Thank you for your reviews! I'm glad you're enjoying that story (except the same one troll I always get but I decided to ignore the asshole and delete their comments without even reading, I got some rules for them to read on my profile anyway so whatever, they can keep hating, I don't hear anything).

Hope you'll enjoy that chapter, I don't know if this is going to be the penultimate but probably not. I must have still two chapters left before it ends, I'll see.

Thanks and I hope you won't hate me too much lol.

Jo and Henry were almost naked, mostly all their clothes were discarded on the floor, they were in nothing left but their underwear and Henry already unclasped Jo's bra, her breast was pressed against his warm chest and they were sharing intense and hot kisses that weren't going to end anytime soon, their hands exploring, discovering the other, like just for a night, the whole world had stopped.

Henry's lips traveled from Jo's neck to her stomach where he dropped a couple of wet but sweet kisses which made her moan harder and louder. They both wanted that moment to last as long as they could.

But the loud buzz emerging from the couch completely broke off that trance they were in, the sweet and agonizing ballet disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Jo tried to get a hold of the phone but Henry was still on top of her and obviously didn't intend to let her go.

- Hmm. Henry… I… it's my phone… I should…

He didn't seem to mind. They've been locked together for two straight weeks and they managed to control their needs but now they couldn't anymore, he couldn't. He has been holding that for too long and he needed that woman, more than ever. They haven't gotten any result so far, why would it be different tonight?

Unable to push him away, she still managed to get the phone and looked at the name. Before his mouth was on hers once more, she moved her finger to his lips

- Wait! It's Lucas! I really have to take it

Henry had no choice but to stand back from her body, even though he wanted this to last way much longer. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Great timing, as per usual. Jo took Henry's shirt and pressed it against her breast while she answered. Both of them were flustered and still hot.

- Yes – Jo cleared her throat because she felt a lump on it – Lucas, you're on speaker.

Lucas and Hanson were also on speaker and shared an amused look

- Hi! erm, is that a bad time to call?

Jo and Henry looked at each other, their cheeks burning

- No… Why... Why are you saying that? – Jo knew she wasn't credible at all

- I don't know! Why do you sound so breathless?

By all means, this wasn't Lucas business even though they weren't fooling anyone but they couldn't tell him this right now, especially when they didn't know who was standing beside him.

She went all on her defensive

- Because… I had to run, I was running my search upstairs and Henry was in the bathroom… My phone was downstairs.

Hanson and Lucas both shook their head. Like they were going to believe that.

- You're such a bad liar Martinez – Hanson blurted out

Jo rolled her eyes

- Can we go back to our business? Lucas, do you have news for us?

Henry pursed his lips. This was way more too awkward, but somehow it was funny. He was glad, Abe wasn't around. He couldn't imagine what he would have taken.

- Oh well, yeah okay! Yes, actually I do. Detective Hanson and I found something interesting I haven't seen ever since we started working on that case.

Henry could tell, Jo was growing impatient. Couldn't blame her though. Lucas really did choose his moment and she was still frustrated to see her arousal being blown away like that.

- Which is? – she asked

- A blonde hair – he simply replied

Jo and Henry now shared a worried look. Henry moved closer to Jo and asked.

- Are you sure about that?

- Nah, come on doc! I'm maybe not smart as you are but I can tell the difference between a blonde, red or brown hair and trust me that one is very blonde.

- I second that – Hanson replied

So they finally had something but now to find out to whom that blonde hair belonged.

Henry tried to think but no one was coming to his mind yet, neither did Jo.

- Do you have any ID yet? – Jo asked

- We put it in the search engine. We should have the result soon. Hopefully, we will get something out of it.

Henry groaned

- Hopefully what you saw wasn't a cat's hair.

Jo could tell Lucas was partially hurt by his comment, by the sigh, he let out

- Once again, I'm not that stupid. Oh, come on, I'm sorry if I broke whatever horizontal mambo you two were about to or were doing but if we got something that can finally prove how innocent you are, then I think all that bed hoping can wait a little more. Already waited a year, what's the matter with a couple of days?

None of them managed to get a straight answer because their faces were now covered with embarrassment.

- So I'll call you back when we get a match! Now don't do anything stupid because this shouldn't take long! See ya!

He hung up without giving them a chance to add a word. They looked at each other, still as messy as they were when all this started.

Jo gave Henry his shirt back and they both quickly dressed, but this wasn't removing the state they were in. So close, yet so far.

Jo sighed and took a seat on the couch

- So now what? – she asked

Henry shrugged

- We'll wait and see! This is the closest thing we could have gotten in weeks! Hopefully, something will come out of it.

Jo shook his hand

- Hey! It's going to be fine! Just have a bit more faith toward Lucas! He has been working very hard on that one. He's doing what he can and I'm pretty sure we will get something, no matter what.

He smiled and entwined his fingers with hers. She moved closer to him and snuggled against him. Her head was resting against his chest, and she was drawing circles on his thighs and he was doing the same with her waistline.

They both remained silent, enjoying the moment, still thinking about where they would be if Lucas didn't interrupt them.

Jo seemed to consider something.

- Do you know someone with blonde hair that could have been mad at you? I mean that mad?

Henry thought about Molly but why would she be doing something like that? But then shook his head. Molly wasn't even in New York anymore, not even in the States so that was completely unlikely. And as far as he knew she was engaged now so not a suspect, really not.

Jo didn't even mention her even though she didn't like her but she knew the dominatrix has been too much into Henry to be that crazy and she almost died herself so yeah, not a chance.

She raised her eyes to look at Henry who was trying to think really hard but something hit her and she quickly stood up.

- What is it? – Henry asked, sensing the change in her body and the fact she got away so fast from him like she has burned herself.

Jo started pacing

- What if… Henry, Nancy… She's blonde, isn't she?

Henry stared at Jo and got so many flashes of the past months.

Three months ago

His path crossed with a blonde girl and she started telling him a lot of theories and frankly was sharing the same thoughts and the same point of view on death and life. Her name was Nancy Logan. Soon enough they grew closer and this wasn't to Jo's liking neither Abe's. They dated and she shared with Henry that she was immortal for a hundred years. Henry thought it would be easier to share his condition with someone who was like him and dated her mostly out of interest than anything else. He soon enough realized he couldn't and wouldn't fall in love with her because his heart belonged to Jo and he knew he has been just an idiot, trying to pretend otherwise.

After a tough case where he nearly lost Jo, he knew he couldn't stay away from her and needed to remain by her side, no matter what. Nancy had proposed to him to get back to England with him with no one to judge them and live the everlasting life but Henry couldn't just do it. When Jo was out of the hospital, Henry was waiting for her near Abe's car and that's when Nancy walked to him and asked him if he thought about her proposition. Seeing Jo walking toward them, he had to be honest with her and told her their relationship wouldn't go anywhere and he has just taken what was easier for him. He told her she was a nice a girl and he really appreciated her as a friend but this couldn't go further. Seeing Jo coming their way, it didn't take a lot for Nancy to do the math but she looked particularly pissed not to be the one in Henry's heart.

Their relationship barely lasted one month and a half but still, she gave a huge matter to it. Jo witnessed her face when she left him and never forgot how upset she was.

This obviously never crossed Henry's mind, but now everything was possible. She really didn't like to be rejected that way, over a simple "mortal" if he remembered her words.

- She is… - he whispered in a soft tone.

Jo felt her heart twisted! She hated that girl, from day one. It was even worse than Molly. She couldn't explain it but she really did have a bad feeling about Nancy and not because she felt hurt Henry was dating someone else.

Jo folded her arms

- So? Do you think she could have framed you? Does she have the skills for that?

Henry swallowed. Everything was such a mess in his brain. He couldn't get one single straight thought and know what he almost did with Jo a few minutes ago wasn't helping any to focus.

Jo tried to help him out

- I don't want to pry but Henry, I saw the way she looked at you when you broke up with her. I've watched enough horror movies to know she had that psych look and if it could kill… You would be dead.

Henry cringed. She had no idea how accurate her statement was. She joined him back on the couch but kept some distance between them. Talking about Nancy made her blood boiled.

Henry rubbed two frustrated hands on his hair

- I don't think she… - he stopped and something came to his mind

- What? – Jo asked

Henry was now the one to stand up and to start pacing.

- She… She has a medical background. She has been practicing for 15 years so she has skills.

Jo knitted her eyebrow together

- Henry, this is very important now! Does she have the skills to use your tools? Do you think she could have done it?

Henry closed his eyes and felt everything falling apart. Like they weren't already in deep shit like that. Jo would shoot his ass, everyone probably would but like he could have known he would have met another immortal psychopath.

- She totally can! And I may be responsible for that…

Jo hoped she heard wrong

- What? What do you mean, you're responsible?

Henry couldn't look at her straight in the eyes because he was ashamed. He rubbed the back of his head and inhaled.

- I… I showed her how I was performing an autopsy once late at night, no one was around and she was just curious. So, I showed her how to handle the tools.

- You did what? – Jo yelled louder than she wished

Henry knew he really screwed up that one. He should have known not all immortals had as good intention as he did.

- And the thing is… She has photographic memory she can reproduce anything she wants just by one look at it…

Jo couldn't believe her ears. How could someone with such knowledge have been that stupid?

- Oh my God! I knew that girl wasn't right for you from day one. Geez, what's gotten into your mind to even date her in the first place?

Henry furrowed his brows and smirked

- Wait. You sound jealous! Were you?

Her face flustered and she babbled

- What? Do… Don't need to let that ego of yours growing in your head... I was... I was just concerned… Because look, she brought nothing but troubles to you so yeah.

Henry didn't stop smirking. He folded his arms and take a step toward her.

- You could have just told me if you were jealous….

- I wasn't jealous!

- Alright! If you said so!

He walked past her and tried to think about how to catch Nancy. She was immortal and if they were locking her up, she could totally kill herself and run free God knew where.

- You know Jo, there's a reason I broke up with her.

- Yeah, it didn't work, that's what you told me. I mean, look where we are now… If she's the one who put all this on you.

He turned around to look at her

- Yes, it didn't work! But there was a main reason

Jo sighed

- Henry! Whatever you do with your love life doesn't concern me, I mean... Look you're a big boy, you can take care of yourself, you have poor choices when it comes to dating but who am I to judge and…

- It was you! – he cut off

She remained dumbfounded. She thought all that happened earlier was just because they were locked together and their hormones were driving them wild but it obviously was not.

- What me?

- Jo, stop pretending like you don't understand or like you don't know already what I feel for you. And with what happened earlier, I think we both know where we're heading once all of that is over.

She opened her mouth but nothing came out of it and because her phone rang again.

- Yes, Lucas? – she answered but her eyes never left Henry's.

Lucas and Hanson were staring at each other, and at the results in front of them.

- Huh… We; … We got a match on the hair but Henry isn't going to like it, I think none of you are.

Jo pinched the bridge of her nose and shared a look with Henry

- We may have already found out but go ahead.

- Well… It was long enough but the only match we got is… Nancy Logan, Henry's ex-girlfriend. Sorry, Doc looks like she didn't get over your break-up.

Obviously, there was absolutely no surprise, since they put the pieces together already.

Henry didn't know what to think about that. He didn't even know what he felt. Now they had to run behind her and find her and she was as good as him to hide.

Jo pursed her lips and slowly whispered

- Thank you, Lucas! You just saved us the troubles! But how are we going to find her?

Hanson replied

- I'll be running a search about her and we'll be calling all the airports, train and bus stations, to warn them. She won't get away with murders and we'll find her.

Henry grumbled

- But she can be anywhere! You don't know her as much as I do.

Jo glared at him

- Listen, we'll call each other back, do what you have to do. We'll be doing the same on our side.

- Got it!

Jo looked at Henry

- So now, you just told Hanson he doesn't know her as much as you do! No one does, that's why I need you to remember where she was heading the last time you saw her.

Nancy has been into a lot of places, as much as he did. She could be anywhere and she could have left the country already by the time she framed him for those murders.

Jo read her thoughts

- They're going to check every departure and see if someone registered under her name.

Henry raised a brow

- But anyone could be named that way and she could have been using an alias

- Yes! But we all have our own DNA. So, don't worry, wherever she is, we'll get her.

Jo was already sitting in front of her laptop while Henry was trying to think. He took a seat next to Jo and whispered.

- I think I know how to get to her!

Jo looked at him and waited. He exposed his idea. Time wasn't really on their side and this was their last hope.
