Jordan-15

Jordan had spread about Michael's abuse all over the internet as much as she could and within an hour after spreading it at least three girls came in and told about the abuse they suffered at Michael's hand. She had sat in on the interviews and listened, tears falling remembering her own abuse.

A fourth girl came in and Kevin had gone to take the statement this time around, when Jordan went to the lounge the officer had gently taken her hand stopping her for a moment.

"You don't have to sit in again sweetheart" Kevin told her softly.

"I do Kevin. I have to" Jordan replied softly. "I need to"

"Are you sure sweetheart? Kev's right, you don't have to sit in We've got this" Adam says gently.

"I'm positive Adam"

Kevin had gone in the lounge with his notepad and pen. Jordan was right behind him. To her surprise it was one of the popular girls that didn't get along with her.

"Fiona, I didn't know.." Jordan trailed off. "I didn't know you and Michael were involved"

"We got together before you and he were together. I'm sorry I didn't warn you about him" Fiona told her softly. "Is he really...locked up?"

"Downstairs he's not gonna be able to hurt anyone ever again"

"Who...who reported him? Who got him?"

"I did. I saw him hitting one of my cousins and I went over, twisting his arm and breaking it. I got him to confess"

"I always knew you'd be a badass"

She chuckled a bit. "So I've been told. This is my dad's officer. Kevin. He's just gonna take your statement, you can trust him, I'm here for support to let you and all the other girls he hurt you all aren't alone. We have our voice again, we can speak up and put him away"

"I wanna take the bastard down. Where do I start?"

"From the beginning" Kevin told her, sitting across from her.

Jordan sat next to her taking her hand. "You've got this"

"It started out great but then things changed. If I ignored his calls he'd get so angry, the next day he'd hit me. He caught me talking to a guy and when I didn't expect it he pushed me down a flight of stairs. Then it was for just no reason at all"

"He threatened you to keep quiet about the abuse, didn't he?" Jordan asked, knowing the answer.

"How did you..."

"He threatened me too. He said he'd kill my family if I spoke a word about this. After my brother found out and kicked his ass, my brother helped me grow my back bone and gain my voice. It was to of the best things he's done for me before he died"

"It's what he did to me too, my mom works in the Mayor's office and he said if I told he'd have his dad fire my mom and she'd lose her job. We couldn't afford for her to lose her job, my dad lost his job and his health is really bad. So I did what he wanted, when he finally wanted to break up I was relieved"

"He'll never be able to hurt you again, he won't hurt anyone ever again. I promise" She squeezed her hand.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

After Kevin got the statement the two left, Jordan took a deep breath and let it out trying to calm down. The teen felt arms wrap around her as Kevin hugged her, she stayed leaned in his hold as tears were pooling in her eyes.

"It's alright baby girl, he's in jail. Like you told Fiona he can't hurt anyone ever again" Kevin tells her softly.

"I want to see him" Was all she got out.

"Jo, I don't think that's wise"

"Kev, I need to"

"Alright I'll see what I can do"

"It's alright I'll go myself, if I get in trouble I'll take the heat. This is something I need to do on my own"

"Are you sure?"

"I am"

With that said Jordan turned and went down to the cell area, her heart raced in her chest feeling slightly nervous. She finally reached the cells and saw her ex sitting on the bench.

"Hi Michael"

Up in interrogation Hank was sitting with Michael's father, Hank sat across from the other man with a blank emotionless look but inside Hank was livid. The older Sergeant was just simply tapping his thumbs together.

"Are we gonna talk about something or can I get out of here already?" The annoyed man snapped.

"You're under arrest, you ain't going anywhere. I'm just waiting on something before we talk" Hank spoke, he was calm. Deadly calm.

"I didn't do anything! What exactly are you waiting on for me?"

"Something makes me wonder about Mikey boy. The only way he would have become the way he is, is if he saw someone else doing it. Someone like you"

"You're crazy, I never hit or degraded a woman in my life"

"I'm a lot of things but crazy ain't one of them nor am I a woman beater unlike you"

"I don't have to sit here and listen to this"

Just as he got up Hank had shot up out of his seat getting nose to nose with him, the deadly vicious glare had returned to his eyes.

"We're not done yet so I suggest you sit your ass back in that chair before I tie you to that chair"

Kevin opened the door. "Sarge we got something you wanna see"
