The Phone Call

Untitled Part 19

The team stood outside of Jordan's room watching the scene in front of them; Jordan was laying in her father's arms fast asleep with her face buried in his chest. Hank was gently rocking her.

"Should we tell him?" Kevin asked.

"Not yet". Olinsky said.

"Well he should know". Adam says coming in.

"I know but he needs to be with Jo right now".

"I don't wanna be any of them when Voight finds out". Kevin said.

"Neither do I". Adam agreed.

21st District

Erin went down to the cage to talk with Derek, Jay or Antonio didn't stop her because they knew she was a force to be reckoned with. They also knew not to mess with her while she's pissed or they'll feel her wrath. When she got to the bottle of the stairs where the cage was she saw the teen boy just sitting on the bench feeling guilty, she went over to the cage.

"Derek". Erin said.

The teen boy looked up at her with slightly red eyes he quickly wiped them and sniffed. "Detective Lindsay, I'm so sorry for everything I did. You have to believe me I didn't want to hurt Jordan but Charlie made me, he said he'd kill me and my parents if I didn't do it".

"Why not come to one of us?"

"I was going to time and time again I wanted to but knowing what he's capable of I'm not crossing him".

"What's your connection to Charlie?"

"My cousin".

Erin furrowed her brow in confusion. "I didn't know he had a cousin".

"Were not blood related cousins, our moms were really close and he looked out for me a lot. A few years ago I got busted with weed he got me out of that and a whole bunch of other messes, he told me I owed him but he never told me what all he said was when the day comes I better help him or me and my parents will end up dead. I swear I didn't think or know he'd shoot Jordan I thought he was gonna scare her or something. When I saw her on the ground bleeding I thought she was dead but she was breathing".

"You called 911".

"Yeah I bolted before they got there".

"What happened the day Jordan got shot".

"After practice Jordan left going to the District like she always does I told her I couldn't go because I had to be home early so she went without me. Charlie was following her and I was following him, she went into the store while he waited for he the second she came out of the store he jumped her. He threw her down and started kicking Jordan next thing I know he pulls out a gun and shoots her".

"You didn't try and stop him?"

"No I wanted to but I wasn't risking my life or my parents life".

"What about Jordan and her life? Does she even matter to you? You watched Charlie beat her then shoot her and you left her there to die".

"I called for help".

"So you called for help what happened after that".

"I stayed with her for a couple of minutes but when I heard the sirens I bolted. Charlie saw me when I ran he said that was a dumb mistake I pulled and if I did it again...I'll end up at the bottom of the river".

"Where's Charlie now?"

"I don't know".

"Derek don't lie to me".
