Story of Jack and Nikki, I don't think there are enough out there. Please read and review!

Chapter 1

7:00 am.

C'mon Nikki, she thought to herself, you need to get up now. She had a throbbing headache from the previous night. Why did she agree to come? Father more, why did she compete with Jack the most amounts of shots she could have in a minute? What started as a nice relaxed evening, celebrating Clarissa's birthday turned into Clarissa and Thomas watching and laughing as Jack and her become increasingly more intoxicated?

How did I get home? She thought to herself. She ran the shower and her headache throbbed even more when she brushed her teeth. She took 2 paracetamols and 2 ibroprophen with a coffee and got dressed.

She skipped breakfast, somehow she wasn't hungry, and set about looking for her car keys. 10 minutes later she had found them in the obvious place of her coat pocket. She left her flat, locking the door and went to her car.

She arrived in her office to find Jack asleep, head down on his desk. She laughed; at least she wasn't the only one who was suffering. Thomas appeared around there door.

"I'm amazed! You both arrived on time" Jack lifted his head up, groaned and put it back down again. Thomas put two coffees down and Jacks hand slowly emerged and took one. He took a sip.

"It has no milk"

"Exactly." replied Thomas, "you need to wake up. " Nikki smiled. She hated black coffee; Jack downed his in one mouthful and winced. "Nikki, I need you to do two post mortems today, I'll give you the less gruesome ones"

"Thanks, very thoughtful of you" replied Nikki quietly. Thomas left the room noticing the fragile state of both Jack and Nikki.

"Did you sleep?" asked Nikki

"No, do I look like I did?"

"Not really, no" replied Nikki. Neither of them spoke as they sat there in silence.

"Good morning," came Clarissa's cheerful voice. "Jack, you look awful. Nikki, you look... not as bad as him" Nikki smiled in return. "So whose idea was it to do that challenge?" Clarissa looked at Jack and Nikki pointed at him and laughed.

"Will you stop making any noise" whined Jack, "I'm in a fragile state"

Nikki got up and left the room trying to ignore the throbbing as she giggled to herself.

"Asphyxiation, I'm guessing, was her cause of death" Nikki said to Thomas... "She wasn't raped. She was shot in her arm and her back is covered in acid"

"Why wasn't the acid the cause of death?"

"Due to the burns on her skin, I think it was poured on after her death. I'm getting Clarissa to test what acid it is, but I think its nitric acid"
