SERENDIPITY [KELLY SEVERIDE 1]

TWENTY

***

Logan stormed into Intelligence with only one thing on her mind; Hank Voight. She walked passed Alvin and Adam who were looking on their computer, clearly on overtime and she walked into Hank's office and slammed the door. He looked up at her wondering what her attitude was and she looked at him and spoke.

"So when were you going to tell me?" She asked and he raised an eyebrow and threw his hands up.

"Tell you what?" He asked and she looked down at him and spoke.

"That you were my father." She said and Hank's face dropped and he looked up at her and stood.

"Who told you that?" He asked and her eyes widened as she glared at him.

"Who told me? YOU should have told me!" She yelled and he sighed and she shook her head and looked around the room.

"That's why you needed me for intelligence, isn't it. Because I was your daughter?" She yelled and he went to open his mouth and Logan shook her head.

"You added me to this team because I was your daughter, not because my skills were great like Erin or Jay's right?" She asked and he shook his head and spoke.

"That's not it, and-" He said and she raised her hand and felt the hot tears prick her eyes.

"Where were you the last 25 years of my life besides raising a daughter that wasn't your own?" She asked and he closed his eyes and a tear fell down Logan's face and she shook her head and spoke.

"I'm done here. I'm done with Intelligence, I'm done working in this district." She said and looked down at his desk and shook her head spinning on her heel and leaving his office. She walked passed Adam and Alvin and down to the front desk where Platt was and she set her transfer paper down on her desk and looked at her.

"Can you sign this please?" She asked and Platt gave her a hesitant nod and signed the papers and Logan grabbed it when she was done and left out of the 21st District and to her car. She got in her car and gripped the steering wheel as hard as she could and tears started coming out of her eyes as she thought about all the times in her life where she didn't have the one thing Erin grew up with and she shook her head and pulled out from the district, and heading over to Molly's.

Logan walked into Molly's with bloodshot eyes and made her way to the bar, sitting down on the bar stool. She passed by Jeff, keeping her head down and she looked down at the table as Otis walked up to her.

"Hey, whoa, Logan what's wrong?" He asked and Logan clenched her jaw and placed a 50 on the table.

"Teq shots." She said and Otis nodded and hesitantly made his way to the tequila and poured five shots and handed it to the girl. She finished the shots within a minute and watched as he poured more and she downed them every time. She was now drinking a glass of whiskey and she looked at the back of the bar and felt emotionless as she tried to push passed the thought of not being good enough for the Intelligence Unit to the point where her biological father had brought her in.

As she drank more rounds, Logan's head was spinning and she was well passed the buzz state. She heard the door to Molly's open and Jay walked in and made his way over to Logan.

"Hey." He said and sat down next to her. Logan looked at him briefly and kept her gaze focused on the glasses in front of her.

"Uh, Platt told Adam that you put in a transfer that she signed. I just wanted to say it was great working with you and I hope that someday we could continue working together." He said and Logan felt a single tear slide down her face and she raised the glass to her mouth and she downed the last of her whiskey she looked at Otis again and she cleared his throat and spoke.

"Uh, Logan. I'm not going to give you another drink."He said and Logan looked at him as if he had just betrayed her and she raised an eyebrow.

"Why not?" She asked and he looked at Jay and then back to Logan and spoke.

"Because you're wasted and-" He said and she let out a laugh.

"I'm not." She said and he looked at Herrmann and Herrmann walked up to her.

"Logan. we're going to have to refuse you."He said and she shook her head and placed her hand in her pocket and placed down a 100 and tipped the man and she grabbed her keys from her pocket and walked out the bar and Jay rushed to the door and spoke.

"I can't let you go out there." He said standing in front of Logan and she looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"I gotta go pick up my sister." She said, her words slurring over each other and Jay shook his head and grabbed her keys from her hand.

"I can't let you drive, Logan." He stated and Logan breathed in sharply and threw her hands in the air. He placed his hands at the small of her back and started to walk her out.

As the air hit her she breathed in and Jay cleared his throught.

"Is there somewhere I can take you?" He asked and Logan nodded and gave him the address to Jeff's house.

Moments later they arrived and Jay walked out of his car, and walked around to the passenger's side and he opened the door to help her get out. She stepped out and walked to Jeff's door and Jay knocked. Moments later, Jeff answered and looked at Logan and then Jay. Logan let herself into the house and then Jeff looked at Jay with a confused expression.

"What happened?" He asked and Jay breathed out and shrugged.

"Got no clue. She's wasted. Herrmann refused her and she tried to drive her self, the rest is history." He said and Jeff nodded and looked back at Logan who was walking sluggishly.

"I got her, thanks man." He said and Jay nodded and turned to leave down the steps knowing Logan was in good hands.

Jeff closed the door and walked to Logan.

"Hey, Logan, you should probably sit down." He said walking to her and she shook her head and spoke.

"No." She said and Jeff sighed and walked to his kitchen.

"Let me at least get you some water." He said and Logan nodded and watched as he walked to the kitchen. She started to feel hot and she threw her head back and Jeff handed her some water. He raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"What happened? Talk to me." He said and Logan breathed out and spoke.

"IfoundoutthatHankVoightismyfather." She said her words slurring over as she raised the glass to her lips and Jeff hesitantly nodded, hoping Logan wouldn't catch it, but the young detective knew. She might've been drunk, but she knows the signs, the cup stopping at her lips. She looked at Jeff and tilted her head, trying to look into his eyes that were fixated in the floor beneath her. 

"You knew." She breathed out and Jeff licked his lips and spoke, reaching out for her.

"Baby, please-" He said and Logan flared her nostrils and pulled back looking at him. She shook her head as tears pricked her eyes and she spoke.

"How long?" She asked and Jeff nodded slightly and spoke.

"Half a month." He said and Logan shook her head and handed him his glass back and turned on her heel.

"Logan wait-" He said and she shook her head and spoke.

"We're done." She spat and turned to leave his house. Logan saw Jay's car still sitting outside and she ran to it. Once she was inside she turned her head to the side and spoke.

"Home."
