Right, this is a re-write of my old 'Kidnapped' story, trying to make it a bit better with more detail etc. Caught the 'lets be horrible to Nikki again' bug from certain people on Twitter, you know who you are lovelies :P

Reviews would be appreciated of course.

Enjoy

Nikki Alexander walked down the empty street in the direction of her car. She had been at the lab when she had got the call telling her of a crime scene that needed her expertise and, despite Harry having moaned that she was getting the scene and not him, she had just grinned at him and walked out of the lab, hearing him grumbling behind her. Pulling out her car keys Nikki went to open her car door when she heard a slight noise behind her, turning her head slightly to see what it was, she saw nothing there and she rolled her eyes at herself as she turned back to her car. Suddenly an arm wrapped around her waist from behind and she let out a loud gasp, this allowed the person holding her to clamp a cloth down on her face, Nikki unable to stop herself from breathing in, smelling a sour smell before her eyelids drooped and she stopped fighting, becoming limp in the arms of her attacker.

"Harry where's Nikki?" Leo asked as he walked through the lab into the direction of his office, eager to get home to Janet who had invited her two cousins round for dinner to meet him. Harry looked up from his computer, where Leo knew he was doing anything apart from his paperwork, and frowned.

"She was called to a scene about" Harry checked his watch "two hours ago" he finished as he looked back at the computer screen "I said I'd go but she beat me to the door"

"Couldn't exit your game of Mah Jong quick enough?" Leo smirked slightly at Harry who gave him an innocent look, the older man chuckling as he stepped into his office and then called out "Nikki's on call tonight anyway, you should get home after your very taxing day"

"Hey, I did some paperwork" Harry replied incredulously, not looking up from his computer as Leo walked from his office with his jacket and briefcase and looked at him pointedly. "Okay, maybe I wrote a few lines"

"I'll believe it when I see it" Leo chuckled as he shook his head, closing his office door and locking it as Harry shut down his computer and stood up "Wish me luck, two of Janet's cousins are coming for dinner"

"Male or female?"

"Female"

Harry laughed loudly and Leo rolled his eyes at his younger friend.

"Enjoy"

"One is a chef so I hope she's making dinner. Enjoy your takeaway" Leo shot back and Harry chuckled, the older man walking across the lab and opening the double doors, holding them open for Harry as well. "I'll see you tomorrow"

"Bye Leo"

Later on that night and Harry was brought out of a particularly lovely dream involving himself, Nikki and very little clothing by the ringing of his house phone. He groaned sleepily and ignored it by burying his head deeper in his pillow and pulling the duvet further up his body, trying to go back to sleep again, annoyed that the dream had been broken. He sighed when the ringing stopped but a few seconds later groaned loudly as his mobile started to vibrate loudly on his bedside table. Deciding that it must be quite important for both his phones to be ringing, Harry reached out a hand from under his duvet and picked up his still vibrating phone, glancing at his bedside clock, the illuminated numbers telling him that it was almost one fifteen in the morning.

"Hello?" he mumbled into the phone, not bothering to check the caller I.D.

"Harry is Nikki with you?" came Leo's concerned voice down the phone and Harry sighed, trying to clear his head from sleep.

"With me?" he asked, his voice husky from disuse and sleep "No, why?" wondering why Leo would think Nikki was with him in the middle of the night. He rolled onto his back and rubbed his eyes as Leo continued to speak.

"She didn't turn up at the scene she was called to" Leo explained, his voice full of worry, and Harry's eyes flew open, his stomach clenching at the words.

"What? Where is she?" Harry demanded, worry running through him, all sleep gone from his body as he sat up in the bed.

"We don't know" Leo replied quickly "Hold on, I'm at the lab with the police"

Harry heard Leo move the phone away from his ear and the younger man climbed quickly out of bed, wondering why he hadn't been called before as he grabbed the pair of jeans that were on the chair next to his bed. He balanced the phone between his ear and his shoulder as he sat down and pulled the jeans on over his boxers, standing up and zipping them up, willing Leo to hurry up and come back. He grabbed a shirt from his washing pile and pulled that on as well, quickly doing it up and running his hand through his hair.

"Harry they've found her car" Leo said into his ear as Harry slipped his shoes on, grabbing his jacket, his stomach rolling "It's where Nikki parked it, the keys are in the car door but there's no sign of Nikki"

Harry swallowed heavily, quickening his pace as he ran from his bedroom and down the dark hallway, grabbing his keys from the table as he passed and jogging to his front door.

"I'm on my way" he told Leo when he could think of something to say and he heard Leo call over to one of the policemen.

"Right, be careful" Leo told him pointedly and then hung up the phone before Harry could say anything else.

Harry climbed into his car and threw his mobile onto the passenger seat next to him, gripping the steering wheel tightly until his knuckles went white before taking a deep breath and starting the car. As he pulled out of his parking space a rising feeling of dread filled him which he was unable to push out of his mind.

"What have they found?" Harry demanded as he climbed out of his car outside of the lab, locking it as Leo ran over to him. There was a few police cars hanging around and Harry could see SOCOs mingling down the street where he knew Nikki's car was.

"Nothing new, they're processing the scene now" Leo told him and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder when he didn't respond "Harry, we called her mobile but no-one answered, it just kept ringing. We couldn't hear it anywhere around here and you know she always keeps it on loud so she may have it with her and might be able to ring us"

The younger man turned his head to look at Leo and gave him a short nod before turning back in the direction of Nikki's car, reaching into his pocket for his own mobile, turning the sound up high and mentally urging Nikki to call him. Fear ran through him and he realised that he was shaking slightly.

"Harry"

He glanced at Leo who placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently.

"Come on, let's go inside the lab and get a drink"

"No"

Leo didn't protest, knowing that nothing he could say or do would get Harry away from where he was standing until they had more answers.
