Looks for Jordan an Abby...

“Where’s Jordan…?” Stella asked as she saw Mac shutting the door while Jethro and Danny stood in the hallway. When the three of them said nothing she walked down the stairs. “Will one of you bright sparks start talking?” She folded her arms and gave Jethro one of his own glares.
“She wanted to be dropped off at the lab to start working on the case.” Jethro calmly stated.
“What case?” She looked quizzically at Mac. “Taylor!” She said impatiently. Mac’s hands went for his pockets while he walked over to Stella.
“Danny and I baited her back to New York with a faked case.” He looked down holding back a part of their plan. Danny leaned back against the door.
“Crap!” Danny cursed. “We should have seen that coming.” He sighed.
“The lot of you are knuckleheads from the heart!” Stella groused as they heard Sadie cry upstairs. “She’s avoiding them.” She pointed her finger up the stairs.
“Knowing Jordan she’ll probably convince Flack to leave his apartment to her so she can crawl into her shell again.” Mac concluded.
“Any other good ideas?” Jethro rolled his eyes and sat on the stairs.
“We’re gonna make her crawl out of it.” Stella said determined. “Who’s at the lab, Mac?”
“Sheldon and Sid.” Mac replied. “Why?”
“Danny, you call Flack and tell him not to fall for any of Jordan’s tricks in case she contacts him.” Danny got up and reached for his phone. “Mac, I need you to get in touch with Sheldon. Tell him to keep her occupied with whatever evidence, doesn’t matter what.” Mac took his orders from his wife and went to the living room and made the call to Sheldon. Stella took out her own cell and dialled a number.
“What’s your plan?” Jethro asked.
“Sid…” She held her finger up for Jethro to wait. “I need you stand-by with Jordan. She’s at the lab.” She informed him. “I’m coming over with Sadie.” She hung up after Sid told her that he would be there.
“Have you lost it, Stella?” Jethro followed her upstairs. “All hell could break loose.”
“It can’t get worse than it already is.” Stella picked up Sadie and handed her over to Jethro. He gently took the baby and softly patted her back.
“At least tell me what you’re up to!” Jethro demanded.
“You’re gonna cry for mummy, aren’t you?” Stella then wiggled her brows and took the pacifier from Sadie’s mouth. The baby girl immediately started to cry…
