Moving On

Untitled Part 10

A few days have passed and Jordan was able to go home, Will had often checked on her to make sure she was stable. Ever since Jordan's been home Hank was watching her like a hawk to make sure she was alright, if she was even in the slightest pain he'd get her pain meds.

When she was strong enough Hank had to take her to the State's Attorney's office so they can start getting prepped, Jordan was ready to get this over with so she can move past this. The father and daughter arrived at the office to meet Peter and Anna.

"Hank how are you". Peter greets the older man.

"Peter, Anna good to see you again". Hank greeted the attorneys.

"Hi Mr. Stone, Ms. Valdez". Jordan said kindly.

"Hello Jo". Petter says with a smile.

"Hi Jo". Anna said next.

"Let's go to the office and discuss this".

The went to the conference room Hank had a gentle hand on Jordan's shoulder the whole time. Jordan felt her heart race a little as she was feeling nervous but she knew one thing for sure once the trail was over what happened could finally be forgotten about. Everyone sat down at the conference table Hank sat next to his daughter, Peter and Anna sat across from the father and daughter.

"Alright Jo we're gonna start from the beginning about what happened, if it gets to be too much we'll stop and have a break". Anna says to the teen.

"I'm ready". Jordan replied.

"Go ahead".

After taking a deep breath the teen started. "One day there was a note on my front door saying my dad will pay for what he's done after that more notes started popping up on my locker at school and my house I was ready to finally go to him or someone on the team but I didn't".

"Why is that?" Peter asked.

"One of the notes said if I told my dad or anyone on my dad's team they'll kill me and go after them, I figured if I didn't say anything I'd be protecting all of us".

"When did feel like you were being followed?"

"Around the time the notes started popping up, at first I thought it was two guys from school because they were picking on me".

"What happened the day you were shot?"

Jordan then felt her heart race faster in his chest, she bit on her bottom lip and closed her eyes tightly blocking the tears. Hank saw the look and knew it was already beginning to overwhelm her.

"Sweetheart we can take a quick break if you want". Hank said.

"I'm fine dad, just needed a minute". Jordan replied. She then took a deep breath and continued. "I was walking to the district but I stopped at the store on fifth street, I go there maybe once or twice a week. I text my dad to tell him I was on my way then I text my ex boyfriend, Derek to tell him where I was he sometimes walks with me but he stayed after school longer than I did. After i texted Derek I went in the store and got a soda and some chips then when I left I felt someone grab my arm and drag me to an alley". She then started to choke on a sob. "They threw me down and started to kick me I tried to fight back but the person was too strong he kicked me a few more times then I saw him pull something from his back pocket it was a gun, I begged him not to shoot me but he did then I think he said something I can't be too sure".

"Do you remember what it was that was said?" Anna asked.

"My dad will pay for what he's done. After that there was a bang noise and I fell on the ground holding my stomach, I could barely focus. I heard someone saying hold on the paramedics were coming then i was in and out of it for a while next thing I know everything's black. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital".
