Hey guys ! So I know I've been pretty evil but don't worry it won't last forever, it's really a short story (not done writing it yet though) but will be soon and there won't be a lot of chapters left.

Thanks for your reviews and JJ, yeah no, English is not my native language, I'm French, so yeah I am aware of the typos. I went to your website and used to this chapter so it should be better and glad to see there wasn't a lot to correct lol.

So here's chapter 4 and hope you'll enjoy.

Henry had contacted Abe and everyone at the NYPD for them to join him at the hospital. Jo has been taking into emergency cares and Henry was pacing all over the hall, hyperventilating at the thought of losing her. His suit was covered with blood but he didn't care, he just wanted her to live.
He heard distances voices calling for him

- Henry !

It was mostly a reflex to raise his head than anything else. He barely could see, could feel be hugged as Hanson, Lucas and Reece joined him, trying to understand what happened.

- thanks god you all could make it
- what happened doc ? - Hanson asked, ready to cut some bitches to whom dared leaning a hand on his little sister

Henry started nervously pacing again, rubbing his hands on his hair, like he was living a nightmare.

- I.. I don't know detective.. We were.. Oh, my god.
- Henry ! Breath ! Calm down ! Sit - Abe ordered

He let his son dragged him into the nearest chair as Reece bring him a glass of water
- did you see anything ? - Reece asked, with an unusual and soft voice

Henry shook his head

- no.. We.. Listen. Jo and I we were on a date tonight, there was no one to be seen on the streets.. I have no idea who shot her, none of us had time to react - he sighed, trying to get a self-control on himself - All I know is, one second I was kissing her, the other she was lying bleeding in my arms.

He rubbed his face. He would lose it, he couldn't let Jo die.
Reece patted him on the shoulder

- Dr. Morgan, we'll do everything to find the shooter. Jo is strong, she's going to be fine but she needs you by her side but please doctor, have some rest okay ?

He just nodded, barely hearing what has been said. Reece motioned to Hanson to follow her

- we're going to get back to the precinct and take care of that case. I don't care if we're losing sleep over that, we need to find who's the son of the bitch who shot her, am I clear?
- Yes ma'am. Very clear ! Trust me, I'm not going to let him go, he's going to pay for what he did.. And look at the doc now

Both of them turned their head to see Henry resting his head on his hands, tears forming at the corner at his eyes as Abe and Lucas were rubbing his back, trying to comfort him.

- that's why we need to catch him

Hanson was boiling with rage but when he looked at Henry he knew he couldn't show any sign of that, it wasn't fair toward him, especially as he loved Jo so much.
Abe asked Henry to walk a bit into the hall, because he had to talk to him.
When they were far enough from their friends, he put his arms on his shoulders and seriously asked him

- Henry, do you think this could be Adam ?

At the name, Henry's face suddenly because tough.

- Adam ? but that's not possible, he's been in a coma for over a year...
- but that's the thing, Henry no one could tell when he was going to be out of it, that could have been any day of the week. You need to check if he's still here, you know you have to, this is for Jo's sake.

Henry didn't know what to think. For once, he was out of theories because Jo was in a critical state but Abe was right. The only one that could hurt him all over again was Adam, no matter how long he's been in the coma.
Henry sighed

- you are right ! I need to check. But I can't leave the hospital, I just can't. I want to be here if something changes. Please Abe, can you go check it for me ? I'm begging. You know Jo is so important to me and I don't know I..

Abe cut him off

- Henry ! It's okay ! I got it ! I'm going there, I'll take Lucas with me

Henry was about to protest but Abe stopped him

- don't worry ! I won't give him any clues regarding your immortality.
- thank you Abe ! You are the best son.
- yeah sure !

Henry went to sit back with his colleagues as Abe argued with Lucas to accompany him into the Bellevue's hospital where Adam has been staying for the past year.
Hanson took a seat next to Henry

- where are they going ?
- Abe needed to take care of something but he didn't want to go there alone and I can't leave that room so he asked Lucas.
- I see.

Henry was tired and still covered with Jo's blood on his suit. Reece was pacing and talking to everyone over the phone to get more information and sending some teams where the shooting happened, see if the CSU could get some prints or whatever that could help finding Jo's shooter.
Hanson really didn't know what to tell Henry. Jo often repeated him how bad he was at that but he could see the doc needed some comfort as himself was fighting his inner demons not to break any walls in front of them.

- doc.. I'm sorry this just spoiled your date with Jo. I'm pretty sure you surely didn't imagine that as the perfect evening

He managed to put a smile on Henry's lips, even it was a sad smile.

- indeed detective. I didn't plan that. So much for wanted to spend a quiet evening with her. Everything has been so perfect tonight, until then.
- I can only imagine ! And Jo.. She's been over the moon lately, she has been excepting you to ask her out on a date since forever and now that it finally happened. God, this is unfair, for you, for her.. I'm so sorry doc.
- I appreciate that Hanson, thank you.

They remained silence for a while until Hanson spoke again

- and as Lieu said.. Jo is strong, she's going to be all right Henry, she won't leave you. I've watched her struggled after Sean's death and she loves you doc, she wants to be with you and enjoy every bit of it so she'll come back.
- I do hope you are right. I can't bare the thought of losing her.

Meanwhile, Abe was in Bellevue with Lucas

- why are we here ? - the young assistant asked, kinda nervous
- I need to check out something ! This is important for Henry and for Jo.
- is there anything the NYPD should know ?
- maybe but I need to be sure.

Lucas seemed to consider something and asked

- does it have anything to do with his real stalker this time ?

Abe didn't want to give too much but he wasn't surprised Lucas never forgot that

- honestly, I don't know. That's why I'm here to check.

They walked to the reception, as a nurse raised her head

- can I help you ?
- yes ! I would like to have an information about one of your patient, I want to know if he's still here.
- yes sure ! What's the name ?
- Lewis Farber

Abe was confident. Henry told him he had given the last name he used. The nurse spent quite some minutes looking for it in her files and replied

- yes ! He's still here. Room 202. Do you wanna see him ?

Abe didn't know if he was supposed to be relieved or not. If it wasn't Adam then, who was it ? Then again, maybe Adam had some accomplices and Abe decided against it and went into the room see if he could find anything. Lucas ran behind him as he stopped him when he was about to walk into the room

- Lucas, if you don't mind, I'd rather go visit him all alone.

Lucas didn't argue and just sighed

- okay ! I guess I'll just wait here. Please be quick
- yes no worries, I just have something to see

I know this was pretty short and I'm sorry O:). And by the way not quite sure if Adam was in Bellevue or not (don't remember if they mentioned the hospital he was in, but I'll stick to that for the moment lol)

Thanks again for reading
