So this story will be continued! Hope you enjoy this update :)

Henry spent the next morning in the morgue, trying to build up the courage to go upstairs and talk to Jo. He was sitting in his office eating his lunch when Lucas decided to speak up.

'Hey, Doc? You all right? You've been really quiet all morning.' Henry opened his mouth to tell Lucas to mind his own business but shut it again before saying anything. His awkward assistant could be annoying sometimes, but he always meant well.

'I had a fight with Jo.' Lucas' mouth dropped open, and Henry glared at him. 'Is there a problem?' Lucas blinked before replying.

'I didn't think you would actually tell me. Wow, ok, this is a big moment- Hey; don't look at me like that! Ok, ok, ok. I think you should just go and talk to her.'

'Now?'

'No next week.' Lucas replied in a sarcastic voice. 'Yes, now!' Henry stood, picking the napkin up off his lap.

'I'll go now.' He said. 'She'll probably be taking her lunch break.

'Lieutenant, have you seen Jo, she's not at her desk?' Henry asked about 5 minutes later as he saw her walk past Jo's desk where he was standing.

'She and Hanson went out to take another look at the crime scene. I suggested they take you, actually, but she said it was ok. Hanson tells me Jo told him you two had a fight or something?'

'Yes.' Henry sighed. 'She wanted a relationship but I said I needed to tell her something first, and she took it as I was seeing someone else.' He grabbed a small note book and pen off Jo's desk and a pen and wrote her a quick note. 'Thanks, Lieutenant.' He said over his shoulder as he headed for the lift. When he had gone, Lt Reece picked up the note and smiled sadly as she read it;

Jo,

We need to talk.

It's not what you think, trust me.

Come round after work, anytime is good.

You mean so much to me, and I cannot stand it if you are upset.

You have no idea how much I want a relationship with you,

there is just something I need to tell you before you decide

if you want a relationship with me.

Henry

Sounds like Henry really likes her. She thought as she placed the note back on Jo's desk and walked back to her office. I wonder what he wants to tell her. Must be pretty big if he thinks it could ruin the relationship.

Jo gave a big sigh as she dropped into her seat back at the precinct. She and Hanson had found nothing new at the crime scene, and all she had that she didn't have before was a headache. Jo stacked a few folders on her desk and put them next to a tall stack of paper work.

Great. She thought, staring at it. Nothing like paperwork to cheer a person up.

She was reaching for the top piece of paper when she noticed Henry's note next to her computer. Picking it up, Jo read it once, twice, three times.

What is it he is so desperate to tell me? She dropped it back onto the desk, rubbing her head. Looking up, Jo saw Lt Reece watching her from her office. As she watched the Lieutenant began walking over towards her.

'Are you going to go?' She asked. 'Henry's come up twice since leaving that note on your desk to see if you were back. Eventually I told him just to wait and give you a chance.' Jo nodded thoughtfully.

'I think I'll go.' She said. 'Give him a chance to explain.'

'Good.' Lt Reece smiled at her. 'I think you two would be good together.'

Henry and Abe sat in the lounge waiting to see if Jo would come, drinking a glass of wine each. They were sitting in a peaceful quietness when Henry suddenly remembered something Abe had said the other night.

'Abraham, you were going to tell me something yesterday, but you got distracted with my problems. What was it you were going to tell me?' Abe's face dropped momentarily before he smiled sadly.

'I found Mom. She was living under an alias.' Henry's mouth dropped, and his eyes widened.

'Abraham, this is great news! Where is she?'

'I found out where she worked. She hasn't worked there for a while, but they had her address on record. She lives out in Tarrytown.' Abraham told Henry, whose eyes lit up.

'Why don't we go tomorrow? See if she still lives there.' He suggested. Abraham nodded.

'Sounds good. Maybe we even see if Jo wants to come-' Henry cut him off.

'No. Sorry Abraham, but I think that this is something we need to do. Just us.' Abraham took a sip of his drink.

'I guess you're right. Who says she'll even want to talk to you after you tell her.' Henry frowned at his son.

'Thanks for the positivity-' He was interrupted by a knock on the shop door. Abraham stood up, stretching.

'Sounds like Jo's here. Want me to get the door?'

'No thanks, I've got it.' Henry put his drink down on the coffee table before standing and making his way down the stairs to the shop.

'Good evening Detective.' He smiled at Jo as he held the door open for her.

'Hey Henry.' She gave him a small smile back as she followed him upstairs to the lounge. 'Hi Abe.'

'Jo.' Abraham greeted her. 'Would you like a drink?'

'I shouldn't. But I would like to talk.' She gave Henry a pointed look, referring to his note. He swallowed, looking at Abe who smiled, saying;

'I'll leave you to it then. Make sure you tell her everything, Henry.' And with that he was gone, leaving Henry and Jo alone. Henry sat down on the couch, picking up his drink from earlier.

'You'll have to bear with me, Jo. It's been a while since I told anyone this story.'

So whatcha think? Review please!
