Thoughts are in italics

Nigel walked into Lu's office and approached her. "Were you really all that surprised by Woody and Jordan" asked Nigel. She shouldn't be. Woody and Jordan had wanted to jump each other for 4 years.

"You want honesty, Yeah I was surprised" said Lu. She was so stupid to believe that Woody wanted her. She went in there with blinders on like Nigel had said earlier and she was just realizing it.

"I know how insensitive this will sound and I'm going to apologize in advance, But you have had to been pretty bloody stupid to not see anything between Woody and Jordan. Honestly, you should have picked up on it as soon as they were in the same room together. They give off this vibe like even though they weren't romantically involved you know that they want to be, you can tell that they could be if they put their pride aside. So when they finally did I wasn't all that surprised and the fact that you were well I'd be a bit frightened if I were you, love. You lack common sense" said Nigel

"Did you come all the way down here to rapidly insult me because if you did I can tell you in advance that I am not interested in standing here while you tell me how stupid I am" said Lu

"Actually, I came to do quite the opposite" said Nigel. He did not want to insult her, in all reality he was beginning to like her and this banter they had going.

"The opposite of insulting me is complimenting me and that remains to be seen" said Lu.

"Okay, well you are really pretty" said Nigel. How was that for a compliment. not very good of one. Maybe you should jump to the chase. Yes, good idea man just spit it out.

"Thank you, I think" said Lu. He doesn't think I know that he is nervous. But I can tell.

"Look would you maybe want to go out sometime for a drink" asked Nigel. I am going to get turned down. I can tell. You should have played it like you were the most confidant cocky medical examiner there is. Not that she would have bought that.

What do I say here? Should I say yes and hope that everything goes well. I did just make the humongous mistake of semi-falling for someone who wasn't over someone else. "Sure, I would love to grab a drink sometime. I will tell you though I can't hold my liquor for anything. One or two drinks and I'm past gone" Lu laughed

She said yes. "We will see" said Nigel

Bug and Lily had been working non-stop forever and when they finally got a minute alone they were going to enjoy it...or so they thought.

"Bug, do you think that Jordan is alright" asked Lily. She was scared out of her mind that Jordan was hurt or worse.

"She is fine, I am sure that she will turn up and say that she just turned her phone off because she wanted some alone time or something" said Bug. I know that she's worried but is this the way we really want to spend what little time we are getting to ourselves.

"It just doesn't make sense though. She never turns her phone off—ever. I remember awhile ago I asked her if she was one of those people who turned their phone off when they were going to sleep or out or something and she told me she always keeps it turned on because in her words "things tend to happen and everyone needs me" said Lily. I can't believe I am doing this. Spending our time thinking and worrying about Jordan. He is probably pretty angry.

"Lily, are you telling me that Jordan never turns her phone off and now we can't reach her on it? That it's just going straight to voicemail?" asked Bug. This is not good.

"That is exactly what I am telling you" said Lily. This is really not like Jordan. I know something has to be wrong.

Bug kissed Lily and then jolted up. "Alright, you try her cell phone again and call anywhere she might be. I am going to get back to work on the girl and see if there are any clues as to where she might have been killed or something. Maybe if Jordan is missing it will help us find her" he said.

"Okay, I'm on it. I just hope everything is okay" said Lily. This morgue doesn't need anymore tragedy than we experience everyday.

"Me too, Lily" said Bug

Woody was getting a little worried. He hadn't heard from Jordan for hours and it wasn't like her not to pickup the phone. He kept trying to call her and nothing. So he decided to call the morgue and see if maybe she was there and just uncharacteristically not answering her cell phone.

"Boston Morgue, How can I help you" said Lily into the phone. Maybe it's Jordan.

"Lily, it's Woody. I was just wondering if Jordan was there or if you had seen her recently" said Woody. I just hope Lily has seen her.

"No, I haven't seen her and she's not here. Bug and I have been trying to find her. But she isn't answering her cell phone and she hasn't come in to fill us all in on the developments she may have found which is weird" said Lily. She can't be in too much trouble.

"So no-one has seen her lately? Lily, I'm worried. It has been hours since I have heard from her. It's not like her to not call" said Woody.

"We're worried too, Woody. Look, Bug is trying to find out where the girl was murdered and maybe that will lead us to finding Jordan" said Lily. I hope to god it does.

"I will check around and see if maybe someone saw her around here. Please, call me when Bug finds something" said Woody hanging up.

Lily put down the receiver and sighed. I hope when I call him back its with good news and not bad.

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

Woody went to search for Jordan. He started out by making the rounds at the police station. He wasn't sure if anyone had seen her but he needed to check. He sort of dreaded going to ask Lu but he knew that there was a possibility that she had seen Jordan.

Woody knocked on the office door and walked in

"Lu, have you seen Jordan anywhere" asked Woody

Lu stopped the conversation her and Nigel were having and said "No, I haven't seen her and hopefully I won't have to" said Lu. Even though the signs were there the girl was still bitter.

"Look, It's important. I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't think she was in trouble" said Woody. This is so not the time to be having this conversation.

Lu thought about Jordan being in danger and she didn't want her being hurt because of her resentment over the fact that Woody wanted Jordan and not her.

"I honestly haven't seen her" said Lu

Then Nigel came out from behind the door. "But I have seen her" said Nigel. She could be in trouble? Then again when isn't Jordan in trouble?

"Where did you see her?" asked Woody.

"I saw her here" said Nigel. He had seen her when he was standing outside the office.

"What happened?" he asked

"Nothing, I just told her that the girl was already dead on impact and that she was murdered. Someone tossed her in front or ran her down with Dr.Macy's car. Then she told me to call Bug and check in and she said that she was going to figure this out. That is all I know" said Nigel.

"She said she was going to figure it out, well then we are in for some trouble" said Woody worriedly

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

Meanwhile Lily Henderson and Kelsey had beaten Jordan almost to death. She was pretty much near the end of her rope. If someone didn't find Jordan soon, she would be dead. The only problem was she was in the trunk of their car and no-one knew where to find her.

"You think they will come looking for the girl" asked Kelsey

"I am counting on it" said Lily evily

Coming up
