*Takes place while Voight's in jail*
Jordan- 11
Ever since meeting the 51 crew, Jordan felt as if she had another family. The guys were like her brothers and the girls were like her sisters, one thing still got her. She had a feeling one of them if not all of them knew about her father's arrest. The eleven year old knew that nobody would tell her.
Late one afternoon Antonio was taking Jordan to 51, he feels leaving her there nobody would think of looking for her there so she'd be safe. The young girl was in hiding and never even knew it. As Antonio drove he'd glance over at the eleven year old, even though he hated Voight he wanted to protect Jordan no matter what he was hiding her in plain sight and nobody knew.
It was no secret that Voight had enemies and they'd do just about anything to get to him even if it meant using Jordan and with him locked away now it would be a perfect opportunity.
The two had just arrived and just as the car was parked Jordan grabbed her backpack and hopped out of the car, the Vice Detective chuckled and followed the eleven year old. Jordan waited and once Antonio was close by she took a hold of his hand as they walked inside.
Kelly was at the squad table with his men when he saw Antonio with Jordan as they walked inside, the Squad Lieutenant got up and went over to the two.
"Hey Antonio, hey Jo". Kelly greeted the duo.
"Hi Kelly". Jordan says happily.
"Hey man, I was hoping you guys wouldn't mind keep an eye on Jo". Antonio said.
"Of course, you got a sec". Kelly said to the Detective.
"Yeah". He then looked to the young girl. "Jo why don't you head inside while I talk to Kelly".
"Ok". Jordan answered.
The eleven year old headed inside when she opened the door everyone looked at her, Casey was a tad surprised to see her.
"Hey Jo, what's going on". Casey said.
"Antonio dropped me off he's talking to Kelly about something". Jordan answered.
She headed over to Gabby and Shay while Casey went out to see his friend with the Vice Detective.
"Hey Jo said you were out here". Casey said.
"Yeah, Kelly and I were just about to talk". Antonio replied.
"About what?"
"Come out so she doesn't overhear".
The three went outside so no one overhears anything, once they were out of ear shot of everyone Kelly spoke up.
"We love watching Jo for you but why bring her here?" Kelly asked.
"It's no secret that Voight has enemies who will do anything to get at him even if it means using Jordan, with him in jail right now who knows what might happen. So keeping her here, I'm hiding her and she doesn't know it I'd like to keep it that way. Nobody would ever think to look for her here, I may not like Voight but Jordan doesn't deserve to get hurt in any kind of way and if something did happen to her word will get back to him quick and it won't be good at all. For all I know he could have people watching her I don't know, keep your guard up, watch out for anything or anyone suspicious, most of all watch her don't let her out of your sights". Antonio spoke.
"People would actually use her? Just to get to him?" Casey asked in disbelief.
"A lot of things he's done has pissed a lot of people off and they'll do just about anything to get payback and with him not around they will take a chance, I'm not taking a chance. Jordan is just a little girl who doesn't deserve anything else bad happening to her. She already lost her father and brother she doesn't deserve anything else bad happening".
"We'll watch her and protect her". Kelly promised.
"Thank you. I have to go meet a couple CIs and run down some leads I'll be back in a few hours".
"See you".
Antonio headed back to his car and took off, Casey stood there frozen in his place. Who'd want to hurt a child? He may have hated Voight but there was no way he'd ever use Jordan just to get to him, Kelly seen the look on his friend's face.
"What's up?" Kelly asked.
"I can't believe that people would do that to a kid". Casey replies.
"Knowing you, you wouldn't have done that".
"I wouldn't, she's a little girl who's done nothing and knows nothing. Jo doesn't deserve anything else happening to her losing her father and brother is more than enough".
"Let's go check on her".
Jordan was with Gabby and Shay, she had warmed up to the two women faster than anyone. She was still warming up to everyone else, they may not have known her long but she was becoming like family to them. The girls were talking when Casey and Kelly entered the room.
"Hey Jo wanna see something really cool". Kelly said to her.
"Yeah". Jordan replied excitedly.
The young girl happily skipped over to the Squad Lieutenant and followed him, Gabby got up from her chair heading over to Casey.
"Hey, what'd you guys talk about?" Gabby asked.
"Kelly asked why Antonio bring Jo here instead of somewhere else. Antonio said he's hiding her because of Voight's enemies, with him in jail right now they'll try anything to get revenge even if it means using Jordan". Casey answered.
"Who'd use a innocent little girl like that?"
"We'd be very surprised".
"Jordan will be safe here with us".
"I know she will".
Kelly had taken the young girl to the closet where all their gear was, Jordan's eyes went wide. Everything in the closet fascinated the young girl, she'd never seen this kind of stuff before.
"This is so cool". Jordan commented.
"It is". Kelly chuckled.
The Squad Lieutenant then grabbed one of the heavy fire coat and helped the eleven year old put it on. "We always wear these when we go on calls".
"Why".
"If it's a fire these jackets are fire retardant, meaning it helps prevent us from getting burned from fires. It can still get damaged but we won't get hurt".
"It's pretty heavy".
"If you think that's heavy, the tanks are much heavier".
"Can I try one on?"
"I think that'll be too heavy for you". He pulled a pair of boots out. "Try these".
Jordan then stepped into the boots and she felt a little taller, Kelly then put a pair of gloves on her.
"Looks like we have a firefighter in training here".
"Can we go show everyone?"
Kelly smiled at hearing the excitement in her voice. "Of course we can".
The two walked out heading to the common room, Kelly opened the door for the young girl as she walked in getting everyone's attention.
"Hey guys we have a firefighter in training here". Kelly tells everyone.
They chuckled a bit, as long as she was happy so were they. They'd go along with whatever made her happy, one thing they all agreed on one thing Jordan deserved happiness in her life right now no matter what it was. A second later the alarm bells went off for Truck and the ambulance, it was a simple elevator call which gave Jordan an idea.
"Can I come Casey?" Jordan asked.
The Truck Lieutenant thought about it, it was a simple call she wouldn't see anything she shouldn't.
"You stay with me the whole time and don't go anywhere". Casey told her.
The eleven year old quickly got out of the fire gear and followed everyone on Truck, Joe lifted her up so she could get in. A moment later the sirens were turned on and they left.
Jordan watched the scenery pass by as they flew down the streets, soon enough they arrived at the call.
Herrmann got out followed by Joe then Jordan, the young girl stayed by Casey like she was told. Casey didn't know if he should have brought Jordan out with him, anything could happen to her and if anything did happen he'd have to explain that to Antonio. He'd glance around to make sure no one spotted her.
"Jo stay close by me". Casey said.
Jordan then got to Casey's side and stayed there, everyone got to the floor where the stuck elevator is, the manager ran over to the crew.
"There are two people stuck inside, I don't know if anyone is hurt". The guy said quickly.
Casey looked down to the eleven year old. "Jo go stay with Gabby and Shay, don't go anywhere. Don't leave their sight".
"Ok". Jordan replied.
The young girl went over to the two paramedics, she watched on as the truck crew got the elevator opened. It amazed her how well they got it done quick and fast, the two people that were inside rushed out. Gabby and Shay rushed over to see if they were injured.
Casey watched the young girl as she looked on as the two paramedics treated the two people, he then quickly went over and got her. He wasn't sure if she was being watched or not by Voight's people or his enemies, if it got out she was in public who knows what would happen.
"Truck 81, let's mount up". Casey told his crew.
"We going back to the station Casey?" Jordan asked.
"I thought we could stop for pizza on the way back".
"Awesome".
They all went out to the truck, Casey lifted the young girl into the back while everyone stayed outside. He turned to see his men giving him curious looks.
"What?" Casey asked.
"You sure it's ok for Jo to be out with us? Antonio may not like that". Herrmann says.
"He's right Casey, what if something happens?" Cruz said.
"I agree with them, we don't know if something could happen". Mouch chimes in.
"Guys look nothing will happen, as long as Jordan is with one of us she's safe. If anything does happen we call Antonio". Casey tells him crew.
"Could Voight have people watching her? He does have many connections". Otis spoke up.
"I don't know he could, Antonio doesn't know. Let's head out now".
They loaded up the truck and took off, Jordan looked out the window as the wind hit her face. A smile on her face as the scenery passed by.
"Having fun kiddo?" Mouch asked.
"This is so cool, I never rode in a truck like this before. Can we do it again?" Jordan spoke happily.
"We'll see". Casey answered.
They stopped for pizza and were headed back to the station, Casey kept his guard up the whole time looking out for anybody that could pose a threat to Jordan. He was possibly going against Antonio's wishes but he wanted to make the eleven year old happy for once. When he helped put Voight away he didn't know or realize that he was taking a little girl from her father.
The truck crew arrived back to the house luckily Antonio wasn't there yet, Casey knew that they had to tell him. Everyone headed inside and began eating. Jordan sat next to Kelly as the two ate their food.
"So how was it riding on the truck?" Kelly asked.
"It was so cool, I never rode on one before". Jordan replied, wiping sauce off her lip.
"Maybe if it's alright, you can ride on the squad truck one day".
"That would be so cool".
After they ate everyone headed outside and began to play soccer. Jordan was having a blast with everyone at 51, it was almost like they were her second family.
A few hours had passed and Antonio was pulling up to the firehouse, he headed inside to see everyone watching tv. Jordan saw the Vice Detective and ran over to him hugging him.
"How was your day kiddo". Antonio says.
"It was awesome, Casey let me go on one of their calls but I stayed by him, Gabby and Shay the whole time. It was so cool, if I don't become a detective I'm gonna be a firefighter or paramedic". Jordan told him.
"I'm sure you'll be great at whatever you pick when you're older. You mind waiting in the car for a second sweetheart I have to talk to Matt about something".
"Ok". She then went and grabbed her bag. "Bye guys".
"Bye". They said in union.
Jordan headed out to Antonio's car and got in. Matt headed over to the Detective as they went outside near the trucks.
"I know you're gonna be angry but let me explain". Casey started.
"Go on". Antonio replied.
"Jordan asked to go on a call, it was simple. She didn't see anything she shouldn't have, it was a stuck elevator the whole time she was by me, Gabby and Shay. Jo had eyes on her the whole time, she was completely safe".
"You didn't see anything out of the ordinary? No one suspicious?"
"No not that we saw".
"Jo doesn't go out on anymore calls until I'm completely sure what's, what".
"Got it".
"I gotta go".
"See you next time".
Antonio headed out to his car he'd look around scanning the area, once he was finished he got in the car.
"What'd else you guys do?" Antonio asked.
"Kelly let me try on some gear, after the call we got pizza and then after we ate we played soccer. Today was so much fun". Jordan replied.
"I'm glad you had fun kiddo".
"Antonio when can I see my dad and my brother?"
"I'd have to ask Erin".
"What they do to go to jail?"
Antonio's throat tightened, he knew she wouldn't stop the questions anytime soon. Jordan wouldn't stop until she knew the truth and she'll never find out the truth.
"I don't know sweetie".
"But you arrested him, I thought you guys would remember that stuff. Ya know who you arrested and why. Why won't anyone tell me?"
"You're too young to understand Jo".
"No I'm not. My dad and brother went to jail, I wanna know why".
"It's not for me to tell you".
If no one would tell the eleven year old why her family went to jail, she'd have to find out herself.
