So yesterday I was reading through some fanfiction prompts on the internet and came across the one in bold below and thought it would make a good start for a multi-chaptered fic. The one I wrote while on holiday needs some extra (a lot of) work doing to it so I'll be posting this one before that. Hope you enjoy this multi-fic. :D

Oh and first person point of view is in Italics, this will happen quite a lot in the fic.

"Spending time with these people was so much fun" I thought as I looked around the room which held at least twelve people, not including myself, all of who were drinking, laughing and having vast amounts of fun "Now it only remains to decide which one I kill"

I looked from one guest to the next as he sat in his seat, a tall glass of champagne in one hand and a cigar in the other trying to decide which one would be the most suitable. My eyes fell on one male who was eyeing up one of the women in the room and a smile graced my face as he looked at me and I raised my glass to him as if in a toast and he did the same back. Fool.

Harry groaned as he heard his mobile blare out around the room but decided to ignore it and go back to sleep, however this wasn't going to happen as the phone rang for a second time. Harry slowly climbed out of bed and reached over to pick his phone up before turning back to Nikki who was asleep in the bed wondering how she had slept through the loud noise.

"Why are you ringing me at six in the morning on my day off?" Harry asked Leo as soon as he picked up

"Good morning to you too Harry" Leo replied sarcastically down the phone "There's been a body delivered to us here and I was wondering if you would do the autopsy. I tried ringing Nikki but her phone is off"

Harry felt guilty all of a sudden as he once again looked back at the naked form of his sleeping lover, they had yet to tell Leo about them.

"I'm sure she'll get it when she wakes up" Harry said as he stood up "Give me an hour"

"Thank you" Leo replied and hung up leaving Harry listening to the dialling tone on the other end. He placed the phone back on his bedside table and turned when he heard Nikki stir in the bed. She opened her eyes slowly and gave him a small smile which he returned as he leant over and pressed a kiss onto her lips.

"Leo just called" Harry explained as he pulled away and walked to his wardrobe, fully aware that Nikki was observing his naked body as he did so "There's been a body delivered and he wants me to autopsy"

"But it's your day off" Nikki moaned as she sat up causing the duvet to fall off her chest and Harry's breathing to falter slightly as he saw before he turned away and looked into the wardrobe to find some clothes. He heard Nikki giggle and turned his head to look at her as she stayed in the same position, not bothering to pull the duvet up.

"You are such a minx" he told her and Nikki laughed and nodded before laying back down again "I told Leo one hour and it's going to be one hour"

"Spoilsport" Nikki mumbled as Harry walked to the bedroom door intent on going into the bathroom for a shower.

"I'll make it up to you when I get back"

"Good" Nikki called out as he walked out of the room and she pulled the duvet over her body and closed her eyes wanting a few more hours in bed on her day off.

"What do we have?" Harry asked Leo as soon as he walked into the cutting room dressed in his canary yellow scrubs causing Leo to shake his head exasperatedly and lead Harry to a body on the other side of the room.

"Caucasian male, mid forties to mid fifties by the look of it, found in his flat in the early hours of the morning by the police who responded to the neighbours call about loud music" Leo replied to Harry's question "They went in and found this" he motioned to the body which Harry swept his eyes over. He had never seen anything like it before. The hands were just a mass of red flesh and when Harry leant closer he could see that they looked, and smelt, like they had been burnt. They had folded in on themselves and looked more like claws than hands, he knew there would be no useable prints from them. Harry then looked up at the face and Leo saw his face change from a look of confusion to a look of pure shock. Instead of a face, Harry was looking at a bloody mass of flesh and bone.

"Where's…" Harry started and pointed to the head "Where's his um…face?" he asked almost weakly and Leo chuckled to himself, that had been the exact same dumfounded question he had asked only two hours before when he had first seen the body. All his medical experience and he could only ask that.

"We don't know" Leo replied and looked up as the door to the viewing platform opened and DCI Mays walked in followed, much to Harry's displeasure, DCI Dan Jennings.

"Good morning doctors" Mays greeted and Leo returned the gesture, Harry just nodded in their direction before turning back to the body "Dr Alexander not with you today?"

"It's her day off" Harry replied automatically "So no"

He continued to look at the body in front of him and turned to one of the technicians who were to be helping and told him to carefully remove the clothes the deceased was wearing and place them on the metal gurney behind Leo so they could be examined. While the young male did this Leo and Harry turned to talk to the two DCIs behind the glass wall.

"Do we have an I.D?" Harry asked and they both shook their heads.

"No" Jennings replied "We are running searches now but there was no wallet or any form of I.D on him at all"

"Well fingerprints are a no go I'm afraid" Leo told them "The hands are to damaged for that"

"What by?" Mays asked and Harry shrugged

"We'll have to do some tests but they look as though they have been burnt by something extremely hot and I'm not talking normal flame here"

"Um…doctors?" came a hesitant voice from behind them and Harry and Leo turned around to see the young lab tech looking very pale as he stared at the body he was undressing. All four men followed where he was looking and they couldn't help but gape at what they saw.

So what do you think? Worth continuing?
