The team stood outside of Jordan's room watching the scene in front of them; Jordan was laying in her father's arms fast asleep with her face buried in his chest. Hank was gently rocking her.
"Should we tell him?" Kevin asked.
"Not yet". Olinsky said.
"Well he should know". Adam says coming in.
"I know but he needs to be with Jo right now".
"I don't wanna be any of them when Voight finds out". Kevin said.
"Neither do I". Adam agreed.
21st District
Erin went down to the cage to talk with Derek, Jay or Antonio didn't stop her because they knew she was a force to be reckoned with. They also knew not to mess with her while she's pissed or they'll feel her wrath. When she got to the bottle of the stairs where the cage was she saw the teen boy just sitting on the bench feeling guilty, she went over to the cage.
"Derek". Erin said.
The teen boy looked up at her with slightly red eyes he quickly wiped them and sniffed. "Detective Lindsay, I'm so sorry for everything I did. You have to believe me I didn't want to hurt Jordan but Charlie made me, he said he'd kill me and my parents if I didn't do it".
"Why not come to one of us?"
"I was going to time and time again I wanted to but knowing what he's capable of I'm not crossing him".
"What's your connection to Charlie?"
"My cousin".
Erin furrowed her brow in confusion. "I didn't know he had a cousin".
"Were not blood related cousins, our moms were really close and he looked out for me a lot. A few years ago I got busted with weed he got me out of that and a whole bunch of other messes, he told me I owed him but he never told me what all he said was when the day comes I better help him or me and my parents will end up dead. I swear I didn't think or know he'd shoot Jordan I thought he was gonna scare her or something. When I saw her on the ground bleeding I thought she was dead but she was breathing".
"You called 911".
"Yeah I bolted before they got there".
"What happened the day Jordan got shot".
"After practice Jordan left going to the District like she always does I told her I couldn't go because I had to be home early so she went without me. Charlie was following her and I was following him, she went into the store while he waited for he the second she came out of the store he jumped her. He threw her down and started kicking Jordan next thing I know he pulls out a gun and shoots her".
"You didn't try and stop him?"
"No I wanted to but I wasn't risking my life or my parents life".
"What about Jordan and her life? Does she even matter to you? You watched Charlie beat her then shoot her and you left her there to die".
"I called for help".
"So you called for help what happened after that".
"I stayed with her for a couple of minutes but when I heard the sirens I bolted. Charlie saw me when I ran he said that was a dumb mistake I pulled and if I did it again...I'll end up at the bottom of the river".
"Where's Charlie now?"
"I don't know".
"Derek don't lie to me".
"I'm not lying I swear".
Jay then came down the stairs. "Erin we got something".
Chicago Med
Hank still remained by his daughter's side not moving, the team still remained outside of Jordan's room. The teen held a special place in everyone's hearts and they would be devastated if she was gone. They also knew that Voight needed to know the truth about Jordan's attack and more.
"I'll be the one to tell him". Olinsky said.
"You sure?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah".
Alvin then went by his goddaughter's door and gently knocked getting Hank's attention. The knocking on the door got Hank's attention as he looked over to see his friend.
"Hey Al". Hank greeted the man.
"Hey man, you got a minute I gotta talk to you about something".
"Yeah".
When Hank moved that caused Jordan to stir and wake up, the teen looked at her father with blurry eyes. "Dad? What's going on?" Her voice was filled with sleep.
""I gotta talk to Alvin about something I'll be back".
"Uncle Alvin's here?"
Jordan loved her surrogate uncle she's close with Lexi, when the girls were younger they were almost like sisters. Alvin would sometimes watch Jordan for Hank.
"Hey kiddo". Alvin greeted his niece.
"Hi Uncle Alvin". Jordan replied, giving a small smile.
"Feeling better?"
"A little".
"Jo I'm gonna borrow your dad for a quick minute".
Jordan looked at her father her eyes were widened a bit.
"I'll be back Jo, we'll be right outside I promise". Hank assured her.
"Ok". Jordan replied.
"You feeling up for a couple visitors?"
"Sure".
The two men headed out then Adam and Kevin entered the room, Jordan smiled the guys in the unit were like her older brothers they all loved her and she loved them.
"Hey guys". Jordan said.
"Hey Jo". Adam said, hugging her carefully.
"How's it going Little Voight". Kevin says, hugging her.
"I'm ok just a tad sore".
"Jo how about when you're better we go to a Sox's game". Adam says.
"I'm in".
"Jo, Vanessa and Jordan were asking about you. They wanted to know once you were up to it if you like to go ice skating".
"I'm down for it".
While they kept talking Hank and Alvin were outside the room talking.
"So what's up Al". Hank said.
"We know what happened to Jo. Everything". Alvin replied.
"Who was it?"
"It was Charlie but Bunny and Derek knew about it. Derek was spying on Jordan for Charlie he told him her routine".
"What?!"
When Voight yelled it caught everyone's attention, Jordan was taken back when she heard her father yell. She heard her father raise his voice before but when he yelled it frightened her a bit.
"Is everything ok guys?" Jordan asked.
The two men didn't want to be the ones to tell her anything without feeling Voight's wrath luckily the teen was able to drop it for the time being. Outside of the room Hank was furious, his blood was boiling.
"Where is he?" Hank asked, his voice was dangerous and cold.
"My guess would be down at the District".
"I'm going down there, nobody is to get in or out of Jo's room except us and the doctors".
"Hank what are you doing?"
"Trust me Al you don't wanna know".
He then calmed down some and went to see his daughter, when Adam and Kevin saw him enter the room they left to give the father and daughter some privacy.
"Dad what's wrong, I heard you yell". Jordan spoke.
"It's just something about the case, I gotta head to the District for a few minutes if you need something the guys are right outside and I'm only a phone call away". Hank said, brushing her hair back.
"Promise you'll come back".
"I'll always comes back to you sweetheart".
He kissed her head and left her room as his face became hard and dangerous, when the others had seen his face they had became scared. Hank walked out of the hospital heading to his car and going to the District.
21st District
Jay, Erin, Antonio, and Mouse were in the squad going over some new information.
"Alright Mouse what do you have". Antonio spoke.
"First Marcus Young, 27, he has a couple assault charges, one assault with a deadly weapon, a few counts of battery, attempted robbery, attempted murder, stalking, and attempted kidnapping.
Jon Ryder, 25, he has quite a few battery charges, aggravated battery, distribution, gun possession, drug possession, and trafficking".
Caleb Parker, 30, he has a few robbery charges, a couple assault charges, one assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, a couple DUIs, and domestic violence".
Drew Jacobs, 29, he has possession, distribution, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, robbery, and stalking". Mouse listed off.
"How are these guys still on the street?" Erin asked.
"They were about to be tried when the victims disappeared, never seen or heard from again".
"How'd Charlie meet these guys?" Jay asked.
"Could have met them when he left Chicago". Erin answered.
"So you guys think Voight knows? You think one of them told him yet?"
"I'm gonna guess and say he knows".
"I don't wanna be any of them if he does know". Antonio said.
Hank had just arrived to the District when he got out, he stormed inside the patrolmen looked at him. When Platt saw him she knew that look and it wasn't a good one either, it was the same look he had when he confronted Justin's killer.
He stormed up the stairs he scanned his hand then went up to the squad, when Erin saw him she got quiet. When he was in full view of the squad everyone it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Where is he?" Hank asked, his voice cold and hard.
"In the cage". Erin answered.
Without another word the older man had went to the cage once he was gone they began talking again.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he knows". Antonio said.
Hank was walking down the stairs that led to the cage, when he reached the bottom he saw the teen boy in the cage laying on the bench wide awake. He silently walked over to the cage and banged on it getting the kid's attention. Derek heard banging on the cage so he looked over to see Hank, his eyes held a dangerous look as if he was going to kill him.
"Mr. Voight I'm sorry-" Derek started but was cut off.
"You're gonna shut up and listen to me". Hank said.
"I'm sorry".
"The one thing I hate the most is seeing my daughter hurt or scared. When I see that I get pissed off because she didn't do anything to deserve it. But seeing her in a hospital bed with a hole in her side and come to find out she's sick that makes me more than pissed it makes me wanna go after the person responsible and you're gonna tell me where he is or things aren't gonna look good for you".
"I don't know where Charlie is I swear. I told his dumbass I didn't want to do this but he made me".
"He made you?"
"Yes, when he was forced to leave Chicago the dude was pissed like I never seen before. He knew when he was here before that you had a daughter so he told me that I had to befriend her and eventually fall for her. I told him everything, where she went after school, who her friends were, where she would hang out. All of it".
"You put the notes in her locker and on my door?"
"I thought that's how he was gonna scare her once I gave him enough information on her he told me my job was done it was his turn so the day she was shot he followed her and I was following him, the second Jo came out of the store he dragged her to the alley and jumped her. I saw him kick her a few times then I heard a bang noise he saw me and said if I told anyone I'd end up at the bottom of the river".
"Did you see a scratch on him anywhere?"
"I did see something around his left eye, it was red".
"You're gonna tell me where Charlie is".
"How many ways can I say I don't know! He never tells me where he goes and frankly I don't ask he's not one to share information".
Well you're gonna help us find him one way or another".
"How do you expect me to do that?"
"Leave that to us".
Hank then left the teen confused as he went back upstairs to talk to Bunny, as he was going to interrogation Erin had went up to him.
"I'm going back to the hospital to see Jo, what do you want me to tell her?" Erin asked.
"Nothing". Hank replied.
"Hank she has a right to know, Derek lied to her for months. He deceived her, and you wanna leave her in the dark".
"It's to protect her".
"She needs to know her relationship isn't even real. Jordan's already hurt and you wanna keep hurting her by not telling her the truth".
"Alright just tell her about Derek nothing more. Did you already see your mother?"
"Bunny is not my mother, she's nothing to me. The only mother I ever had was Camille and you're the only father I have. I've forgiven her over and over again over the years, some stuff I let her slide on but this going after Jo she crossed the line. I'm not putting up with her anymore nor am I dealing with her anymore. She's somebody's else's problem now I'm done".
With that said Erin turned and walked away from her father figure as she left going back to Med. Hank went and found the room Bunny was in, he looked at her through the mirror. He somehow managed to keep his calm with Derek he didn't know how he was gonna do it with Bunny.
Bunny still sat in the interrogation room, she was depressed when Erin had decided to cut her off completely now she was just waiting. Waiting to see if Hank will lash out at her as well her thoughts were broken from the door being opened, she looked over to see the older man with the same dangerous look on his face.
"Hank-" Bunny started but was cut off.
"Shut up. I don't wanna hear it, you had the audacity to bring my daughter. My kid into something that happened before she was even born". Hank replies.
"You don't know what it's like to lose a child, your child to someone else. When you took Erin from me I was hurt for years and you don't know what that's like".
"I know what it feels like to lose a child, but you went too damn far with this. What did Jordan ever do to you or Charlie to make either of you do this? Nothing. You went after her to get at me and that was a big mistake".
Hank then walked out and Antonio went up to him. "You need to see this". He handed the list of the names over.
Chicago Med
Erin had arrived back to Med, she kept her guard up the whole time. She kept looking around as if Charlie was gonna pop up at anytime and if he did she was gonna be ready. She walked inside heading to her sister's room outside of the room stood Olinsky, Kin, and Sean while Kevin and Adam kept the teen occupied.
"Hey guys". Erin says approaching.
"Hey". The others greeted.
"Is Jo ok?"
"She's fine".
She then went to the door and knocked getting everyone's attention. When the teen saw her sister she had gotten a smile.
"Erin". Jordan said with a smile.
"Hey Jordy. Guys could I have a minute with Jo please". Erin says.
"Sure". They said.
The two men pat Jordan's shoulder then headed out of the room closing the door behind them, Erin then took a seat next to her sister and took a hold of her hand.
"Jo, you know you're dad and I love you very much. We'll do anything in our power to protect you and keep you safe at all times".
Jordan was now beginning to get confused. "Erin what are you talking about?"
"Jo there's something you need to know about Derek".
"What?"
"Sweetie he lied to you, for months. He's not who he said he is".
"No he loves me, Derek wouldn't lie".
"Jordy he confessed to helping the man who did this to you, he spied on you for months. I'm so sorry".
Tears were now rolling down the teen's cheeks as she kept shaking her head, not believing the information.
"No I'm telling you he wouldn't do it, he loves me! Derek loves me!"
"I'm sorry Jo but he doesn't it was all a lie to get you to drop your guard".
Erin couldn't stand to see her sister in so much pain, she wished she could do something to help her. She then pulled the teen into her arms and held her as she cried.
"No no no he loves me". Jordan cried.
"It's alright Jordy, the only man you need in your dad he'll always love you no matter what".
"I...thought...h-he loved me".
"It's all gonna be ok Jo I promise".
"I-I want daddy".
"Alright I'll call him".
Jordan clutched to her sister as she continued to cry, the others looked on from outside the room.
"Voight is gonna kill this kid". Adam said
"If he hasn't already". Kevin said.
21st District
Voight had read over the files Mouse had gotten, he was getting more and more angry by the minute. He felt his blood boiling, the older man kept taking deep breaths trying to control his anger. Antonio was watching him from his desk, he remembered what it was like when Pulpo did it to Diego. The senior detective stood up and walked into Hank's office shutting the door behind him, when the door shut Hank looked over to see Antonio.
"What's up". Hank said.
"I know how you're feeling right now, you're angry and scared that something else is gonna happen to Jo but we will find Charlie and his crew before they can do anything else". Antonio said.
"She's a kid bro, done nothing wrong. I screwed up so many times with Justin I wanted to do right by Jo, I did everything in my power to raise her right, to make sure she didn't make the same mistakes Justin and I made. I did everything in my power to make sure she's stays safe".
"You did that like you said she's a good kid, did nothing wrong".
"When Jo was just a little girl she always got scared in the middle of the night from monsters, I told her the monsters ran when they heard me coming because they were afraid of me".
"I wish everyone who heard your name ran".
"Were gonna get Derek to lead us to Charlie". Hank changing the subject.
"How are we gonna do that?"
"We get him to call Charlie say we're closing in get him to meet up when we see him we take his ass".
Jay was taking a bottle of water and chips down to Derek who still remained in the cage, after Derek confessed he needed to talk to Jordan. The detective walked over to the cage handing the teen the items.
"Here you go". Jay said.
"Thanks". Derek said.
Just as Jay was walking away Derek stopped him. "Wait". He called out.
"What". Jay replied.
"I wanna see Jordan, I need to talk to her".
Jay then walked back over to the cage glaring at the boy. "You're not going near her for anything. Know this Derek, Jordan is like my little sister and I will do anything to protect her. Besides that's not up to me it's up to her father and just between us I don't think there's a chance in hell he'll let you see her let alone talk to her".
With that said Jay went back up to the squad leaving Derek alone back in his thoughts. Hank was in his office when his phone rang, it was Erin.
-What's up Erin. Hank answered.
-Jo wants you to come back. Erin replied.
-I'm on my way.
He hung up and instantly knew once Jordan was told the truth about Derek, she'd want her father. He got his jacket and keys leaving, nobody asked where he was going because they knew.
Chicago Med
Jordan had finally calmed down but she still wanted her father, her crying had ceased but she occasionally sniffed. Erin brushed her hair back then gently rubbed her back soothingly.
"Why'd he do it Erin? I thought he loved me". Jordan says, her voice still breaking.
Erin knew why Derek did it but she didn't want to tell her sister. "I don't know sweetie".
"I loved him Erin and I still love him".
"Jo it's gonna be ok Derek is just one guy, you'll meet new guys. One day you will find the one who's right for you".
"Like you and Jay".
Erin was taken back a little then chuckled. "You know about that?"
"I knew from the moment Jay came in you two would end up together and I was right, hell if I wanted too I could have bet on it".
"You would have ratted me out if you had the chance".
"Not really, you deserve to be happy and you're happy with Jay. The minute he hurts you he deals with me".
"You're dad said the exact same thing".
"Erin could I ask a favor".
"Sure honey what is it".
"When I get out of here and go into the safe house could you grab me a few things from home".
"Absolutely what'd you want?"
"My IPod, my laptop, a few movies, a couple books, chargers of course, and….and".
"And what Jordy".
"Could you maybe grab one of Justin's pillows, his blanket, and a couple of his shirts I sleep better at night with them".
Erin knew Jordan slept in Justin's room after he passed, she'd wake up in the middle of the night and go in his room. She'd cuddled with one of his pillows every night and keep the blanket close to her, sometimes she'd wear one of his shirts to help her feel better.
"Yeah I can get it for you".
After 5 minutes Hank had arrived again going straight for his daughter's room, he got closer to her room to see the remaining members of the unit quietly talking and sipping coffee. He went towards their direction first. Alvin seen his friend heading towards them so he looked at him.
"Hey everything alright". Alvin said.
"The little punk confessed so he's gonna help us get Charlie". Hank replied.
"How's he gonna do that?" Ruzek asked.
"Leave that to me. I want the safe house Jo's going into setup, when she goes to the house nobody and i repeat nobody goes in that house but us. If something happens I'm the first person to be notified asap". He then turned to Burgess and Roman. "I'm putting you two as her protective detail, she doesn't leave your sight for a second. I trust the two of you to watch and protect my daughter, I lost one child already and I'll be damned if I'm losing another".
"We'll protect Jo with our lives Sergeant, we won't let you down". Sean said.
"She won't leave our sight for a second". Kim added.
"Anything happens to her I'm holding you two responsible". Hank told the two.
"Yes sir".
He then went to see his daughter, when the door opened Erin and Jordan looked over to see Hank. This time around he has a gentle soft look on his face when Jordan saw her father she began to get emotional again, her bottom lip quivered. A new fresh round of tears overcame her she then held her arms out like a five year old, wanting to be held by her father.
Jordan had always felt safe and protected in her father's arms, when Justin or Erin held her it wasn't the same as being held by her father. Hank's familiar smell of gunpowder and his cologne it had a calming effect on her ever since she was a little girl whenever she was upset it calmed her. He then went over to her and brought her into his arms holding her tightly. Jordan buried her face into his shoulder crying.
Erin decided to step out to give them some privacy, after a couple of moments the teen had stopped crying but remained in her father's hold. She sniffed a couple of times, she had some of his shirt in his fist.
"Why'd he do it daddy, I thought he loved me". Jordan sniffed.
"I can't explain why he did it but some guys will say they love you just to say it, the only guys you'll need are me and the guys on the team. Plus I'll always love you sweetheart, guys may come and go but me I'll never go".
"I love you too daddy, you'll always be my hero. You'll be my Batman".
Hank chuckled and kissed her head, everyone watched the father and daughter. It brought them to tears some they all knew one thing for sure; They needed to get Charlie and his crew before it's too late.
