Here is chapter one I hope you like it.

Chapter one
(Third Person)

Monday
"Jack, Nikki" Thomas Chamberlain's voice filled the labs calling all the way from his office "where are those reports that you promised me?". Nikki and Jack rolled their eyes simultaneously; they hated doing reports but then again who did. Clarissa, who was over in the corner, started giggling and stifling any laughs that may be any louder and draw attention to her. To be honest she couldn't believe that the pair were late handing in their reports yet again, they were terribly unorganised (though it was mostly Jacks fault) but it was a rather hilarious spectacle.

Tom walked into the labs and found both the scientist and the pathologist adamantly typing at their computers completely absorbed by their work, a rarity in itself, but then looked over into the far corner to find Clarissa in fits of laughter. It was as if the roles had been reversed usually Clarissa was picking up the pieces helping to complete the work that they hadn't done. At the moment however they had no excuses there had been no cases for a solid week now and everyone was getting bored so now was the time to be completing all those over dew reports which for some meant quite a few.

"Wait!" Nikki exclaimed " I have one more sentence just wait please". Thomas sighed and walked out of the room some things never change.

Tuesday
Clarissa, jack and Nikki as well as all the lab techs all sat at the table in the conference room, Tom sat at the head. Tuesdays from 9-10am was always the staff briefing. It was a meeting were notices were mainly given out about new techniques and software for things such a facial reconstruction. Today this meeting was being used to give an important notice about a new member of staff.

" Okay staff, thank you all for coming and joining me in the weekly briefing" Tom began " today however I will only be keeping for a few minutes the world of death and murders or lack there of recently has caused there to be no major notices of that respect however there this. Now this may come as quite a surprise that starting from next week we will be taking in a Trainee completing the last part of coarse and when they come I would understandably like you all to help and to guide them through there last step of training." and with that Thomas Chamberlain walked out of the room leaving everyone left inside completely puzzled as to who this new member might be.

Wednesday
"So" Clarissa started as jack entered the room "what are you betting on?"
"What do you mean what am I betting on?" jack replied a decidedly confused look on his face/
"The newbie, der! There are four categories; Job, age, gender and qualification. So what are you betting then?" Clarissa said laying down the rules.
"Hey can I not have a minute to think!" Jack cried in protest.
"oh thinking, that sounds dangerous do you think you can handle it?" Both Jack and Clarissa turned their heads in surprise to see Nikki standing in the door way to the lab.

"how long have you been standing there?" Jack asked rather casually after his previous reaction
"long to here you were betting on something but not what was?" Nikki replied
"we were just betting on the newbie, there are four categories" she went on to explain for the second time "Job, age gender and qualification. What are you betting on?"
"oh, ok, well I would say Lab tech, midthirties, male and a PhD which would be what he was training for." Nikki answered.
" who are you hoping for, the perfect man" Clarissa jested.
" Ha-ha"
"Ok I think I have got it" Jack intercepted the conversation all eyes turning on him " I am going to bet on Pathologist, Seventies male and doctor of medicine"
" you do realise that they are coming here to finish their training therefore it is unlikely that they would be in their seventies right" Clarissa said very matter of factly.

"oh well, what did you bet on Clarissa" Jack replied not really caring.
" Me! Ok, well, um pathologist, late twenties, female and medical doctor" Clarissa said as though she was spewing things of the top of her head. Nikki and jack turned their heads to look at each other and gave each other a knowing look, it was obvious neither of them thought that Clarissa was right.

Thursday- Part one.
Ring, ring. Nikki woke up to her phone ringing for what was first time in almost two weeks. She glanced at her clock before answering the phone 2am- why couldn't people just die during the day.
" Hello Dr Alexander speaking" Nikki said answering the phone her voice thick with sleep.
" Yes hello Dr Alexander this is DI Thompson there's been a murder although you may have guessed that with me calling you at 2 o'clock in the morning. We will obviously need you to look at the body." The man's voice was cold with very little expression, not the kind of person you want a call from at 2 o'clock in the morning.
"Of course, where is the crime scene?" Nikki asked echoing the coldness of the DI; she wasn't particularly impressed with being woken up so early.
" 24 air street, you know those high rise offices would you also mind bringing you forensic scientist of your Jack hodgeson"
" Yes of course, thank you I will be there in half an hour" Nikki replied ending the awkward conversation.

The DI then hung up the phone promptly and Nikki began to get ready, this was going to be a long day.
