Chapter 1: This Is War


The Holmes and Hooper families had been friends across the generations, However this was not to be said for the middle child of the Holmes family, Sherlock and the Hooper's youngest, Molly.


Molly and Sherlock were as the eldest Holmes, Mycroft would describe as mortal enemies.


Mr and Mrs Holmes had hoped that Molly and Sherlock would grow to become friends being the same age but unfortunately that was not to be,

"You're mean" a young Molly scolded Sherlock when he refused to let her play chess with his,

"And you are inferior" he snapped back and little Molly pouted,

"Mummy! Sherlock's using big words I don't understand again!" she yelled and her mother sighed where as Sherlock's father and mother looked at Molly's parents with sorry expressions,

"Apologies... Sherlock likes to steal his father's dictionary from his study" Sherlock's mother explained before taking a sip of her tea as her husband did the same.


Yes, Sherlock Holmes and Molly Hooper were two completely different people, One would grow to describe himself as a high functioning sociopath and a well sort out detective and as for Molly, she went off to a high class boarding school in Paris.


12 years later


Sherlock had moved out of the family home and found independence in a small flat rented out to him by a lady in Baker Street, He was an irritating, selfish, pig headed and he was still the best damn detective London had ever seen.


At least he had been, Sherlock had grown frustrated over the past three months as he had not been contacted by Lestrade or any member of the police force, requesting his help on a case,

"Don't worry Sherlock, It's a good thing no one's committing serious enough crimes to get you involved" his friend, John Watson comforted in a simple tone as he edited one of their old cases for his online blog.


One morning found John rolling his eyes when Sherlock burst into the flat carrying a disconnected police radio,

"Oh god, Sherlock. Lestrade's going to kill you" John expressed but the detective didn't seem faced as he plugged it in before tuning into the right frequency,

"I am a man when needs must, takes matters into his own hands John" he responded causing the doctor to roll his eyes again when the radio sprung to life,

"We have a 187 in the east London area. All units respond" the radio grumbled and Sherlock felt himself smile brightly as he rushed over to the book case to a police handbook he had 'borrowed' on his last visit to the police station,

"187? 187? 187?" he searched the pages before his smile grew and he looked towards John,

"Murder" he confirmed.


Lestrade had cornered off the area to the public but soon held a look of panic when he saw Sherlock enter the crime scene followed by John,

"aaaaaaaa... Sherlock you really don't wanna go in there" Lestrade warned as the high functioning sociopath approached the tent that had been placed around the body,

"Seriously Lestrade, you know you can't solve this without my input" Sherlock said simply.


A police officer standing outside the tent looked unsure as Sherlock approached,

"Errrrrrrr... The detective hasn't finished analysing the body, Sir" the police officer informed Lestrade who proceeded to close his eyes in a guilty manner and Sherlock looked at him confused with a hint of anger,

"What detective?" he demanded and when Lestrade looked at him with silent guilt, Sherlock entered the tent and was stunned to find a woman examining the victim's body,

"Sorry Detective." Lestrade murmured as he entered after Sherlock and the woman stood with a gentle smile,

"No problem, Lestrade. I was finished anyway" she responded and Lestrade coughed awkwardly,

"This is Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detetive. Sherlock this is Molly Hooper, Evaluation Detective" Lestrade introduced and the man and woman looked at each other stunned,

"Molly?" Sherlock demanded,

"Sherlock?" Molly demanded in the same tone.
