"You have to find him Tony. He's a bad man."
Tony looked at Jordan closely. At 7 she seemed so smart for her age. This made it easier for him to ask her the next few questions he was dreading to ask. He was hoping Gibbs was going to get back to him about the bodies identity, but he couldn't wait any longer so he asked.
"Jordan, I have to ask you a few very important questions. Is that ok?"
Jordan nodded.
"Ok, I know this is a hard question Jordan, but I need to know a bit about your dad, if that's ok? And about your mother too. Because you can't stay with me forever." Jordan laughed at that.
"Why not?" she asked giggling.
Tony smiled, "Cause."
Jordan smiled then looked at the ground.
"It's just me and my dad, my daddy's name is, Michael Truman. My mum died when I was 4. Daddy said she was coming home from work one day when a bad drunk man hit her car."
Tony was amazed at how together Jordan was telling him this. He looked at her closely.
"Jordan your such a brave little girl."
She smiled sadly at him.
"I have one aunty. But she travels a lot. I think last time I talked to her she said she was in France or something."
Tony nodded.
"Do you like her?" He asked.
Jordan nodded, and then went silent. Tony picked her up and placed her ob his lap again.
"You know Jordan, if you want to talk to someone you can talk to me. I know what it's like, to lose someone you care about."
Jordan looked up at Tony.
"You do?"
Tony nodded.
"I think I was about your age. My dad, my mum and I were driving back from a friends place late at night. I remember my mother was telling me off about putting dirt in my aunt's dessert." Tony smiled sadly remembering. Then his smiled faded. " All of a sudden I heard a scream, and then the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital and my father telling me my mother hadn't made it."
Jordan held Tony's hand.
"What happened?"
"A drunk man slid on the wrong side of the road."
Jordan sat there silently.
"The reason I'm telling you this Jordan is because I know right at this moment everything may seem hopeless. But I promise you it will get better."
" And, I promise I will find the man who did this ok?"
Jordan moved closer to Tony and hugged him.
"I know."
