Jordan- 12
It was the early set of winter in Chicago and the temperatures were getting a bit brutal. One day Jordan was at school and Hank and the team was in the middle of a bust.
Jay had the battering ram waiting for Hank's command, he looked back to his boss and the older man gave the nod and the Detective rammed the door in busting it down.
"Chicago PD!" Antonio yelled.
The entire team had swarmed in by this point with their weapons raised up, everyone in the house was running around like mice. Hank was the last one in as they began their arrest. Jay and Erin were running after a suspect but the guy ended up taking a few turns and eventually lost the two detectives.
"We lost him". Jay says into the radio.
"Let's head back". Erin says to her partner.
The two started heading back to the house. The gang that they arrested were standing with their hands behind their back being held by the handcuffs. Hank had stayed with them, the leader smirked at the older man.
"You gonna pay for this Voight". Demarcus spoke with a smirk.
"Shut your mouth before I shut it for you". Hank replied.
"I've been meaning to ask Sergeant, how's you're daughter doing? Her name's Jordan right".
After that was said, Hank, then roughly yanked Demarcus up by the front of his shirt getting nose to nose with him, a dark look planted on his face.
"If anything happens to her if she so much as skins her knee I'll skin you". Hank's voice was cold and dangerous.
"Hey, Sarge let him go". Antonio advised him.
Hank continued to glare at the man till he let him go, he put his gun back in his holster before he did something stupid. He went outside to calm down for a moment, he took a couple of deep breaths as he tried to keep his anger at bay. Erin and Jay had arrived back to see their boss outside, Erin saw the look on his face and knew something was wrong.
"Jay why don't you head inside and help the others, I need to talk to Hank". Erin said to her partner.
"Ok". Jay says.
Once Jay went inside Erin walked to her father figure and put a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"Hank, you alright?" Erin asked concerned.
"That son of a bitch brought up Jo". Hank said bitterly.
Erin knew that the older man was overprotective when it came to both of his children, she also understood his anger. To even hear the young girl's name brought up was enough to make her blood boil.
"Why don't you go get Jo from school? Spend some time with her, I'm sure you'll feel better. Besides we can handle it from here, go be with Jo".
"You sure you guys got it from here?"
"I'm sure".
The older man had left the house, once he got to his SUV he quickly took off his vest then tossed it in the back he then got in the driver seat and drove down the street heading to pick his daughter up.
As he drove he tried to calm himself he never once liked showing his anger around his little girl, that was one thing he never did. After a ten minute drive, he arrived at his daughter's school and school was letting out for the day. Kids were carefully running to their buses, some were walking home, and others went to their parents.
Jordan was walking out when she saw her father, a smile appeared on her face as she ran to him and crashed into him holding his waist tightly. All the anger that Hank had melted away as he held his baby girl, at that moment knowing she's safe and with him was enough to calm him. The young girl looked at her father and something told her that he was off.
"Dad you ok?" Jordan asked.
"I'm the fine sweetheart, let's head to the District". Hank replied.
The father and daughter got in the car and Hank drove off, the gang banger had seen the two and got an idea. As Hank drove he got a gut feeling something was wrong he wouldn't let it show around Jordan. The twelve-year-old saw the look on her father's face and knew something was wrong.
"Did you have a bad case?"
"Something like that, but I'm ok now".
They continued the drive to the District, once they arrived the two hopped out Jordan was in front of her father as Hank walked behind his daughter with a protective hand on her shoulder. They may have been at the District but he wasn't taking zero chances.
Once they got inside Hank brought his daughter over to Trudy.
"I got her Hank". Trudy says to her friend.
The older father looked down to his daughter. "Jo, I want you to be good and behave for Trudy if you need me I'm right upstairs".
"Got it, dad".
He then kissed her head and she kissed his cheek, the twelve-year-old watched as her father went upstairs and the entire time she knew something was wrong but also knew that nobody would tell her because of Hank's wishes.
Trudy looked down at her goddaughter and saw the curious look on her face.
"What's up kiddo". Trudy says.
"My dad. He's upset about something and he won't tell me. None of them will". Jordan replied.
"How can you tell he's upset? He seemed ok".
"He seems off but I don't know why. I asked if it was a bad case because that's how he gets sometimes".
"Maybe that's all it was, a bad case".
The twelve-year-old looked up to the staircase just thinking. "Yeah maybe".
After spending a few minutes with his little girl Hank was now somewhat calm but he was still fuming. The team looked at him and didn't say anything but they all knew how he felt when they're families would be brought up or threatened. He went straight to his office and closed the door still trying to fully calm down.
Erin had a saddened look on her face as she got up and headed to the office, she knocked and entered. Hank looked up to see his surrogate daughter there.
"How are you?" Erin asked.
"I'll be alright". Hank answered.
"Hank, I need you to listen to me now. Jo's safe, she's downstairs. Nobody is going to hurt her".
"She's just a little girl Erin, done nothing to nobody. Why".
"It's a way to get under your skin, to mess with your head".
Hank rubbed his temples from an oncoming headache, Erin saw the many emotions in his eyes but mainly sadness and worry.
"Why don't you take Jo home, we got everything from here".
"I'm fine Erin".
"You're too involved with this, you need to be with Jo to protect her. Keep her safe. We can handle everything else on this end if we need you, we'll call".
Without another word, Hank gathered up all his work and case files and left before he left he turned to his surrogate daughter.
"I'm a call away if you all need me".
"Got it".
He then left the squad and everyone watched as he left with his case files and his other work, after he left the squad they all knew why he was leaving. To have a child brought into a case as leverage it made all of them furious but nobody said anything they all continued to work.
Hank was downstairs and saw his precious little girl, a smile appeared on his face. He was still trying to hide his emotions from her but hopefully, she doesn't catch on if she hasn't already. Jordan looked over to see her father coming down and he went to the desk to see her.
"Dad are you ok?" Jordan asked concerned.
"I'm fine sweetie, come on let's head home". Hank replied.
"Ok".
Just by hearing her friend, Trudy knew something was wrong and if she had to take a guess she knew what happened. The twelve-year-old gathered up her stuff then hugged her godmother goodbye. As the father and daughter walked out Hank kept a protective hand on his daughter's shoulder as he kept his eye out for any potential threat, once they got in the SUV they headed home.
During the drive home Jordan couldn't help but think something was seriously wrong with her father, they hadn't been at the District for more than 10 minutes then they left. She'd look at her father as he drove wondering if she should ask what was wrong. She was the daughter of one of the best Detectives in Chicago she didn't give up until she got something.
"Dad are you sure you're ok?".
"I'm fine sweetheart, I promise". He gave her a reassuring smile.
"You seem off or something".
Hank's throat tightened, he figured she picked up on something bothering him. He tried to play through it.
"It was just a bad case honey that's all".
"Alright".
From that point, Jordan totally knew something was up she figured that some idiot made a threat against her father. After a ten minute drive, they arrived home, the twelve-year-old was out first heading inside while Hank was right behind her. He still had kept his guard up as he looked around for any kinda threat.
After getting inside Jordan started her homework while Hank finished up what he had to do for the case. The time was now reaching 7 in the evening, after finishing his work Hank headed for the kitchen to start dinner. He decided to do grilled cheese and tomato soup.
As he was cooking dinner his mind still couldn't help but think, would his daughter be in danger? Would they do something to his little girl? His blood would boil if either of his children would be threatened during a case, one thing the older man always took into consideration about the job, he was always a father first. He'd put his children before anything in life.
Once the food was finished the father and daughter ate and made small conversation after dinner Jordan headed up to get ready for bed while Hank loaded the dishwasher. The older father then went to check on his little girl. Jordan was dressed in her pajamas and a moment later her father entered the room he went over to her and tucked the blanket around her.
"Good night daddy". Jordan says sleepily.
"Sweet dreams baby". He replied.
He kissed her head and then left the room, he kept her door slightly open just in case, he then headed to his room for the night.
By the next morning Hank thought things had simmered down from the previous day's events, he took his daughter to school and dropped her off like he normally did then headed to the District.
Everyone was in the squad as they were wrapping up their current case, nobody mentioned how Jordan was brought up. Hank felt uneasy the whole day, not knowing if his little girl was safe or not. He was now sitting behind his desk as the day was going so slowly.
The time was now 2:30 in the afternoon and school was letting out for the day, Jordan began her walk to the District. While the twelve-year-old was walking a white van began driving up next to her she looked back at it then picked up her speed she couldn't run without slipping or getting hurt all of a sudden the side door was open and the gang member grabbed Jordan. The pre-teen began fighting while yelling for help but no one was around, during the struggle her backpack fell off and she was in the van as it sped off down the street.
Jordan was scared and she was crying, the guy tied her hands together with tape and put a blindfold on her. She tried to handle herself but it was becoming hard. She hoped that her father and the team will find her soon.
District 21
Hank then got a gut feeling something was really wrong, he checked the time on his watch and saw it was almost 3. Jordan was out of school and be on her way to the District, he knew it wasn't a long walk from the school to the District. It was now 3 and she still wasn't there, the older father slowly started to worry and panic. He left his office and headed downstairs to see Trudy when he got down there he didn't see his little girl in her usual spot. Trudy saw her friend coming over.
"Everything ok Hank?" Trudy asked.
"Jo hasn't been here yet has she?" Hank asked, a bit worried.
"No".
He then headed back up to the squad, his breathing picked up a bit he felt a panic attack coming on but he managed to control himself. Once he was back at the top of the steps and everyone saw him about to lose it and knew something was wrong.
"Everything ok?" Antonio asked.
"No, Jo's not here and school let out". Hank replied.
"She could have stayed after school and forgot to say something". Jay suggested.
"That's not Jo if she was staying after school for anything she would have said something".
"Jay and I can go see if she's there". Erin says from her desk.
"Go".
Erin and Jay got their coats and left, Hank was still trying to get his breathing under control as he went to his office. Alvin then followed him and closed the door.
"She's a baby Al". Hank whispered.
"I'm sure she's fine man". Alvin said trying to comfort his friend.
His phone started to ring with his daughter calling, he then looked to Alvin. "It's her".
Hank then answered his phone. -Jo, where are you, sweetheart? He spoke.
-D-daddy? Jordan's voice came on, her voice was soft and full of fear.
This had completely changed Hank's mood and he put his phone on speaker as he ran out into the squad getting everyone's attention.
-Baby where are you? Are you ok?
-I'm in a van, I don't know where we are. Daddy, I'm scared.
To hear his baby girl like this was enough to break the older man.
-It's gonna be alright sweetheart I promise. Can you tell me where you're going?
Before Jordan could answer her voice was muffled as she tried to cry out when another voice came on.
-Hello Sergeant Voight. I think you can guess who I am. The voice said.
-Listen to me you son of a bitch, if you so much as touch a hair on my daughter's head I will kill you.
-Here's the deal you let my brother go, I'll release your kid. You don't release my brother you're kid dies.
Hank then heard a shuffle and heard his little girl's voice again.
-Daddy, please do something, I'm really scared. I-I wanna go home. Jordan cried.
Everyone looked at Hank who was trying not to break.
-I'm coming baby I promise. Hank assured his scared daughter.
-You got 12 hours Voight or else. The guy said.
-Daddy! Jordan yelled.
The phone then went out, a couple tears ran down Hank's face when it turned dark. They all knew what was about to happen.
Meanwhile
Erin and Jay arrived to Jordan's school and headed inside, the whole time Erin tried to keep her head on straight. She considered Jordan her little sister and if anything happened to the young girl she'd fall apart. The partners entered the school and headed for the office, the secretary saw them and approached the two.
"How can I help you". She said.
"Chicago PD we're looking for Jordan Voight". Jay spoke.
"All the children went home already, the only people who are here now are the teachers".
Erin felt her heart skip a beat if Jordan wasn't at the school or the District, where is she? The two left and Jay saw his partner about to panic.
"Hey, we'll find her". Jay told her.
"She's a little girl Jay, she's done nothing to nobody". Erin says, her voice breaking.
"Let's look around I'm sure we'll find something".
"You're right".
The two partners begin looking around the area for any signs of Jordan or any of her stuff, as they were searching Jay found her backpack. He went back to his partner, Erin looked to see her partner carrying her sister's backpack and she was about to lose it.
"That's Jo's, I gave it to her right before school started". Erin spoke.
She then looked around and found a street camera. "Look let's see what happened".
The two headed back to the District so they could get the footage, during the drive Erin tried to contain her emotions but it was becoming hard. Jay glanced over and put a gentle hand on her knee.
"We'll find her Erin, I promise. Besides, I can almost guarantee Voight will get who did this". Jay assured his partner.
"She's a kid, Jay just a little girl. Jordy has to be scared to death". Erin spoke with her voice cracking.
"Jordy?"
"It's a nickname I gave her when she was two, I can't imagine what she's going through right now".
Meanwhile
The van had stopped at a house, Jordan was still softly sobbing and whimpering. She didn't know what was going on all she knew was that she wanted her father to save her. Her eyes were still covered by the blindfold and her wrist was still tied together, a moment later she felt rough hand grabbing her she let out a small whimper.
"Please. Let me go". Jordan cried.
"Let's go". The guy said.
He brought her in the backyard and opened the door to a shed, he took the blindfold off her face, the twelve-year-old was blinded by the light. Her cheeks with a slight pink color from the cold and they were wet from her tears. She looked at the guy with anger and sadness in her eyes.
"My dad's gonna find you and kick your ass!"
Jordan knew if her father was around she'd get in trouble for cursing but since he wasn't she didn't care, she was gonna try and stand her ground. She was just like both her parents and her brother when it came to speaking her mind and didn't care who she said it to.
All of a sudden she felt her cheek stinging with pain after the guy slapped her, he then put her in the shed. The twelve-year old put up a hell of a fight against the guy but lost she was then in the shed and he walked out closing it then locking it. She then sat there on the floor with her knees pulled to her chest as she started sobbing.
District 21
Hank was seething. His daughter, his little girl was out there in the city god knows where. It was only an hour since he got the call he was still trying to calm down but he couldn't his father mode was kicked into overdrive, he couldn't stop thinking how his baby was out there scared to death. A couple minutes later Jay and Erin arrived and the whole time she wouldn't let go of Jordan's backpack, as soon as the older father had seen it he went over to them and took it from Erin.
"We found that down the street from the school there's also a street cam there so Jin let's get that footage". Jay said.
"On it". Jin quickly replied.
The tech quickly got to work while Hank just held his little girl's backpack, everyone saw how much this affected him. He went back to his office and slammed the door hard.
"Jin tell me you got something". Antonio says.
"One more sec...and I got it". The tech replied.
Alvin then got his friend from the office, a moment later Hank emerged from his office just as Jin played the tape.
"Jo's walking from the school". Jules says first.
"Then this white van pulls up next to her". Antonio spoke next.
As Hank watched this he was getting more and more pissed, this wasn't getting them any closer to finding his little girl.
"Check this, the side door opens and this guy grabs her". Jay said.
"Hold on zoom in on the guy". Hank spoke, a bit of anger in his voice.
Jin zoomed in on the guy and was able to clear the image when they saw who it was Hank then stormed off down to the cage.
"It's Demarcus' brother. Darryl". Erin says.
The older man stormed down to where the cage was and where Demarcus was being held, he knew this son of a bitch was the key to getting his baby back. He was at the bottom of the steps, he glared over at the gang banger then marched over he opened the cage and Demarcus looked at him with a smirk.
"Something I can help you with Voight?" Demarcus asked with a smirk.
Hank then roughly yanked him up by the front of his shirt getting in his face, it was taking all his strength not to beat the hell out of him he needed the asshole alive long enough to find his daughter then he could do what he wanted.
"You're gonna tell me where you're brother is". Hank started.
"And why the hell would I do that?"
The older man then threw him into part of the cage then grabbed him by his hair.
"Because he has my twelve-year-old daughter, that's why".
"I'll never rat my brother out".
Hank then punched him a couple times, he then left the cage for a second a returned with a crowbar, the whole time a dark look was planted on his face.
"You're gonna tell me one way or another".
Back up in the squad, they were running down every possible location, as they were searching Erin's phone rang and without looking at the caller ID she answered.
-Lindsay. Erin answered.
-E-Erin? The voice says softly.
-Jordan? Honey is that you?
Everyone then looked at her as she talked, Jin was beginning a trace for the phone.
-I-It's m-me. Erin...I'm scared. I-I want my d-daddy.
-Were looking for you now sweetie, can you tell me anything about where you are.
-I-I'm in a sh-shed, it's really cold and dark. I...wanna go home.
-We're gonna find you, sweetheart, I promise.
Before Jordan could say something the phone went out which caused Erin to panic, Alvin then looked to the tech.
"Tell me you got something". Alvin said.
"Got the address, sent it to your phones". Jin says.
"Let's vest up". Antonio told everyone.
Everyone then headed downstairs to get ready. Hank had hit Demarcus a few times with the crowbar, by this point the gang banger was gasping for breath.
"I'm gonna say this one more time before I do something I won't regret. Where is your brother".
"S-screw...you".
Hank then brought the crowbar up high and brought it down full force hitting the guy's ribs. Just then the team came down, Erin had ran over to her father figure.
"Hank we know where Jo is. Let's go". Erin says.
The older man looked down at the gang banger. "Just know that you got real lucky as for your brother I don't know yet".
They all quickly got vested up and rolled out, it may have been a few hours for Hank but it was the longest hours of his life.
Meanwhile
Jordan managed to get her wrist free from the tape and she looked at her dead cellphone. She was shivering from the intense cold she walked around the small shed but couldn't find a way out. She'd hear some noise from outside.
"Antonio? Jay? Daddy?" Jordan says at one of the walls.
Nobody was able to hear her, she sat down on the cold ground she was still shivering. Soon she was starting to get a bit drowsy but tried to fight it.
Hank was speeding down the streets lights and sirens on with the team following, they arrived to the house and everyone got out. The older Sergeant was in the lead he had his gun out next to his side, he silently counted then kicked the door in scaring the hell out of Darryl and a couple of other people.
"How the hell did you find me?" Darryl asked.
The older man took his gun and hit him with it knocking him down the handcuffing him, once he was handcuffed Hank yanked him up by his shirt.
"I'm only gonna ask this once because my patience is gone. Where's my daughter?" Hank said in a cold and dangerous voice.
"Do I look stupid enough to mess with your kid?"
Hank then kneed him in the stomach a good couple times. "Don't make me ask again".
"She's not here".
Having enough of him he then dragged him to the kitchen, there was an old fashion style stove and Hank turned it on letting it heat up. Once the burner was hot enough the older man roughly grabbed Darryl back his hair and slowly put his face to the burner.
"Where is she?!"
"She's in the shed!"
Antonio, Jay, and Erin went out there while Jules and Alvin stayed back in the house. Outside the trio saw that the door to the shed was locked.
"I'll get the bolt cutters, see if she's there". Jay said.
He then headed off to their car to get the bolt cutters, Antonio and Erin then ran to the door and began pounding on it.
"Jordan! Jo, sweetie if you're in there say something!" Erin yelled through the door.
"It's alright now you're safe". Antonio called next.
The twelve-year-old heard a voice outside and she was relieved. "Erin? Antonio? I'm here". She called back.
"We're gonna get you out, sweetheart".
Jay then returned with the bolt cutters and broke the lock and they rushed to open the door, Antonio grabbed his flashlight and turned it on then they found Jordan.
"Jordy!" Erin called out in relief.
The twelve-year-old had been so relieved to see her sister and her father's team, as soon as Erin was in arms reach Jordan threw herself at her sister and started crying again.
"It's alright Jordy, it's ok now sweetie. You're safe now". Erin soothed her.
Jay shrugged his jacket off then wrapped it around the young girl, she the hugged the other two detectives. After hugging them she returned to Erin's embrace.
"Where's my dad?" Jordan asked.
"He's inside honey". Erin answered, putting some hair behind her ear.
"I-I wanna see him".
"Let's go".
They all began walking, Jordan hugged Jay's jacket tightly to her small frame trying to warm up. Antonio had gone back in the house while Jay and Erin took Jordan back to there car.
The other three detectives looked to see Antonio entering the house, Darryl on the ground gasping for air but he could care less about him. Hank saw him, a look of worry planted on his face.
"Where is she?" Hank asked his detective.
"Jay and Erin have her outside in the car". Antonio answered.
Before going out to check on his baby girl he got down on one knee and grabbed Darryl by his shirt. "I'm not finished with you".
He then threw him down and put his gun away leaving the house to check on his little girl. Jordan was in the back of the car still wrapped his Jay's jacket, they had the heat on so she could warm up. Erin saw her father figure coming and she got her sister's attention.
"Jordy look". Erin says.
The twelve-year-old looked to see her father coming taking the jacket off she hopped out of the car and ran straight to him.
"Daddy!" Jordan cried.
Hank saw his little girl and once she was in arms reach he effortlessly picked her up and held her as she cried. One hand rested on the back of her head and the other hand rested on her back. Jordan had buried her face into her father's neck crying her eyes out, finally relieved to be back with her father.
"Shh it's ok baby, everything's alright now Jo. Shh, it's alright now. Daddy's here, daddy's got you". Hank soothed his little girl.
"I-I was really scared, daddy". Jordan sobbed, as she held on tighter to her father.
"It's alright now baby, you're safe now. Nobody's gonna hurt you again I promise".
All the young girl did was sob in her father's neck as she held on tightly to him, after a few minutes Jordan had stopped crying but didn't let go of her father. Hank tried to pull her away to look over her for any injuries but she stayed glued to him.
"Jo, I just wanna make sure you're alright". His voice was gentle.
She then loosened her grip on him then he set her down, he then scanned her over for any injuries but she looked fine. Her cheeks were now a red color and her cheek was bruised. He saw the bruise which made him, even more, angrier, when he took his thumb over it gently she whimpered.
"Sweetheart, I need you to go back to the District with Erin and Jay".
"No, I wanna stay with you".
"I know baby but I have to finish up my work here and once I'm finished I'll be back".
Jordan looked up at her father with fear and hope in her eyes. "Promise?"
"I promise".
The young girl hugged her father one last time, he then kissed her head and she kissed his cheek. He walked her back over to Erin and Jay's car and put her in, Jordan buckled herself in and Hank kissed her head one last time just as she kissed his cheek. He closed the door and faced his two detectives.
"She is not for any reason to leave your sight". Hank told them.
"You got it". Erin assured him.
"You want us to get her statement?" Jay asked.
Hank knew he couldn't do it for personal reasons so someone had to.
"Yeah just don't push her too hard". Hank says.
The two detectives got in the car and headed back to the District while Hank went back inside the house, the dark look planted on his face once again. Darryl was being held by Alvin while Antonio and Jules stood by, the older Sergeant looked at his other two detectives.
"Why don't you two head back to the District. I have unfinished business here". Hank said.
"What are you gonna do?" Antonio asked.
"It's best if you don't know".
The two then left leaving Hank and Alvin alone with Darryl. The gangbanger had a look of fear on his face as he looked back at Olinsky.
"You can't just stand there and let him do this". Darryl said.
"Yeah, but I can because that girl you kidnapped is my goddaughter". Alvin spoke.
Alvin then kicked the guy behind his knee sending him down to the ground in pain, Hank stormed over to him and roughly picked him up glaring at him.
"Look, I'm sorry for messing with your kid I wasn't gonna hurt her or anything. All I was gonna do was hold her until you released Demarcus". Darryl says.
Without a word Hank smashed his fist into the guy's face hard, he then picked up back up.
"I told your brother if anything happened to my daughter, I'd skin him".
Darryl then looked at the older man with a fearful look in his eyes. "No please".
The older man then dragged him to the kitchen and turned the stove back on, as the burner was heating up Darryl kept trying to plead with Voight.
"Voight please don't do this".
"Let me ask you something. Is that what my daughter said to you?" Hank spat.
"Look all I did was grab her and lock her in the shed, that's what my brother told me to do if he ever got pinched by you".
"Then why'd she have a bruise?"
He couldn't tell the older man that he slapped Jordan, all Hank did was pick up on the silence and knew that the son of a bitch did lay a hand on his baby girl.
"So let me get this straight, you kidnap my daughter, lock her in the shed, then at some point you hit her?"
By this point Darryl was scared shitless of Hank, everyone knew he got like this if either of his children was messed with. The older man then picked him up by his hair and brought him towards the stove and was slowly bringing his face to the burner. The only noises in the house were Darryl's screams.
District 21
Erin and Jay have arrived back to the District with Jordan, the twelve-year-old still had on Jay's jacket to keep warm. She was tired both physically and mentally all she wanted was to go home and be with her father, the young girl was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear the two detectives calling her.
"Jo. Jordy come on sweetie let's head inside". Erin says to her.
"When's dad coming back?" Jordan asked.
Erin knew that whenever her sister was scared or anything she'd want her father.
"He'll be back soon".
They all got out and just as Jordan was outside she'd begun looking around as if she were waiting for something or someone to pop out, the two detectives got curious.
"Jo, what are you looking around for?" Jay asked.
"They could come back". Jordan answered.
"Sweetie they're in jail, they won't come back".
They brought the young girl in and brought her straight up to the squad and lead her to the lounge. By this point Antonio and Jules had arrived back, he had informed Trudy about what happened and she rushed upstairs to see her goddaughter. They saw the door to the lounge was shut so they decided to wait.
"Where's Hank and Alvin?" Trudy asked.
"Taking care of business". Jules answered.
"I can't imagine what Jo went through". Antonio says.
Erin had set a cup of hot chocolate in front of her sister while Jay sat across from her with his notepad.
"Jo, do you think you can tell us what happened". Jay started.
"Um...I'm sorry". Jordan stammered.
"It's ok honey take your time". Erin says gently, putting some hair behind her ear.
"School let out and I started walking here, as I was walking this van pulled up next to me and someone grabbed me pulling me inside". She then started to choke on a sob.
"Did you see the person who pulled you in the van?" Jay asked.
"I saw a glimpse but that was it he put a blindfold on and tied my hands together. He took my phone and called my dad". She took a pause as her voice was cracking again. "I'm sorry".
"It's alright take your time".
"We drove for a while then stopped I couldn't tell where we were, the guy who grabbed me walked me to the shed. He took the blindfold off and I was able to see him I told him that my dad was gonna find him and kick his ass...he slapped me then locked me in the shed".
"Jo, I have to ask this but did he do anything else to hurt or touch you in any kind of way?"
Erin held her breath she knew if Jordan said yes, then she and the whole team would have to look after her because Hank would go to jail for murder.
"No all he did was slap me. I don't wanna talk anymore".
"Jo-" Jay was cut off by the young girl.
"I don't wanna talk anymore. I want my dad and I wanna go home".
"Jordy if we show you some pictures do you think you can point out who grabbed you?" Erin tried.
"I don't want to. I just wanna go home".
"Alright".
The two partners left the young girl for a moment, they walked out and closed the door.
"What are we gonna do?" Jay asked.
"We know Darryl did it, we should just leave her be. Jordan just went through something traumatic besides Hank said not to push her, she'll shut down and who knows how long it'll take her to open up again". Erin replied.
"Alright".
Trudy then went over to Erin and Jay. "How is she?"
"She's still in shock". Jay answered.
"I'm gonna check on her".
The desk Sergeant had gone to check on her goddaughter, she opened the door to the lounge and the twelve-year-old looked over to see her godmother. Trudy went over and hugged her tightly. Jordan held on tightly to her godmother.
A short time later Hank and Alvin had arrived back to the District with Darryl, he was in handcuffs and had a few marks, bruises, and cut on him. Olinsky had him while Hank was in the lead, the older Sergeant was at the top first and didn't see his little girl he looked to see his friend bringing the gang banger to interrogation. Antonio then seen his boss and approached him.
"Jo's fine, she told Jay and Erin what happened". Antonio informed him.
"I'm gonna see her". Hank said.
"You can't see her".
"The hell I can't! She's my child!"
"Jordan is scared enough if you go in there all hopped up like this that'll scare her even more".
"I know how to handle myself around Jo. And let's get one thing perfectly clear, never again tell me when I can and cannot see my child. We clear".
"Crystal clear".
The older man then went to see his little girl, Antonio didn't take it personally he knew that Hank was only talking as a father because he'd do the same thing for his children.
Jordan was still in the lounge with Trudy, when the door opened and the two looked to see it was Hank. This time he was in a much better mood knowing his baby is safe and sound. Trudy hugged her goddaughter one last time then kissed her head and she left the lounge. Hank held his arms open and Jordan flew into her father's arms.
The young girl was still shaken by everything that happened, she glued herself to her father holding on for dear life.
"It's alright now sweetheart you're safe now, nobody's gonna hurt you again". Hank says soothingly.
"I was really scared, daddy". Jordan whispered.
He kissed her head and just held her. "Everything's alright now I promise".
"Can we go home?".
"Yeah let's go".
The father and daughter broke the hug then gathered their stuff up so they can leave, Jordan stayed by her father's side the entire time. Once Hank gathered what he needed he carried that in one arm and Jordan took a hold of his other hand and held it tightly. They walked out of the squad without another word.
Trudy waved to them as they headed out and they waved back, once they were outside Jordan began looking around frantically which got Hank a bit confused.
"Sweetheart what are you doing?" Hank asked.
"They could come back". Jordan replied.
Hank hated it when his daughter was scared, he got down to her level and took one of his hands to brush some hair off her forehead. When he saw the look in her eyes he saw the worry and fear in her eyes.
"Baby they're in jail I put them there myself, nobody is gonna hurt you again I promise".
All she could do was nod and they headed to the SUV and headed home. As Hank drove home he'd glance at his daughter who would start dozing off but jolts awake. They arrived home and Jordan was tired she got out of the car first then Hank followed her, she was up the stairs first followed by him. Hank would scan the area for any potential threats they then headed inside.
Jordan sat down on the couch while Hank sat his stuff down at the table, he then headed over to her.
"I did everything you taught me dad and it still happened". She started.
"Sweetheart this wasn't your fault, you couldn't have known this was gonna happen". Hank replied.
Her bottom lip started to quiver as tears started to burn in her eyes again.
"I-I was really scared, daddy".
The older father brought his baby into his embrace the twelve-year-old hugged her father tightly as she buried her face into his shirt. Hank let his little girl let out all of her emotions, after a few minutes of crying Jordan had fallen asleep against his chest so he carefully picked her up. The young girl felt she was being moved but stayed asleep.
Hank brought her up to her room and tucked her in the bed, he tucked the blanket around her tightly then kissed her head.
"Sweet dreams princess".
He then left the room quietly and left the door open just in case. The older man headed downstairs and pulled a beer out of the fridge and started drinking, the day's events started to catch up to him. His little girl going missing, finding her, getting her back. It was all too much for him he then finished up the last bit of his paperwork.
It was now past midnight and Hank was finished his work as he was drinking a small glass of his whiskey. After he finished his drink he put the glass in the sink and headed on up to bed, he was almost at the top of the stairs when he heard a small scream come from his little girl.
Jordan was in her bed tossing and turning as nightmares plagued her dreams, soon she let out a scream as she was fighting in her sleep. Hank was in his daughter's room as he rushed over to her and started gently shaking her awake.
"Jo it's a dream sweetheart wake up, wake up baby. It's alright you're alright". Hank says trying to wake her.
The young girl awoke with a start she looked around with blurry eyes, she looked to see her father and she hugged him.
"Daddy". Jordan cried.
"It's alright Jo, everything's alright sweetheart. Shh, it's alright baby. Daddy's here, daddy's got you". Hank soothed her.
Jordan cried for a couple of minutes before calming down, she still remained in her father's hold. She was still upset as she gripped her father's shirt. Hank gently stroked her hair back as a way to calm her.
"Wanna talk about it, sweetheart?"
"Not now".
She was starting to fall asleep again but kept jolting awake, the young girl then looked up at her father. "Daddy, can you stay with me? Please".
"I'm not going anywhere, baby".
Hank then laid on the bed and let his little girl curl into him, she laid her head on his chest and gripped some of his shirt. The older father kissed her head then wrapped a protective arm around her as he slowly fell asleep. When Jordan was asleep she'd always know that she'd always be safe with her father around.
