More Than A Detective
Chapter 1:- An Unexpected Assignment
It was cold, it was wet, it was dull and as Sherlock would like to say, it was downright boring. BANG!
Sherlock shot the wall once more. He was relaxed in the knowledge that Mrs Hudson was currently visiting her sister in Manchester so he knew he would not be receiving any complaints from her tonight. Sherlock tossed the now unloaded gun onto the table before lying backwards on the couch, hands in a praying like manner rested against his chin as his eyes fell closed.
Anyone who knew Sherlock well knew that this was a clear sign that he was entering his mind palace and unless you wanted him taking his 'bored state' on you then you were under no circumstances to disturb him.
DINGDONG! Sherlock's eyes shot open,
"Shut Up!" he yelled and was surprised that no second ring followed the first causing his eyebrow to raise in a curious manner which was then followed by a grumble. He stood and moved to the window, sliding it open and stuck his head out only to be greeted by the empty, illuminated street below. The only sound came from the cars that stalked the London streets. Sherlock's eyes squinted in a irritated yet curious manner. Why would someone ring his doorbell and then simply leave without trying at least one more time? The high functioning sociopath was no stranger to the childish game that was Ding Dong Ditch but Baker Street had never been victim to such pranks.
Sherlock headed downstairs in a bored manner. Normal as it would seem and come to any other person. 'Opening The Door' was both tedious and annoying to Sherlock.
He removed the safety chain before pulling the door ajar only for his eyes to widen,
"What sort of hellish joke is this?" he murmured to himself as he took in the sight of the shoddy cardboard box left on his front step containing a whimpering new born child wrapped in a poor excuse for a blanket.
:O Oh dear what on earth is going on?! Why has a baby been left on the steps of 221B? What is Sherlock going to do?!
You'll have to review and let me know what you think in order to unlock the next chapter!
