Five years later.. Las Vegas, Navada

Jordan's POV

Five years later.. Las Vegas, Navada

He and Dannywere at a stand off when she came around the corner insearch of her husband.

"I don't care what you say. They're is no proof Danny.. No proof." The former detective rolled his eyes into the back of his head.

"Guess what Inspector Gadget? We aren't cops. We don't need proof." Danny countered swatting at Woody's shoulder.

"So we just get to tap dance on everyones civil rights because you have a feeling?" Woody shoved him back a little. Jordan rolled her eyes. Here they go again, it was like the fifth time this week.

"This is my casino Hoy-."

Oh shit. Jordan felt her heart contract. Danny had been slipping up too much lately.

"BOYS! BOYS!" Jordan yelled at the top of her lungs as both men spun around to meet her. She glared meaningfully at Danny. He hung his head.

"Shit! Sorry. When I get pissed-."

Her husband looked confused, before rolling his eyes in realization.

"You did it again?"

"What? You don't even notice when I do it. And I only do it when we argue."

"And that never happens. Come one Danny-." Jordan rolled her eyes and started to say something when she caught sight of the boss wandering into the room.

"Which is why JACK here is in charge of hotel security and you are incharge of the casino." Ed says loudly from the door way. "So what's the problem?"

"Crossover." They mumbled.

"We've got a thing with people getting buzzed into the hotel who don't belong there. It's happend three times this week. The codes are coming from Casino employees." Woody explained.

"Which makes it my problem. It's my casino." Danny hissed.

"It's my hotel!"

"Actually it's my hotel and my casino." Ed said slowly.

Both men looked down and Jordan crossed the floor and put her hand on Woody's arm.

"Can the alpha male thing rest for the night? It's my aniversary and I finally found a babysitter who is not a black jack dealer or pole dancer."

"Who?"

"Sam." She waited.

"Samantha is watching our children?" Woody squeeked.

"It's almost bed time." Jordan laughed. "Which means its way past dinner time.."

"Yeah.. you two get out of here. I'm sorry I.. you know with the name thing...You'd think after five years I'd.."

"I mess up all the time." Jordan mumbled looking remorsefully at her husband.

"Pronouns. I use a lot of pronouns." Woody snickered.

"Now.. She and I are going out." Jordan shook her head at him. "And Danny, it's a casino problem more than a hotel problem.. let me know if you want my help.. until then you can be the lone alpha."

"Thanks Jack. Happy aniversry Amy." He stressed his use of their first names with a nod as Jordan pulled her husband out towards the ballroom.

"Five years is a long time." Woody whispered in her ear. "It seems like.."

"Another life ago." She told him before pushing the door to the dance club open. "Still think you made the right choice, Farm Boy?"

"Are you happy?" He asked her moving his face closer so she could hear him over the crowd. She nodded at him biting the edge of her lip in a sly smile. "Then I'm sure I made the right choice."

"Dance with me?" She breathed.

"How can I refuse." He pulled her close to him before swinging her away again. "Good Song." He looked meaningfully at her. "Very us."

This Love

I was so high I did not recognize

The fire burning in her eyes

The chaos that controlled my mind

Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane

Never to return again But always in my heart

This love has taken it's toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite

Keep her coming every night

So hard to keep her satisfied

Kept playing love like it was just a game

Pretending to feel the same

Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken it's toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things Repair your broken wings

And make sure everything's alright

My pressure on her hips

Sinking my fingertips

Into every inch of you

Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken it's toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice cause

I won't say goodbye anymore

They danced. Oblvious to what was happening upstairs.

Sam's POV

In their suite where Sam had been trying to remember what had made her decide she was capable of watching two small children, someone rang the door bell.

She ploped Ellie into the play pen and glanced over to where Andrew sat in footy pajama's with his train set before wandering towards the door.

She looked through the peephole and scrunched her eyes up at the bell hop out side the door before pulling it open.

"I didn't order anything." She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I'm looking for the Hoyts?" He said glancing down at the order in front of him.

"They're not here. I'm babysitting." She muttered absently before she felt a rush of cold shoot through her body.

The Hoyts.

She made a move to close the door but he was already too far in to the room. He knocked her unconcious before she could even scream.
