Elizabeth Pov-

I looked at the door leading to the set of flats under the name '221B'. My hand reached out and I straightened the door knocker before knocking on the door. An old lady with gingerish hair answered, she had a smile on her face but the indents on her forehead (wrinkles) indicated she was often severely stressed or worried.

"Hello Mrs Hudson I'm Elizabeth Watson, John's sister. I'm planning on renting 221C"

"Oh Miss Watson come in please! Does John know you're here?"

"He doesn't know and I don't really want him to know yet. It's the element of surprise"

"Well come on in dear, John and Sherlock are out at the moment on one of their cases so they won't be back for a few hours"

I entered the narrow corridor where Mrs Hudson led me to a small door.

"This is just under your brothers flat, it makes no sense to have '221C' under '221B' but it's the way things work I guess"

She got a set of keys out and unlocked the door to the flat before ushering me in. It was a large flat but some areas were covered in mold and other areas had ripped wallpaper. The kitchen was nice with the table and the living room already had few bits of furniture sprouted about.

"And how many bedrooms does it have again?"

"Just the two dear, is that ok?"

"I'm not expecting anyone over so it's fine, is there a bed already moved into it?"

"In the master room yes"

"Then I think we have everything sorted. Rent will be paid on time as agreed"

"Alright then dear, we better get your stuff in before Sherlock and John come back"

After moving all the small boxes of stuff I had into my flat, I sat on the sofa at was about to close my eyes when I heard a door open and slam close.

"Mrs Hudson why has 221C been entered?" A deep masculine voice asked.

I could tell it wasn't my brother by the voice so it was obviously his flatmate- Sherlock which meant John would either be with him or not far trailing behind.

"Oh Sherlock, John you both have new flat mates!"

I heard Mrs Hudson approach the door with people behind. I rushed to the door before she knocked and swung the door open wide.

"Hello John!"
