Jordan- 8

Denny Woods was heading to Hank's office to talk and catch up, he was close by when he seen his former partner on the phone. A small smile planted on his face as he talked on the phone. Who was he talking to? He got curious and got closer and was able to hear some of the conversation.

"Jo, listen to Justin now….I'll be home later I promise….I love you too sweetheart. Be good and behave". Hank says into his phone then hangs up.

As Denny was listening he wondered who this Jo was. Did Hank have another child that he wasn't aware of? Why wouldn't Hank tell him if he had another child? He was actually curious to know.

Hank looked to see Denny by his office door, after the two stopped being partners they had a falling out and stopped talking with each other. The older man made damn sure to not slip up about his personal life, he couldn't trust Woods anymore and he wasn't gonna be his children in any kinda danger or harm's way.

"Denny". Hank greeted the man.

"Hank, how's it going". Denny replied.

"Fine".

"I couldn't help but overhear but who's Jo?"

That caused the older man to become greatly irritated and ticked, he was very private about his personal life. He flat out hated when people tried to pry into his life, if he wanted people to know about his life he would tell them.

"Nobody".

"Come on Hank, we were partners. You can trust me".

Hank was becoming more and more annoyed, what is it that Woods is suddenly interested in his life? He never has before so why now?

"What's up Denny?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You never once asked me about my life before, why now?"

"Just want to make sure you're ok. Make sure you're family's alright".

"I'm ok and so is my family".

"Hank, I'm just curious to know if they're important to you then they're important to me".

The older man knew his former partner wouldn't let up until he got an answer, he may regret doing this but he was about to come out with it.

"Jordan's my daughter, she's eight".

"I didn't know you had a daughter".

"I try to keep her and my son out of my work, the less people know about her the better. All I wanna do is keep them safe".

"Is there a chance maybe I could meet her?"

As Denny talked protectiveness swarmed inside of Hank's body, he didn't want his little girl anywhere near this man. If Woods even looked or said something the wrong way to his daughter that would be the end of him forever.

"Sure. Park tomorrow around 11".

"I'll see you there".

After Denny left the office Hank became unsure about letting his former partner meet his little girl. Would she accept him like she did with everyone else? Could this just be a ploy to get under his skin? All he knew is that if Denny did anything to harm his baby girl he would end him.

As Hank drove home his stomach was doing flip flops the entire time, he couldn't trust Denny as far as he could throw him. To have him around his little girl he was gonna make sure to keep his guard up the whole time. By the time he got home his mood had changed he didn't want his children to know something was up. He had gotten out of his car yet when the front door of his house was opened and his little girl ran down the steps running to him.

"Daddy!" Jordan yelled excitedly.

Hank was now out of his car and he scooped his little girl up hugging her tightly, kissing her head the whole time a smile was planted on his face.

"How was your day baby". Hank says with a smile.

"It was good. Did you catch bad guys today?"

"I did catch bad guys they went to jail where they belong".

"Can we go to the park tomorrow daddy?"

"Of course we can sweetheart".

The small family had a nice evening they ate dinner, watched tv, the time now was after 9. Jordan ran up the stairs and got ready for bed and Hank went up to check on her. The eight year old was dressed in light green pajamas that was covered in flowers, she got under the comforter and her father tucked it around her.

"G'night daddy". Jordan says, her voice full of sleep.

"Sleep tight sweetheart". Hank replied.

He kissed her head and left the room, Hank laid in bed for almost an hour. He couldn't stop thinking about his little girl meeting Woods. Would everything be alright? Would Jordan accept him or push him away? Could this be a ploy for Denny to get under his skin? Could Denny go as far as harming his baby? He didn't know what his former partner's intentions were and frankly it was better left alone because if he ever found out that Woods was planning to either harm, use, or do anything to his precious little girl, he'd take him on a ride he won't come back from.

By the next day Hank's nerves got a tad worse because he knew in just a couple of hours his little girl was gonna meet his former partner and she wouldn't have to meet him if he hadn't brought it up. He was very protective when it came to his children, he was very careful of who to bring around his children. He only trusted a few people to know his children. Most people on the street either knew his son or heard of him but not everybody knew or heard about his daughter and he'd like to keep it that way, the less people know about her the better.

Justin was spending the day with some of his friends and Hank had the day off so he was gonna spend it with his princess. He began making breakfast for her which consisted of french toast, eggs, and bacon. He had just finished when he heard the pitter patter of feet coming down the steps, Jordan had entered the kitchen and seen her father setting up her breakfast.

"Good morning daddy". Jordan chirped.

"Morning sweetie, eat up and we'll go to the park". Hank says.

The eight year old was eating her food as she drank some orange juice, while she ate Hank quickly changed into a soft gray short sleeve shirt with jeans and his boots. He debated his he should carry his gun or not, he didn't want Jordan to see it or else she'd get scared. An idea popped in his head, he couldn't carry it on his hip because she'd see it so what he did was roll his pant's leg up and he strapped it to his ankle. He'd be able to carry it without his daughter getting scared.

He knew nobody was gonna be stupid enough to mess with him or either of his children, not without having consequences. After getting his shoes on he went down to check on his princess. Jordan was finished eating, she put her dirty dishes in the sink and wiped her mouth of the crumbs and the little bit of syrup. The eight year old seen her father come back downstairs.

"All finished daddy".

"Go get dressed and we'll leave in a little bit".

Jordan went up to her room to get ready, she picked out a light green shirt it says, Little Sister with the letter "J' and under it her name is spelled out. She then pulled out some denim overalls they came right at her knees, she then slid on a pair of socks then her shoes. She attempted to do her hair, Erin showed her some basic hairstyles that she's been learning so she went with something simple. She brushed her long brown hair out and pulled it up in a ponytail then put a headband in to get the rest of her hair out of her face.

Once she was ready she left her room heading downstairs, Hank heard his daughter coming so he quickly grabbed his keys and wallet. The father and daughter then left the house walking to the park.

It was a warm spring afternoon , people were walking on the streets, kids rode their bikes. It was perfect.

After a little while the father and daughter arrived to the park, Hank had seen Denny there. He held his daughter's hand protectively, he stood in front of her in a protective manner. The one thing he knew for sure was that if Denny made the wrong move that was it. Denny seen his former partner and seen the little girl standing beside him. He then moved towards them.

Jordan seen the man coming towards her and her father, not knowing who he is she slowly hid behind her father's leg gripping his pant's leg. Hank looked down and rubbed his little girl's head affectionately, he didn't blame her for being shy or scared he'd be the same way if he was in her shoes. Denny was now with the father and daughter.

"Hank good seeing you". Denny says.

"Same here Denny". Hank replied.

He then noticed the little girl hiding behind her father, Hank had his guard up and protectiveness swarmed his body the whole time to see Woods getting closer to her he was close to snapping. Jordan remained hidden behind her father, when she looked at Denny she didn't know what it was but something about him made her stomach do flip flops. She wasn't like that when she met her father's other friends, normally she wasn't shy she was an open book but in this case she was shy.

Hank saw how uncomfortable his little girl was getting which was getting him more and more irritated, but he managed to keep his emotions under control in front of his daughter.

"Jo this is my friend Denny, wanna say hi". Hank says to her gently.

Denny got down on one of his knees to see her, Jordan peeked her head around to see him she gripped her father's pants leg tightly.

"Hi". Jordan said nervously.

"Hi sweetheart". Denny spoke with a smile.

She didn't let it show but she cringed, there was something about this man that she didn't like. The eight year old didn't know what it was but she felt something off with him. Seeing his little girl getting more uncomfortable he glanced down at her.

"Go play sweetheart, but stay where I can see you". Hank tells her.

"Ok daddy". Jordan replied.

Hank then kissed her head and watched on as she ran to the playground, he watched with a smile. Denny had never seen this side of Hank when they were partners but to see it for the first time was different.

"She's beautiful Hank". Denny tells him.

"Thank you". Hank replied.

"If you don't mind me asking where's her mother?"

That was about to be enough to set Hank off, it was bad enough that he found out about Jordan but to bring up Anna it was like Woods was rubbing salt in a bad wound. This was the exact reason he never talked about his personal life.

"Anna, she died when Jo was a baby".

"I'm so sorry to hear that".

"She did give me the best gift ever though".

"I gotta go but it was nice meeting her".

"See you Denny".

"See you later Hank".

As Denny left the park he would occasionally glance over at the eight year old as she ran around the park, he'd make sure Hank wasn't looking. Taking one last look at Jordan he finally left the park. He now knew how to get to his former partner.

Hank sat on a bench watching his little girl run around the park, a smile planted on his face. Once Denny left his mood had completely changed, his still kept his guard up the whole time. He'd glance around the park to make sure nothing would happen. The older man was broken out of his thoughts by hearing his sweet little girl's voice.

"Daddy! Come push me!" Jordan called out.

Chuckling the older father went over to his precious baby, Jordan got up on the swing and Hank stood behind her then started to slowly push her. Once she got herself at a certain pace he stopped pushing her but stayed close by.

After an hour and a half at the park the father and daughter headed home for lunch, when they got back home Justin was there.

"Hey Pop, hey Jo Jo". Justin greeted his family.

"Hey son". Hank greeted his eldest child.

"Hi Justin". Jordan greeted her brother.

Hank's phone rang and he sighed knowing what it meant. "Voight...alright I'll be there".

"You have to go?" Jordan's voice now filled with sadness.

"I'll be back later sweetheart, I promise". Hank assured her.

"Promise you'll be careful".

"I promise".

The eight year old flung herself at her father hugging him tightly, burying her face into his neck. Hank held onto his little girl as he held one hand on the back of her head he kissed her temple. He broke his daughter from the hug then patted his son on the shoulder then left.

Once her father was gone, she was still curious about her father's friend, Denny. Jordan couldn't ask her father or he'd be in a mood and possibly do something he may or may not regret. The young girl then looked up to her brother.

"Justin". She starts.

"What's up squirt". Justin replied.

"Do you know all of daddy's friends?"

"I know some of them, why?"

"I met someone today and I didn't like him".

This had caused the elder man to turn around and face his little sister. "Why don't you like him?"

"I got this feeling that something wasn't right".

"Do you remember his name?"

"Daddy called him Denny".

Justin felt his heart skip a beat and his throat had tightened, he ran into Woods only a couple of times and got the same bad vibe. He didn't know what was up with the older man but something about him was just off. Justin wasn't friendly with Denny but had respect for him only because of his father. He knew one thing if Woods did anything to his little sister he'd pound the man into the concrete then let his father handle it.

"Jo if you ever see him again, just stay away from him. He's bad news kiddo".

"Did he do something bad?"

"Just stay away, if he comes around tell either me or dad, we'll handle it".

"Ok".

Now Jordan knew to stay away from Denny, if her brother got the same bad vibe then he must really be bad. She trusted her brother's word when he said that. The eight year old let it go because she knew that she'd always be safe with her father, brother, Erin, and everyone else around.
