Kevin and Jay were across from Josh who was still nursing a black eye, Voight and Erin were watching from behind the glass.
"So Josh you have one nasty temper". Jay said looking at the file.
"Yeah so what". Josh replied.
"You thought that you were gonna stroll into town get Jordan and leave, I mean after all you did threaten to take her didn't you". Kevin said.
"Yes I did say that I just don't trust Voight".
"Why's that".
Josh scoffed. "Your kidding right, he's a cop and cops make enemies all the time and I blame him for what happen to Jordan. The only thing I want to do is to take care of my niece and to make sure she's safe at all times, not running around here with a target on her because of him".
"He didn't pull the trigger that shot Jordan". Jay said.
"He might as well have".
"Why do you have so much hate towards Voight?"
"Back when my sister was alive the two had a relationship, I knew from the minute he came around he was bad news I warned Anna all the time that he was bad news but she never listened to me. After a few weeks they slept together she finds out she's pregnant with his child she wanted to stay with him, 9 months later she has Jordan I was ecstatic. Then when Jordan was only 5 months old Anna died and he gets custody, I made a vow that when my sister died I would do everything in my power to protect my niece even if it means taking her from that son of a bitch".
Voight and Erin were still watching from the window when she had spoken up, "Do you think he had something to do with the shooting?"
"I don't know he didn't get in town till after 6 so it could have been someone he has keeping eyes on Jo and I'm about to find out".
Just as he left the room going into the interrogation room he was stopped by Antonio.
"Hey Roman just called Jordan wants you".
"Alright see what Josh will say about the people he has watching Jordan, I'm going back to the hospital".
"Laura and the kids are on the way to see her, I didn't say anything but that she's in the hospital".
"Hank you don't think that whoever this is will go after anybody else, whoever this is got Jo do you think this could be personal or could this be an attack on the whole team. They could go after Antonio's family, Jay's brother, anybody". Erin speaks up.
"Until we know absolutely for sure everybody's family goes into protective custody as of now".
"Done".
"I'll be back".
He then left the District and just as he was going down the stairs Trudy had quickly stopped him.
"Hey Hank". She calls out.
"Yeah". He replied.
"Mind if I ride with you to check on Jordan?"
"Sure".
The older woman quickly grabbed her belonging and headed out with Voight, during the drive to the hospital the ride was silent when Voight spoke.
"I remember when Jo was just a little girl, when I worked nights she always gave Justin a hard time about going to bed until she either heard me or saw me so he would call me and I talk to her then to help him out I would leave my jacket so that way Jo would be able to sleep at night it helped her knowing I'd come home to her and Justin. The second she woke up every morning she came right into my arms and I told her all the time I'm home, I'd always come home to my little girl".
"I still remember the day you first brought her to the District, she was what six or seven it was a Saturday you guys were called in for a double homicide, Justin wasn't home you couldn't get a babysitter on the last minute so you brought her with you I offered to watch her for you while you guys did your thing, she used to be a shy and quiet little girl then as she got older she became more like you except a girl".
"The guy who did this will wish he never met me and wished he never heard the name Voight".
Chicago Med
The two had just arrived and headed to Jordan's room they saw Roman outside her door and Burgess in the room calming the teen girl.
"Hey everything alright". Voight says to the patrolman.
"She woke up with a nightmare immediately asked for you". Roman replied.
"I got it from here, you and Burgess go take a break".
"Alright".
Sean then went to go get some coffee while Trudy and Voight entered the room, Kim was holding Jordan in a sideways hug they looked over to see the two Sergeants enter the room.
"Hey Burgess let's give them some privacy". Trudy says.
"Alright". Kim replies.
Trudy then went over to quickly hug the young girl carefully. "I'm glad your ok Jo".
"Thanks Aunt Trudy". The young teen gave a small smile.
After another couple moments Trudy and Burgess left the room giving the father and daughter some privacy.
"So how's my girl doing". Voight says to his daughter.
"I'm scared dad, I don't wanna be scared and I don't wanna keep having nightmares". Jordan replies.
"Hey it's normal to feel scared you been through something very traumatic, when we go out for cases and sometimes we don't know how they end I get scared".
Jordan seems surprised at her father's words. "You get scared?"
"Yeah all the time, sometimes I don't know if I'll come home to you or not. Jo it's alright to feel scared sometimes and it's gonna take time for the nightmares to go away, if you want I can schedule something with Dr. Charles so you can talk about what happened".
"Do you think that'll work?"
"It might it'll take time sweetheart".
The young girl had bit her lip and her father had picked up on it. "Something on your mind Jo".
"You'll think I'm a baby".
"No I won't and besides you're my little girl, you'll always be my baby".
"I was hoping maybe you can lay with me until I fall asleep".
"Yeah I can do that".
Voight then went over to his daughter and carefully lifted her up and held her closely.
"I remember when you were just a little girl two, three years old every night when I was home right before I tucked you in you always asked for me to check under your bed and in the closet for monsters. Remember what I said to you after I checked".
Jordan chuckled. "You said that there are no monsters because they ran when they heard you coming. You always said that monsters run when they see or hear you coming just to make me feel better".
"Jo I will get who did this to you and when I do they will suffer".
"Wouldn't expect nothing more dad, you'll stay with me right".
"I'll stay with you as long as I can".
Jordan then slowly started to fall asleep in her father's arms, Voight held his arms protectively around his daughter.
District 21
Jay and Kevin were still with Josh just when Erin walked in.
"Josh tell me about the guys you have watching Jordan". Erin says in a firm voice.
"What's that about". Kevin speaks up.
"Alright yes, I got people in town who keeps an eye on Jordan for me just so I know she's safe that's how I found out about her. I was coming into town when I got the call about Jordan". Jos replies.
"Where were you coming from?" Jay asked.
"Michigan I work there but the company is out of Chicago and whenever I come into town I like to see Jordan, she's the only reminder of my sister so I see her when I can".
"What's the name of the company?"
"Carter Industries, I inherited the company from my father when he passed. The company's here but I'm working out of Michigan I plan to expand it to over there I've been working on that the past few months".
"We want the names of the people you have watching Jordan".
Jay slid over the notepad and pen just as Josh sighed as he began writing down the list of names on the paper.
"Jay, Kevin, give me a minute alone with him". Erin said.
The two men then got up leaving the room Erin then glared over at Josh. "I've known Hank for a very long time and I already can guess he talked to you about staying away from Jordan now I'm telling you, you're gonna leave Chicago and never come back. Jordan's like a little sister to me and I will do anything to protect her even if it means protecting her from scum like you".
"Erin you got it all wrong I'm not the bad guy here, Hank is and he always will be".
"Get the hell out of here before you see my bad side".
Once Josh was finished writing he got up from his seat and left the room Erin stayed there for a moment, she then let everything sink in from the day's events. The older woman tried hard not to break down but soon tears spilled from her eyes she got up to leave the room to go splash some water on her face but before she could make it to the bathroom she bumped into Jay.
"Hey I got Mouse running- what's wrong?" He asked.
"We almost lost Jo today, Jay we can't lose her. It took me this long to move on from Justin's death I don't know what I do if we lost Jo too". Erin cried.
"Hey she's gonna be alright, if Jo is anything like Voight she is one hell of a fighter. Jordan will bounce back from this and we will get whoever did this to her".
"She's my sister Jay, why couldn't have we figured this out sooner?"
"Jo was scared she was being threatened as much as she wanted to tell us, Jordan thought she was protecting us if she didn't say anything".
"But who was protecting her? Who was protecting her?!"
"Erin calm down it's gonna be alright". Jay then embraced his partner and held her as she cried.
Chicago Med
Hank was still with his daughter holding her as she slept, when he looked down at her face the color had began coming back into her cheeks slowly. She still looked so fragile, when she slept she looked like the same little girl who always ran to him in the middle of the night crying from a nightmare.
He then looked up at the door to see Antonio's wife, Laura arriving with Diego and Eva he carefully and gently laid Jordan back on the back and covered her with his jacket. He quietly exited the room.
"Hey Laura, hey guys". Voight greets the trio.
"How is she?" Laura asked.
"Kids why don't you go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat so I can talk to your mom". Voight says to the kids handing them a $20 bill.
"Thanks". They said.
Once the kids were out of earshot Laura's face got a bit worried but also serious.
"What's going on?"
"Jo was shot and until we know exactly what is going on we're putting everyone's family in protective custody. So I'm gonna have a patrol car with you, the kids, and Gabriela".
"You don't think who did this to Jo would come after me or the kids do you?" She fears after Diego's kidnapping.
"I'm not sure yet we're still investigating so far this could be a personal attack on me like I said just as a precaution everyone's families is going into protective custody".
"I'm so sorry this happened if there's anything I can do please let me know".
"Thank you Laura". She then reached into her purse and grabbed a couple get well cards. "The kids got these for Jordan". She handed over the cards.
"I'll make sure she gets them".
"Is Antonio here or is he back at the station?"
"He's back at the station".
Voight looks over at the entrance to see Josh coming back and just then Jordan called out.
"Dad?" Jordan called.
"Laura would you mind checking on Jordan for just a minute I gotta talk to someone really fast".
"Sure". She then entered the teen's room.
Voight then went over to the entrance and Josh saw him approaching, the older man was getting closer and Josh had felt a chill going down his back. "Let's take a walk Josh".
The two men then began walking away from the hospital entrance once they were far enough away Voight looked back at Josh with an icy stare.
"Was I not clear enough for you when we had this discussion earlier?"
"I wanted to see Jordan before I leave".
"The one thing I hate more than the scum on the streets is seeing my daughter scared, seeing that fear in her eye I don't like that. Whenever you're around or if she even hears your name she gets scared and that make me wanna just hit you". He then picked Josh up by the front of his shirt narrowing his eyes towards him, he gripped the shirt tightly in his fist. "Now since I wasn't clear enough before I'm gonna make it crystal clear now, your gonna get in your car over there and leave town. If I hear your name or see you back in my city things will not look so good for you, but the most important thing I'm telling you; Stay away from Jordan, don't go around her, don't call her, I hear or see any of that you're going for a ride you ain't coming back from. Am I clear this time".
"Yes crystal clear".
"You know what happens to people who cross me don't be one of those people".
Voight then let go of the younger man. "Look when I said that to Jordan I was still pissed at you for getting involved with my sister all I have ever wanted to do since Anna died was to look out for Jordan".
"So that gives you the right to tell my then eight year old that your gonna take her from her family? Her father? Then if she told anyone she would regret it".
"That part slipped out I didn't mean that part".
Voight then sucker punched Josh in the midsection where he had kicked him before then bent down pulling him a bit closer. "Guess what Josh I bet you also didn't know is that I already knew. For seven long years I knew".
Josh coughed and started to get up. "H-how?"
"Justin told me about your little visit that day, you really thought I wouldn't find out? I find out everything, Jordan was too scared to bring it up so I never mentioned it. I was waiting for the day for her to tell me when she was ready. Now after tonight I don't wanna hear or see you back in my city or around Jo. Understand".
Josh nodded and went to his car leaving the hospital just as Voight watched, meanwhile Jordan had awoken and saw her dad's jacket covering her she cuddled it closer to her chest just then there was a soft knock at the door then Laura entered.
"Hi honey, how are you feeling?" Laura asked the young girl.
"I'm ok Ms. Laura, are Eva and Diego here with you?" Jordan replies with a small smile.
"Yes they are here they're in the cafeteria, I called Gabby to see if she would be coming down she told me that after their shift was over some of 51 was coming to see you".
Just then there was another knock at the door then Eva and Diego entered. Jordan considered the two like cousins, since Lexi had left the city with her boyfriend's band she would spend time with Eva and Diego.
"How are you feeling Jo?" Eva asked.
"Other than being really sore I'm ok".
"When your better do you wanna box? My dad showed me some new moves". Diego adds in.
Jordan smirked because Antonio had also been teaching her how to box. "Your on dude".
"When we go back to the restaurant we'll make you something special".
"I can't wait guys".
"Maybe we could have a party". Eva says.
"We'll see Eva for now let's, let Jordan rest she needs it and we'll be back later to check on her". Laura tells her children.
The two children carefully hug the injured teen then Laura does. "Feel better soon sweetie".
"Thanks guys".
After the visit Laura and the kids left the hospital but not before Laura had quickly stopped Voight. "Jordan's a real fighter".
"Don't I know it. I have a patrol car at your house they're in the back then they'll move to the front once you get inside I don't wanna scare the kids".
"Thank you".
"Your welcome".
She then had went back to her children just as Voight went back to see his daughter.
21st District
After Josh left and Erin had calmed down they were back to square one.
"There's something missing this couldn't have been a random shooting". Jay said.
"What if Jordan isn't telling us everything?" Ruzek asked.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Erin asked, in a defensive tone.
"Jordan didn't tell us about the notes or someone following her, what else could she be hiding?"
"She didn't tell us because she along with us were being threatened, put yourself in Jordan's shoes. If you were being followed and getting threatening notes and one saying if you said anything you along with your father and his team would die or something would happen? How would you feel?"
"Erin calm down, maybe she doesn't want Voight to know so she's hiding it and if she is we need to know". Antonio cuts in.
"Why are you telling me?"
"Other than Voight you're the only person who has a true connection with her, maybe she'll tell you or you ask. If she is hiding anything it's big and doesn't want any of us to know especially Voight".
"He's right you're better at getting her to open up". Olinsky piped in.
"I'll do the best I can but don't count on much".
Erin then got her coat and headed out of the station going back to the hospital, shortly after she had left Mouse came back with the information on Josh.
"Josh was telling the truth, the construction company was his father's till it was past down to him in June of '04 when his father died at forty five. And his phone was still in Michigan when he made two calls".
"Who were the calls too?" Jay asked.
"Drew and Joseph Jacobs".
"Jay you and Ruzek go question them". Antonio says.
"You got it". Jay responded.
The two headed out to talk to the suspects.
Chicago Med
Voight had went back to see his daughter who still was cuddling his jacket.
"Hey dad, can I ask you something".
"Sure what is it honey".
"What's gonna happen after I leave the hospital? I can't stay at the District forever, as much as you'll want me there I can't. Besides I have school and basketball practice".
"After you get released which will be in the morning you're going into protective custody, Burgess and Roman will stay with you at the house. As for school and basketball it'll be a while, your gonna be out of school for a few weeks and you won't be able to play for at least maybe 3-6 weeks".
"Oh man 3-6 weeks? We just got to the finals".
"I'm sorry Jo it's out of my hands, you gotta rest up for a while".
"I know it's just gonna suck we worked hard to get to the finals and now I gotta miss out".
"There's always next year".
"You have a point".
Just then Erin softly knocked at the door. "Hey can I come in".
"Yeah plenty of room for all of us". Voight says.
"Actually Hank could I talk to Jordan alone for a minute".
"Sure I'm gonna grab some coffee".
One he had left the room he closed it behind him leaving it slightly ajared, once the two were alone Jordan knew Erin's tone of voice.
"Jo, I know you don't wanna answer no more questions now but you have to help us fill in some of the blanks. If you're hiding something you know I won't tell anyone not even your dad, so can you think really hard other than the two boys on the football team has anyone at school ever did anything to you? Said anything to you?"
"I don't wanna say please don't make me say".
"Sweetie you know me better than anyone, you can trust me what you tell me I won't tell anyone outside of this room".
"I don't want him to find out".
"Who? Your dad?"
"Him and...and".
"Take your time honey".
"I can't let Michael find out".
"Michael? Michael Roberts? The football player you dated a few months ago".
"Yeah, Erin you gotta promise me you can't say anything to my dad".
"I promise".
Jordan wiped a tear as it came down her cheeks then began explaining. "When Michael and I started dating it was a good relationship, everything was great. Then a couple months went by and he changed".
"Changed how".
"He would get angry mainly at me for the smallest things, if I didn't call him or text him back telling him where I was when I left school, he would yell at me in the hallway if I even talked to another boy. One time I had to babysit Diego and he thought I was cheating on him because I didn't answer my phone the next day after school...we went to the parking lot of the school he punched me so hard I landed on my knees and he kicked me a few times very hard. I knew that if I didn't get out of that relationship he'd kill me so I told him that I would go to my dad if we didn't break up we broke up the day I told him that he hasn't bothered me since".
"Jo did he do it any other time?"
"Yeah a lot more, he knew you guys were cops so he would hit me where the bruises wouldn't show. He would hit me on my legs, my back, my chest, sometimes when he wasn't doing that he'd cheat on me and I couldn't say anything about it, other times he would mentally and verbally abuse me too. He would say stuff like I suck, nobody loves me, my dad got stuck with me because my mom didn't want me. He said if I told anyone that he was hitting me that he would kill me. I'm not a hundred percent sure but I think it was him who was following me".
"Alright I'll have Mouse finds where he lives and get Olinsky and Adam to pick him up".
Jordan kept wiping her face of the tears that kept coming down her eyes like a dam. "Do you think my dad is gonna be mad?"
"He'll be mad at the situation but not at you".
"I tried to fight Michael off but he was stronger than me".
"He's not gonna hurt you anymore and you did the right thing by telling me because now he can't hurt no other girls or anyone else for that matter".
What the two didn't know is that Voight was right outside the room and heard every word.
