'We're a Team Without an I': A Series of Oneshots About Jack and Clarissa
This is going to be a series of one-shots about Jack and Clarissa because they are awesome and have such a great relationship between them. David Caves and Liz Carr are such great actors so I hope I can do their portrayals some justice in this. Some, but not all, of these will be set pre-Lyell centre (i.e. before Jack and Clarissa join in Series 16) because I want to explore the history of their relationship.
1. Hide and Seek
Author's Note: This one has a few swear words in, so be warned.
Jack was hiding under the desk. Or rather attempting to hide under the desk, something impeded by his large frame. Nevertheless he had attempted to condense his body into the small space in order to conceal himself. And he was sure nobody would notice
"That's probably the worst attempt at a hiding place I've ever seen," Jack stuck his head out from underneath the desk and saw Clarissa with a slightly bemused look on her face
"Ssh!" he hissed "Don't give me away,"
"Give you away?" Clarissa said incredulously "I could see your legs sticking out a mile off," she sighed "Why are you hiding anyway?"
"I accidently slept with the Detective Inspector's daughter and now he's threatening to castrate me," Jack explained
"How can you accidently sleep with someone?"
"She was upset and I was comforting her," Jack said "And one thing led to anotherā¦"
"Of courseā¦" Clarissa shook her head "How many times have I told you, not where you work,"
"This is a one off," Jack tried to assure her "It won't happen again,"
"It certainly won't if the Detective Inspector catches you," Clarissa smirked
As if on cue, this DI in question stormed into the lab "Where is the rat-bastard who shagged my daughter?"
"I don't know who you're talking about?" Clarissa shrugged as Jack pulled himself under the desk again
"Jack Bloody Hodgson, that's who,"
"He's at a crime scene," Clarissa lied
"Well when he gets back, tell him that when I find him I am going to cut off his testicles and string them up around the lab,"
"Will do," she called as the DI left the lab slamming the door behind him "You owe me big time," Clarissa said as Jack peeked out from under the desk
"What would I do without you," he grinned "We make such a great team, I promise if I ever get to set up my own forensics' department you can come with me,"
"Oh joy," Clarissa said sarcastically
