Jordan woke to the sound of her heart monitor. One of the nurses wrote down the information and saw Jordan awake. She smiled sweetly.
"You have a strong group of friends Miss Cavanaugh." The nurse pointed to her room.
Jordan saw everyone from the morgue sitting in her room. Each one asleep. Jordan smiled at seeing Nigel on the floor, sleeping against the chair Garrett was sleeping in. Lilly and Bug were asleep in the chairs to Jordan's left.
"I hope you don't mind. They were very quiet since we let them in." The nurse explained.
"No, I don't mind at all." Jordan whispered. Her voice didn't sound any better.
Suddenly Jordan felt someone squeeze her right hand. Jordan realized Woody asleep next to her. He was lying on the bars of her hospital bed, his arm through one of the gaps, holding her hand.
Jordan couldn't help but smile. She could only imagine the hell they had all been put through. She gave a small squeeze back.
Woody awoke. He looked at Jordan and sat up quickly. He smiled at her, holding her hand. "Hey."
Jordan returned the smiled, "Sorry I woke you."
Woody laughed lightly, "How're you feeling?"
Jordan attempted to shrug. Woody placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her from moving.
"Stupid question. You got shot, how good are you supposed to feel?" Woody stated.
"Don't you start beating yourself over this Woody." Jordan said.
"Jordan you got shot because I wasn't paying attention. You nearly died there on the docks." Woody explained.
"But I didn't. I'm alive right now because you made the call." Jordan replied.
Woody was silent. He had a look of grief and guilt in his eyes. He turned his head, unable to look at Jordan anymore.
"Woody. Woody look at me." Jordan ordered in her straining voice.
Woody turned his head. Jordan gave his hand a squeeze.
"If you hadn't come for me, I would've been as good as dead. So I was shot, it was bound to happen at some point in this job-" Jordan stopped as her voice gave out. She coughed for a moment.
"Alright no more talking Jordan." Woody said.
Jordan smiled and nodded. Woody gave her hand a squeeze and kissed it. He held her hand in both of his.
Jordan swallowed, hoping to use the last of her voice, "Woody."
"Jordan don't-"
"I love you." Jordan whispered.
Woody stared at her, speechless. He smiled and lightly kissed her forehead. Woody stroked Jordan's hair while interlacing his fingers with hers. "I love you too."
