So I'm terribly sorry that it's been so long, if you've been reading my other story you know that I've been pretty busy. So I will try to update again soonish this story will not be as long as the other one, but as usual O own nothing.
"You two carpooling now?" Hanson was getting off the elevator when Jo and Henry went to get on.
"I was in the neighborhood this morning and thought I'd offer him a lift." Jo shrugged.
"Well turn around we got a body to look at." Hanson didn't comment any further on their carpooling. Even if he didn't necessarily believe that Jo just happened to be in the area. There had been tension building between the two for a while now.
"What do we have?" Jo turned on her heels to follow her partner letting Henry follow behind.
"Don't know a body surfaced on the banks of the river." Hanson started, causing Jo and Henry to exchange a glance without even realizing it. "Don't worry Doc it's in the Hudson your skinny dipping escapades are no more unsanitary than usual." Hanson joked.
"What a relief." Henry offered a smile.
"Wouldn't want you skinny dipping where the dead bodies were." Hanson smirked.
"I'm sure the river has seen weirder things." Henry responded looking out the window, earning a choked laugh from Jo.
"Did our victim drown?" Jo covered her laugh.
"That's up to the Doc to tell us." Hanson parked the car, before flashing his badge earning all three of them entrance to their crime scene.
"There is bruising on the back of the head, possibly a blunt object. I'll be able to tell you more when I get him on the table." Henry explained while continuing to look over the body.
"So he didn't drown." Hanson clarified.
"No he drowned." Henry stood up and removed his gloves. "However he may have been unconscious when he was thrown in the water. Again I'll be able to tell you more once I get him on the table."
"Do we have an ID?" Jo turned to her partner.
"Jared Grant." Hanson looked at the information handed to him by the officers on the scene. "He owns a small restaurant with his brother."
"We can run the name when we get back to the station." Jo nodded. "Anything else you can tell us Henry?"
"Afraid not, he's been in the water for approximately seven hours, I'd put his time a death around that same time. However this is guesswork I'll get a more accurate number for you in the lab." Henry removed his gloves.
"We'll go talk to the brother, you go do what you need to do." Jo decided.
"That works for me." Hanson agreed, "See you later Doc."
"Good luck detectives." Henry knew that he had been subconsciously gravitating towards Jo all morning and he knew he had promised her to keep any development any their relationship secret but it was going to be a bit harder than he expected.
