Hello. So I had this idea playing in my mind for a while and I gave it a try. So there will be another chapter because it would have been too long to put the whole in one but just two chapters, not more. It was supposed to be a one shot.

Anyway, so the plot is some kind of alternate version of episode 22, at the station when Jo follows Henry and when he died there, I decided to change some bits there because well, IMO that could happen too O:).

Hope you'll like it. English isn't my native language and Forever doesn't belong to me, too bad.

By the way, the title was inspired by a truly beautiful song (which played on Elementary, but I think it also really does fit Jo & Henry) and it is called All we do by Oh Wonder, if you're interested to listen (also, kinda matches the following story hehe)

Jo was frustrated and tired with Henry's behavior those past few days. He was always acting out of character but lately, it was a whole new level. So she needed answers, there was something her guts were telling and it definitely wasn't something good.

For whatever reason, she could feel it. Henry was in great danger and she wasn't going to let him die, no matter what he had decided to do all by himself and without any help.

So she knew Lucas had taken the pugio from her and knew Henry wasn't going to stay put. She waited for him to exit the shop, and followed the cab he took to the nearest metro's station. It was the rush hour and she had troubles following him on the crowd.

She caught on him when he climbed on the subway and she was about to do the same when she bumped into someone, making her missed the subway. She looked up, a bit annoyed and recognized Doctor Farber, only he was far from being the helpful guy they met six months ago. She opened her mouth, starting to become nervous.

- I'm sorry detective but I need to do that

- wha...

She didn't have time to answer, that Adam knocked up with a taser. He quickly glanced around and carried her on his shoulders and disappeared where he was supposed to meet Henry.

Henry didn't take very much long before getting there. Jo has been left between two poles, still dizzy, with a knot around her mouth so she wouldn't scream for help. She heard distant voices, and everything was kinda blurred to her until she could recognize Henry's voice.

Her eyes widen, as she tried to look for her gun, but it was obviously not in her pocket anymore. She was able to get a hold of herself and leaned against the pole, trying to move to warn Henry until she heard

- did you know that your partner followed you down here?

- you stay away from her!

Henry's voice was unusually cold and killer's like, as Jo's heart twisted in her chest because it has been long enough since someone was ready to kill for her.

- Well, Henry - Adam started, evilly laughing - that may be too late for that

Henry's widen and rage built upon him as he made an angry step toward Adam, ready to kill him with his bare hands

- what did you do to her? WHAT DID YOU DO? I swear I'm going to kill you if you dared to lay one hand on her.

Henry already gripped Adam by the collar of his shirt and was very much ready to break his head over the ground.

Adam kept a straight's face, devilishly smirking

- using violence won't help your case much, Henry.

- I don't give a damn! Where is Jo?

Adam looked at him and pointed the pistol from his 1st death on his stomach

- you better let me go if you wanna see your girlfriend, alive.

Henry released him, boiling with rage. Adam disappeared behind the pole and reappeared, holding Jo by the arm and threaten to shoot her by pointing the gun at her temple.

- Jo... - Henry's desperate tone and face said it all about his feelings

Henry moved forward but Adam tighten his grip on Jo.

- huh huh! Don't get any closer or her beautiful face would be left to pick up to pieces.

Henry shared a look with a very frightened Jo, also because she was defenseless, too much weak from the taser, to protect both herself and Henry. She managed in her confusion, to get rid of the knot and shout

- Henry! What's going on?

He tried to speak but he had no idea how to do to so. Adam looked at both Jo and Henry and laughed

- Oh! She doesn't know yet. How unfortunate!

Henry started to freak out and tried to bring Adam back to some reason.

- Adam! Please! She doesn't know anything. She has nothing to do with all of that. It is between you and I. Please, let her go.

Jo was completely lost and furrowed her brows

- Adam? But I thought you were his psychiatrist.

Adam didn't reply, neither did Henry who was too ashamed about how he has been lying to her all year long. But it didn't take a genius to do the math and Jo was a detective, she quickly put the pieces together.

- You're... - she looked at Henry - he's your real stalker, isn't he?

Henry simpled nodded as Adam ironically clapped his hands, without releasing the pistol.

- congratulations detective Martinez! You are really the smart cop, aren't you?

- That's enough! - Henry yelled - Now! Let her go!

Adam just ignored him and turned toward Jo

- you know, she put herself in jeopardy quite a lot, for you Henry. Only she didn't have to.

- Adam! - Henry warned

Jo was afraid but, was never showing any sign of it

- I told you a good woman was hard to find. And lucky you, you got two in the same lifetime or almost.

- what the hell is he talking about? - Jo screamed, her voice breaking with tears

- Please! Adam! Don't go there. I want to prevent her. I wanted to protect her...

- from me! - Adam cut him off - too bad she doesn't know your dirty little secret yet, but she will.

Henry's heart started to race. He had no idea how he would be able to protect Jo against that psychopath

- you're sick - Jo spat

Adam just shrugged

- I know!

He lowered his gun and used it to push Jo toward Henry

- I'm giving you three minutes together. Those love stories get me sick to my stomach but I figured, as Henry never said goodbye to his previous love, I'll give him the honor.

Henry stayed frozen a Jo slowly walked toward him and they finally ran toward the other, Jo jumping into his arms, burying her face in his neck as he held on to her tightly. She started sobbing in his arms

- Henry! Please, tell me what's going on. What does he want with you?

Henry just remained silent, tighten his grip on her waist, leaning his cheek against her hair, smelling it.

-I'm deeply sorry for everything I did to you, those past few weeks.

Jo sobbed harder

- I should be the one apologizing now. Henry, our last conversation ended in anger... I don't want to lose you, I will never live with myself, not you.

She was now completely crying. Henry looked up at Adam who was checking the time left. Henry pushed Jo a bit away and cupped her face

- I may be dying so I can't tell you the truth right now, it will be completely useless but I just need you, to trust me, one last time.

Tears were now flooding her face and she wasn't able to hold them at all. She shook her head

- You're not going to die Henry. I refuse to believe it. I need you.

Her arms rested on his chest as Henry leaned toward her lips and gave her one wet, sad and passionate kiss, so he would always remember the last taste he had. He rested his forehead against hers and whispered

- just trust me.

She walked backward, and suddenly started running in the opposite direction. Adam lost his focus and Henry just charged at him but Adam got faster and shot him in the chest. He fell on the ground, in a slow motion's pace.

- telling your girlfriend to run, wasn't the best idea you had Henry. I'm going to find her and kill her and if you come back, she will never know and you'll be broken all over again.

Henry tried to speak but he was losing too much blood and ever since he was immortal, he was for the first time, truly scared of dying, because this was probably the real and last time. Adam walked toward him

- this was almost too easy. The less I can say is, your life is definitely over, whether you survive or not.

Again, Henry tried to talk but words failed, he stammered

- Now, what is it? - Adam asked

- I'm... I'm...

Adam kneeled beside him

- I'm not... A killer - Adam smiled, Henry looked over his shoulders and yelled - I'm a doctor!

And everything happened fast. Jo came from behind one of the pole and stabbed Adam in the neck, with a needle, containing a huge paralyzing poison. The effects quickly took place and Adam felt his whole body giving up on him, he removed the needle and escaped the place.

Henry struggled to stay alive as Jo jumped beside him, bringing his head to her knees, starting to hyperventilate

- Henry! Stay with me! I'm going to call an ambulance.

- Jo... No...

- come on! Save your breath!

She tried to call but deep down underground, she had no reception. Her fingers slowly dropped her phone. She knew what would happen and she wasn't ready for that, totally not.

- Henry, please! Don't you dare dying on me. Please, please!

She stroked his curls. She was in denial but she knew Henry wouldn't make it. Henry held her hand and she just decided to lie next to him, leaning her lips against his cheek.

- Jo... I know... This is gonna sounds crazy... But I died plenty of times before... - He coughed and spilled his blood as Jo was doing anything not to faint - I always came back, on the East River

- The East River? - It's like everything was adding to the missing puzzle but she was too much in shock to process.

- yes... Whether if I make it or not... Abe will be there... Go meet him and here, keep it with you.

He gave her his pocket watch

- you're the one who always brought it back to me so I thought it would be a good idea if you could keep it.

Jo sobbed

- Henry...

- I love you, Jo!

And his eyes closed, he got the usual and some unusual flashes, they were all longer than they usually were was so he knew it was over, this was his last death and there's nothing it could do against that, not this time. With his eyes barely closed, he saw Jo's face standing in front of him and he smiled and expired. Jo went wild and shook him

- Henry! HENRY! NO! NO! Come back to me! HENRY! Please! Don't leave me! HENRY!

She collapsed next to him, screaming, crying, holding him against her. She wasn't ready to mourn another man she loved, all over again.
