"Okay so Jane Doe 1 was raped" Leo said as he and Harry stood in the layout room going over the case "Her throat was cut and she bled out" Leo moved a crime scene picture of the neck wound so it was next to the picture of the red headed woman. Harry nodded from his seat at the table as Leo did so then pointed his pen at one of the interactive boards Leo was standing in front of.

"Jane Doe 2 wasn't raped but had her stomach slashed, which by the way exposed half her internal organs, and had her throat slashed" he paused to let Leo move pictures and information around on the screen then continued "The cut on the stomach most defiantly came first before the one on the neck and would have caused her death if the perp hadn't have cut her neck afterwards"

"So cause of death was severed artery?" Leo enquired and Harry nodded and sighed

"As well as the spinal cord so I think we are looking for a strong very sharp knife"

Leo nodded and stepped back to look at the interactive board, he leant his back against the table Harry was sitting at.

"According to our findings Jane Doe 1 died first, so Jane Doe 2 must have been subdued somehow while he had his way with the red headed one"

"There were bruises around the wrists" Harry butted in and Leo nodded towards the autopsy pictures of the body were on screen "Maybe made with a rope but none was found at the scene"

"So he took it with him afterwards" Leo added and Harry nodded

"Right"

They were interrupted by a knock on the door and they both look around to see a young lab technician standing in the doorway with a policeman they both recognised.

"Dr Cunningham, Professor Dalton" Detective Mays greeted as he stepped forward and shook the pathologist's hands "Long time no see" he turned to look at Harry "How are Nikki and the children? I heard you have another little boy as well?"

"They are fine thank you" Harry nodded "and yes we have another little boy, Darius, he's almost two months old"

"Congratulations" Mays said then turned to Leo who had taken the papers the lab technician "What do we have?"

"Names for them" Leo replied, still looking at the papers in his hands "The blonde one is Maria Ann Nichols and her friend is Katherine Margaret Walsh"

"Do we have addresses?" Mays asked and walked over to Leo who nodded and handed him a sheet of paper "I'll go and inform families" he sighed and walked out of the room.

Harry smirked in Leo's direction.

"He was being a bit nicer than normal" he commented and Leo shrugged

"We haven't worked with him in a while, that might change"

"So why did the perp rape Katherine but not Maria?" Harry enquired and Leo sighed and shrugged slightly.

--------------------------

"Hello beautiful" Harry greeted Nikki as he walked into the house after his shift that day. After Leo and himself had finished processing the bodies during the night they had both gone back home after agreeing to perform the autopsies the next day.

"Hel.." was all Nikki got out before Harry kissed her and backed her against the kitchen worktop. Both were grinning when he pulled away "Hello".

Nikki placed the towel she was using back on the side before following Harry into the living room where he was sitting on the floor with the twins who were hugging him.

"How was your day?" she asked from the kitchen doorway and Harry sighed and shook his head. Reaching out he ran his hand over Graham's blonde hair that was slowly turning brown then stood up and walked over to Nikki.

"Quite honestly it was bloody awful" he whispered and took her hand to lead her out of the room and upstairs to the nursery where Darius had started crying. "Come here" he whispered as he leant down and picked up the screaming baby. Nikki placed one hand on Harry's arm and allowed Darius to cling to one of her fingers.

"He's hungry, you can tell me about your day downstairs" she told Harry without looking at him and he nodded.

"Leo and I thought there might be two different attackers" Harry explained as Nikki stood on the opposite side of the kitchen feeding Darius. He glanced through the door to where the twins were playing in the living room, he was being careful of what he was saying. They could both pick up words so easily and he didn't want them picking up something to do with his work, that would take a lot of explaining when they went out. "Which may explain why one was…" he looked pointedly at Nikki who nodded, knowing what he was saying "and one wasn't, but the wounds were made by only one weapon" he sighed and shook his head. Nikki walked over to him and placed Darius in his fathers arms then handed him the half filled bottle.

"Feed your son and forget about it until tomorrow" she said quietly and leant up to kiss him as he smiled and nodded. Nikki then turned and walked into the living room and sat down next to Edward and Graham. Edward crawled over to her and climbed onto her lap, Nikki wrapped her arms around him and pressed a kiss onto his hair while Harry went and sat on the sofa opposite, still feeding Darius.

"One of them had a son" he commented after a while and Nikki shot him a look.

"Harry" she sighed and shook her head.

While I've been baby sitting for the past two days I have written the next ten or so chapters. So you may have at least one update a day. ;)
