nodded and led Jordan inside. They told Lily and Garret what had happened as soon as they got off the elevator. As soon as Lily hugged Jordan, Jordan started to cry. All of her past with JD went flashing through her mind. Woody held her tighter.
