It had been a long day. The case they were working on was quite odd, which made them perfect for the job. It started out with a man with unnaturally large glasses that had been staring at people with a creepy grin plastered on his face. He had originally been arrested for disturbing the peace, and let go after a few days. Then, he had shown up at Jo's door, saying something that would haunt Jo for the rest of her life: "Sean walks with time now." He shot himself with an old-looking gun, and vanished into thin air.
Lieutenant Reece walked up to Jo. "I can't figure it out. He has no records, no fingerprints in the database, and even Henry has had a hard time tracking him." Jo hadn't said anything to Henry or her boss about the disappearance.
"Until now!" Both Jo and her boss looked at Henry. "He was last seen in Portland, Oregon." Jo was shocked, although she didn't show it. She thought of seeing Henry's shrink, but she could tell he was hiding something as well. No one would act that stereotypically British normally, she knew he must be using it to cover up some secret.
"That's halfway across the country, it's out of our jurisdiction." Reece slumped her shoulders. "We'll never catch him."
"Unless someone has a contact there..." Abe said as he walked in the precinct doors.
"Of course you do." Jo said amusedly. How many contacts had he and Henry built up with that antiques shop? Or was she right that there was something more to Henry than he was letting on? "Oh, I'll get it out of him eventually..."
"Jo?" Henry and the lieutenant were puzzled by Jo's sudden mischievous grin. Her face quickly went back to normal. "Well, let's go. Wouldn't want to keep your contact waiting." She strode hurriedly out of the building, with Henry trying to catch up.
