Jordan was on the floor as blood was coming from her head, the teen was barely conscious.
"K….Kev…A…Adam…help". Jordan slurred.
Kevin and Adam were walking around since they couldn't find Jordan, all of a sudden they both got a gut feeling something was really wrong. They turned down the hallway where the teen's cell was when they turned and saw Jordan on the floor half conscious and blood coming from her head they rushed over to her.
"Jordan!" Adam yelled.
They got by her and Kevin gently took her head he felt something warm and wet on his hand and fingers, he looked to see her blood now covering his hand.
"We gotta get her out of here". Kevin spoke shakily.
"Jo, come on sweetie wake up". Adam says, taping her cheeks.
The teen could barely focus, her eyes were getting heavier and heavier.
"H…hurts". Jordan whimpers.
"Come on sweetheart get up".
"Mhm…tired".
"No Jo, you gotta stay awake for us kiddo. Stay awake".
"D….d…daddy".
Adam scooped the teen up cradling her to his chest, the whole time her blood was covering his clothes. Kevin was in front of them rushing to get out of the center. Jordan was still trying to focus but it was getting harder and harder.
"A…Adam….m sorry…didn't mean it". She slurred.
"It's not your fault sweetie, I should have protected you better". Adam spoke softly.
"Hurts".
"It's gonna be ok".
Jordan kept fighting closing her eyes but they kept growing heavier by the minute. Adam freaked out when he saw her eyes closing.
"No Jo, you gotta stay awake honey".
"C…can't".
"Yes you can I know you can".
"F….five".
"Five what honey?"
"Five".
"Kev step on it".
Kevin pressed his foot down on the gas pedal going faster, when Adam looked to his partner Jordan had shut her eyes and he looked back at her horrified.
"Jordan, sweetheart? Jo! Wake up sweetie come on wake up". He was taping her cheeks.
He checked her pulse and it was weak but steady.
"How is she?" Kevin asked.
"Pulse is weak but steady".
"We're almost there".
"Come on Jo, wake up sweetie come on wake up you gotta wake up now". Adam says as he tapped her cheeks.
A moment later they arrived to Med, Kevin got out quickly and opened the door he tried to get the teen out of Adam's hold.
"Let me get her man". Kevin tells his partner.
"I got her". Adam replies shakily.
"Adam, I'll get her".
Kevin then took a hold of his boss's daughter and rushed her inside while Adam was frozen where he stood. Was Jordan alright? Would she live? Would she die? He looked to see her blood covering his clothes with a shaky hand he pulled his phone out and dialed Jay.
"Jay, something happened. It's Jo".
Kevin was in the hospital, Maggie had seen him carrying in Jordan.
"I need some help here!" Kevin yelled.
"Dr. Choi!" Maggie calls for one of the doctors.
"On it. What do we got'. Ethan spoke quickly.
"Jordan Voight, head injury lost consciousness in the car been down a couple of minutes maybe". Kevin informed the doctor.
"I got her, have you contacted her father yet?"
"Not yet".
"Detective, Jordan is in good hands go call her father we got her".
The detective looked to the teen with a saddened look. "You'll be alright Jo, you'll get through this".
Her monitors then began going crazy. Which caused Kevin to freak.
"Hey what's going on?"
"BPs dropping!" April says.
"Let's get her up for a head CT so we know what we're dealing with". Dr. Choi spoke.
Jordan was rushed out the room and to the elevators while Kevin watched helplessly.
Meanwhile
Hank didn't know what else to do so he headed to Denny's house. He hoped if he confessed to the murder Jordan wouldn't be tried. He got to the house and struggled to get up the steps, he then knocked. Denny opened the door to see his former partner there.
"Hank come in". Denny says.
"I need to talk to you". Hank said.
"You want the charges dropped against Jordan".
"Denny, you and I both know she didn't kill that bastard".
"And how would you know that?"
"Because I know my daughter, yeah Jordan has a temper but she wouldn't resort to murder".
"What are you doing here Hank?"
"Let's say hypothetically I confess to killing the son of a bitch who killed my son. How I hunted Bingham like a dog, made him dig his own grave, and shot him. I say that on record I want all charges dropped on Jordan even the bogus ones".
"Deal".
"I also want Jordan released tonight".
"I'll see what I can do".
Hank knew he couldn't let his little girl take the fall for his crime, while Denny was setting up his phone was vibrating he ignored it the first time. His phone wouldn't stop vibrating so he checked it.
-Jo's in the hospital its bad. Get here now! Erin.
The older man felt his heart drop to his gut he then left quickly getting to the hospital.
Chicago Med
Jordan was getting test done the entire time Adam and Kevin were waiting. They had informed the team and they were on there way. Kevin looked to his partner.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Kevin asked.
"I remember the first time I met Jo, she was the sweetest little girl. She's like the little sister I never had". Adam replies.
*Flashback*
12 year old, Jordan was rushing in the District. Her backpack hanging off her shoulder wide open she kept looking back behind her when she got inside she wasn't paying attention when she bumped into someone and her stuff from her backpack was everywhere.
"Sorry, guess I wasn't paying attention". Jordan says.
"It's alright, let me help you with that". Adam replies.
The young girl looked up at him and smiled.
"You must be Adam Ruzek, the new guy".
"I am and you are".
"My name's Jordan but everyone calls me Jo".
"Nice to meet you Jo, you need some help with something?"
"I'm good, I wanted to see if my dad was in".
"You're dad's a cop?"
"Yup he works in Intelligence".
"Really? Who's your dad?"
"Ruzek you coming or what?" Hank says coming up the steps.
"Hi daddy". Jordan greeted her father.
"Hey sweetie". Hank hugged his daughter.
The older Sergeant then looked to his new officer. "Ruzek, I see you met my daughter Jordan".
"I did we just met". Adam said.
Hank quickly looked back to his daughter. "Jo you'll be staying with Trudy while we work alright. If you need anything I'm right upstairs".
"Ok dad".
He kissed her head and she kissed his cheek, Hank then went up to the squad. Adam was speechless he had a feeling that Hank had a child but wasn't sure, the young girl chuckled looking at the officer's face.
"I get that look sometimes, he won't bite you're head off or chew you out".
"What's it like having him for a dad?"
"He's the best dad ever he can be a little overprotective but all dads are like that".
"My dad's like that. So you got any brothers or sisters?"
"I have one older brother, Justin. He's in jail right now but they said he should come home soon hopefully. Then Erin she's practically like my sister, she's known me since I was two".
"That's pretty cool".
"You should go I don't want you to get in trouble".
"I won't get in trouble".
Jordan chuckled. "You don't know my dad quite yet. It was nice meeting you Adam".
"You too Jo".
*Back to reality*
"She was always a sweet kid, never hurt a fly". Adam said.
"Back when Kim and I were on patrol, sometimes we'd watch Jo while Voight and you guys were in the field. Platt always told us if anything happened to Jordan while she was with us we didn't have to worry about Voight, we'd have to worry about her". Kevin says.
"Don't forget about Al, as soon as I met Jo, I told him right away and he made it clear to me. If I were ever watching her keep my eyes on her and never let her out of my sight because if I did he'd kick my ass".
Before Kevin could speak the whole team came rushing in, they saw that Adam and Kevin's clothes were still covered in the teen's blood.
"Where's Jordan?" Jay asked.
"They rushed her up for tests". Kevin answered.
"What happened? What the hell happened!" Alvin yells.
"Al calm down". Antonio said to him calmly.
"No! I won't calm down! That's my goddaughter getting tests done! So I'm gonna ask again what the hell happened".
"We were doing our patrols we went to look for Jo, we found her by her cell. She….she had blood coming from her head so whoever jumped her bashed her head against the wall". Adam explains.
"All you had to do was watch and protect her. That's all you had to do!"
"Let's all relax right now". Hailey said.
Alvin looked at Adam. "I told you from day one, if you're watching her nothing else matters but her. All you had to do was watch and protect her".
"Al let's walk". Jay said.
He walked away with the older detective, Adam and Kevin understood his anger and frustration they wondered if Hank would act the same way. Kim saw the look on their faces and went to them.
"It wasn't either of you're faults, ok. Al's just upset we all are". She tells the two men.
Adam zoned out he kept thinking of what Jordan meant when she said five. Antonio saw his face.
"What's up man". Antonio spoke.
"In the car Jordan said five". Adam answers.
"Five people jumped her". Erin realized.
"So we find the five punks and talk to them".
Before something else could be said Hank had went to his team, a worried and saddened look on his face.
"Where is she? Where's Jo?" Hank asked worriedly.
"Hank she's getting test done right now". Erin tells him.
He looked to his detectives, a glare now on his face. "What happened. All I told you to do was watch her! How hard is it to watch a 15 year old!"
"Were sorry Sarge". Kevin said.
"What happened".
"We were doing our patrol and going to check on Jo, we found her by her cell. She was bleeding from her head and was barely conscious, we rushed her here quickly. On the way here she said five, I'm gonna take a guess and say five little punks jumped her". Adam explains.
"Go back to the center and find out who jumped her. I want names and I wanna know why".
"All due respect Sarge we wanna be here for Jo. This happened on our watch".
"Go!"
When Hank yelled they knew not to argue with him instead they left going back to the juvie center. The older father just waited and waited hoping to hear something, anything on his little girl. Erin looked to him and went over to him.
"You know it wasn't their fault right, they didn't do this to her". Erin said.
"They were suppose to watch and protect her not let this happen". Hank bit.
"Hank I understand you're upset and scared you have every right to be don't take it out on the team when they're trying to help. Adam and Kevin made a mistake by not being there they were trying not to be made, I'm sure they both feel very guilty about the whole thing".
The older man knew she was right they probably felt extremely guilty about the whole thing, he was just upset and scared.
A couple of hours had passed and still no word on Jordan's condition, Dr. Rhodes had also been assigned to her case. Currently he was looking over the young teen all of a sudden she began seizing.
"Jordan! Come on kiddo don't do this". Connor whispers.
He then looked over her scans and saw pressure on her brain and if he didn't get it under control she would die.
"Let's get her up to the OR now!"
They rushed the teen up to the OR while Connor went to find Hank. He went around the hospital and ended up finding the older father and the team, taking a breath he went over to him. Hank saw the doctor coming and went to him.
"What's wrong?" Hank asked quickly.
"Jordan had a seizure, from looking at her scans we found pressure on her brain. Were going to go and relieve the pressure before it's too late". Connor explained.
"Please save her, save my little girl".
"I will".
The two shook hands then Connor ran off to the OR to do Jordan's surgery.
Meanwhile
Kevin and Adam were heading back to the juvie center, the entire time Adam had zoned out.
*Flashback*
The team was heading out and Hank didn't want to leave his daughter by herself, he looked to see who could watch her. He saw how well Jordan was getting along with Adam.
"Ruzek you got a sec". Hank called for the officer.
"Yes sir". Adam replies, going to the office.
Hank closes the door and turned to his new officer. "You good with kids?"
"I'm sorry but I'm lost".
"I don't wanna leave Jordan by herself, I was hoping you wouldn't mind watching her. If you don't want to I don't mind asking Trudy".
"I'll watch her".
"Alright. I just want you to know what I'm about to say I'm not saying it as a cop or you're boss but as a father. If anything happens to Jordan while she's with you I will hurt you".
"I completely understand".
"Good".
Hank went out and called his daughter. "Jo come here sweetheart".
"Coming". Jordan replies.
The young girl went to her father's office and saw Adam with her father.
"Yes dad".
"Jo, Adam is gonna watch you while were in the field".
"You'll be careful won't you?"
"Aren't we always".
"You know what I mean".
"Also you are to not leave the District for any reason".
"But dad".
"No buts Jordan, you're still grounded. That means home, school, and here that's it".
"Fine".
"Be good and behave for him".
"I will".
Hank hugged his daughter and kissed her head, she then kissed his cheek. Alvin saw and heard that his new partner would be watching his goddaughter so he headed over to his friend's office. Jordan waved to her godfather and he smiled then kissed her head and she headed to the lounge.
"Hank you mind if I borrow Ruzek for a quick sec". Alvin says to his friend.
"Sure". Hank said.
Adam followed his partner back to Alvin's desk.
"What's up Al". Adam said.
"I want you to listen and listen closely. Jordan is my goddaughter". Alvin started.
"I didn't know that".
"Now you do. I'm only gonna tell you this once, when you're watching her nothing else matters but her. You have your eyes on her and only her. If anything happens to her Hank will be the least of your worries".
"I got it".
"Good".
The team left out leaving Adam alone with Jordan, he didn't know anything about kids so he didn't really know what to do. The twelve year old left the lounge going to his desk.
"Don't let them scare you". Jordan tells them.
"Whatcha talkin bout?" Adam asked confused.
"I heard my dad and Uncle Alvin talk to you, don't let them scare you. They mean well they're overprotective".
"I can tell. If you don't mind me asking where's you're mom?"
Jordan felt sadness and pain shoot through her heart, a lump formed in her throat. She's always had a hard time talking about her mother. Adam saw the look and got worried.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you".
"It's ok you didn't know, my mom she died when I was a baby. So that's why my dad is the way he is with me so is my brother and Erin".
"I'm sorry".
"It's ok you didn't know".
"So what happened that you got grounded?"
"This kid at school said something about my dad and brother so I punched. We both got detention and well my dad grounded me".
"Whatever he said it's not true, don't listen to them they just wanna bring you down".
"I know it's just my dad and brother always protects and defends me it was my turn to defend them".
"I feel ya kiddo. So what do you wanna do?"
"I have some ideas".
Almost ten minutes later the squad was trashed as the two were playing with a football. Papers were on the floor, chairs were everywhere, the two were laughing and playing the whole time.
Jordan felt as if she had another older brother, she had her brother now she considered as her brothers, Jay, Adam, and she was getting to know one of the patrol officers Kevin Atwater. They may not be blood related but they are now family.
Adam had fun watching the young girl, she was like the little sister he never had. The two continued to goof off and trash the squad.
*Back to reality*
Adam was so deep and far in his thoughts he never heard Kevin calling him.
"Ruz, Ruzek". Kevin says to his partner.
"Yeah sorry". Adam said.
"You good?"
"I'm fine".
The two headed inside, they went to the office of the warden. Adam was trying to keep his cool the whole time. Images of Jordan laying on the floor, bleeding from her head, losing consciousness then passing out. He kept looking at his clean clothes imaging her blood was still on them. Kevin looked to him with a concerned look.
"You sure you're alright? I can do this if you don't want to".
"I'm good".
The warden finally got to the office looking at the two. "What can I do for you gentlemen".
"Chicago PD. We need the security footage where Jordan Voight's cell is". Kevin said.
"May I ask what for".
"She was jumped and attacked earlier, she's currently in surgery at Chicago Med right now". Adam trying to keep his voice calm and steady.
"Look it's just kids being kids, probably no harm done".
Adam then forcefully grabbed the guy by the shirt looking at him with a glare. "Jordan was jumped by 5 of these little punk ass kids! She was bleeding from her head! If she doesn't make it I swear to god, I will send everyone here to prison and make damn sure you all get ratted out as snitched. You want that to happen because I don't care".
"Y-you don't understand".
"What don't we understand?" Kevin asked.
"I know you're boss, Hank Voight. He helped me out a few times, helped a couple of the other guys out. If he finds out that I let his daughter get jumped he'll kill me".
"What do you think I'm gonna do? What do you think the rest of us are gonna if she dies? If you think Hank Voight if you're problem pal you got another thing coming. Now I suggest you tell me everything you know before I put your head through a wall". Adam spat.
"I was paid off so was a guard to look the other way, he said it was supposed to be a simple thing not something like this".
"Who's he?"
"Don't make me say".
"Wanna know what we saw tonight? An innocent 15 year old girl bleeding from her head barely alive, she could barely talk to me. Not only is she our boss's daughter she's our little sister. Now before you piss me off more I suggest you cough up a name and the footage now".
"Denny Woods. He paid me off. Said something he needed Jordan off his trail so he wanted something done. I swear it was supposed to be a small fight or something not this".
"We want the footage, the names of the kids and that guard or else I'll beat it out of you".
"Ok ok just please whatever you do, don't tell Voight".
"Right now he's the very least of your worries".
After getting the security footage the two partners looked at it, on the tape it showed Jordan being escorted to her cell by the guard. The guard pulled his phone out leaving the teen to walk back to her cell.
As the partners watched they picked at their nails. When they saw Jordan getting jumped by 5 teen boys they got sick to their stomachs, they felt as if they were gonna puke. What had pissed them off was the fact that the guard was around the corner hiding. Adam had stormed out when he saw that Kevin saw and chased after him.
"Adam hey man slow down". Kevin tells his partner.
"I can't, when I find this guard he'll wish he was never born". Adam bit.
"Look I get it emotions are high right now, Jo's in surgery-". He was cut off by Adam's outburst.
"Yeah Jo's in surgery because we weren't there! I didn't protect her from Woods like I was suppose to. I should have done something, anything to protect her but I didn't and look what happened. Woods did all this and I didn't do a damn thing, he told me that whatever happened to Jordan was gonna be on me and her. He's right this is on me but I'll be damned if Jo blames herself".
"This ain't on you bro it's not, you couldn't have known he was gonna do any of this".
"I knew he was gonna do something I just didn't think he'd go this far".
"Were gonna get him and he'll never hurt Jo again".
"You're damn right he won't".
Chicago Med
Hank was still in the waiting room, he was slowly becoming impatient about not hearing anything on his daughter's condition. Connor had finished Jordan's surgery he scrubbed out and went to see the older father.
Nobody had moved from their spots or said a word, when they saw Connor approaching Hank saw him and went to him.
"How's Jordan?" Hank asked, his voice full of fear and worry.
"Hank, Jordan's….
