Jordan- 14
It had been a couple of weeks since Justin's funeral and Jordan didn't take any of it well. The fourteen year old hadn't been sleeping well, if she slept at all it be in her brother's room. She barely eats anymore. The teen could barely get out of bed anymore. When her father wasn't around she'd go and steal his liquor and drink, she took the small pocket knife her brother gave her and cut her wrist but not deep enough. Jordan had hit rock bottom.
Since her brother's death she had been a zombie, wherever she goes she has an emotionless look on her face. Her brown eyes would be blood red from crying and being drunk. She had missed a good couple of weeks of school to grieve. She had never experienced death before so she took it hard, when her mother died she wasn't old enough to remember.
Jordan now knows why Erin turned to drinking and her stuff after Nadia died, it had numbed the pain even if it was for a few minutes. Sometimes she'd show up to the District drunker than hell and everyone knew it.
She told everyone that she'd stop and they believed her, but she never stopped. Eventually she stopped going to the District, she'd go to school only to cut and when she left she went to a place she thought she'd never go to.
Bunny was pouring drinks for the people at the bar, a moment later Jordan walked in. A hood covering her face, she didn't want anyone to see her tear stained face. She went over and sat down at the bar taking off her hood. When Bunny saw the fourteen year old she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Well if it isn't little Jordan, what's wrong honey get lost on you're way to the District". Bunny mocked.
"Pour me a whiskey". Jordan whispered, her voice cold as ice.
"I'm sorry what?" Bunny checked to see if she heard the teen right.
With a evil glare she looked at the older woman. "I said, pour me a whiskey".
" No way, what do you want?"
"I want a damn whiskey!"
Taken back by the teen's outburst she eventually poured the drink and slid it over to her. Jordan gulped down the drink quickly, her throat burned. Sliding the cup back over to Bunny she laid her chin on the bar.
"Another".
Bunny knew why Jordan was acting this way, she heard of Justin's death. The older woman then had an idea, if Hank had took her daughter she was gonna take his.
Pouring the girl another drink she slid it the cup back to the teen. Once again Jordan gulped down the whiskey and slid the cup back to the older woman.
"Another".
"I heard about your brother. I'm very sorry about"
"Bunny do me a favor, don't talk to me about that. Just get me another one".
"Want anything else?"
"A beer".
Bunny poured the whiskey then got her a beer. She watched as the teen gulped down her third whiskey and started drinking her beer.
"I have to ask why come to me? You know Erin and you're father won't like that".
"Right now I don't give a damn about what anybody thinks. Besides you won't go back to my dad about this, you didn't with Erin so I know you won't do it with me".
"If you want I can give you something else to help take the pain away".
"Like what?"
Bunny then pulled her purse out and gave the fourteen year old a small plastic bag full of pills. Jordan finished her beer as she wiped off her lip.
"What are they?" Jordan pointed to the pills.
"A little bit of everything, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, kapanol, and lorcet".
"How much for the whole bag?"
"Tell ya what, since it's your first time. It's free".
Jordan took the plastic bag and took out four of the pills not caring which ones were which. Popping them in her mouth she downed another whiskey. Tears then burned in her eyes as sobs began escaping her lip, acting as if she cared Bunny put a gentle hand on the teen's shoulder.
"Honey it's alright".
"I miss my brother, I want him back".
"Tell me about him".
"Justin was the best brother ever, he helped take care of me. He helped my dad raise me, I wasn't even his responsibility but he made his responsibility. He taught me a lot, how to ride a bike, how to fight, I can't believe he's gone".
The teen began crying as Bunny came around from the bar and rubbed a hand on Jordan's back. She remembered exactly what she did with Erin was after Nadia died, she was gonna do the same thing to Jordan.
"It's gonna be ok now".
"It'll never be ok, he wasn't just my brother. Justin was my best friend, yeah he had his issues everyone does". Jordan choked on a sob. "I just want my big brother back. I just want my brother back".
"Oh sweetie it's alright".
"Can I get another whiskey and beer?"
"You can have whatever you want honey and I mean that".
Jordan popped a few more pills in her mouth and drank some more whiskey. Bunny now knew how to get to Hank.
District 21
The squad was quiet, the only sounds that we're heard was Mouse typing on his computers. The team was just returning from their case, Hank was running down leads from his CIs.
Erin saw that her sister wasn't there, in a way she wanted to give the teen her space to grieve but she also wanted to help her. She remembered after Nadia died she cut everyone off and quickly went downhill from there, the older woman didn't want that to happen to her sister.
Everyone was really concerned about the young teen, she had cut them off again. Jordan had cut them all off the day after Justin's funeral, the teen had even cut off her own father. Not being able to take it, Antonio had got up and went over to Mouse. The tech had seen the senior detective coming over to him.
"What's up". Mouse said.
"Track Jordan's phone, she hasn't been here in weeks and she won't answer any of our calls. I wanna know where she is". Antonio said quietly.
"One sec". Mouse replied.
The tech had began tracking the teen's phone and when he got the location, his face now had a look of sadness and disbelief as he looked up at Antonio. "Tell me that's not what I think that is".
Antonio had the same look, was his niece seriously at a bar? More importantly Bunny's bar? Why the hell would she be anywhere near Erin's mother? He then had a bad thought, what if Bunny had sunk her claws into the teen just like she had done with Erin?
Jordan was still in a vulnerable state and will turn to whoever or whatever to ease her pain. Antonio then got up and looked around the squad, if it was true that Jordan was at Bunny's bar he wanted to have the right person with him.
"Erin, let's go". Antonio said.
"Where are we going?" Erin asked.
"To get Jo".
"Ok where is she?"
This was the part he dreaded telling her but it had to come out. "Bunny's bar".
Her heart sank down to her gut when he had said that, it couldn't be true. There was no way in hell it was true. Jordan would go that far as to going anywhere near Bunny. No matter how much pain she was in. As quickly as she could she and Antonio left the District.
Meanwhile
Jordan was now on her eighth whiskey and her seventh beer, she was higher than a kite and so drunk she could barely stand. All Bunny did was pour her drink after drink, the fourteen year old was drinking like a fish. The teen felt a little numb but she didn't want to be a little numb she wanted to be completely numb, blindly she reached in her pocket and grabbed her pocket knife.
Bunny watched on as the teen began cutting her wrist, she didn't say a word or even made an attempt to stop her. The older woman left her alone and let her do as she pleased.
"Nobody understands". Jordan says, her words slurring.
"I know what that's like". Bunny said.
"Nobody knows what it's like to lose a part of your family like that. I lost my big brother, my best friend. Everyone their looking and treating me as if I'm a fragile little girl who needs protecting. I'm not. I wish everyone would just leave me the hell alone, everyone grieves differently. I'm still grieving".
Before Bunny could talk the door opened, Antonio and Erin walked in. The first thing they saw was Jordan at the bar with empty bottles and a small glass in front of her. The two adults stormed over.
"Let's go Jordan". Antonio said forcefully.
"I'm not going anywhere". Jordan said coldly.
Erin glared at her mother. "Why the hell would you do this? She's in a vulnerable state right now!"
That had caused Jordan to stand, she lost some of her balance but she was gonna stand her ground. "She's right here! She doesn't need you two looking out for her anymore!"
"Let's go Jordan, we're taking you to the District". Antonio said more forcefully.
Jordan had chuckled dryly. "Antonio let's get one thing perfectly clear ok. You're not my father and you never will be so just stop acting like it. You've been acting like my father since I was 11! I already have one father I sure as hell don't need another one. What I want is for all of you to stop acting as if you care because in reality you don't! The only reason any of you care is because I'm your boss's kid and if anything happens to me under your care he's gonna chew all your asses out". She then turned to Erin, by this point Erin had a shocked expression on her face. This wasn't there Jordan. This wasn't her sister. "Why are you of all people here? You did the exact same thing when Nadia died so why are you here? To talk to me? Talk me out of doing whatever? Newsflash Erin I'm not seven anymore, I don't need anyone to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. I don't need anyone to tell me what I can and cannot do. I'm still grieving my brother so why don't all of you do me a favor and LET ME GRIEVE!"
The two detectives had never been so shocked before, they heard Jordan raise her voice but never once did she ever yell. Jordan was starting to feel a bit dizzy, she felt the blood run down her arms a moment later she had passed out. The small plastic bag was in her hand. Before her head could hit the floor Antonio had caught her and Erin snatched the bag out of the teen's hand, she then viciously glared at her mother.
"What did you give her?!" Erin yelled.
"I didn't give her anything, she came in with it". Bunny defended.
Antonio had pulled out his radio. "21 Ida Emergency, I need an ambulance to my location I got a teenage girl down. She OD'd and losing blood fast. Tell that bus to kick it in the ass!"
"10-4 bus en route".
He then set his radio down and felt for a pulse, his heart dropped when he couldn't find one. The senior detective then began CPR on the fourteen year old. Erin went around the bar and forcefully grabbed Bunny by the front of her shirt.
"I'm gonna ask one more time, what did you give her?!" Erin yelled.
"She came in with that!" Bunny yelled back, defending herself.
"What did you give her?!"
"Nothing!"
"Look at her mom!"
She then forced her mother's face over to where Antonio was still performing CPR on Jordan trying to get her pulse back. Jordan's eyes were closed and her body was very still, it was almost as if she was...dead. Bunny saw the teen a small part of her felt bad, but it was a sign that her plan was working. Erin glared at her mother wanting to attack her.
"If she dies Hank will reign down hell on you and I will personally throw you in jail. Now what did you give her".
"I gave her a few things, I don't know which ones she took".
"What was it?!"
"Hydrocodone, hydromorphone, kapanol, and lorcet".
Without thinking or realizing Erin had punched Bunny knocking her down on the ground. "Have you lost your mind?! Jordan's grieving and vulnerable and you give her booze and drugs! What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you that desperate to get back at me and Hank?!"
"Jordan came here on her own free will!"
"You gave her the drugs and booze! So help me if she dies I will personally lock your ass up and throw away the key".
A second later Gabby and Brett rushed into the bar and saw Antonio still giving the teen CPR, the paramedics then rushed over getting to work.
"How long has she been down?" Brett asked.
"A few minutes maybe. Jordan, she OD'd". Antonio answers, fear in his voice.
"What'd she take?" Gabby asked.
"Hydrocodone, hydromorphone, kapanol, and lorcet". Erin answered.
Gabby then checked for a pulse but there wasn't one. "Alright we have to shock her heart".
The senior detective kept pressing down on Jordan's chest not giving up, he didn't care if she yelled and screamed at him. She was his niece dammit and he was gonna save her. Gabby saw the look on her brother's face.
"Tonio we have to shock to try and get a pulse". Gabby tells him.
Brett then attached the electrode pads while Gabby setup the monitor once they were done Antonio stopped compressions.
"Charging…..clear!"
Jordan's body was shocked but still didn't have a pulse so they tried again.
"Charging….clear!"
There still wasn't a pulse which was now frightening everyone. Was Jordan dead? Was this the way she was gonna go out? Dead in a bar from an OD? They weren't giving up, none of them were giving up.
"Charging….clear!"
There it was, Jordan once again had a pulse. Everyone had sighed in relief. Jordan was alive.
"Let's get her to Med, she needs her stomach pumped". Brett says, as tears slid down her face.
They got the teen on the stretcher and loaded her into the ambulance. Antonio was gonna ride with his niece to make sure she was alright.
Erin was still with her mother, the glare never left her face. "I can't believe you did this. You knew that Jordan was like this and you sunk your claws into her just like you did to me. You got her drunk and high". This next part wasn't hard at all. "Barbara Fletcher, 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 cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I explained them".
"Arrested for what?"
"Child endangerment, reckless endangerment, and attempt murder".
"Murder? Erin please don't do this".
" You should have thought about that before you gave Jordan alcohol and drugs. You should have thought about that before she overdosed. This is on you Bunny, you knew Jordan was in a bad state of mind and you took advantage of that. So whatever happens to you happens".
Erin then escorted her mother out of the bar, she glanced down at the blood on the floor. Jordan's blood. She was sickened at the sight. Putting her mother in the police car she drove to the District.
Chicago Med
Gabby and Brett have arrived to the hospital, Jordan was still remained unconscious but had a pulse. Antonio was right beside his niece.
The next few minutes for the senior detective was a blur. Jordan was taken to a trauma room and they began pumping her stomach. After her stomach was pumped they working on her wrist.
Will was cleaning the dried blood off her wrist and arms, he looked down at the teen and couldn't believe that she did something like this. He wrapped her wrist and arms with white bandages, once he was finished he left so the teen can rest.
Antonio was on the phone updating Hank and the others about Jordan. Telling the older father that his daughter overdosed was one of the hardest things the detective ever had to do. It was one thing he thought he'd never have to do. He got off the phone and rushed over to Will.
"How's Jordan? Is she ok?" Antonio asked.
"Her stomach was pumped of all the drugs. I believe what caused her to pass out was the drugs, being drunk, and losing blood. I honestly can't believe Jo did something like this". Will replied, pain filling his voice.
"It's hard to believe. I know".
A moment later Hank had rushed in, a fearful look on his face. He saw the older Halstead and his detective talking. The older man rushed over.
"Where's Jordan? Is she alright? Did she make it?" Hank asked, fear and pain filled his voice.
He had just buried his son, he couldn't bury his daughter after that.
"Jordan's alright, we pumped her stomach and put bandages on her wrist. Hank she's gonna have to be a psych hold for 72 hours". Will told the father.
"For what?"
"The cuts on her wrist, she did them to herself. We have to make sure she isn't a danger to herself or others".
Hank felt as if his world is crashing, he had just lost his son and buried him. Now his little girl was cutting and doing drugs to ease her pain.
"I understand".
Will then excused himself from the two men, Hank looked into the trauma room to see his baby girl passed out. Memories had started flooding his mind from when Justin was in the hospital. Shaking all that from his head he faced his detective.
"What happened". Hank said.
" I had Mouse trace her phone, Hank she was at Bunny's bar. She got Jordan drunk and gave her the drugs". Antonio admitted.
Now Hank was furious, Bunny now crossed a serious line with him. That woman was not gonna do to his daughter what she did to Erin, no way in hell that was gonna happen. It was because of her, his daughter got drunk, she got high and OD'd nearly dying from it.
Before he went and did something stupid he went to sit with his little girl. The older father sat right next to her brushing her hair back like he always done.
A few minutes later the whole team came rushing in, they had seen Antonio watching their boss with his daughter. Jay had went over to his friend.
"What the hell happened". Jay spoke.
"Erin's mother, she got Jordan drunk and gave her drugs. Will said what could have caused her to pass out was being drunk, the drugs, and losing blood". Antonio said.
"Is she ok now?" Alvin asked highly concerned.
"Yeah, they pumped her stomach and bandaged her wrist".
"Her wrist?" Kim asked scared.
"Jordan cut herself, multiple times on both wrist".
Everyone was incredibly shocked to hear that. It was no wonder why she stopped going to the District, the teen didn't want anyone finding out her secret.
Jordan was slowly starting to come around, her vision was very blurry. She saw a figure sitting next to her, once her vision cleared she saw her father.
"D-dad". Jordan said weakly.
Hank looked over at his daughter and got up hugging her, he felt pain when she didn't hug him back. This wasn't his daughter. She looked like Jordan but wasn't her. He didn't know who she was right there.
"Sweetheart why". Hank says tearfully.
"I don't know".
" Jordan we just lost Justin, I'm not losing you to".
That done it for the teen. "Go away".
" Jo-" He was cut off by her outburst.
"I said GO AWAY! Get out!"
This had really shocked and surprised Hank, his daughter never once yelled or screamed at him. He didn't know if it was still her grieving or Bunny had her claws in deep enough to turn Jordan against him.
Without a word Hank left the room, tears sliding down his cheeks. He didn't know who that girl was in the room, that wasn't his little girl. One thing he knew for sure, no matter what it took he was gonna get his baby back at any cost.
He walked past the team leaving, the older man was gonna pay Bunny a visit. Getting to the District in record time he went down to the holding cells and looked inside to see Bunny there.
The older woman looked over to see a furious seething Hank. In the past she had seen Hank angry and upset, but not like this. Swallowing hard she watched as he unlocked the cell door stepping inside closing the door behind him.
"You. You got my daughter drunk, you gave her drugs and she nearly died from it!" Hank yelled.
"Jordan came to me Hank! You may not wanna hear it but for once it's the truth. She came in the bar on her own free will". Bunny defended.
"The second she walked in you could have picked up the phone and called either me or Erin but you didn't. Instead you gave her booze and drugs, my daughter almost died because of you and if she had you wouldn't be breathing right now. You won't do to Jordan what you did to Erin".
"And what was that Hank?"
"You took advantage of her in a vulnerable state, told her all these lies. Acted as if you gave a damn about her. Then you started giving her drink after drink then slid her something. I'm gonna be very very clear about this, the next time you come anywhere near my daughter again you won't be breathing".
After that was said Hank left going back to the hospital.
Back at the hospital, Jordan refused to see anyone from the team. She won't talk to them or the doctors. Why won't anyone leave her alone? Everyone grieves differently in their own ways, why won't they let her grieve the way she wants to? The fourteen year old then had an idea.
Hank had returned and when he went to see his daughter she refused to see him. She wouldn't say a word to him or anybody.
When she was brought up to the psych ward, Jordan couldn't look at any of them. The teen couldn't even look at her father. She went up without say a single word to any of them.
Three days later Jordan had been released from the psych hold. She swore that her drinking, cutting and using was behind her that she never do it again. The teen had fooled everyone.
A week had gone by now and Jordan was back to drinking and cutting. She still had everyone cut off, she wanted to do her own thing and she was. If her father was asleep at night she'd sneak some of his booze, other times she'd get her own with her fake ID.
One day Jordan was at school after her second class she ditched, after leaving the school the fourteen year old knew where she was going.
Bunny was out of jail on a bond, the judge had warned her to stay away from all minors or else she go back to jail. She was cleaning a glass when Jordan walked in.
"Ya know I could get in a lot of trouble with you here". Bunny told her.
" I won't tell if you won't. I want my usual". Jordan replied.
Bunny set a small glass in front of her then poured in the whiskey afterwards she got a bottle of beer opening it.
"So one of my friends is having a party, I think it might be a good escape for you. What do you say?"
Gulping down the whiskey she looked at the older woman. "Count me in"
