On My Own
Getting to know you
I have barely seen Sherlock and John ever since the day we first met as they have had many cases to solve. Today though was a different story, this was my chance to find out as much as i could about Sherlock Holmes. I left my apartment and made my way up to 221b and knocked on the door.
"It's open" i heard a voice say, so i opened the door and saw Sherlock laying down on a couch with his eyes closed, obviously concentrating on something, another case perhaps?
"Miss Smith, what is it that you want" Sherlock asked
"I just popped in for a chat you know get to know my neighbors better, how did you know it was me and where is John?" i asked confused
"John is out on a date, and i knew it was you as john would have used his keys and Mrs Hudson always starts talking as soon as she enters the room, so it was obviously you as you are the only other tenant in this building"
"wow, you are very clever Mr Holmes, what else can you deduce about me?" I ask him as i sit down
"Well Mrs Smith, you are 19 years old, just finished school and you will be starting university in September, you haven't got a job, nor are you looking for one as you spend all of your time here, your parents are wealthy as you have an expensive phone and no job and you are very close with them" he says still laying down, i sit on the couch opposite him
"wow, you are mostly right, but please call me Beth most people do." Sherlock then sat up sharply and looked me dead in the eye witch made me blush so i quickly hid my face and he said
"Mostly right, what did i get wrong"
"well Sherlock, my brother is the one who is wealthy and he did buy me this phone, also i am not close with my parents as i haven't seen them since i was 4 when the social took me and my brother away from them"
"Dam, i was close though, you are very close to your brother then, i take it he raised you?"
"Yeah he did, and i am very great full to have such a caring and wonderful brother, what about you Sherlock, do you have any siblings?"
"i have a brother, Mycroft, i do not get on very well with him"
"No, why not?"
"I'd rather not talk about it"
Just as i was getting to know Sherlock, we was disrupted by a call from Lestrade asking him to come and help investigate a murder. Sherlock suddenly stood up and started to jump up and down and said;
"This is brilliant" he then stopped and a look of realization and disappointment was on his face, he then turned to me and smiled " Beth, would you like to come and help me solve this case as John is busy and i need an assistant that i can get along with, i hope your ok with dead corpses"
OMG SHERLOCK JUST ASKED ME TO HELP HIM SOLVE A CASE, THIS MEANS MORE TIME WITH HIM, NO, CALM DOWN ELIZABETH, YOU NEED TO FOCUS FOR YOUR BROTHER
"Sure i would love to help" and with that said, we left and when we were in the cab on the way to the crime scene i texted my brother: Hey Jim, got more info on Sherlock, he has a feud with his brother and for some reason he seems to love solving cases, i'm helping him solve one now as John is busy and he asked me for help, i am getting very close to him now x x x x
Not long after i received a reply from Jim saying: Well done little sis, not much longer and my little games can start x x x x
