Case In Naples

by Tillthewheelsfalloff

Case!Fic. Sherlock and John receive a letter asking them to come to Naples where there has been a series of murders and disappearances, each with the only clue being a single letter C C G G A A. What do the letters mean? Can be read alone or as a Sequel to 'Old Friends'.

1. The Letter

AN: This idea is originally thought of by Catherss who is also acting as the beta.

"Dear Mr Holmes,

A case has come into light in Naples and you have been recommended by the British Government and most highly by New Scotland Yard. More details will be given on arrival to Naples (A plane ticket has been enclosed, with an additional ticket for Doctor Watson and one for whomever you may deem useful); however, we can tell you now that there have been a series of murders. These are the following clues:

-Each has been signed with a single letter, not corresponding to the victim, or to anything else.

-Each letter is handwritten by the victim before they are murdered.

-The letters so far so far are C, C, G, G, A, and A in that order.

- Nothing connects the victims or places they were murdered, though it is usually within their own home.

You will be working with Italy's best detective, Antonio Caprialla and his son, Lukas. They have both been merited in Italy and will be delighted to work with you and your companion.

While you are in Naples all expenses have been paid for, and a credit card in your name will be activated once you arrive. The pin will be told to you on your arrival. You will be staying Caprialla's house until the case has been solved or searches have been abandoned.

Regards,

Chief Inspector James del-Malere of the Naples Police Service"
