Andy was sitting on the couch waiting for her to return when he noticed the briefcase sitting next to the television stand. He wondered what she did for a living that would require her to bring her work on vacation with her. "I'll ask her when she returns," he thought to himself. There were so many things that he wanted to say to her but he was not sure how much of it she were willing to hear. It was obvious that she had been through something traumatic by the way she was reacting to him in general. Andy planned to get to the bottom of whatever was troubling her and also who was trying to hurt her. He was certain about that creep Clark but who had hired him to do this was the question. Andy's thoughts were interrupted by Jordan entering the room with a smile on her face. Well I'm happy to see that you are smiling now. By the way have I told you how sexy and beautiful you look in that dress?" Slightly shocked at his bold statement Jordan smiled appreciatively. For the first time since his arrival she noticed the bandage covering a wound above his right eye. The blood had already started to soak through and his face looked a bit pale and strained. "Thank you." She stammered. "What happened to your head?" A frown creased her brow as she looked at it a bit closer. She had been so angry by his presence and the kiss that she had not taken the time to really look at him. "A piece of metal caught me in the head when I pushed you down." He had bruises along his arms and side of his face."That looks very deep. Has a doctor looked at that yet?" He gave her a sheepish grin. "No. Like you say I am a wanted man." Her frown deepened. "If you weren't trying to kill me then why didn't you just stick around and tell the police everything that you knew?" He let out a breath as he rose. "I called out to you but you never heard me. So I got up and walked out of the alley after you and then began looking to find the guy responsible." Concern and intrigue kept her from being terrified. "Who was it?" She asked. For a long moment Jordan and Andy stared into each other's eyes. She longed to have Andy hold her again but was not completely convinced that he had nothing to do with the explosion. In a low voice Jordan heard herself say "Wait right here."
