Moving On

Untitled Part 4

The room was dead quiet after Antonio revealed Josh was a suspect in his own sister's murder. Hank was fuming, to hear Josh was a suspect in his sister's murder it made him wanna kill the bastard.

"Does it say anything else". Kevin spoke first.

"We couldn't get the files, they're classified you'd have to go to the FBI field office". Antonio replied.

He then looked over at the older man who still had a death glare in his eyes. "Voight, I'm so sorry".

Without saying a word Hank stormed out of the house slamming the door he got into his SUV and drove to the house where Josh was staying. Josh was part of the reason he lost the woman he loved, he was part of the reason Jordan had to grow up without her mother, Hank wanted to know why. He arrived to the house he got out of the car marched up to the house and banged on the door, Josh opened the door and was met by a punch to the jaw by Hank who now stormed in.

Hank then pulled his gun as he got down on one knee, he picked Josh up by the front of his shirt and held the gun to his head. "You got some explaining to do Josh". Hank scowled.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Josh replied.

"Why the hell are you a suspect in Anna's death?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about!"

"Josh don't make me ask again".

Josh gulped hard and took a deep breath. "I was in this cartel about 15 years ago, we got a new recruit one day. A woman, it was Anna her assignment was to bring the cartel down and to do that she had to go undercover as part of the cartel. When she saw me she was so pissed and that's when she found out what I was really doing, I told her to leave and not come back. I told her to forget about the case and everything, she had Jordan to think about. Jordan needed her mother. A week goes by and neither of us said anything to each other, the leader of the cartel Carlos he knew something was up between us the whole time. Anna didn't tell him anything she had to protect her cover so after she left one day he came to me asking what was up between us, I told him that she was my older sister".

"Did you tip them off about her being a fed?"

"Carlos knew we had a rat he just didn't know who, I brought Anna to a room so we could talk privately I told her again to leave forget the case all she needed to worry about is Jordan but she said that bringing the cartel down was her last case and she'd retire. Apparently one of the guys heard us talking he went back to Carlos and said it was one of us, Anna convinced them she was the rat and to prove it she had to kill somebody and she did so they thought I was the rat. Do you know what it was like to get tortured so bad you were ready to break? They tortured me for 5 days it felt like a month, it was either talk or get killed and I had to do something I didn't want to. I told them Anna was an FBI agent she was undercover for an assignment, I begged for Carlos and the crew not to do anything to her she had a baby at home". Josh began to crack up. "When Carlos found out the truth he wanted to catch Anna in the act but he never could so when she went home one night he was there at her house I followed him and just as he was about to shoot her I begged and begged for him not to do it but he shot her and left. I ran over to her putting pressure on her stomach, Anna's last words were tell Jordan I love her and she was gone. I didn't want to rat Anna out but it was either kill or be killed. When the cartel went down I ran and never looked back, I knew being an accessory to murder I'd go to prison for life but I moved to Michigan and ran my father's company I wanted to stay around because Jordan is the only reminder I have of my sister. Hank I never meant for any of that to happen I swear to god".

"Do you know what it's like explaining to a seven year old where her mother is? Why she doesn't have a mother? Do you?! Jordan came home crying one day because at her school they were doing a picnic for mothers and daughters, when the day came she was sitting by herself but she wasn't alone because she had her godmother with her. You knew the consequences when you ratted you're own sister out, it's because of you I lost the woman I loved, it's because of you Jordan doesn't have a mother. Believe me Josh you're gonna pay for that, you will pay for everything you did".
