Nigel's POV
He watched the uniformed cops comb through her office like vultures. Matt Seely ran his hand over his face and looked away.
"They're knee deep in Hoyt's desk right now." He whispered to Nigel. "'Her Majesty of Scorn' is over seeing it herself." Nigel rolled her eyes. "I mean you'd think he shot her dog. Two weeks and she thinks they're married or something."
"It's Woody's fault." Nigel mused shaking his head back and forth. "I don't know what he was thinking."
"He wasn't thinking with the top half of his body that's for sure." Seely shook his head. He glanced back at the team and tried to look disappointed. "There's nothing here!" He shouted over the crowd. "Lets go."
Nigel moved out of his way, as Matt was nodding goodbye.
"They find anything?" Lily said softly coming up behind him.
"There's nothing to find." Nigel grinned. "Not that Seely was looking too hard." Lily smiled nudging him. "They are long gone by now."
"Are you going to tell me how you got them out of here?" She giggled. He raised and eyebrow a her suspiciously.
"I don't know if you can be trusted." He teased. "I hear you're in bed with the district attorney's office." She slapped him in the arm, grinning again. "I hear things."
"Do you think they'll be back before.." She moved her thumb along the edge of her engagement ring. He smiled sadly at her.
"I'm not sure, Luv." He told her. "If I know them, they'll try everything to be." She nodded at him, slipping her arm around his elbow.
"How can they possibly think she did this?" Lily whispered. "I mean Jordan would never kill anyone. Not even a monster like him."
"You and I know that. But think. If she got a kill someone for free card, and could give it to anyone, who would be better suited?" Lily sighed. "She had more than a motive. It was personal, about her and Woody, everything they've been through this year would have never happened if it wasn't for him."
Nigel watched her nod slowly before giving him a curious look.
"Nige? She didn't-."
"It wasn't my job to ask, Lily." He told her honestly. "It was my job to get them the hell out of here." He raised an eyebrow at her before patting her hand and walking away.
Seely's POV
"This is ridiculous." Matt shook his head, watching Lu Simmons rummage through the stacks of files she'd tossed onto Woody's desk. "What are you trying to accomplish?"
"He's breaking the law!" She hissed at him.
"Yeah. For her. It's killing you, isn't it?" He smirked.
"Look, this is clearly and emotional issue for him. He can't be held responsible for his actions. The best way to help him is to bring him home."
"To you?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "Right? I mean that's what this is really about isn't it?"
"You think this is personal? A man is dead." She shook her blonde head at him.
"Look Lulu." Matt sneered. "A bad man is dead"
"That makes it okay?" She stood up and met his eyes. "What is it with this woman that makes people fight to the death for her."
"She fights to the death for us." He told her honestly. "She'd do anything for him. Anything."
"So it's okay to murder someone as long as you do it for love?" She smirked.
"I never said I thought she killed him. I actually don't think she did it." He shrugged his shoulder at her. "Hell, if she did hats off to her."
"You have got to be kidding me!"
"He killed four cops Simmons." Matt moved in on her, getting close enough to feel her breath on his lips. "He almost killed the man she loves. A man you supposedly have feelings for. He escaped from custody twice now. He alluded police for eight weeks the first time. He wasn't some innocent kid!" He dropped back from her. "He was a monster. More power to her if she actually did it."
Lu Simmons clenched her jaw. Matt grinned, this had nothing to do with the murder and everything to do with Hoyt.
"No one in this precinct is going to let you railroad Jordan because she stole her boyfriend back from you." He laughed at her angry face, as he reached down and put Woody's files back in his drawer. Turning the key in the lock before putting it in his pocket. "No one."
