They showed up at the crime scene about 45 minutes later, and walked in Hanson's direction; hand in hand. When he turned around, they quickly put them behind their backs. "Name is James Abernathy, we're still searching for family," he announced. Henry slipped his gloves on and knelt down near the corpse; examining the massive gash in the man's head. Lucas soon joined him. "The incision was made by a weapon with a jagged edge," he declared. Jo shook her head in acknowledgement and stared down at Henry's butt. She couldn't help herself. "Jo?" Hanson asked; nudging her. "Yep? She responded; jerking her head up. "Did you just hear any of that?" he prodded. "Yeah," she lied. "Don't quote me on it just yet Detectives, but the cause of death seems to be the stab wound in his parietal-occipital region. This, of course led to exsanguination and later death," he declared; getting to his feet. "Alright," Hanson responded; walking off. Jo was about to join him, when Henry grabbed her arm. "Yes?" she asked; grinning. "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that you look beautiful today," he replied; eyeing her up and down. "Thank you," she blushed; a girlish smile present on her face. Oh, how he made her swoon. "You don't look so bad yourself," she responded. "But, in my opinion you look much better wearing nothing," she whispered; smirking. She walked away and he stood there, in awe of her forwardness. "You are like my favorite couple. Ever," Lucas announced; putting an arm around Henry. "She's so.." Henry started to say. "Hot," Lucas interrupted. "Indeed," Henry replied; trying to come out of his haze. "Please. Kindly..remove your arm from my back," he mumbled; peering over at Lucas. "Sorry," Lucas apologized; returning his arm to his side. "Did you hit that?" Lucas asked; grinning. "I don't kiss and tell Lucas," he replied; watching Jo get into the car. When he was certain she couldn't hear, he leaned in towards Lucas. "3 times," he whispered. "You're a legend," Lucas whispered back. Henry gave him a high five and walked towards the car.
