Ever since Jordan's visit, Denny couldn't stop thinking about it. He had to keep her out of his way, he wasn't one for threatening a child, especially Hank's child he knew how that would end and it would end badly. All he knew is that he had to keep her out of his way. He called Adam to his car one afternoon.
The young officer was annoyed as he looked to the older man. "What do you want now?"
"I need you to get something from the evidence locker and plant it on Jordan".
"Woah I hope you don't mean Jordan as in Voight's kid".
"That's exactly who I mean".
"No. There's no way in hell I'm planting anything on her she's an innocent kid".
"Jordan isn't so innocent and you know it. She's gonna turn out to be just like her father. I know and you know it".
"I'm not doing it. Jordan is like my little sister, it's my job to protect her from people like you. All you see her as is a target to get to Voight. I won't let you hurt her".
"What about you're real sister and you're nephew? Is Jordan more important than them?"
"They're all important to me".
"If you don't do this Ruzek, not only will I have your sister arrested, your nephew will be in foster care, but I will also have Jordan removed from Hank's care. After all he is an unstable parent".
"Leave her out of this she's innocent. And Voight isn't an unstable parent, he's the best damn father Jordan has".
"If he's such a good father, why was she drinking under his roof? Why was she cutting? She cut school how many times? He could have gotten her off with just about anything. Not to mention the man was a dirty cop that right there is enough to prove my point".
"Don't you ever mention that again".
Adam was furious, they never mentioned Jordan's drinking or her cutting. It was a time they never mentioned, she turned to that after Justin died it was her way of coping with things. Once she got help for it everyone agreed to forget it and not bring it up.
"Jordan stuck her nose in something she shouldn't have".
"She's defending her father!"
"Either you handle this or I will and Ruzek, you don't want me to do it".
"I'm not gonna let you hurt my family at all. That includes Jordan, mess with her and I'll bury you".
"You just made a big mistake son".
"No you are. Leave Jordan alone, first and final warning".
After that Adam got out of the car slamming the door going to his car heading home, the whole time Denny was thinking. He had to get Jordan out of his way before she causes more trouble.
Meanwhile
Hank and Jordan was at home, the young teen was upset that her father had grounded her for lying and sneaking off to see Woods.
"Dad it's not fair". Jordan complained.
"Well next time don't lie or sneak off". Hank replied.
"I didn't necessarily lie".
The older father raised an eyebrow at his teen daughter. "Then what do you call it?"
The teen stayed silent not thinking of an excuse and Hank turned his back at finishing what he was doing.
"That's what I thought".
"I only did it to protect you dad, if I can't protect you who will?"
Sighing sadly he turned facing his little girl, her face now filled with sadness and pain he gently put his hands on her shoulders.
"Sweetheart, I told you it's not your job to protect me it's my job to protect you".
"I have to protect you dad. I have to. I lost you once and I'm not losing you again, I don't care who I have to stand up to. Woods, your bosses, all of them. We've lost mom, Justin, Olive and Daniel, and now Erin, I'm not losing you too daddy. I won't".
Hank pulled his daughter into a hug and held her tightly, he kissed her head. Jordan snuggled into his hold like she always did, she held onto her father for a good few minutes before he pulled her away he seen a couple of tears run down her cheeks and he wiped them away.
"Baby, I'm not going anywhere. You won't lose me. I'll always come home to you".
"What if you don't? Then what? I'll get put into the system and that won't go well for me".
"Jo if anything ever happened to me you'd go to Trudy, Mouch, Alvin and Meredith".
"I...I don't wanna lose you daddy".
Jordan wrapped her arms around her father's waist burying her face into his shirt, Hank held his little girl protectively.
"I'm right here sweetheart, I'm not going anywhere".
By the next day Hank dropped Jordan off at school, the entire time Denny was watching waiting for the teen to get out of her father's presence. He looked in the seat next to him to see a packed wrapped up, he had taken a kilo of coke and about 100 million dollars his only problem. How would he be able to plant it on her without her knowing it? He then had an idea, grabbing a plastic bag he put them in it wrapping it up securely and tightly.
He made sure Hank was gone before making his move, he went inside the school. He lied to the secretary saying Jordan left her lunch and he'd like to give it to her. Once classes were let out he found the young teen, Jordan was walking to her next class quickly so she wasn't late she accidentally bumped into someone. Her backpack dropped to the floor and everything spilled, Denny found this opportunity to plant it himself. He picked up her backpack and dropped the plastic bag and handed it to her. The teen looked up to see her father's former partner.
"Thanks. I guess". Jordan says.
"Jo, I know things got out of hand the other day and I just wanna say no hard feelings". Denny replied.
"As long as you leave my dad alone they're won't be anything between us".
"You're a good kid Jo, don't do anything to jeopardize it".
"Believe me I won't, my dad raised me right".
Jordan then took off for class as she was walking Denny looked on with a smirk, the teen had no clue what she was carrying in her backpack. He left the high school going to his car, once inside his car he pulled his phone out calling someone.
"Yeah this is Lieutenant Denny Woods, I have some information you want".
District 21
Adam was in the squad the entire time he managed to keep his cool, he was waiting for Hank to come in so he can tell him about what Woods is planning to do. It infuriated him, he wouldn't do anything to put Jordan in harm's way. How could Denny have him go that far just to get to Voight? He know understood why everyone was the way they were when it came to the teen.
A while later Hank had entered the District and headed up to the squad, it was a slow day so everyone was catching up with paperwork. Adam was tapping a pencil against his desk trying to keep himself entertained, he saw his boss go to his office. He waited a few minutes before getting up and heading there. Hank was sitting behind his desk, he was quickly broken out of his thoughts by Adam.
"Boss you got a sec". Adam spoke from the door.
"Yeah come in, shut the door". Hank replied.
The young officer entered the office and shut the door behind him, he sat down across from Hank. He took a couple of deep breaths.
"What is it Ruzek?"
"It's about Woods".
"What now?"
"Um he wanted me to get something from the evidence locker and plant it on Jo".
"What?!"
"Of course I told him no, I wouldn't do that to her. He said if I didn't my sister would go to jail, my nephew would go in the system and he...he'd have Jordan removed from your care saying you're an unstable parent. He would bring up Jo's drinking, the cutting, skipping school. He also said that Jo stuck her nose in something she shouldn't have".
By this point Hank was infuriated, he was ready to go kill Woods. First to plant something on his daughter to get her in trouble, then to bring up her drinking and cutting that was crossing a line. That hurt him when he saw his little girl like that when she hit rock bottom how she had to drink and cut just to cope and ease her pain. But to top it all off Woods was gonna make him out to be a unstable parent and was gonna get his daughter get taken from him. The only way his little girl was gonna get taken from him is his over his cold dead body and that wasn't gonna happen.
"I thought I should tell you, you had a right to know. Sarge, I would never ever in my life do anything to put Jo in harm's way like that".
"Did he say anything else?" Hank's voice had venom in it.
"Either I do it or he does and he said I won't like the way he does it. I don't know what he's planning boss if I did, I'd tell you".
Before Hank could talk his phone rang. "Voight….what?!...is she alright?...I'm on my way".
Slamming his phone down hard the older man got up from his chair getting his jacket on, Adam was confused but highly concerned. What was wrong? Was Jordan in trouble? Was she hurt?
"Boss what was that about?"
"Jordan was just arrested".
Meanwhile
Jordan was in the middle of her class when two patrol officers came in with a drug dog, she looked over to Theo with a confused look.
"What's going on?" She whispered.
"Rumors going around someone brought drugs into the school, don't know what though". Theo answered.
The officers walked through the classroom as the dog sniffed all the backpacks of the students. When the dog got to Jordan's backpack he went crazy which got the teen confused.
"Is this your bag?" One of the officers asked.
"Yeah". Jordan answered, a bit confused.
The officer picked it up and saw books, a binder, he then saw a black plastic bag he closed it then looked back to the teen.
"Let's go".
"I'm not going anywhere".
"Kid don't make this hard".
Not wanting to put up a fight Jordan went with the officers, once they were out of the classroom they handcuffed the teen.
"You're under arrest you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney if you can not afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I explained them to you". One of the officers says reading the teen her rights.
"I know my rights, what's this about?" Jordan snapped.
The officer holding her backpack pulled out the black plastic bag and showed her the drugs and money. Her eyes went wide. How'd that get in her bag? Who put it there?
"That's not mine".
"That's what they all say".
"You guys are making a mistake".
"Looks like you're the one who made a mistake".
If she could she'd slap the officer they walked her out of the school putting her in the back of the squad car. Denny watched as the teen was getting arrested, he was gonna make sure she stayed out of his way one way or another.
Once at the 27th District, Jordan was fingerprinted and had her mugshots taken. They then brought her down to where the cells were. She stopped dead in her tracks, she seen a few people in the cell all of them older than her. They were older, rougher, and a lot more dangerous, if it got out that Hank's her father who knows what'll happen.
"You can't put me in there". Jordan says, fear creeping up in her voice.
"You ain't got much of a choice kid".
She knew she may regret this but it had to come out. "Look you don't understand, my dad's on the job. He's a cop".
"And who might you're father be?"
"Sergeant Hank Voight. Intelligence, District 21". She tried to whisper it so no one hears it.
"We'll give him a call for now, enjoy your stay".
"No way, let me call my dad please".
"No can do".
"I'm entitled to a phone call, now let me call my dad. Now. I know my rights".
"You got two minutes then you're going in the cell".
He took her to a pay phone and she pulled a quarter out then dialed her father's cell phone.
Hank was speeding the down the streets when his phone started ringing, he saw it was an unknown number he answered it.
-Voight. Hank answered, his voice full of anger.
-Dad? Jordan replied.
-Jo, sweetheart are you alright?
-I'm fine, listen I don't have a lot of time. Someone planted drugs on me they aren't mine, they're about to put me in a cell with people. Dangerous people. Dad I'm scared.
-Where are you?
-District 27. Daddy you gotta hurry.
-I'll be right there baby, I promise.
-I love you.
-I love you too sweetheart. Be brave for me I know you can.
-I will. I promise.
After that the phone went out and Hank stepped on the gas pedal even harder.
Back at the other District, Jordan hung up the payphone and the officer escorted her back to the cell. The teen looked up at the officer with pleading eyes.
"Come on, I can't go in there. I won't be safe". Jordan pleaded.
"It's just until you're father comes".
"You don't get it, if they find out who knows what they'll do to me. Please, I'm asking you as part of my safety put me somewhere else".
"You'll be fine, as I said it's just until you're father picks you up".
He then put Jordan in the cell and closed it, little did anyone know Woods had this set up. The officer walked away.
"Come on man! Come back! You're making a mistake!" She yelled.
The officer ignored her as he walked back up the stairs. Jordan swallowed hard, normally she wasn't afraid of anything or anyone but in this case she was. She didn't know if these people knew her father or not all she knew if they did know him, she was in deep trouble. Fear filled her body she stayed far away as she could from the other people there.
She sat on the floor with her knees brought to her chest, the teen started thinking of ways to keep herself calm. One thing she did, she didn't look at any of the people.
"What are you in for honey?" One guy asked.
"Don't call me that". Jordan says almost snapping.
"Looks like we got a fighter in our mit boys". Another guys said.
The three guys began going over to her towering over her, Jordan stood up ready to fight. It was gonna be a fight she was gonna lose but she wasn't going down without a fight. She took a swing at one of the guys and he went down, they all then began to attack her.
Hank finally arrived to District 27 he rushed inside and saw the Desk Sergeant.
"Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my daughter Jordan Voight". Hank said, a bit of anger in his voice.
"Follow me". He said.
Jordan was sitting on the floor, her left eye was red, her lip was bleeding, she cradled her midsection as pain shot through it. Tears burned in her eyes but she refused to let them fall, not where she was. She whimpered in pain and agony that was the most she did, she held in her tears as long as she could, closing her eyes tightly she wished her father was there.
Hank was walking with the desk Sergeant till they got to the cell, when the older man seen his little girl on the floor bleeding, whimpering and whining in pain. That did it for him he ripped the key away the the other Sergeant and opened the door himself, storming in he went over to his baby.
"Jo, sweetheart are you alright?" Hank spoke softly.
The teen heard her father's ruff voice she opened her eyes to see him.
"Daddy". Jordan whimpered.
"Come on baby, let's get you out of here".
He carefully helped her up off the floor and helped her walk, they got back to the front area. Hank sat his little girl down on the bench, he was gonna go back and teach them assholes a thing or too. The teen saw the look in her father's eyes and knew what it meant.
"Dad, they aren't worth it. Don't do it". Jordan's voice was weak.
"Jo they're gonna pay for what they did to you".
"And they will just not today, I just wanna go home".
"Alright but first I'm taking you to Med to get checked out".
"I'm fine".
"I'll believe it when I hear it from one of them".
Hank then drove his daughter to the hospital and after a quick trip, her midsection was wrapped tightly, she had a cut on her lip. Jordan looked over at her father she didn't know if he would believe her or not.
"Dad those aren't my drugs you gotta believe me, I don't even use. You raised me better than that".
"I believe you honey".
"I just...wait could he have done it?"
"Who?"
"Woods he was at my school today he said no hard feelings for the other day when I went to his office".
"How'd he get them in your backpack?"
"He could have slipped it in when it fell on the floor".
Jordan bit her lip to keep herself from crying, she wouldn't be in this mess if she had just stayed out of it. "I'm so sorry dad".
"Sweetheart you have nothing to be sorry for, this wasn't your fault".
"You told me to stay out of it and look what happened, would you be surprised if he set all this up? Me getting arrested and jumped? He knows you have enemies dad, he could have paid them anything to do it think about it".
Hank didn't have to think about it because he knew that's what Denny would do just to get under his skin and he was gonna get him back. After arriving home Hank gave his daughter a pain killer and sent her to her room to rest, he called Adam over to watch him while he ran an "errand".
Denny was in his office reading something, a moment later Hank stormed in. His eyes full of anger and fury, rage filled his body, he was close to snapping.
"Can I help you with something Hank?" Denny asked.
"You have the balls to set my daughter up?!" Hank yelled.
"What would give you that idea?"
Hank was clenching his fist ready to just swing and knock Woods out of the chair.
"Denny there are many lines you don't wanna cross with me, messing with Jordan that's the number one line you don't cross. You planted drugs and money on her so she get arrested, you had her jumped in jail".
Woods got up from his chair and moved to Hank getting in his face. "Prove it".
"This is your first and only warning. Stay the hell away from my daughter, if anything happens to Jordan from this point on I'm coming for you and believe me I will take you down. One way or another".
After that Hank left the office before he ended up getting physical, he was out of ear shot when Denny had said something.
"This is just the beginning".
