The lobby was crowded with patient check-ins and visitors leaving for lunch. They exited the hospital undetected staying with the rest of the lunch crowd people. They weaved in and out of the cars, moving slowly so as not to draw attention to themselves. Neither of them spoke till they reached Andy's jeep. He opened the door and helped her get inside. She gasped as she slid into the seat. Her body ached and fresh blood soaked the already blood-stained jeans she wore. Her leg had apparently sustained more trauma than it could handle and was oozing. The bandage was still in place with blood soaking through on one side. Andy closed the door and rounded the car in a few long strides. Safely inside he turned to Jordan as he put the car into gear. "Are you sure you're all right?" Jordan smiled weakly. Physically I'm fine never felt better; emotionally I don't think I ever even had a chance." Andy smiled at her. "You are one heck of a lady Ms. Jordan Mackenzie." She smiled back at him as he pulled the car into the hospital traffic. "I'll gladly feel the same way about you if you'll just get us both out of here alive. Without another word Andy maneuvered the jeep through the light traffic toward Jordan's hotel. When he was on the highway he finally spoke again. "How about if we head out for dinner after you get cleaned up?" He asked glancing at her sideways." "I'm not sure I feel up to it. I'll let you know after I get this yuck off me and into a nice hot bath." She answered as she stared blankly out the window. "I'm sorry Jordan that was not fair of me. Here you've been kidnapped twice in the past twenty-four hours and I'm asking you to go to dinner. We will order in tonight. I'm sorry can you forgive me please?" Andy gave a pitiful look accompanied by a heart-stopping smile. She smiled back idiotically because that was all she could do. This man had an effect on her like no one else ever had. She was always in control; never losing her posture no matter what the circumstances. Now here she was trying to escape a madman and his goons with Andy at her side. She hated to admit it but she rather liked the fact that Andy was there. She had been alone far too long and Cody was starting to forget what it meant for there to be two parents. She just wouldn't tell Alex any of this yet. She'd been after Jordan to date for months now but this would make her buy a bulletproof plastic bubble and shove her in it.
