Jordan- 13

One evening, Jordan was trying to make it home before her curfew. She was studying with Eva and she was on her way home. The thirteen-year-old was hoping to make it home before her father did, he said he was wrapping stuff up at work.

As the teen walked she heard shouting, as she walked it grew louder and louder. She ducked into an alleyway and saw two men fighting, she pulled her phone out and recorded it suddenly another man came out and shot both men point blank in the face as they both dropped to the ground. Jordan covered her mouth as she held her screams.

The guy thought he heard something and ran off. She knows she shouldn't but Jordan went to see the bodies and froze. It wasn't her first time seeing a dead body nor a man shot. She had seen it just months ago with Yates. With shaky hands she called 911.

Soon a patrol car got there and the officer was taking Jordan's statement. A second later Kim and Sean pulled up, when they saw the teen they froze.

"Oh no. This ain't good". Sean said.

"Let's go," Kim told her partner.

Jordan gave her statement while sniffing back tears, the two arrived over.

"Jo, honey are you alright?" Kim asked.

"You guys know her?" The officer asked.

"She's the daughter of our Sergeant who runs Intelligence".

The cop handed it over to them, Jordan was shaking and crying. She was fighting of sending herself into a panic attack. Sean guided her back to their car and put his jacket on her. Kim had called all of intelligence. Within a few minutes they arrived, when they arrived they surveyed the scene.

"You guys got a witness?" Jay asked Kim.

"Yeah about that" She replied pointing to the car.

They all looked over and saw Jordan. Hank felt his heart race as he went over. "Jo! Jordan!"

Sean and the teen heard the familiar gruff voice. The thirteen-year-old saw her father and quickly hugged him. "Daddy" she cried grabbing his shirt.

"Shh it's alright. You're safe".

Erin had felt heart broken, her sister had finally gotten over the Yates situation. Now she was a witness in a murder. Poor kid can't catch a break.

"I hope this doesn't drag her down". Erin said softly.

"We gotta catch this bastard so she doesn't testify". Adam spoke.

They all knew what happened with witnesses who testified they ended up dead. That was not gonna be Jordan. If need be they'll tear the entire city apart until they find the bastard.

Jordan had refused to let go of her father; he gently pulled her back. "It's all gonna be fine sweetheart"

"I was walking...i heard yelling.."

"Shh don't say anything not until I tell you too"

She nodded understanding, Sean raised his eye at that. If the kid saw something she should say something.

"Halstead, Dawson," Hank called two of his detectives.

They went over. "What's up Sarge". Jay spoke.

"Take Jo down to the district. She does not, I repeat not say a word until I get there. Are we clear".

"Crystal clear" They said in union.

"I wanna stay with you daddy. Let me stay with you" Jordan pleaded with her father.

"I promise it won't be for long. Jay and Antonio will keep you safe. I promise. Once we're finished here we'll be at the district before you know it". He told her softly.
