Moving On Chapter 10, a chicago pd fanfic

A few days have passed and Jordan was able to go home, Will had often checked on her to make sure she was stable. Ever since Jordan's been home Hank was watching her like a hawk to make sure she was alright, if she was even in the slightest pain he'd get her pain meds.

When she was strong enough Hank had to take her to the State's Attorney's office so they can start getting prepped, Jordan was ready to get this over with so she can move past this. The father and daughter arrived at the office to meet Peter and Anna.

"Hank how are you". Peter greets the older man.

"Peter, Anna good to see you again". Hank greeted the attorneys.

"Hi Mr. Stone, Ms. Valdez". Jordan said kindly.

"Hello Jo". Petter says with a smile.

"Hi Jo". Anna said next.

"Let's go to the office and discuss this".

The went to the conference room Hank had a gentle hand on Jordan's shoulder the whole time. Jordan felt her heart race a little as she was feeling nervous but she knew one thing for sure once the trail was over what happened could finally be forgotten about. Everyone sat down at the conference table Hank sat next to his daughter, Peter and Anna sat across from the father and daughter.

"Alright Jo we're gonna start from the beginning about what happened, if it gets to be too much we'll stop and have a break". Anna says to the teen.

"I'm ready". Jordan replied.

"Go ahead".

After taking a deep breath the teen started. "One day there was a note on my front door saying my dad will pay for what he's done after that more notes started popping up on my locker at school and my house I was ready to finally go to him or someone on the team but I didn't".

"Why is that?" Peter asked.

"One of the notes said if I told my dad or anyone on my dad's team they'll kill me and go after them, I figured if I didn't say anything I'd be protecting all of us".

"When did feel like you were being followed?"

"Around the time the notes started popping up, at first I thought it was two guys from school because they were picking on me".

"What happened the day you were shot?"

Jordan then felt her heart race faster in his chest, she bit on her bottom lip and closed her eyes tightly blocking the tears. Hank saw the look and knew it was already beginning to overwhelm her.

"Sweetheart we can take a quick break if you want". Hank said.

"I'm fine dad, just needed a minute". Jordan replied. She then took a deep breath and continued. "I was walking to the district but I stopped at the store on fifth street, I go there maybe once or twice a week. I text my dad to tell him I was on my way then I text my ex boyfriend, Derek to tell him where I was he sometimes walks with me but he stayed after school longer than I did. After i texted Derek I went in the store and got a soda and some chips then when I left I felt someone grab my arm and drag me to an alley". She then started to choke on a sob. "They threw me down and started to kick me I tried to fight back but the person was too strong he kicked me a few more times then I saw him pull something from his back pocket it was a gun, I begged him not to shoot me but he did then I think he said something I can't be too sure".

"Do you remember what it was that was said?" Anna asked.

"My dad will pay for what he's done. After that there was a bang noise and I fell on the ground holding my stomach, I could barely focus. I heard someone saying hold on the paramedics were coming then i was in and out of it for a while next thing I know everything's black. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital".

"Jo now we're gonna talk about what happened when you got to the safe house". Peter said.

"My dad, Erin, Kim, and Sean were with me I was pretty out of it because of my chemo, they took me inside and I wanted to rest. My dad and Erin got a lead on the suspects so they had to leave, Kim and Sean were downstairs I was asleep in the room when I heard a noise. I woke up to see two guys in the room one of them said get me and I ran one of them caught me so I kicked him and he let me go I ran down the steps calling out for Kim and Sean, the guys ran out the back and Sean chased them while Kim stayed with me".

"Can you tell what happened before and after the car accident?"

"I was at 51, Derek wouldn't leave me alone and I wanted to get some air so I figured a drive wouldn't hurt. We drove for a bit as we were driving there a crash I hit my head but not too hard, two guys came around to my side and dragged me out of the car they brought me to their car and put me inside and drove off. We got to a house and I told them to let me go they said no, I told them I'm sick but they didn't believe me I must have passed out because I woke up on a mattress in the basement".

The whole time his daughter was talking Hank felt his blood boiling as anger, fury and rage filled his body, he was ready to call in a favor but for the moment he let the anger melt away.

"How long were you in the basement?" Peter asked.

"About a day, day and a half I think. I'm not too sure it was always dark".

"What happened while you were in the basement?"

"After I woke up the first thing I checked to see was if they took my phone and they didn't so I called Erin and talked to her then my dad I tried to give them anything that could help but my phone died. The guys came to check on me and they were recording me probably to give proof of life to my dad, I ended up going off on them which made one of them smack me. They tied me to a chair so I wouldn't escape".

"Would they ever see you or check on you?"

"Yeah. They would bring me water and a granola bar so I wouldn't starve or dehydrate. The first time I tried to escape but it didn't work out".

"What happened".

"I told him I had to use the bathroom so he cut the tape on my ankles, I got up from the chair and went for the stairs I saw a tire iron and my first instinct was to grab it and hit him with him once he was done I Ran up the steps only to get caught by the other guy. He was so pissed because I dropped him. After that they left me tied up to a chair when they fed me they never untied me".

"What happened when Drew Jacobs was murdered?"

"Um I was in the basement my dad had called saying he had the guy's brother, it happened after that. He came back in the house they were talking then….then bang. After that he dragged the body down the stairs he was looking for something I heard him moving around a lot and once he found whatever is he was looking for he came to me taking the mask off my head looking me in the eye. He said as soon as my dad gave him the money he would let me go he may not let me go".

Hank was getting more and more pissed by the second he was ready to go to the bathroom and make one call but he let all that go for the time being.

"I thought Jacob's death was my fault, for weeks I thought it was my fault he was killed".

"Why would you think that Jo?" Anna asked.

"I pinned the two guys against each other saying how the other was gonna take all the money and leave town with it. I really didn't expect for him to get killed".

"Jo I can assure you what happened wasn't your fault". Peter said.

"So what happens now?"

"When the trail happens I'm gonna ask you some questions as will the defense, the judge is aware of your condition so if anything begins to get too much for you we'll stop".

"I'm ready".

Once that was finished Hank and Jordan headed to the District, during the drive Hank noticed his daughter was really quiet.

"Jo, you ok sweetheart?" Hank asked, glancing over at her.

"I'm ok dad". Jordan replied.

"It's ok if you're not alright, what you're going through right now it's not easy for anyone especially someone in your condition".

The teen knew her father was right, deep down she was terrified about being in court and facing her captors. Jordan just didn't know how to tell her father.

"I-I'...I'm scared dad, I know I have to do but I'm just scared and nervous. I don't think I can face them again in court".

"It's alright to feel scared sweetheart it's normal when you have to do something like this, just know you will never be alone in this".

"I just want this to be over with once and for all".

The rest of the drive to the District was quiet between the father and daughter, they finally arrived heading inside and up to the squad. Platt saw the look on her goddaughter's face and knew she was upset about the upcoming trial. Hank and Jordan went up to the squad and without saying a word to anyone Jordan went straight to her father's office closing the door, the team then looked over at their boss.

"Is Jo ok?" Jay asked from his desk.

"She's scared about the trail". Hank answered.

"Is there anything we can do?" Adam asked.

"Be there for her, I don't want her doing what she did before".

When Hank found out his daughter turned to cutting and booze to ease her pain it killed him on the inside, the day Erin called from the hospital he broke every traffic law to get there. As soon as he saw his little girl in the hospital her wrist wrapped up and to see her sobering up killed him, he never knew how much pain she was in after Justin died. After that he kept a real close eye on her to make sure she didn't try it again, Hank made sure to keep an eye on her.

Erin then got up from her desk and went to see her sister, Jordan was laying on her father's couch listening to her music she was slowly scratching her arms at the old scars on her arm. The older woman went over and gently took a hold of the teen's hands grabbing her attention.

"Hey Erin". Jordan says, not looking at her.

"Hey you ok?" Erin replied.

"Yes and no".

"What's wrong honey".

"The trail, I don't know if I can face those guys in court. Erin I-I'm scared I don't know if I can".

Erin heard the fear and worry coming from her sister's voice she gently wrapped her arms around the teen hugging her. "Don't worry Jordy, you don't have to be scared anymore we won't let nothing happen to you".

"I don't know if I can do it though Erin, sit on that stand and face them".

"When you're on the stand don't pay them any mind just look at me, you're father, or any of us. Pretend they don't exist for that time".

"I'm ready. And I'm ready to end this once and for all".

"That's the spirit".

Hank was outside the room and heard everything then smiled.

The next couple of weeks flew right by and soon it was the day of the trail, Jordan was wearing a blue dress shirt and black dress pants with flats, her hair was up in a high ponytail. She was standing next to her father in the hallway of the courtroom along with everyone. The teen felt her heart racing as she began to get nervous.

"You'll do great Jo". Adam says.

"Thanks Adam". Jordan replies with a smile.

"You ready sweetheart?" Hank asked his daughter.

"I'm ready as I'll ever be".

"Hank were ready". Peter said.

"Let's do this".

Everyone piled into the courtroom, the Intelligence team along with Platt and Mouch were there so were Antonio and Nagel, Matt and Gabby, Kelly, and Brett. Jordan sat next to her father and gripped his arm.

After a moment court was in session, Peter stood from his chair. "You're honor the people call Jordan Voight to the stand".

When Jordan heard that she gripped her father's arm tighter and he wrapped his arm around her kissing her temple, he then whispered something in her ear. "You got this sweetheart".

She nodded and got up from her spot going to the stand, once she was sworn in the teen looked over at the defense table to see Charlie, Marcus, Aiden, Jon, Caleb, and Bunny. The teen then looked over to see her family.

"Hi Jo". Peter says.

"Hi". Jordan replied.

"Jo, how did you first meet the defendants?"

"I know Bunny because she's Erin's mom so I've seen her around a couple of time. I saw the others when they kidnapped me and held me hostage".

"Can you explain from the beginning what happened".

"One day there was a note on my front door saying my dad will pay for what he's done after that more notes started popping up on my locker at school and my house I was ready to finally go to him or someone on the team but I didn't".

"Why is that?"

"One of the notes said if I told my dad or anyone on my dad's team they'll kill me and go after them, I figured if I didn't say anything I'd be protecting all of us".

"When did feel like you were being followed?"

"Around the time the notes started popping up, at first I thought it was two guys from school because they were picking on me".

"What happened the day you were shot?"

Jordan then felt her heart race faster in his chest, she bit on her bottom lip and closed her eyes tightly blocking the tears. Hank saw the look and knew it was already beginning to overwhelm her. Peter also saw the look on her face he went and got her a small cup of water bringing it to her.

"Take your time Jo".

"I was walking to the district but I stopped at the store on fifth street, I go there maybe once or twice a week. I text my dad to tell him I was on my way then I text my ex boyfriend, Derek to tell him where I was he sometimes walks with me but he stayed after school longer than I did. After i texted Derek I went in the store and got a soda and some chips then when I left I felt someone grab my arm and drag me to an alley". She then started to choke on a sob. "They threw me down and started to kick me I tried to fight back but the person was too strong he kicked me a few more times then I saw him pull something from his back pocket it was a gun, I begged him not to shoot me but he did then I think he said something I can't be too sure".

"Do you remember what it was that was said?"

"Jo now we're gonna talk about what happened when you got to the safe house". Peter said.

"Can you tell what happened before and after the car accident?"

"How long were you in the basement?"

"About a day, day and a half I think. I'm not too sure it was always dark".

"What happened while you were in the basement?"

"Would they ever see you or check on you?"

"Yeah. They would bring me water and a granola bar so I wouldn't starve or dehydrate. The first time I tried to escape but it didn't work out".

"What happened".

"What happened when Drew Jacobs was murdered?"

"The people rest your honor".

Just then the defense lawyer got up from his chair going towards Jordan.

"Hi Jordan". He said.

"Hi, you can call me Jo".

"Alright Jo. Being the daughter of a police Sergeant you must always be aware of your surroundings am I right?"

"Yeah, all the time".

He held a small remote in his hand and turned the tv on, showing pictures from when Charlie was stalking her. Fear and worry took over her when she saw all those pictures she was speechless, how could she have known this?

"So Jo, if you always aware of you're surroundings how could you have not known you were being stalked for almost four years?"

"I was a kid in those pictures I didn't think I was being stalked".

"When you were in the house with Jacobs and Parker, did you ever say anything to them when they saw you?"

"Yeah".

"What was it you said?"

"I told them how my dad and his team were gonna find them and end them once and for all. I pinned them against each other".

"What does that mean you pinned them against each other?"

"I told them how the other was gonna take all the money and skip town with it".

"How'd you know what to say in a situation like that?"

"My dad's a police Sergeant, I was raised around cops my entire life. Some of my family are detectives".

"The day you were shot, did you see any of the defendants?"

"No they attacked me from behind and had a hood over their face".

"So how do you know it was one of them?"

"I heard his voice".

"But how could you be so sure it was one of them? Like you said whoever it was got you from behind".

"And I heard his voice when he said my father will pay for what he's done".

"Based off your words you're always aware of your surroundings which you're not, you pinned two of them men against each other and that resulted in Jacobs death, and you're not even sure who attacked you. Are you even telling the truth? For all we know you could be lying just to put these innocent people in jail".

"I'm not lying!"

"Objection!" Peter called out.

"Sustained. Move it along".

"Jo do you know Charlie Pugliese?"

"I've seen him a couple times when I was 12".

"Are you aware that you're father and Detective Lindsay know him?"

"I guess, who they know doesn't involve me. My father doesn't bring his work home".

"Could you be lying for your father and Detective Lindsay just to put him away?"

"What? No. I told you I'm not lying! What reason would I have to lie? You don't know what I went through during that time nobody does! I was locked in a basement tied to a chair slowly dying, I heard a guy get killed, I was locked in a storage unit I thought I was gonna die. After all the hell I was put through why would I lie about any of that? All you're doing is defending a bunch of criminals. You don't know what it's like to be kidnapped, held hostage, close to death, until you do know what it's like don't you dare accuse me of lying. I know what I saw and what I heard you weren't there so you can't say jack about any of it".

"Order in the court!" The judge says slamming the gavel.

Jordan was furious now she knew why her father didn't like defense attorneys. Peter saw the look on the teen's face and raised from his seat. "Your honor may I call a recess".

"We will take a 15 minute recess". The judge said.

Once court was dismissed for the recess Jordan got up from the seat and stormed out of the courtroom, she went to the nearest women's bathroom and looked in the mirror at her reflection. Erin then went inside to see her sister.

"I see why dad hates defense attorneys". Jordan said.

"Yeah some of them can be like that, but Jordy you did great on the stand I haven't seen someone do that ever". Erin replied.

"Until someone goes through that nobody knows what it's like so they can't say jack shit about it all they can do is hear and talk about what happened".

"You're absolutely right".

"After all the hell I was put through why would I lie? How could I even make up a lie like that?"

"Some lawyers are like that sweetie they wanna twist everything around and make it look like you're the liar and who their defending are innocent".

"They shouldn't do that".

"I agree with you".

After a moment the girls left the bathroom and Jordan went to her father hugging him. "I hate defense lawyers now". She said into his shirt.

"I do too sweetheart".

"Screw him, I know what happened I was there. I know what I saw and what I heard".

"That's all that matters sweetheart".

The recess was over and court was back in session this time Jon was on the stand.

"Mr. Ryder, when you took this job did you know that Jordan was the daughter of a police Sergeant?" Peter asked.

"No way if I hadn't known I wouldn't have taken the job".

"Have you heard of Hank Voight?"

"Of course who hasn't? If I had known it was his kid I would have told Charlie to piss off".

"But you still took the job on even after finding out Jordan being the daughter of Sergeant Voight".

"I did it for the money I was hoping after I got the money I was gonna use it to skip town before he found out".

"What was your role in the plan?"

"I was hired to grab her if the others couldn't do it".

Once Peter was finished the desene lawyer didn't have no questions for him, Charlie was then on the stand he looked over at Jordan and gave her a small smirk. Jordan swallowed hard and gripped her father's arm and leaned against him, it was taking all of Hank's strength not to hop over the bench and beat Charlie to a pulp.

Charlie's lawyer got up first and went towards him.

"Mr. Pugliese, how do you know Jordan Voight?" His lawyer asked.

"I know her father and Detective Lindsay, I knew that she was Sergeant Voight's daughter".

"Did you wanna use her as leverage against Sergeant Voight?"

"Yes I did".

"Why is that?"

"He drove me out of my city, away from my home and my son".

"Was it you who attacked Jordan and then shot her?"

"Yes, I did it to send a message to her father. You're past always finds a way to haunt you".

His lawyer was finished and Peter got up. "You admitted to attacking and shooting Jordan, was it you who also stalked her for almost four years?"

"Yes".

"So you went after Jordan to get back at her father because he drove you out of the city and away from your son".

"Yes. I wanted him to suffer the way I had to when I was away from my son".

"Why hide the fact that Jordan was the daughter of a police Sergeant and not just any police Sergeant but Voight?"

"If I said that nobody would take the job so I kept that small detail quiet, they would have found out eventually".

After Charlie got off the stand it was time for the verdict. Jordan was starting to get more nervous, it was the moment of truth she gripped her father's arm tighter just as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

"On the sole count attempted murder in the first degree how do you find?" The judge says to the head juror.

"We find the defendants….guilty".

"On the sole count kidnapping in the first degree how do you find?"

"We find the defendants….guilty".

"On the count of stalking in the first degree how do you find?"

"We find the defendants...guilty".

After that court was adjourned, Jordan was relieved she was finally able to moved forward she turned and hugged her father tightly.

"It's over, it's finally over". Jordan whispered.

"It's finally over sweetheart". Hank says.

"We should go celebrate". Erin said.

Before they left the courthouse Hank excused himself to go to the bathroom a guard was there for Charlie he assured him that everything was gonna be fine. Charlie was washing his hands when he saw Hank behind him.

"Hello Hank". Charlie greeted him.

Without saying a word Hank put Charlie in a choke hold for a moment. "Never again mess with me or my daughter, I'm the wrong father to piss off when it comes to my I gotta do".

"Don't...worry...Hank...I'll be...back".

"The hell you will".

He released Charlie and left the bathroom going back to his daughter. When Jordan saw her father she hugged him tightly as he wrapped his arms around her. "Let's go home sweetheart".

A/N: The story isn't over there will be more.
