*Picks up from the last chapter*
Jordan- 17
Hank had been missing going on 4 hours now, the team had put Jordan into protective custody so whoever took their boss won't take her. She was in her father's office the whole time looking out into the city.
Everyone was out in the squad trying to come up with a game plan. Nobody knew how to play this kind of situation out.
"This is what we do, we go back to Hank's last known and we find out what happened". Antonio told everyone.
"What about Jordan?" Hailey asked.
"What about her?"
"We're gonna have to tell her we're going and she's gonna want to go".
"She's right man, we can argue Jo down but she won't take no for answer". Jay said.
"And she won't wait in the car either". Adam chimes in.
"Hank may kill us for this". Antonio mumbled.
The senior detective went to Hank's office and opened the door, Jordan jumped and turned when she seen her surrogate uncle.
"Did you find something?" Jordan asked hopeful.
"Not yet sweetie, we're gonna go check his last known maybe we'll find something out there". Antonio replied.
"What are we waiting? Let's go".
Before Jordan could get out of the office Antonio had gently pulled her by her elbow stopping her.
"Jo you're in protective custody, if anything happens to you. You're dad will kill us".
"I'll stay close by. Let's go".
Antonio knew the teen could be impatient at times just like her father, everyone really hoped they find Hank and they find him alive because if they don't Jordan will hit rock bottom again and this time she may not be able to come back.
Before they headed out just as a precaution they put a bullet proof vest on Jordan, it was Erin's old vest they put on her. Jordan had kept it after her sister left. Soon enough they all headed out to Hank's last known.
Meanwhile
Hank was still getting tortured and it kept getting worse by the minute, they went from beating him with a bat to electrocuting him using a car battery. Somehow Hank had managed to still fight through this and he knew why.
Damiano was looking on with an evil grin as he chuckled, he went over to the older man and lifted his chin then punched him across the face.
"Tell me Hank, is this what you put my brother through right before you put a bullet in his brain". Damiano said coldly.
"I...never...tortured you're brother. I only put a bullet in his head". Hank replied.
"I think I should do that to your little girl once I get my hands on her".
That had caused Hank to pull on the cuffs more causing them to dig deeper into his wrist, a vicious glare on his face.
"Stay the hell away from my daughter, this all happened before she was born".
"I don't care you took something from me so it's only fair that I return the favor and take something from you". An evil smirk then appeared on his face. "In fact let's call little Jordan now, what do you say".
"Leave her alone!"
One of the other men had put tape on Hank's mouth, he screamed against the tape and tug on the handcuffs. Damiano chuckled as the phone rang.
"Jordan if you want you're father back alive, I want you to bring me $100,000 dollars. If anyone else comes with you, you're father will die".
While
The team and Jordan was at Hank's last known, they saw his car keys laying on the ground along with a little blood. Jordan turned away trying to swallow the lump in her throat, she turned away feeling the tears burn in her eyes. Jay then went over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"It's gonna be alright Jo". Jay tried to comforted her.
"He's hurt Jay, what'd they do to him?" Jordan cried.
"We're gonna find him, I promise".
"I want my dad back".
"We'll get him back".
Kim looked over at one of the street lights and saw a camera. "Antonio check that out".
Everyone then looked to the camera and knew they could get the footage, Adam took a picture of it on his phone. They all headed back to the District, Jordan looked out the window into the night sky.
"Where are you daddy?" Jordan mumbled.
The ride back to the District has been quiet, Jordan felt herself slowly starting to break inside. She remembered after her brother died she had been completely broken, she had hit rock bottom and she quickly spiraled. The teen had turned to drinking and cutting, she was almost close to turning to drugs as well. If her father dies she will hit rock bottom and this time she may not come back.
After arriving back to the District everyone had headed inside, Trudy was there and she quickly went over to her goddaughter pulling her into a tight hug. Jordan snuggled into her godmother's hold and began crying. Trudy was consoling the teen when she looked back at the team.
"You do whatever you have to do to find Hank". Trudy tells them.
"We will". Antonio spoke.
They all then headed up to the squad, Mouse was working quickly working on getting the security footage by the time the other got up there the tech got the footage.
"Guys I got it". Mouse tells them.
Adam looked to the teen. "Sweetie maybe you should wait in your dad's office".
"No! I'm staying right here. Play it Mouse". Jordan said, her voice full of anger and fear.
They on wanted to debate with the teen but knew it be pointless, it be debating with another Hank. Mouse then played the footage, as soon as it played Jordan felt her heart race faster in her chest she had bit her lip to keep the sobs from escaping.
On the footage it showed Hank walking from his social club to his car then an unknown assailant knocking him out with the crowbar. Everyone watched in shock as they saw their boss, friend, and mentor getting taken down from behind, he never saw it coming.
Jordan stepped away to get her emotions under control, she sat on the floor and once again cried. Antonio went over and hugged his niece tightly, the teen buried her face into his shoulder.
"I want my dad, Antonio" Jordan spoke, her voice cracking.
"I know kiddo, I know". Antonio said gently.
The teen's phone began ringing and saw it was her father again but she knew better, she quickly looked to her surrogate uncle with wide eyes. Antonio then looked to Mouse.
"Start a trace Mouse". Antonio ordered.
"On it". Mouse replied quickly.
The senior detective looked back to his niece. "Pick it up, ask to speak to him".
Nodding, Jordan then answered the phone. -Hello. Jordan tried to keep her voice calm.
-Jordan if you want you're father back alive, I want you to bring me $100,000 dollars. If anyone else comes with you, you're father will die.
-I understand. Let me talk to him.
There was a brief pause and a shuffle then Hank came on. -Jo, sweetheart is that you?
-It's me daddy, I'm gonna bring you home. I promise. Jordan's voice broke more.
-Sweetheart I want you to know this, I love you more than my own life. From the day you were born you have always been my little girl, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.
At hearing her father's word tears had streamed down her face, was her father telling her his final goodbye?
-Don't give up daddy, we're gonna find you I promise. I'll bring you home.
-Jo, sweetheart whatever he tells you don't do it! He's tricking you!
-Enough of that now, Jordan if you want to see him alive again bring me my money. Damiano says coming back on.
-I will. When and where?
-12 pm, at the docks in Edgewater. Come alone if anyone else comes with you, you're father dies.
-I understand.
The phone then went out and Jordan wanted to smash her phone but didn't, she ran her fingers through her hair. She went to her father's office and slammed the door.
"We need to act and act fast". Antonio spoke.
"What's the plan?" Jay asked.
Meanwhile
Damiano had finished the call with Jordan and he turned to face Hank, an evil grin on his face. Hank was viciously glaring at the man now.
"If you do anything to my daughter I swear when I get out I'll kill you". Hank spat.
"Oh Hank you're threats are so adorable". Damiano mocked.
"If you so much as look at her I'll carve your eyes out and make you dig your grave with you're skull".
"Soon enough you'll see you're precious little girl and you'll witness her death then you'll join her".
Normally Hank was never scared of anything and never feared anything, but when his family was threatened and targeted he was afraid. And at that moment he was afraid that something would happen to his little girl, he feared that she would be taken and he might witness her death. If he did see his little girl die that might as well be it for him, that would completely break him. If his little girl did die in front of him nothing would stop him from putting a bullet in his own head.
He knew that his team would do just about anything and everything to protect his baby, at least he knew she was safe or that's what he thought.
District 21
Hank had been missing going on 12 hours now and nobody had slept, not even Jordan. They were all running on endless cups of coffee and fumes. Jordan was still in her father's office sitting behind his desk, it was something she always done when she was younger. Looking at the desk she caught a picture in a silver frame picking it up she looked at it.
The picture was of her, her father, her brother and Erin. She had been only 7 in the picture, Hank was holding her up with Justin was on his left side and Erin was on his right side. It was a perfect family picture.
Tears had began falling onto the picture as she held it close to her, the teen felt pain ache in her heart little by little she had lost people from her family. First her mother, then Justin, Olive and Daniel, Erin, then Alvin. Jordan couldn't take it if she lost her father.
It was now reaching noon, Adam got the teen from the office. Kim helped Jordan put on Erin's old vest.
"Guys I don't have a hundred grand to give, I'm screwed". Jordan said.
"What about the money in your dad's safe?" Jay asked.
"He put half of that into a trust for me and the other half for Daniel. What do we do?"
"Leave that to me". Antonio said.
The senior detective went down to evidence and got the money they needed for Hank's ransom, after getting he headed back upstairs. Jordan had put a ear piece in her right ear.
"Alright Jo with that ear piece you'll be able to hear and talk to all of us and we'll be able to hear and talk to you". Mouse told her.
"What else do I need know?" She asked.
"If you feel like something's wrong give us a signal and we'll come in". Jay answered.
"What kind of signal?"
"A word or a phrase, either would do". Adam chimes in.
"What about, I wanna go home?"
"That'll be fine".
"You guys will be close by right? You'll make sure nothing happens?"
"We'll be close by the whole time". Kevin assured her.
"You're ear piece also has a tracker so if they take you anywhere we'll know where you are". Mouse chimes in.
"Let's go get my dad back".
Everyone then left heading to the dock, Jordan was nervous the whole time her hands were shaking. Adam and Kevin dropped her off at a nearby park close to the docks, the teen carried the duffle bags full of money to the docks as she looked around seeing nobody.
It was now noon and Jordan was on the docks with the bags of money, she walked around the whole time. The team had stayed back far enough to not get caught but they were able to see the teen.
"You guys can hear me?" Jordan asked quietly.
"Loud and clear sweetie". Kim answered her.
"Do these things usually take this long?"
"It depends". Adam asked.
"On what?"
Before someone could answer the seventeen year old two men had shown up, Jordan turned around trying to get control of her emotions and breathings.
"Guys I think this is it".
"Show time". Antonio said into the radio.
The two men approached the teen and stopped a few feet from her.
"Where's the money?" One asked.
"Where's my father?" Jordan asked.
"Give us the money and we'll return you're father".
"I'm not giving you shit until I see my father. Alive".
One of the men pulled out a gun aiming it at her, Jordan saw the weapon aimed at her. She was now terrified but kept her cool. The team was ready to move in but didn't, they weren't gonna put Jordan in danger.
"Give us the money kid unless you want you're daddy sent back to you in pieces". The other guy said.
"Like I said, I'm not giving you anything until I see my father. Alive".
The two men then went over to the teen, one of them grabbed the bags of money and the other took a hold of Jordan.
"Let's go". Jay said to the team.
"Jay no". Antonio says.
"What the hell do you mean no?" Kim asked angrily.
"If we follow them we'll be able to get both Jordan and Hank back".
"What if they kill her?" Adam asked.
"They won't, too much riding on this. Whoever did this wants Hank to suffer and if anyone ever wants to make him suffer they go straight for Jordan first they didn't they went for him". It then hit the senior detective. "Oh no".
"Oh no, what do you mean oh no?" Hailey asked.
"Whoever took Hank wants to make this very personal, they took Hank first and waited to take Jordan. I think they waited to take Jo because….I think they're gonna kill Jordan in front of Hank then kill him".
"And we just let her go". Kim spoke.
"Let's go get them".
Jordan rode in the back of the car as they drove to the location where her father was being held, her nerves were all over the place. Taking a few deep breaths she tried to calm herself down. Soon enough they arrived at an abandoned factory.
"Factory, good pick". Jordan said.
"Move kid". One guy said shoving her.
They were now inside the factory, Jordan saw her father handcuffed his chin resting against his chest. Her heart dropped when she seen him covered in blood, cuts, bruises, but what made her blood run clod is the fact is she didn't know if he was breathing.
"Daddy!" Jordan yelled.
The teen ran to her father and saw his face, his was bloodied and bruised. She gently took the tape off his mouth.
"Daddy, daddy please wake up. I'm here now. I'm here to take you home". Jordan's voice broke.
Hank was starting to come around, he heard a girl's voice and it was very familiar to him. He looked through blurry eyes to see a teen girl in front of him when his vision finally cleared he saw his daughter standing right in front of him as tears ran down her face. Jordan had used her hair pin to unlock the cuffs and Hank dropped and she caught him as they were on the floor.
"Jo Jo, w-what are you doing here?" Hank asked weakly.
"I'm here to take you home".
"I..told you..not to do this".
"You'd it for me, it's only fair I do it for you".
"Does the team know?"
"Yeah. I have to give them my signal and they'll move in".
"Well well if it isn't little Jordan". Damiano spoke.
The teen spun around to see Damiano, she glared at him while she stood protectively in front of her father. Hank managed to get up and stand protectively in front of his daughter.
"Leave her out of this Damiano, this is between you and me. Not her". Hank spat.
Jordan still managed to hold her ground, she held onto one of her father's arms as fear took over her body. Damiano then pulled a gun aiming it at the father and daughter, Hank stood in front of his little girl. While the father and daughter were distracted they didn't see the two men sneak up on the teen and forcefully grab her.
"Let me go!" Jordan yelled.
Hank turned to see the two men holding his daughter and he knew if he made the wrong move his little girl was as good as dead. They brought her over to Damiano and he took a hold of her, he had his forearm against her throat. Jordan knew this would be her chance at getting the team in there now.
"I wanna go home!"
"Quiet". Damiano hissed.
The team heard the teen's signal and grabbed their weapons rushing inside, Kevin bashed a door in as everyone swarmed in.
"Chicago PD!" Antonio yelled.
Damiano then shot Hank in the shoulder sending him down to the ground, Jordan was fighting to get out of the hold but failed.
"No! Dad! Daddy!" Jordan cried.
She was then dragged out of the room by the older man the whole time she was fighting, the team had killed the two bodyguards when they were shot at. Jay saw his boss on the floor bleeding from his shoulder.
"21 George emergency, I need a bus my Sergeant has a GSW to the shoulder. Put a rush on that bus". Jay says into the radio.
The young detective then got down and began applying pressure to Hank's shoulder, the older man saw his Detective on the side as he was pressing against his shoulder. He then began to push Jay away as he got up.
"Sarge you have a gun shot and losing blood fast". Jay advised him.
"I need to get my little girl back". Hank told him firmly.
Picking up a gun from the ground Hank went to go find his little girl. Damiano still had a hold of Jordan as he dragged her through the empty hallways of the factory.
"So you had your father's team on standby, I knew you wouldn't show up alone". He told Jordan.
"My dad may have raised a kid, he ain't raise a stupid kid". Jordan said.
"Jordan!" Hank called out.
Hearing her father call for her gave the seventeen year old some kind of hope. "Dad! Help!"
"One more word out of you and you'll get a bullet". Damiano spat in her ear.
"Let me go, you son of a bitch".
"Such a foul mouth for a girl like you, do you kiss your mother with that mouth".
"Don't talk about my mother!"
After a lot of fighting and struggling from Jordan, the two finally made it to the roof, the entire time the older man still had a hold on the teen so she wouldn't escape.
"Look you can get out of this alive, just let me go".
"Shut up! I need to think!"
A moment later the door to the roof burst open, Hank was there holding a gun and behind Hank was the whole team they all had their weapons raised up. Damiano had Jordan in front of him, his forearm still on her throat and with his other hand he held a gun to her head.
The seventeen year old felt the cool metal gun press against her temple, now she was completely petrified. She had her eyes locked firmly on her father.
"Daddy help me. Please help he daddy, I don't wanna die". Jordan said shakily to her father.
"Let her go Damiano". Hank said.
He tried to move which cause the older Italian man to tighten his grip on Jordan and the gun, Hank had to play this out very carefully or else his daughter would be dead.
"Jordan has nothing to do with this, you got a beef with me not my daughter. Let he go and you can have me".
"Dad no!" Jordan cried.
"Let my daughter go and we can finish this. Just us".
"Fine".
Jordan was then let go and ran straight to her father, Hank held onto his baby girl as she began to sob and shake uncontrollably.
"Daddy..please don't do it". Jordan cried.
"It's gonna be alright now sweetheart, you're safe now". Hank soothed her.
Damiano then raised his gun aiming it back at Hank and Jordan.
"Fire!" Antonio yelled.
Hank then grabbed a hold of his daughter shielding her with his body, the team then opened fired on Damiano. Antonio then gave the sign for them to stop which they did, once it was safe Hank and Jordan got back up, the teen now had her father's blood on her clothes but she didn't care. Going to his good side she wrapped herself around him.
"I'm glad you're alright daddy". Jordan whispered.
"I am too sweetheart". Hank says.
He kissed her temple then everyone left the roof. By this point an ambulance had arrived and took Hank to the hospital, without question Jordan rode with her father and everyone followed behind.
After arriving to the hospital Hank was immediately brought up to surgery, Jordan was brought to a treatment room to get the blood cleaned off her. The team arrived and when the teen saw them she ran over hugging all of them.
"Thank you, for helping me get my dad back". Jordan told everyone.
"That's what family's for kiddo". Jay said.
A few hours later Hank was out of surgery and in recovery, once Hank was moved to a room Jordan was in the chair next to his bed. She watched as he slept, she then got out of the chair and carefully got in the bed next to him. The teen was on her father's good side, she laid her head on his shoulder and threw an arm over his chest.
The teen was drowsy, she had been awake almost 24 hours. Slowly sleep took over the seventeen year old before she went to sleep she mumbled something under her breath.
"G'night daddy".
She kissed his cheek and soon sleep had taken over Jordan, the teen was now fast asleep curled into her father's side.
Hank awoke a little while later he felt as if he got hit by a truck, she glanced down to see his little girl fast asleep. Sighing in relief he used his good arm and pulled her closer holding his arm around her protectively. He kissed her head and held her.
He didn't care what happened to him, he only cared what happened to his little girl. The older man could have been beaten to hell and near death he still wouldn't have care as long as his little girl was safe and alright that was the only thing that mattered to him.
He soothed her hair back and kissed her head again, Hank laid awake for awhile just gently brushing Jordan's hair back. He remembered he'd done this many times when she was a little girl. The teen blindly looked up at her father.
"D'ddy?" Jordan asked sleepily.
"Go back to sleep baby, I'm right. I'm not going anywhere". Hank says to her gently.
"I love you daddy".
Smiling Hank kissed her head one last time. "I love you too my sweet girl, I love you more than my own life".
About an hour and a half later Hank began dozing off and soon enough he was asleep, that night he fell asleep with his baby girl curled into his side.
