Peter and Laura sat across from Jordan and Hank, both father and daughter were confused. What new information did they on Daman's murder? The teen knew her father had done it but who is now being blamed for it? Under the table Jordan had taken a hold of her father's hand gripping it tightly.

"So we know who killed Damian". Laura said.

"Who did it?" Jordan asked.

Hank was also very curious to know this, he had an idea that is team was somehow behind this. The older Sergeant had a very well reliable team if it was them who gave this information, he had complete faith in them.

Peter slid over a picture of a guy and spoke. "This is Darryl Jacobs, a known rival of Damian. He caught Damian selling on his turf and got rid of him".

Both the father and daughter were relieved, Jordan wasn't being charged with murder.

"So that's it then?" Hank asked.

"Not quite. One more thing, Jordan how did you Damian was dead?" Laura says to the teen.

"I overheard my dad talking about it to someone". Jordan replies.

"Do you remember who it was?"

"No".

"That'll be all". Peter stated.

"Before we go, Peter, you got a second to talk". Jordan says.

"Of course".

Hank didn't protest he trusted Peter and a few others he knew nothing would happen. Peter and the fifteen-year-old left the room going somewhere private to talk, they went back to an office and shut the door.

"What's up Jo". Peter started.

" How'd you know I didn't do it? When'd you know it wasn't me?" Jordan asked.

"I always knew it wasn't you, you're confession sounded forced. Besides you would never resort to murder no matter how angry you are".

"Let me guess, either Antonio told you that or my dad did".

" We knew all along it wasn't you, we were surprised you confessed though".

"I didn't wanna let anyone go to jail for something that was my fault".

" What happened wasn't your fault".

"It took me a long time to finally convince myself that it wasn't my fault and now it was brought up again. It was my fault, if I hadn't gone to that party or if I had stayed with Adam and Kim then it wouldn't have happened". She swallowed a lump in her throat. "After everything, I went through after losing my brother, one thing I learned is you don't turn your back on family even if they do it to you. I never thought I could ever feel that kind of pain in my life, I was just angry. Pissed. I hated everyone, my dad, my family, myself. You probably read some of my files, my mom died when I was a baby and when Justin died my whole world fell apart. It all came down crashing down like a ton of bricks, I never got to grieve my mom and when he died I grieved both of them but then…I don't know what happened. I let all that anger, grief, all of that consume me, I turned into a completely different person, I didn't know who I was anymore. As much as I hated everyone they never gave up on me, no matter what I did or said they forgave me".

"That's what family does".

" I turned to the bottle, a knife, and a few pills and after everything, I've done and said they can still somehow look me in the eye".

"As you said, family doesn't turn their backs on you even when you do it to them. You're father and everyone else fought to get you back and they did. Jo if you ever need help or just anyone to talk to I'm here. All of us are here for you".

"Thank you, Peter, I think that I can finally put this whole Damian thing behind me".

"I hope you can and before I forget you start work Monday morning. I'll talk it over with your dad, you're just gonna deliver papers and stuff".

"Thanks".

Peter walked the teen back to her father, Antonio was with Hank by this point quietly talking. They both knew that somehow the team had done this and they were both grateful for it. Without thinking Jordan ran and tackled her father, she held on tightly to him.

Hank smiled as he held his precious little girl, she wasn't going anywhere and neither was he. After pulling apart from the hug the teen went and hugged her surrogate uncle.

"Promise me that you'll never do something this crazy ever again". Antonio whispered in her ear.

"I promise". Jordan whispered back.

After that Hank took his daughter and left, they got in the car and Hank looked over at his daughter. Jordan tried to look her father in the eye.

"Sweetheart, I want you to listen to me and listen carefully. What happened wasn't your fault, whatever happened wasn't your fault he knew what he was doing. He had no right doing that to you". Hank started, his voice gentle but firm.

"I just couldn't let you or anyone else go to jail for what happened, I was responsible. I couldn't let you guys take the fall for something that I was responsible for and that was my fault". Jordan says.

"Jo Jo, none of that was on you. You got to stop blaming yourself, the only people who are at fault are Bunny and Damian. That's it. Stop blaming yourself, after today I don't wanna hear that coming from you again".

"For months I thought I was finally over it, I could finally get past it but something was holding me back and I never knew what it was. Now that it's finally over for good I think I can finally move on. Nothing's holding me back anymore, I got everything off my chest, Damian…he's gone, he's not coming back, he can't get me or hurt me anymore. I think I can do this Dad".

"And I'll be right here with you the whole time".

" What if I feel like I'm gonna fall or what if I do fall?"

"I'll be right there to catch you and pick you back up".

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she wiped her burning eyes. "After everything, I did and said and after the whole Damian thing. I thought you'd be ashamed of me and…and you'd stop loving me. I thought you would have given up on me like you did with Erin, I honestly thought all of that. My worst fear was I thought you didn't wanna be my father anymore, you'd give your problem child to someone else".

Hank felt his heartbreak and ache at what his daughter told him. Something wet started falling down from his eyes and he wiped the tears away.

"Sweetie, I could never in my life be ashamed of what you did or what happened to you. And no matter what I'll always love you. Always no matter what. Nothing will ever stop me from loving you, a parent's love for their child is unconditional. You could hate me till the end of time and I'll still love you". Hank paused as he took a deep breath. "I know I gave up with Erin but as much as I hate to admit it she's not my child, she's like my child but she isn't. Erin is a grown adult who can make her own decisions, you're still a kid. My kid and I'm not gonna let you make those kinds of decisions that she did but I did help her come back just like I helped you come back and I'll always help. And sweetheart you're not a problem child, everyone has their own issues and problems and they fight through them. Just because you have stuff going on doesn't mean you're a problem child. Justin had his own problems he wasn't a problem child, a pain in the ass but not a problem child".

Jordan couldn't help but chuckle at what her father said about her brother. Hank smiled then went on.

"And I'll never give you to anyone else. When I had to send you and your brother away that killed me. Not having you two around I couldn't sleep, eat, think, I couldn't do anything because I was more worried about you two. Sending Justin to the Army, I did it not only to protect him but to help him get his life on the right path again. Did it hurt me? Yes. When I had to send you to rehab that was one of the hardest things I had to do, I wanted to help you but I didn't because I could barely take care of myself. I was trying to help you, Erin, and everyone else I couldn't take care of myself and that was on me. I failed you because I couldn't help you".

"Dad that's crazy talk, you did help me. You didn't fail me". She stopped for a moment. "I admit when I was like that, I didn't want help what I wanted was for the pain to stop and when I finally opened my eyes and I saw that it was hurting you and everyone else I knew I was being selfish. The only thing I cared about was stopping the pain. None of that was on you. You tried to talk to me, you tried to get me to stop, you got me in rehab and now I'm clean, sober, I'm going to teen AA meetings, I'm in therapy. I couldn't have done any of that without you. I'd probably be dead somewhere if you didn't help me if you hadn't done any of what you did I'd be gone and it really would have been my fault. I would have caused you and everyone else more pain because I wanted mine to stop. Dad, I'm really really sorry for everything I did and said. I'm gonna really try and put Damian and everything else behind me now".

"I believe you and you know this, you can always come to me about anything at any time. If you feel like you're slipping or you do fall I'll be right there to pick you up and help you".

A couple of tears ran down the teen's face as her bottom lip wobbled and she spoke in a trembling voice.

"I love you, daddy, I know I don't say it enough but it's true".

Hank leaned over a bit and tucked some hair behind her ear and wiped away the other tears.

"I love you too sweet girl, I love you more than my own life. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you".

Sniffing Jordan wiped her wet face with the sleeves of her shirt and chuckled a bit. "Can we go to the District?"

"Of course".

The father-daughter duo headed off for the District, as they drove Jordan felt free. For the first time in months, she was free, she no longer held guilty, ashamed, she wasn't being held back by anything. Most of all she was free from Damian and the situation for good. The case was closed. It was as if a huge weight was finally lifted off her. The teen was determined to finally put everything behind her, this time for good.

Hank finally pulled up to the District and the two walked in, as soon as Jordan was at the entrance way she was pulled into a bone-crushing hug by Trudy.

"Aunt Trudy….too tight". Jordan gasped.

"I'm sorry honey, are you ok? I heard what happened". Trudy says, releasing her.

"I'm good. After talking with Peter, Antonio, and dad, I'm good. I think for the first time in months I'm finally good, I'm free. I'm gonna finally put it behind me for good".

"Jo were here for you if and when you need it".

"Thanks, Aunt Trudy".

Hank smiled on, he was proud of his daughter. She was finally able to move forward from this, she didn't have to feel ashamed or guilty no longer. He put a gentle hand on her shoulder and they went up to the squad.

As they walked up the two were grateful for the team that they helped get Jordan out of a murder charge. They were walking up the steps and heard a bunch of talking when they heard footsteps they all stopped talking and looked to see their boss and Jordan. Taking a step forward Jordan looked at everyone and took a deep breath then started.

"First, I wanna say thank you. What you all did it means a lot to me, I'd be sitting in a jail cell right now if it weren't for you guys. I'm extremely grateful for everything you guys have done to help me out". She then looked to Adam and Kim. "Adam, Kim, if you hadn't broken in that room when you did I probably wouldn't be here because that would have completely broken me again. Thank you for getting to keep when you did even after what I did and said to both of you".

The two moved from their spots and went over to hug the teen, Kim hugged her first then Adam.

"You never have to thank us because that's what family does if anything we should have kept a better eye on you". Adam told her, as he held her.

"Adam's right were family and we always take care of each other, through good times and bad. And we should have kept a better eye on you". Kim said.

" I want us, all of us to agree on something". Jordan stated.

"What is it?" Adam asked.

"That after today we don't blame ourselves anymore, after today it's done. No more. It wasn't your fault, it wasn't Kim's fault and it wasn't my fault. None of us were to blame about that night the only people who are to blame are Bunny and that son of a bitch. I'm not about to live the rest of my life feeling ashamed and guilty for something that wasn't my fault, I don't want that for you guys either. I don't want you guys to live your lives carrying around that guilt. At this moment right now all three of us are gonna put it behind us, no more blaming ourselves, no one feeling any type of way about, I'm not having it anymore if I can move forward from it so can all of us and you guys".

Everyone was proud of the teen, for her to be fifteen she sounded like an adult. Hank couldn't have been prouder of his little girl, she was just like her mother.

"We can do that, if you can do that so can we". Kim tells her.

"How are you feeling Jordy?" Erin asked.

With a smile, she answered her sister. "Free. For the first time in months, I finally feel free, I didn't know what it was but something was holding me back from moving on and after this, I feel free. I'm not feeling ashamed or guilty, Damian is gone and he's not coming back, he can't hurt me anymore. I think this is what finally set me free. After getting all the courage to talk about everything that happened when I was too scared to say it, at first I didn't wanna talk about it because at the time I did feel ashamed but now I don't anymore. For the first time in months, I feel a lot better nothing's holding me back anymore and now I'm taking back control of my life again. This is my life and I'm not gonna live like that, I'm gonna live my life the way I want".

Everyone couldn't have been prouder of Jordan, she sounded so much like an adult they couldn't believe it. Hank was such a proud father at that moment, he had raised a very well outspoken, bold, and very brave daughter. It had proved his point, she may act like him but she also acted like her mother too.

Hank then pulled his little girl into a side hug and kissed her head. "When did you become so grown up?"

"I've had a lot of good teachers in my life".

"I'm so proud of you sweetie, why don't you wait for me in my office ".

Nodding the teen walked to her father's office and closed the door while Hank walked towards his office and stood there looking at his team.

"Thank you, what you all did means a lot".Hank says to his team.

"We don't know what you're talking about". Alvin tells his friend.

"All we did was catch Damian's real killer". Jay told his boss.

"I'm actually curious about that, how did you find Darryl Jacobs? He's been on CPD's hit list for more than 7 years and you all just found him". Hank said.

Erin smirked. "You have your methods and we have ours".

"How'd you get him to confess?"

"As I said, you have you're methods and we have ours".

Hank had a smirk of his own, he knew that statement was very true. He had his own methods and the team had there's. At that moment he was very grateful for his team. Without them, his daughter would be in jail for murder but instead, she's with him and she was safe.

Walking into his office he glanced down to see Jordan fast asleep on the couch. He took his jacket off and covered her with it, the teen smiled in her sleep as she pulled the jacket closer to her snuggling with it.

Hank walked over to his desk and watched his precious little girl sleep peacefully. As Jordan slept the smile never left her face, for the first time in months she was happy.

No longer she had to feel ashamed or guilty, no longer did she have to think about Damian or about what happened. She was finally free.
