Officer Greer had looked over at the car just as Clark was wrapping up his story. The doorman simply looked on with mild curiosity. "What are you doing?" He demanded with authority. "I'm Clark." He said sticking out his hand in a friendly gesture. Officer Greer ignored his hand and immediately started ushering him away from the car over to the sidewalk. He questioned him about what he was doing there and where he was tonight when Jordan was attacked. She just watched in silence not sure if she should speak up and remind the Officer that Clark had been in Andy's house tonight. After a few minutes she decided that it would not be a good idea since she could hear that Officer Greer was already giving Clark the third degree. "Would you mind telling me just what you thought you were doing over there?" "Jordan and I are acquainted. We were supposed to have dinner together this evening but as I see, something has gone terribly wrong." He stated glancing back at Jordan. "Yes, it has and I hope that there will be no further incidents." He glared at Clark.

Both men walked back to an empty police car and stopped in stunned silence. Neither of them had seen Jordan exit the car and walk past. Officer Greer sprang into action first. He put a call out on the radio that the Mackenzie girl was now missing for all units to be on the lookout for anyone fitting her description. He then checked out the passenger seat to see if anything had been left as a clue. All he found was the damp cloth she had used on her forehead to help keep down the waves of nausea. Officer Greer decided to check her hotel room first. When he knocked on the door and didn't receive an answer he had the doorman open the door for him. He checked the bathroom and living room first and then finally he saw her... stretched out across the bed sound asleep with the ice pack still fixed on the bump she had received earlier. His heart went out to her. Apparently she had gotten tired of waiting and just came upstairs by herself. Of course he thought who could blame her especially with a bump on the head this evening and the explosion this morning. He stood looking at her for a moment and then his shoulder radio crackled to life. She stirred at the sound and he quickly retreated from the room closing the door on his way.

Once out of her earshot he answered the incoming call. "I found her I'll give you guys the details at the station later. No she isn't hurt, but I think I'm going to stay here a bit just to make sure that no foul play is involved. Sure. You bet. No. My shift ends in a few hours so I guess I'll do it then. Okay 10-4" Clark had followed Officer Greer to Jordan's room more out of curiosity than anything. It would be hard for him to finish the job here with all of these people watching and with that cheeky Officer watching over her like some sick puppy. "How is she?" He asked Officer Greer as he sauntered into the room. "Fine, she's resting now so maybe you could come back at another time when she's feeling a little better." He walked to the couch and prepared to take a seat. "I think I will stay here a while just to make sure that she doesn't have any kind of problems." He rushed over to grab Clarks arm before he could seat himself. "That won't be necessary. I've been ordered to stay with her till the night shift comes in. I'm positive that she will be just fine and can give you a call in the morning." Clark was then ushered out the door by a very persistent and demanding Officer Greer. He was not in the mood to have his plans ruined by a cop so he decided that he would just come back when the next shift was to appear.
