Napier

He looked at Siobhan. "Ready?" he asked uncertainly.

"Ready when you are." the Medical Examiner replied. The blonde seemed to be enjoying what they were about to do, which was sort of ironic since it was supposed to be Napier's father's birthday celebration.

"Present?"

"Check."

"Lines memorised?"

"Check."

Napier took in a deep breath.

You'll be fine, he told himself. Everything's gonna be fine.

"Jack?" Siobhan asked with concern. "Just relax. It's just a celebration. We're just going to go in, talk a little bit, get some DNA, and we're done."

The soldier decided to fiddle with his suit instead, his hands smoothing nonexistent wrinkles. "I hate monkey suits..." he muttered under his breath. He sucked in another deep breath, then turned to his partner for the evening. "Let's go in."

Siobhan gently wrapped her hands around his arm. "Lead the way."

They proceeded to talk calm, confident, abet small steps towards the mansion's entrance until the one of the men in black stopped them. Napier took out the invitation card from his jacket. The security guard gave a silent nod in approval and stepped aside, allowing them to move on.

Once they were indoors, a distinctive blonde man approached. Drake Frost's green eyes were as sharp, piercing, and bright as usual. "Mr. Barker, it's nice to see you here," he greeted with a diplomatic smile, voice smooth. A little too smooth for Napier's liking. Then he gestured to Siobhan. "And this would be...?"

The pathologist stretched out a hand and self-introduced. "I'm Siobhan Alexander, nice to meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine, Miss Alexander. Now if you would, please follow me." the man said.

"Where's my father?"

"Mr. Barker Sr. has something urgent to see to right now. I've been instructed to ensure that you're served well. Now if you would-"

"Oh we're just fine. Why don't you tend to other more important guests?" Siobhan interrupted. "I'm sure many here are distinguished personalities in the social hierarchy. Please don't let us hold you back."

Frost smiled, as if he had already expected to hear that. "Of course, I shall not get in your way then. Enjoy your evening," he said, turning around and walking away afterwards.

"I don't like that guy." Siobhan said.

"Welcome to the club."

A/N: I know this is really short, but I'm still not used to writing yet. The aftereffects of too much exams, I suppose, LOL.
