The sound of a heart monitor woke Jordan. Her eyes opened slowly. Her brain acknowledged the fact that she was lying somewhere new. Most likely the hospital. Jordan shifted slightly, causing pain to shoot through her chest. Jordan inhaled sharply and stopped moving.

"Miss Cavanaugh?" a nurse asked. She quickly checked Jordan and left the room.

The nurse returned with a doctor, "Miss Cavanaugh my name is Dr. Johnson. How're you feeling today?"

"What happened?" Jordan hardly recognized her voice.

"The bullet was extremely close to your heart. We couldn't find your father to tell us whether we should remove the bullet or not. One of your colleagues made the choice, which probably saved your life." Dr. Johnson explained.

"Who made the choice?" Jordan asked. She needed to know who made the call for her.

"I believe it was a Detective." Johnson replied.

"Yes Doctor, a Detective-"

"Hoyt. Woody Hoyt." Jordan whispered.

"Yes, that was his name." the nurse replied. "He's out in the hall right now, along with your other colleagues, would you like company?"

Jordan shook her head lightly, "Not yet. Tell them I…I just want to spend a few hours alone."

The nurse nodded and left.

Johnson turned to Jordan, "You've got quite a bunch of colleagues. I don't think my colleagues would drop everything and run to my aid."

Jordan smiled, "We're like a family."

Johnson nodded, "Well Miss Cavanaugh, if you're going to be alone, I suggest you use this time to rest."

Jordan didn't even reply. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

The doctor walked out of her room, greeted by her colleagues.

"Hoe is she?" Woody asked.

"Well, she's conscious, which is a very good sign in her situation." Johnson explained.

"Can we see her?" Lilly asked.

"She ahs asked for a few hours to herself." Johnson answered. He then excused himself.

Woody looked at Lily, "I thought Jordan would love to have us here. Why would she-"

"Woody, I'm sure there's a reason why Jordan wants to be alone right now. Remember she was shot. Maybe Jordan has a few things to think over." Lily suggested.

Woody nodded. He turned his head towards Jordan's room. Woody walked to the window, Lily stood beside him. The two stared at Jordan sleeping in her room. Lily placed a comforting hand on Woody's shoulder.

"She's gonna pull through Woody." Lily said.

Woody simply stared at Jordan.
