Jordan laid in her father's embrace as she slowly fell asleep, her grip on her father's shirt was starting to loosen till it was out of her grip. Voight looked down at his little girl who had fallen back asleep so he gently laid her back into the bed and put the blanket over her. Just then there was a soft knock at the door so Voight went to open it to see Mouse, Olinsky, Ruzek, Jay, and Erin.
"How is she?" Erin asked, concerned for her sister.
"She'll be alright, Jordan's gonna make a full recovery". Voight answered.
"That's good to hear". Onlinsky says.
"What'd you find out?"
"She went to a convenience store after she left the school, then just as she left the store that's when she was shot". Jay explained.
"Any witnesses?"
"None, when Brett and Borelli picked her up they said whoever called it in left before they got there". Erin continued.
"Mouse anything from her phone".
"There were no incoming or outgoing calls, she sent two text but that was it". Mouse answered.
"I got the first text who was the second one too?"
"Someone named Derek".
"Antonio and Atwater are already on it". Olinsky said.
"I need some air".
Voight then left the team going outside leaving the team standing there, Erin decided to go after him.
"Hank, Hank". Erin called after the older man.
"What Erin?" He replies.
"You need to calm down and think about what you do before you do something you'll regret later".
"Trust me when I say this Erin I'm not gonna regret doing anything to the son of a bitch who did this to Jo".
"You need to think about Jordan and how she's gonna feel when or if you do something".
"All I'm thinking about right now is the fact that my daughter is laying in a hospital bed recovering from a gunshot. This was a personal attack on me and I'm not taking this lightly".
Before the brunet could reply Commander Crowley came up to the pair.
"Commander Crowley, what can I do for you?" Voight asked.
"I just heard about Jordan, how is she?"
"She's ok Dr. Rhodes said she'll make a full recovery".
"That's good to hear". She then sighed sadly. "Hank I wish I were here on better terms".
"What are you saying?"
"I'm sorry Voight but I'm taking you and your team off this case. You all are too personally involved".
"You're not taking me off this case".
"It's been done I didn't have a choice".
"I'm working this and I don't care what anyone says I'll take the heat later".
"I can't let you do that".
"Watch me".
Chicago Central High School
Antonio and Kevin have arrived to the high school and entered the front doors, they went straight to the office where they were met by the secretary.
"Hi can I help you".
"Yes ma'am, Chicago PD we were wondering if you had a student named Derek". Antonio says.
"What is this regarding".
"A student, Jordan Voight was shot on the way to the district she's in the hospital right now one of the last people she talked to was Derek".
"Oh my god, I can't imagine who would do such a thing. Jordan is such a sweet girl, nice to everyone, how is she?"
"She's doing alright. She's recovering now". Atwater said.
The secretary was typing when she found the student's name.
"We have one student named Derek. His name is Derek Underman, he's the same grade as Jordan".
"Do you know where we can find him?"
Before she went back to her computer she saw Derek coming into the office. "There he is".
The two detectives turned around to see a teenage boy around 15, he had jet black hair, ocean blue eyes, he was wearing a simple red t shirt with a blue plaid shirt, gray jeans, and black chucks.
"Derek Underman?" Antonio asked.
"Yeah". Derek replied.
"Chicago PD we like to ask you some questions".
Derek then took off running out of the school which caused Antonio and Kevin to run after him, the teen boy ran halfway down the block before Antonio tackled him to the ground.
"Let me go I didn't do anything". Derek said struggling.
"We'll be the judge of that now get up". Antonio said.
"What's this about?"
"Jordan Voight".
"I'd never hurt Jordan".
"Yeah and why's that".
"Because I love her".
Chicago Med
Commander Crowley left leaving Voight and Lindsay outside just then Olinsky came out.
"What's up Al?" Voight asked.
"Atwater just called they picked up Derek. His name is Derek Underman, sophomore at Chicago Central High same as Jordan". The older man replied.
"Alright get Mouse to get everything he can on this kid, Erin you and Jay stay here see if you can get Jordan to talk or see if she remembers anything".
"What about you?" Erin asked.
"I'm gonna go talk to this kid".
Before Olinsky or Erin could say anything Voight went back inside to see his daughter. Jordan was slowly starting to come too while Ruzek, Jay, and Mouse were outside her room they were quietly talking when Voight came up.
"Mouse get back to the office and get me everything you can on a kid named Derek Underman".
"You got it". The tech replied.
"Ruzek I want you and Olinsky go to the school question the students, teachers, everyone who knew Jordan and Derek".
"Got it Sarge". Ruzek says.
"Jay I already told Lindsay you two are gonna stay with Jordan, get her to talk see if she remembers anything".
"Right".
Voight then went in the room to see his daughter just waking up she tried to move but winced in pain.
"You alright kid". Voight asked.
"I'm fine it just hurts to move".
"Listen I gotta head to the office for a bit so Jay and Erin are gonna stay with you".
"Your gonna come back won't you?"
"Of course I will".
He then kissed his little girl's head just as she kissed his cheek. "I love you dad".
"I love you too sweetheart".
He then walked out of the room to see Erin and Jay there he quickly approached them.
"Nobody is to get in or out of that room unless they are the staff here or one of us".
"You got it". Jay said.
"I'm going to question this kid".
"Don't be too hard on him Hank". Erin said.
"We'll see".
He then left going back to the district after a couple minutes Jay and Erin went into Jordan's room.
"Hey Jo, how are you feeling?" Erin asked her sister.
"I'll be ok, it hurts to move". The teen answered.
"Jordan are you up for answering a couple questions". Jay says coming into the conversation.
"Yeah I guess so".
"Can you tell us about what happened after you left basketball practice".
"I was walking to the district but I stopped at the store on fifth street, I go there maybe once or twice a week. I text my dad to tell him I was on my way, then I text Derek to tell him where I was he sometimes walks with me but he stayed after school longer than I did. After i texted Derek I went in the store and got a soda and some chips then when I left I felt someone grab my arm and drag me to an alley". She then started to choke on a sob. "They threw me down and started to kick me I tried to fight back but the person was too strong he kicked me a few more times then I saw him pull something from his back pocket it was a gun, I begged him not to shoot me but he did then I think he said something I can't be too sure".
"Can you at least try to think about what he said". Erin said.
"I think he said something about my dad paying for what he did then I was out of it for a while, I started to hear faint voices I think I heard someone calling 911 after that I hear the paramedics it could have been Brett and Borelli from 51 they told me to hang on next thing I know I'm waking up here".
Erin saw the look on the teen's face and knew she was hiding something else. "Hey Jay do you mind if I talk to Jo alone for a minute".
"Sure I'll be right outside". He said.
He then left the room closing the door behind him leaving the two girls to talk.
"Jo, sweetie it's just me and you talking what you say to me I won't tell anyone unless you want me too".
"Not even my dad?"
"Not even him, there's something else about Derek isn't there?"
"Yeah there is but I haven't told my dad and you can see why".
"What's said between us stays between us".
"Derek's my boyfriend".
21st District
Antonio and Atwater are bringing Derek up to the interrogation room only ten minutes later Voight arrived and Trudy calls him.
"Hank hey how's Jordan doing?" Trudy asked.
"She's doing ok, Doc says she'll make a full recovery". He replied.
"That's good to hear".
He then excused himself to go upstairs to his unit and just as he entered Mouse had gotten up from his seat following him.
"Sarge I got the information on Derek like you asked".
"And what do you have for me".
"Full name is Derek Alexander Underman, born May 15, 2001 right at Chicago Med. Parents, Michael Underman, Lisa Underman. No siblings. He's a sophomore at Chicago Central, plays basketball, tennis, he's on the student government, on the honor roll list. No priors, no record, this kid is clean so are the parents".
"Did you get anything off of his phone?"
"Nothing much just a bunch a text, a few calls".
"Who were the text too?"
"Two were to his mom, one to his dad, and the rest to Jordan".
"What were he and Jo talking about?"
"A bunch of stuff but some of the text were interesting if I didn't know I'd say that they were in a relationship".
"I'll find out".
The older man then went off to the interrogation room, Derek was sitting across from Antonio and Kevin was standing just a few feet from the senior detective.
"So let's go back you said you loved Jordan, you two dating?" Antonio asked.
"Yes, we've been going out for almost a month it started out as a crush till I opened up to her". Derek replied.
"There's been a lot of texting going on between the two of you".
"What I can't check on her?"
"She texted you today right before she was shot telling you where she was, so why don't you tell me where you were".
"I was back at the school preparing for a game we have next week, sometimes I'll stay just an hour longer after I left school I went straight home. I did my homework and studies for three test".
"Did you know if Jordan had any enemies?" Kevin asked.
"Not that I know of".
"Kid do you know where Jordan is right now? She's in a hospital bed recovering from a gunshot and I really don't think you want her father in here talking to you right now". Antonio said.
"She made me promise not to tell".
"Tell what".
"I'm not breaking the promise I made to her".
"Derek I will charge you with withholding evidence don't think I won't".
Before the teen could speak again Voight opened the door, everyone could practically feel the tension in the air. Derek swallowed hard as he saw the older man but what really frightened him was the icy stare on his face.
"Atwater, Dawson you two are dismissed". Voight said.
Without another word the two left the room closing the door behind them leaving Voight alone with the teen boy.
"So Derek is it, I've been watching and I now know that you've been in a relationship with my daughter".
"We were gonna tell our parents we just wanted to wait for the right time to do it".
"I don't care about that right now I'll deal with that later right now you're gonna tell me what she promised you not to say".
"I'm sorry but I can't I'd be breaking her trust".
"Kid my patience is gone right now, my daughter is in a hospital bed after getting shot now I'm only gonna ask one more time or I'll force it out of you. What did you promise not to tell".
"You didn't hear it from me".
"Talk".
"Jordan's being bullied".
"By who".
"A couple of the guys from the football team, every chance they get they'd go for her".
"I want names".
"The first is Scott Michaels the second is Jeremy Johnson".
"You did good kid but I'm gonna tell you this one time, since your dating my daughter I'm gonna make one thing clear. You hurt her I hurt you. I make myself clear".
"Yes sir".
"Good now get out of here".
The teen boy didn't need to be told twice he was out of the room before Voight could blink.
Chicago Med
Erin was still was Jordan as they were talking.
"So how long have you and Derek been together?" Erin asked.
"Only a month, at first it was a crush but then it grew". Jordan replied.
"In a way I can see why you didn't tell your dad, he can be pretty intimidating".
Jordan chuckled. "Can be intimidating? He is intimidating".
"I will agree with you on that he was like that when I was about your age".
Jay was outside the room when his brother Will had seen him.
"Hey man everything alright?" Will asked.
"Erin and I got protection detail right now, Jordan was shot today". Jay replied.
"I heard that I was gonna stop by to see her but I've been so busy".
"She's gonna pull through".
"Well she is a fighter like her old man".
"You got that right".
Just then Jay's phone rang. "One minute".
"It's ok I gotta go anyway but I'll check on Jordan later".
Jay nodded then answered his phone.
-Halstead. Jay answered.
-Jay see if Jordan will talk about a Scott Michaels and a Jeremy Johnson. Voight said.
-Alright.
The young detective hung his phone up and went back in the room just as the girls went quiet.
"What is it Jay". Erin said.
"Jordan do you know anybody by the names of Scott Michaels and Jeremy Johnson". Jay says.
Jordan's face went pale. "H-how do you know those names?"
"Jo take a deep breath and calm down". Erin said gently.
The teen did what she was told but her face was still pale, she felt as if she was going to throw up.
"Yeah I know those names, they're a couple of the guys on the football team at the school".
"What can you tell us about them".
"Promise you won't tell my dad please".
"Hey remember what's said in this room stays in this room, we won't tell nobody unless you want us too".
"They would mess with me every chance they get, I'd fight back all the time but sometimes Jeremy would hold me back while Scott hits and kicks me then they would switch. I try to avoid them all the time but they always find me. When I fought them I fought hard but it wasn't enough for just me to handle so one day after they beat me up I went to Derek he helped me and I told him what happened, I had him promise me he wouldn't say anything".
"Jo why not say something?" Jay asked.
"I don't know I guess I'm embarrassed about it, I mean a cop's kid gets beat up".
"Well next time tell us honey before something very bad happens". Erin said.
"Do you think my dad will be mad?"
"I don't know".
Jay's phone dinged so he excused himself from the room.
-The two kids might have had motive. Voight arrested their fathers. Michaels for murder and Johnson for drug possession. Mouse.
He then put his phone back in his pocket then went to get his partner.
"Hey Erin can I talk to you for a quick second". Jay said.
"Sure. We'll be right outside Jo". Erin says.
"Alright". The teen said.
The two partners went out of the room closing the door behind them leaving it slightly ajared.
"What's up".
"The two kids, Scott Michaels and Jeremy Johnson might have had motive for shooting Jordan".
"What kind of motive?"
"Voight arrested their fathers".
