"Leo" Harry called across the lab as he put his coat on, ready to go home for a well needed rest "You haven't seen Nikki have you?"

The older pathologist walked out of his office and shook his head

"I thought she was on that case on the train. Body found in a carriage" Leo informed him and closed the Su Do Ku book he was holding "she told me there was something she needed to do" he checked his watch "three hours ago now"

Harry nodded

"She's probably too wrapped up to call" he chuckled and pulled on his scarf "Phone me if she calls will you? See you tomorrow" he paused and shook his head "no you wont, day off, see you on Wednesday"

"Okay" Leo called from his computer "And likewise, if Nikki phones you will you call me? Just so I know she's okay"

"Will do" Harry nodded and the door burst open, both men looked up in alarm at the loud intrusion and Leo opened his mouth to shout at whoever it was

"Professor Dalton. Dr Cunningham" the young police officer gasped "Dr Alexander has been attacked" he paused and both men stared at him "they don't think she's going to make it"
