So this isn't an original idea but the stories been floating around in my head for at least a month now, if you read my other story, When secrets become truth, you know I've been on the fence about posting it for a couple days. So like with my other story this first chapter is just a short introduction. I'll try to post the second chapter as soon as I can today. Same as my other story, I own nothing, enjoy.
"I swear to God Henry if you do that one more time I'm not working with you." Jo shouted at her partner as they walked back to the car. "I don't need you protecting me. I'm the detective you're the doctor. I'm trained to stare down bullets you are not. Plain and simple I don't need you risking your life for me."
"I apologize it was foolish of me. I saw the gun and I didn't want you to get hurt detective. It was nothing more than an instinct reaction." Henry tried.
"That's exactly the problem Henry you have no sense of self preservation, you jump in front of cars you tell people to shoot you, and now you're pushing me out of the way of bullets. Do you realize you could have been killed? You can't react on instinct." Jo continued to argue. "I am not worth your death."
"That shot didn't kill me, but if I hadn't reacted it would have killed you Jo and that is something I will not be responsible for." Henry followed Jo to her car.
"Yea well because of your heroics the suspect nearly got away. If Hanson hadn't been right around the corner…"
"But Detective Hanson was right around the corner and we did catch out suspect, and more importantly no one was lost in the process." Henry interrupted.
"Henry I don't want to see you die, I've already lost one man I really cared about I'm not ready for it to happen again, not this soon." Jo took a breath.
"And I'm not about to see you die when there's something I can do to stop it." Henry returned. Jo had just put her keys in the ignition when some kid came up next to her.
"Hey lady come on give me the car keys."
"You don't want to do this." Henry tried to reason with the kid.
"Shut up fancy pants, both of you get out of the car, come on, now!" The boy tried.
"You know you should have listened to him." Jo rolled her eyes and reached for her badge. "I'm a cop, you drop the gun and leave now we don't have a problem."
"Shit." The kid fired the gun dropped it and fled. Jo fell back against the car and was bleeding out. Henry was by her side in seconds.
"Stay with me Jo, come on." Henry tried to stop the bleeding.
"I'm sorry Henry." Jo let tears flow. "I wanted more time with you."
"We'll have it just stay with me."
"No Henry, I'm sorry."
