It's been a day since Jordan was abducted, a day since Hank heard his little girl's voice. The older man remained in his office nobody hasn't said a word to him or Erin, Jay or Antonio hasn't even told him about what Will said. Antonio got up from his desk going to Hank's office he knocked on the door getting his attention.
"Hey what's up". Hank said, his voice was raspy.
"How are you doing?" Antonio asked.
"I can't stop thinking about Jo, she's out there scared and alone. I can't lose her, I just can't lose my baby". Hank wiped his eyes from the new round of tears.
"This may not be a good time to say this but back when Pulpo had Diego taken I was a mess, at first I thought I had lost my boy. But with some help from you I got my boy back and that's what we're gonna do, we'll do everything to get Jordan back alive".
"Thank you".
Erin was in the lounge pouring her fourth cup of coffee trying to stay alert and focused, she was depressed it may have been a day since Jordan was kidnapped it felt longer to her. When she heard her sister's voice she was ready to break down and cry but the whole time she managed to keep it bottled up for the time. Jay went to check on his partner, she held her head down the whole time.
"Hey you ok". Jay spoke.
"I remember the first time I met Jo, she was 2 and a half I went over to Hank's house and there she was on the floor coloring. From that moment I loved her, she became my little sister". Erin said.
"Erin we'll find Jordan I promise you we will".
"I know we will".
Erin then set her coffee mug down leaving the lounge going down to the cage to see Charlie, the whole time anger was surging through her body. She reached the bottom of the steps, when she looked over at Charlie more anger and rage surged through her body as she stormed over there.
Erin banged on the bars to the cage getting Charlie's attention, the dark haired man looked up to see Erin glaring down at him.
"Well, well, what's the matter Erin? Miss me". Charlie says giving a smirk.
"I'm only going to ask you one time before things get ugly. Where are your guys keeping Jordan?" Erin spoke.
"Just like I told Hank, let me out and I'll tell you".
Erin then unlocked the door to the cage stepping inside. "Now you just pissed off the wrong woman".
Meanwhile
Jordan was still tied up in the basement of the run down house, Caleb placed a mask over her head and kept the tape over the teen's mouth. Little beads of sweat started to cover the teen's forehead, some of her hair started to stick to her forehead. Jordan was lost in her thoughts, how long had she been in the basement? A day? A week? A month? She didn't know all she did know is that her father was doing everything in his power to find her.
The basement was cold that it was giving the teen chills, Jordan was wearing a short sleeve shirt and jean shorts. She was shivering the whole time. Her muscles were beginning to burn and ache, her stomach kept growling she hadn't eaten in almost a day the teen hoped they at least gave her food and water.
Drew unlocked the basement door going down there he held in his hand a granola bar and bottle of water, he began walking down the steps. Jordan heard footsteps she whimpered at not knowing who it is. The dirty blond man took the mask off Jordan's face then took the tape off.
"Please...let...me...go". Jordan said weakly.
"As soon as you're father gives us what we want". Drew said.
He opened the bottle of water and put it too the teen's mouth, the cool water soothed Jordan's dry throat. When Drew took a pocket knife out the teen's eyes went widened in fear he took the small knife to her wrist, she shut her eyes tightly as he cut the tape on her wrist.
"Here". Drew handed her the granola bar.
"How do I know if it's safe?"
"Would I give it to you if it wasn't?"
Jordan looked at the packaged snack in her hands, she was hungry but wasn't sure about the snack. She unwrapped it and started to take small bites of it, Drew was pacing the room nervously while Jordan watched.
"You don't have to do this you know". Jordan said, breaking him from his thoughts.
"And miss out on another ten grand? I don't think so". Drew replied.
'So this is about money? I think I have an idea'. "What if you don't get it?"
"Of course I'll get it you're father will do anything for you".
"That's not what I mean, what if you're friend if that's what you wanna call him takes your share of the money and skips town".
"How would you know that?"
"Dude, my dad is a police Sergeant I grew up around cops my whole life hell my whole family are cops. I hear what people will do for money, some kill, some people turn on their friends or partners. What if he turns on you for your half of the money and skips town leaving you to go to jail".
"He wouldn't do that, would he?"
"Some people would do anything for a full twenty grand, I know I would. Could I use the bathroom I hate to ask but it's a girl thing".
Drew then cut the tapes on her ankles, Jordan slowly stood up taking her time once she got to her feet she took her time when Drew wasn't looking the teen took the nearest object which was a tire iron. The teen used all her strength she had and hit Drew over the head then made a run for the stairs, Caleb heard a commotion coming from the basement so he went to go check.
He saw Jordan struggling to get up the stairs while Drew was slowly starting to get up off the floor once Jordan reached the top of the stairs she collided with Caleb's body. Caleb circled his strong arms around the teen's body.
"Let go of me". Jordan said, struggling to get out of Caleb's hold.
Caleb then carried Jordan back down the stairs, forcing her back in the chair. He reached for the rope that was close by and began tying her back up.
"Really Drew you let a teenage girl get the drop on you". Caleb said in disbelief.
"I didn't even see her". Drew shot back.
"And how'd you even do that?" Caleb asked, turning his attention to Jordan.
"You're kidding me right? My dad's a cop, my brother was in the army, I was raised around cops my whole life. I was trained by the best of the best, it'll be a matter of time before they get a hold of you and do a hell of a lot worse. That's what I can do just wait till you see what my family can do, it'll be a matter of time till you suffer by the hands of my dad". Jordan said boldly.
Caleb then backhanded Jordan so hard a little blood came from her lip, he then taped her wrist and ankles back to the desk.
"Face it you know I'm telling the truth, I heard people going against my dad before and it never ends well for them. You don't know my dad as well as I do, you don't know the lengths he'll go to I'm just warning you my dad isn't someone you want to screw with because as people say payback can be a real bitch". The teen finished.
"Look here kid I'm not afraid of anybody, I'm not afraid of your father. As long as he gives us our money you're free to go". Caleb said, looking Jordan in the eye.
The teen then spit in Caleb's face which angered him even more, he took the tape and cut another piece off putting it across her mouth again. He then took his phone out taking a picture of Jordan and sent it to Voight.
"Let's see what you're daddy has to say about that".
Caleb then put the mask back over Jordan's face, he then helped Drew get back to his feet. The two men went back upstairs padlocking the door, Drew got some ice putting it on the back of his head as he winced.
"How in the hell did you let that happen?" Caleb demanded.
"I didn't let anything happen, she caught me off guard". Drew shot back.
"Well next time don't untie her for anything! She almost got away incase you forgotten that girl is gonna get us twenty grand remember that. I have a few errands to run I'll be back soon and just so you won't forget don't untie the girl for anything, don't even go down there for anything".
With that said Caleb left the house leaving Drew still nursing his sore head but what Jordan said to him stuck in his mind. Would Caleb turn on him for his share of the money? Once Caleb got all the money would he skip town with it? All that roamed his mind.
Jordan was in the basement she couldn't breath well wearing the mask, after a few minutes she felt something warm start coming out of her nose and realized what it was; Blood. She needed a new plan one that wouldn't get her killed in the process. The teen let out a whimper as tears prickled in her eyes, she wanted to be back with Erin, with the team, most of all she wanted to be back with her father.
District 21
Erin had Charlie standing on his feet his wrist cuffed to the cage, he was smirking and chuckling at her. She kept punching him in the abdomen, across the face, she was about to pistol whip him with her gun.
"You won't get me to talk Erin, not unless you let me out of her". He said.
"I'm not falling for your tricks Charlie, even if I did let you out the first thing you would do is run and that's not happening. Now tell me where Jordan is". Erin said.
"Why so interested in a girl who's not even your real sister?"
"She is my sister! Jo's been my sister since she was 2. I won't give up looking for her, now where is she".
"Tell you what I'll offer you a once in a lifetime deal, I'll tell you where you're precious sister is".
"I'm not letting you go".
"You let me go come back to work with me and I'll tell you where little Jordan is, time is of the essence being she's sick and needs her chemo. She doesn't get the chemo she could die". He then smirked looking at her. "So Erin what will it be?"
Hank had somewhat calmed down but was still on edge the whole time, his phone buzzed signaling a text message he picked his phone up unlocking it. The message was from the same unknown number that called he opened the message, his throat tightened and he held the phone tighter in his hand that it could have broke. When he saw the picture of his daughter tied up it infuriated him, Hank took a closer look to see his daughter's cheek a reddish color.
He walked out to the squad getting everyone's attention, the older man had went over to Mouse giving the tech his phone. "See if you can trace the number from this message". He said.
"You got it". Mouse replied.
The tech began typing on his computer rapidly, Hank then faced the rest of the team.
"Where did you get with the receipts?" Hank asked the team.
"The one for the video camera, it was purchased at an electronics shop at the Riverfront Plaza". Adam says.
"I checked the one for the hardware store, it's close to the Riverfront Plaza". Kevin said.
"Get on it".
Adam and Kevin then got up leaving the squad, Hank looked around and couldn't find Erin. "Where's Lindsay?"
"She's talking to Charlie". Jay answered.
Hank then walked down going to the cage. Erin looked at Charlie after hearing his deal, she would do anything to find out where her sister was but to go back to the man and work for him years after getting her life straightened out.
"Tick tock Erin, what's the answer gonna be? Jordan doesn't have a lot of time". Charlie said.
Erin knew she would dread the next words that were about to leave her mouth. "What do you want me to do first?"
"First get me out of here".
She unlocked the cuffs from his wrists releasing him, he sent her a smug look. "Let's go I wanna get a drink".
"I let you go now tell me where Jordan is".
"Patience Erin, I'll tell you where you're sister is in due time".
Hank then got to the bottom to see Erin in the cage with Charlie who was now uncuffed, he stormed over. "What's going on here".
"Hank". Erin says surprised.
"Hey Voight, Erin and I were just talking right Er". Charlie said, looking at her.
"Erin let's go". Hank said.
She then left the cage shutting and locking it behind her following Hank away from Charlie.
"What do you think you're doing?" Hank asked in a whisper.
"Charlie made me a deal, he'll say where Jo is if I...I go back to work with him". Erin replied quietly.
"Not happening".
"This could be our one chance to finding Jo besides I do have a plan".
"What is it".
"As soon as he tells me her location I text it to you and arrest his ass, I wouldn't do anything without consulting you first".
"Are you sure this will work?"
"I don't know until I try".
"As soon as he gives up Jo's location you cuff his ass".
"Won't be a problem".
"Be careful Erin, I don't wanna lose either of my girls".
"I will".
"The first sign of trouble I'm stopping it".
"Alright, I just wanted to let you know I'm doing this for Jo".
"Thank you Erin".
"I'd do anything for her".
"I know".
Hank then turned going upstairs while Erin went back to Charlie, she didn't want to do this but it was for Jordan. She opened the door to the cage, Erin had a look of disbelief on her face looking at Charle but kept telling herself over and over, 'It's for Jordan'.
"Before I let you go just know one thing, when we find Jordan I'll end you". Erin said, venom was laced into her voice.
"I'm in the mood for a drink, what do you say Erin". Charlie says.
"Get your ass up and let's go".
The two left the District walking down the streets.
Meanwhile
Kevin and Adam have arrived to the electronics stop at the Riverfront Plaza, the two men tried to focus on the job but couldn't help but think about Jordan. When the two first met Jordan she was twelve and in just a short couple weeks she wormed her way into their hearts.
The two walked in the store to see a short man in his late thirties, he had short jet black hair, chocolate brown eyes, he had a small beard. The man wore a uniform shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. They approach the man.
"Excuse me, Chicago PD". Kevin said.
The man looked up a little frightened. "How can I help you officers".
"Have either of these men come in recently come in to buy a video camera". Adam asked, showing the pictures of Caleb and Drew.
The man looked even more nervous when he saw the pictures, Caleb was his brother and knew exactly what he was doing. He then bolted out of the store which caused Kevin and Adam to chase after him, he was running down the street and ended up crashing into someone. The two partners finally arrive just as the man was getting up, Adam picked him up by the back of his shirt.
"Looks like we'll try this again, first what's your name". Adam said.
"Aiden Parker, Caleb's my brother he came to me for a video camera never said what for". Aiden said.
"Are you aware that you're brother kidnapped our Sergeant's 15 year old daughter". Kevin spoke.
"Hold on that kid's father is a cop?"
"You were in on the kidnapping? Adam, asked angrily.
"Caleb told me he was coming into some money, a guy Charlie told him if he helped him get a girl he'd get twenty grand. Ten before and ten after, he offered me the same deal because I have skills he needed".
"Which is what exactly".
"I'm good with technology he needed a camera set up".
"Let's get him back, Voight may want to talk to him". Kevin said.
Aiden then became more frightened. "Woah woah did you say Voight? As in Hank Voight?"
"You know him?"
"Yeah he arrested me a few times, I use to be his CI. He told me if I ever crossed his path again he'd take me on a ride I wouldn't come back from".
"Let's go".
The two detectives dragged Aiden back to their car putting him in the back driving to the District.
Meanwhile
Jordan was still in the basement, she began to feel very warm the teen felt sweat trickle down her face. Her nose had stopped bleeding but was afraid it was gonna start again. The teen's breathing began to hitch making it hard for her to breath, she began to move around in the chair hoping to free herself but didn't want to attract too much attention.
Caleb then arrived back to the house carrying bags setting them down, Drew was in the kitchen drinking a beer he emerged from the kitchen beer in hand looking at his partner.
"Where'd you go off to?" Drew asked.
"Had to get some supplies can't have the kid dying on us before the three days is up". Caleb replied.
"Why haven't we heard from Charlie yet?"
"How the hell should I know? Do I look like his keeper?"
"You don't have to be a smartass".
"I'm gonna check on the kid, you stay there and don't touch anything".
"You know Caleb I'm not five so don't treat me like it!"
"I'm trying to make sure you don't screw up like you did earlier!"
Drew then stormed out of the house before things got way too heated, Caleb then took some stuff out of the bags. He took a cool water bottle and a protein bar then went over to the basement door unlocking it going down the stairs, the teen heard footsteps again her breathing was still hitched when Caleb took the mask off she inhaled air. Caleb took the tape off her mouth and she greedily inhaled oxygen.
"Please...let...me...go". Jordan said weakly.
"Shut it". Caleb said.
"You...don't...understand….please".
Calen opened the bottle of water and put it to Jordan's mouth and she drank the water, once the bottle was finished he took it back then unwrapped the protein bar and put it in her mouth as she took a bite. Jordan then had an idea, 'one down one to go'.
"So...I heard...you and...your partner...fighting". Jordan says, between bites.
"So what". Caleb replied.
"I'm just saying, that's not how partners should act especially when twenty grand is on the table. What if he's plotting against you? For all you know he could take you're half of the money and skip town with it, it's something I would do".
"How do you know all that?"
"I'm the kid of a police Sergeant, I was raised around cops my whole life. I've spent days after school at my dad's District all I did was listen in while doing my homework".
"He wouldn't do that".
"You don't know that hell you don't know him, you won't know what he'll do once you guys get the money for all you know he could kill you for your share".
Caleb then put the tape back on her mouth and pulled the mask back over going upstairs, he locked the door and started to think about what Jordan said. Would Drew kill him for his share of the money? Was Drew plotting against him? Many things roamed his mind about his partner he had to act first before Drew acted first.
Elsewhere
Erin was with Charlie in a bar, the dark haired man was drink a beer while Erin was sipping on a club soda.
"Oh cheer up Erin have a drink and relax". Charlie spoke.
"I have a question Charlie. Why Jordan, what did she ever do to you?" Erin glared over at him.
"When I first saw the little brat I knew she'd be perfect bait to get to you and Hank, you two ruined my life by forcing me to leave the city but doing your detective work you found out I never left. I followed that kid everyday for four years just waiting and waiting till I got her".
"Jordan didn't deserve any of that Charlie, she's just a kid who's done nothing to deserve that".
"You care about her, she's Voight's kid, I wanted you both to suffer she was the perfect bait".
Erin was tempted to go for her gun and just end Charlie right there. "Alright Charlie, you're out and you had your drink. Now tell me where Jordan is now, she's sick and if she doesn't get her chemo there is a chance she will die and I know you don't want that to happen. If Jordan dies Voight will come after all of you full force and show no mercy".
"Just be patient Erin I'll tell you in due time".
21st District
Adam and Kevin have returned with Aiden who was still freaking out.
"Look please don't take me to Voight, I agreed to stay away from him and if he sees me he will kill me". Aiden said freaked out.
"Will you just shut up". Adam said.
"I'd rather die than face him again".
The two men brought him upstairs once they got to the top of the stairs, Mouse was on his computer tracing the unknown number, Jay, Antonio, Burgess, and Olinsky were checking known associates for Caleb, Drew, Jon, and Marcus. Hank remained in his office trying to keep himself together, the two partners drag Aiden to Hank's office door. Kevin knocks and Hank signs for them to enter his office.
"Boss we have someone who you may want to see". Kevin said.
"Who". Hank replies.
Adam and Kevin bring Aiden through the door and he looks at Hank with a terrified expression. Hank looked at Aiden with a glare.
"Aiden Parker it's been what almost 16 years". Hank said.
"Been a long time Hank". Aiden said.
Hank looked at his two detectives. "There a reason he's here?"
"Yeah, Aiden you wanna tell him or should one of us do it". Adam spoke.
"Tell me what".
"Caleb Parker is his brother, he's the one who gave him the video camera and burner phone".
"Voight I swear to god if I had known the girl they were talking about was your kid I wouldn't have agreed to it".
Hank got up from his chair moving towards Aiden he roughly picks him up by his shirt getting nose to nose with him shooting daggers at him. "You're brother has my daughter and now I have his brother. Ruzek, Atwater put his ass in the cage".
The two men then drag Aiden down to the cage. "Wait what's the cage?" Aiden asked.
"You'll find out soon enough". Kevin said.
Once they were underground Aiden was still fighting Kevin and Adam's hold but failed to get out of it, while Adam held onto Aiden Kevin opened the door then Aiden was thrown in by Adam.
"That's police brutality". Aiden said.
"Dude you haven't seen brutality yet". Kevin said.
"You can't leave me here now with Voight coming".
"See that's not up to us it's up to the boss which is Voight and the mood he's in right now, you don't want to piss him off more than he already is". Adam spoke.
With that said the two men went upstairs back to the squad, Hank went over to Mouse who was still tracing the number.
"Hey you able to get a location yet". Hank said.
"No but I'm still trying, you can't get a trace off a burner phone but I'll keep trying". Mouse replied.
"Thanks".
Without another word to the team he went down to the cage where Aiden is, when Aiden heard footsteps he felt his heart racing in his chest so fast it could have popped out. He already knew it was Hank but what confused him was when the older man opened the garage door going out to his car, when Hank opened his trunk he grabbed a bag he had kept back there he then shut the trunk going back inside and closing the garage door.
"Voight please there has to be something, anything I can do". Aiden said.
"This can go one of two ways, the first way you give up where you're brother has my daughter and you don't get hurt or I force it out of you what's it gonna be". Hank replies, opening the bag.
"You gotta believe me I don't know where my brother or you daughter is, if i knew I'd tell you".
"Well then I guess we'll go with option two".
When Hank pulled something from the bag Aiden's eyes widened in fear, Hank was holding a pair of pliers in his hand going to the cage he opened the cage door stepping inside.
