Jordan- 11
Now that Justin had went to jail, Jordan hasn't been taking it well at all. She had been acting out like her brother to get her father's attention, the now eleven year old would cut school, get into fights, mouth off, when she done it she was a miniature version of Justin.
Jordan had noticed that her father has been acting very strangely, he'd be coming home late, talking to people on the phone that she didn't know, did this have something to do with her brother? Was he in trouble too? She didn't know and knowing her father he'd never tell her so she'll never know.
Late one night Hank was out and he left his daughter with Erin, he was still handling his son's business. Little did he know things were not as they seemed. A moment later Antonio Dawson and other officers rushed out, Dawson had arrested Voight.
The older man was hauled down to the station, he knew what this meant. He was going to prison just like his son. The older man knew explaining this to his little girl was gonna be much more difficult than telling her about Justin going. All he knew was that she wasn't ever gonna find out the truth as long as he lived.
Erin was still at Hank's house with Jordan, she was starting to get a gut feeling something was wrong. The eleven year old was up in her room asleep while Erin remained awake still waiting on her father figure. It was already past midnight and she knew Hank was never this late she jumped when she heard a loud cry coming from upstairs, not knowing what it was she grabbed her weapon and ran up the stairs.
Jordan was tossing and turning in her brother's bed till she sat up and started screaming and crying as she clutched the pillow to her chest. Erin checked Jordan's room to find it empty same as Hank's, she opened Justin's door and saw her sister on the bed crying into the pillow. Putting her gun in the back of her jeans she went over to the young girl and brought her into a gentle hold.
The sobbing eleven year old looked through teary and blurry eyes to see Erin holding her, at that moment she didn't care she turned into her sister's shoulder and cried as she gripped her shirt.
"Shh it's alright Jordy, you're ok. It was just a dream. You're safe". Erin soothed her.
"I-I wa-want J-Justin!" Jordan cried.
"I know sweetie I know".
Erin brushed her hair back as an attempt to sooth her but it didn't work, Hank was better at consoling her and he wasn't anywhere to be seen. After a good ten minutes Jordan had stopped crying and fell back asleep, gently putting her down Erin left the room. As she made her way to the living room her cell phone rang.
-Lindsay. Erin answered tiredly.
-Erin it's me. Hank's voice came on.
-Hank? Where are you? I've been worried sick.
-I was arrested tonight.
She froze in her spot, Hank was in jail. She now felt pain in her heart because now she had to tell Jordan this and the little girl still hadn't come to terms with her brother going to jail.
-I'll take Jo to Al's and come see you.
-Alright. There's a lot I need to tell you.
-I got it.
After hanging up Erin sighed sadly, first Justin and now Hank. Jordan was about to be devastated and crushed even more, she made her way back upstairs and quietly picked up the young girl and carried her out of the house thankfully Jordan stayed asleep. Laying her in the backseat of her car Erin remained outside to call Alvin and inform him.
-What's up Erin? Alvin answered.
-I know it's late but I need to drop Jo off with you. Do you and Meredith mind watching her? If not I can bring her to Trudy.
-It's fine, what's wrong?
-It's Hank. He was arrested.
After that Erin hung up and drove to Alvin's house, Alvin was outside waiting on Erin to arrive and a few moments later her car was pulling up in his driveway he went over and Erin opened the backdoor and Alvin reached in gently taking a hold of his goddaughter. Jordan stirred and the two adults stayed quiet as she settled back to sleep.
"What's going on?" Alvin asked quietly.
"I don't know yet, when I find something out I'll tell you". Erin replies.
"We'll keep an eye on her".
"Thanks".
"Not a problem".
Alvin carried his goddaughter into his house while Erin left for the District where Hank was.
Meanwhile
Hank was in a cell as he laid on the bunk, the only thing on his mind were his children. Having his son sent to prison was his worst nightmare. The kid of a cop in that hellhole, the possibilities of what could happen to him ran consistently through his head.
Then having to tell his little girl that he was going to prison like her brother was going to kill her more. He remembered how he had to pry her from his son's arms that day he could only imagine what it'll be like when she sees him go. Hank didn't want to leave his baby but he had to.
He was lost in his thoughts and he was broken out of them when a guard was banging on the cell.
"Voight, you got a visitor". The guard said.
Erin then approached the cell where he was and saw him, Hank went over to the cell and saw his surrogate daughter. He looked to the guard.
"Give us a few minutes".
The guard then left while Erin looked at her father figure with a saddened and painful look.
"Hank what happened". Erin said.
"I did a lot to keep Justin from going to jail. Erin what I'm about to tell you I need you to for me". Hank replies.
"Ok".
"I need you to take care of Jordan for me while I serve my time".
"No that's crazy you're not going to prison".
"Yes I am and I need you to watch Jordan for me".
Erin was in complete shock, she had babysat Jordan and let her stay with her from time to time but she has never watched her that long.
"Hank, I don't know I've never done something like this before".
"You're not gonna be by yourself, you'll have Al, Meredith, and Trudy between all of you, I'm sure you'll be fine. I need to know Jo is safe and protected".
"Alright, I will. I'll take Jo".
"Thank you it means a lot to me".
"Of course".
"Also she doesn't find out the truth. She's hurt enough if she found out, she'd be more hurt and I don't wanna see her like that before I leave".
"Absolutely".
"Please watch my little girl, Erin she's going to need someone during that time".
"I will. Promise".
A couple of days go by and Hank is in court, the gavel slams down and at that moment he knew he wasn't going to see his little girl for who knows how long. Alvin had called Erin to bring Jordan before Hank was sent to prison. They were now escorting him out of the building.
Erin was holding onto Jordan's hand as they rushed to find Hank, they finally found him and the sight caused the eleven year old to drop Erin's hand and run to her father. Hank felt small familiar arms wrapping around him.
"Daddy, you can't leave to". Jordan says, her voice cracking.
Hank looked to the guards. "Mind giving me a few minutes".
They uncuffed the older man and Hank wrapped his arms around his baby girl, Jordan clung herself to her father he then set her down and saw the pain and sadness in her brown eyes. Tears started to fall freely from her eyes and he wiped them away.
"Sweetheart I need you to listen to me alright". Hank started gently.
"Alright". Jordan's voice broke more.
"I'm going to jail for a little while-" He was cut off by her outburst.
"No! You promised you wouldn't leave. Justin already left and you can't leave! You promised!"
"It's gonna be alright baby, Erin, Alvin, Meredith, and Trudy are all gonna take care of you".
"No I want you to stay. Don't go".
"I have to sweetheart".
"No!"
Jordan jumped her father in a tight hug, she wrapped her arm tightly around his neck and buried her face into his shoulder. Hank knew this was extremely hard on his little girl all he could do was hold and console her with the little bit of time he had left.
"Daddy please don't go. Please. I don't want you to go".
Hank rubbed a soothing hand on his little girl's back, tears sliding down his cheeks.
"I know sweetheart I know".
He set her back down and wiped away the tears they continued to flow freely, he wiped them with the palm of his hand.
"Jo, I want you to listen to everyone, go to bed at a decent time, do good in school, and I want you to be very brave, strong, and tough for me. Can you do that for me baby".
"Y-yes. Daddy please don't go, I don't want you to go. Please".
"I'm sorry sweetheart I have to".
"No".
"Time to go Voight". The guard said.
"No! You're not taking him!" Jordan cried, latching onto her father.
Erin and Alvin then headed over to get Jordan, the two began to pry the eleven year old from her father and she started to fight them.
"No! Daddy don't go please! You promised! Daddy don't leave me! You promised me you wouldn't leave".
This was breaking Hank's heart by the minute, he couldn't stand to hear his little girl scream and cry for him like this. After a few minutes of fighting and struggling they managed to get Jordan free from her father, the guard cuffed Hank and brought him to the van.
Jordan was still fighting out of Erin and Alvin's hold. "Let me go! Please! Daddy come back! Please. Let me go!"
The eleven year old managed to get out of the hold and ran after her father, she tackled him from behind clinging to him tightly.
"Daddy please don't leave me".
It physically hurt Hank to hear his little girl beg and plead like this, Alvin managed to pick up his goddaughter and restrain her so she couldn't escape. Erin watched on with tears streaming down her face, it was like with Justin all over again only with Hank this time and this time it was worse. Jordan was now losing her only parent to jail.
Alvin turned his goddaughter's head away so she wouldn't see her father get dragged away, he felt her tears soak his neck and shirt. She now had lost her family. Her family was now broken and so was she.
