When I returned from the toilet, everyone was talking. I stayed round the corner so I could listen in on what they were saying.

"Even if it is true, let's not judge her straight away." Said Kevin.

"Guys, stop talking about her without her here." Said Antonio.

"She wouldn't do that. No one would ever do that." Said Jay.

"How do you know?" Said Adam.

I walked round the corner to join them as they all stopped talking and turned to look at me.

"Hi, guys. What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing." Smiled Adam.

Hank came up the steps and told us all to go home but we all ignored him.

"I heard you talking about me. Just ask what you want to know."

"Did you shoot your partner?" Asked Adam.

"Adam!" Warned Jay.

"No, it's okay. Yeah I shot my partner."

"You don't have to explain." Said Jay as he stood beside me.

"My old partner was working undercover with the FBI without me knowing. The gang he was with decided to play a game of 'kidnap the first person who walks past.' My sister was the one who walked past. I followed them by the tracker on her phone and found her. A man was stood by her with a ski mask covering his face and a gun in his hand that was pointed at her head. I shot him in the shoulder and the knee, causing him to let go of Zoe and to drop the gun. I didn't know he was partner."

"That is why you are taken off the case if family is involved." Sighed Hank angrily.

"I was told to take the day off, which I did. Then I proceed to ask people and gangs on the streets about my sister's possible where abouts. The tracker was only switched on after a few hours of her missing."

"Where did you get information from?"

"The Latin Kings told me where they were hiding in exchange for some information."

"What information did you give them?" Asked Hank.

Hank's face changed from a curiosity to dark red anger. I know why. The information I gave them, messed up their case.

"I said, what information did you give them?" Asked Hank through gritted teeth.

"Um. Just what time and place you guys were going to bust them." I smiled awkwardly.

"You did what!?"

"B-but I can explain. I've been following them for 3 months. I have names of all their clients. I have the names of their heists, with who, what time and where."

"Give me those names and dates." Ordered Hank.

I gave Hank the names and he ordered everyone to search them up and link them all to the Latin King Leader.

"What do you want me to do, Sarge?" I asked.

"At the moment, nothing. You're suspended till this case is over."

"That's not fair."

"Yes it is. You messed up one of the biggest cases of my career."

"Oh, I'm ever so sorry I damaged your reputation but it was my sister's life on the line."

"We could've saved hundreds of lives but no, you just had to save one."

"At least I didn't take one for no reason."

"Jordan. Go careful." Warned Jay.

"At least I didn't kill Zoe's kidnapper. I arrested him and put him away. You killed your son's killer and Al took the fall. Now he's dead-"

My sentence was cut short as Hank wrapped his hand around my throat, cutting off my breathing. He pinned me against the wall with his hand and his body. I coughed a few times and then spoke.

"Kinky, are we?"

"Hank! Let her go!" Shouted Trudy.

"Hank. Please." Begged Jay.

"Voight." Warned Adam.

I brought my knee up, hitting him in the stomach. He wrapped his arm round my waist and flipped me over him so my back hit the floor. I wrapped my legs round his throat and sent him to the floor. As I stood up, he took out my legs and my knees hit the ground.

"Guys! Stop, please." Said Kim.

I began gasping for air. It felt like my throat was closing. When I looked up, Hank was no longer on the floor. My vision started to go blurry.

"Jordan!" Someone shouted.

All went black.

*Jay's Pov*

Antonio and I ran over to Jordan. Her body fell limp to the floor. Antonio felt for a pulse and then nodded towards me. Thank god, she was alive.

"Voight! What the hell, man!?" Shouted Kevin.

"Adam, pick her up and put her in the cage." Said Hank.

"No, she doesn't deserve that." Refused Adam.

"Do it now! That's an order! Or you can all say goodbye to your jobs." Said Hank as he returned to his office.

Trudy and Adam came over but I shook my head.

"She doesn't deserve this." Said Trudy.

"I know but if someone doesn't do it, he'll just be more mad. I'll take her down and call Will to check her out."

"Why would she go that far?" Asked Kim.

"She blamed Hank for Al's death." Said Antonio.

"Didn't we all at some point?" Said Adam.

I picked up Jordan in my arms and carried her down the steps into the garage. I laid her down on the cold floor and made sure she was okay before I went to grab her a bottle of water. After placing it in the cage, I locked the gate and sat outside of it to call Will.

Hey, Bro. What's up?

Hey, how quick can you get down to the 21st?

In about 5 to 10 minutes.

Cool. Can you please park by the garage and bring medical supplies and a blanket.

Yeah will do. See you in a bit.

Thanks bro.

Around ten minutes later, Will pulled up in his car with a medical bag and got out to meet me. I walked him inside and unlocked the cage. Will picked up Jordan as I laid a blanket down on the floor to keep her warm.

"Oh my god. Jay, how long has she been like this? What happened? Why is she in here?" Asked Will.

"Around ten minutes, I'll answer the rest later.

Will was checking her pulse, chest sounds and blood pressure when she started to stir.

"Hey, Jordan. Can you hear me?" Asked Will.
