"Henry! Go get Hunter before he eats all the cookies again" as Jo gave him a hurry up look from the couch as their little one was always the adventurer around the house.
Henry sighed and hurried off the couch to see his little boy in the box of cookies again that they tried to hide so many times.
Little Hunter had dark brown hair with green eyes and little chubby cheeks that Jo couldn't help to smile when she saw them and the little guy had chocolate and crumbs on his mouth and around him on the floor.
"Hunter cookies are for later, Henry said" as he pulled the box away from his son. Hunter started crying and crawling towards the box and saying Dada.
Then as Hunter was about to get the box back, Jo swooped in and took little Hunter and the cookies both in her arms.
"Jo said to Hunter, Hey big boy we are going to watch SpongeBob now and Hunter got all excited and smiled in her arms and then Jo shot a disapproving wifey look to Henry.
As Jo came back from putting Hunter in his pen to watch SpongeBob and put the cookies away, she went up to Henry and said " I know you let him have it when I'm not here, Henry he can some but not all day….HE WILL BE UP ALL NIGHT!
"Who told you? Did Abe tell you?" Henry said all in a guilty tone.
"No, your face told me, Hunter has you wrapped around his finger." Jo said as she chuckled
Then the Jo's cell phone rang and Henry said "I'm guessing it's a murder?."
Her cell phone just keep ringing and Henry said " Jo aren't you going to answer that?"
Then Jo rolled over the left side of her bed when she realized she was just dreaming and answered her phone.
When she answered the phone it was Lt. Reece and she told her to meet her at Central Park west near the Central Park zoo because there has been a murder.
Then Jo hung up and got ready to go she thought to herself she knew this was no regular murder because Reece was only there when it is a high profile murder case.
On her drive to the crime scene, Jo thought about her dream about Henry and her having a little one and she knew why she had the dream because they have been talking a lot lately about having kids and what it would be like with little ones around. She thought to herself that she could not believe it has been 2 years of dating Dr. Henry "Know it All "Morgan and she smiled to herself thinking of the places they gone and memories they made in those 2 years. Jo knew a lot women after 2 years would start to get worried or anxious about their man not proposing but Jo was not worried she knew Henry he was probably over thinking it.
Jo parked her car and when she got out she buttoned up her long black coat that Henry bought her one year for a birthday gift and was ready to see the crime scene on this chilly January day.
Jo walked to crime scene tape and flashed her badge and let the officer know who she was as she walking to near the body she was greeted by Detective Hanson.
" Hey Jo, Good morning! Where is Doctor Boy?" Hanson asked.
Jo glared at Hanson and thought Really?! "But said why? Is he supposed to be with me?" in a semi-confused but playful tone.
Hanson stumbling for his words seeing Jo was getting upset by asking that just said "I just figured he be with you since you guys are a couple….you do share a bed right?"
"Oh my God, Hanson!" Jo said as she was laughing as she continued "for you information he was at Abe's last night and I was at my place".
"Can we see the body now?" Jo asked as she was laughing.
Hanson smiled and chuckled and said "Sure".
As Jo walked near the body she stopped in her tracks when she saw the injuries and marks on the body.
Jo said in shock "I thought they caught this guy?"
Lt. Reece walked next to Jo and said "Well they did or they thought did, he is Prison right now serving a life sentence"
" This why we cannot let this case drag on too long we can't have this city in fear of this again" Lt. Reece said in a firm tone.
"I'll let Lucas tell you the info on this one and then get to it detective" Reece said she was walking away from the crime scene.
Jo bent down near the body and just looked at before she got a thought, Lucas starting talking.
" Before I begin, I called Henry's place and Abe told me he was letting in him sleep in because they been up on renovating the place" Lucas said
"Yes, I know. That's why I didn't call him I figured he would be exhausted they been working on it for a while" Jo said as she was moving her hand in circular motion wanting Lucas to continue with the findings of the body.
Lucas noticing Jo wanted the findings of the body as stammered a little bit and said…."Uhhh. He was tortured first fingers are all broken and then they decided to slice him in on both sides with 3 marks with 2 T's and 1 M ".
Lucas put his hand on his chin and said " Hmmmmm..TMT? Maybe they are fans of Teenage Mutant Turtles as Lucas smiled…and he put his hand up for a high five.
Jo just shook her head and shot Lucas a quick glare and said "Or, how about This My Turf?" and continued "Other bodies had the same markings and they are marking them for death".
"That could work too."Lucas said
" Hopefully this is a copy cat murder because if it's not that means they got the wrong guy in jail right now" as Jo just continued to look at the body.
"Well I won't know any more info until I get to the morgue." Lucas said
"Then I see you back there and hopefully Henry will join us". Jo said as she got up to stand and start walking back to her car.
Meanwhile back at Abe's, Henry just woke up and was eating breakfast with Abe when he said to Abe: "I'm surprised Jo or Lucas didn't call today with a murder?"
Abe looking at newspaper answered " They did but I told them you needed sleep"
"YOU DID WHAT? ABRAHAM THIS IS MY JOB!" as Henry scolded him he hurried from the table to get ready for work.
Abe just let him rush off and would deal with it later.
As Henry was about to leave, Abe stopped him and said "You are going to see a certain detective at work, that detective that you have been dating for two years and that should have a ring on her finger".
"Abraham, I do not want to talk about this right now". Henry said serious tone
" Why, because you don't think you are enough for her because Henry you known that woman for three years and she loves you more than anything, she would stand in front of bus for you" Abe said as he pointed at finger at his father.
"I don't want something to happen to her because of me". Henry said with a worried tone.
Abe just shook his head and said " Henry you have to live your life and you guys have been through so much already, if she heard you right now she would tell don't worry and plus you can't underestimate the strength of Jo Martinez". "So give the girl a ring Henry"
" Yes, Yes, you are right Abraham. I will do it soon" Henry said smiling as he thought of Jo and how he still cannot believe that woman is by his side.
Abe smiled and said "Good, now you can go to work."
