1995

''Oh, oh, now it's my fault again? I bring the money home and you are too lazy to go the shop and yet it is my fault that Justin doesn't have his cereal!?'' Hank Voight slammed the fridge shut again and looked at his wife.

''Oh yeah, you earn so much as an agent!'' Elena Voight turned around, upset and Hank crossed his arms.

''Maybe if you would start working while Justin is in school we would have more money, but you only complain and you do nothing all day long. You know I am working my ass off to become a detective and you only complain.'' He said upset.

He had met Elena in high school and they had had a happy marriage until Justin was born, ever since Justin was born, they only were fighting with each other, somehow. Justin was looking at his parents fighting from the children chair and he didn't want to upset his son. He was a little over one year old now and Hank was afraid he would be able to remember this. Hank left for the station and went to the DAE office. he was still an agent and not a detective, but he would meet the IC today, that only talked to him. She only talked to him, because of their special arrangement.

His paycheck was pretty meager and she only talked with him because he paid her. He knew that it was not allowed as a cop, but it was the only way he could get the information to become a detective and that was all he wanted. All he ever wanted.

Maybe Elena was right, he didn't bring much money in. A lot of money went to his IC, Erin Lindsay. But as soon as he was a detective, it would pay off. Being a dirty cop was the easiest way to work himself up.

''Erin, how are you?'' Hank asked as he sat down by the table in the interrogation room and gave the girl a small smile before wiping through his brown hair but she just shook her head.

''Let's not do this.''

But he couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. She was barely eighteen years old. She let it slip that it was her eighteenth birthday last week when he had seen her then. She was so young and there was nothing he could do for her to help her, as she refused all help.

''Did Trey do this to you?'' He asked worried as the right side of her face was bruised.''

''You know I am not here for that. '' Erin said, although she rubbed over her face for a second and Voight knew for sure that it was the dealer, it had been that asshole beating her up again. She had to whore herself out for homey, for the drugs, She had keep paying him for the drugs and only now he was paying her for being his IC, she could give him that money without having to sell her own body,

''There is a new shipping coming by container next week, new shipment for Trey. That's all I gotta say.'' She said as she held her hand out to him. Voight took his wallet from his jeans and grabbed money, handed it to her and as she left the room, he hoped it would be enough to safe her another beating.

Even when he went home after a long day of work he was still shivering because of Erin. He was worried, as she seemed to get beaten up more often lately. About one and half year ago, when she was barely sixteen she was arrested for the first time and because of the drugs and when they had asked her to be their IC, she had refused, saying that she would only do it if she got paid and she had said it as a joke, but when he had offered her actual money she had done it. Now he almost saw her once a week. He had offered her protection, rehab, but there was nothing she wanted, just the money so she could buy the drugs, which also guaranteed her safety.

Arriving home, Elena had just put dinner ont he table and he sat down.

''Hey little guy, hey little guy, how are you doing?'' He cooed to Justin and the boy laughed, reached out to his daddy and grabbed Hank's hair.

''I checked with the station what your paycheck should be and you are not bringing home all of it.'' Elena said then as they started eating the soup.

''I got my reasons.'' Hank said angry and Elena shook her head.

''What could be more important than your family?''

''Something you don't have to know!'' He said angry. ''I am going it to climb up the ladder, become a detective. For us!''

''I don't know Hank, but I don't know how much longer I am going to stay with you if you keep lying.'' Elena said then and she left the room.

Panting and limping, Erin Lindsay struggled, making her way through the street she had never thought she would go to out of her own will. Well, it was not like she was forced to go there before, nobody had ever forced her to go there, but Hank Voight had been the only policeman that had been willing to give her money and she could use that money to buy what she needed, the things to relief her pain. But now she was even more pain, he had even stabbed her. She didn't want to die...she didn't want to die!

Now she was in a lot of pain. Her dealer and boyfriend, Trey, had found out that she had been an IC as one of his friends had seen her leaving the station earlier today and she closed her eyes, thinking about the blows and hits she took, just a little ago.

She didn't want to go to station, but it was her only choice right now. Her only chance. She pressed her hand even harder against her side, where the stab wound was bleeding and she afraid she was going to bleed out.

She grabbed the rail, climbing up the steps and walked inside, slowly. The woman behind the desk stood up. Leaning against the desk, she realized blood was dripping from her lip and nose as well, onto the clean white papers on the desk.

''I need...I need Hank Voight...'' Erin Lindsay managed to stammer before falling to the floor.

NOTE: A prequel to the show! I hope you like the idea. I don't think we ever had any information on Voight's wife, except about her fate. But if you know any more details, please tell me and I forgot about a detail of Hank or Erin's past, please tell me too.

Thank you so much for reading the first chapter and please leave a review with what you thought. Do you think it was realistic and would you like the read more? Please tell me!
