ch. 1

Basil

It had been six months since that night...the night I proposed to my beloved Kate and accepted. My how time flies. We decided for a spring wedding; April. Giving us time to get everything prepped while I continue my work as well as she continues her lessons.

Though I had been getting fewer clients lately, possibly due to when the announcement of our engagement hit the newspaper how it seems that the only letters I've been getting was from mice and past clients congratulating us.

Then one day I received a letter from a client I hadn't heard from in two years.

Two years? has it really been that long since I had taken that case?

I had opened it and read it a couple of times to make sure I read it correctly...They were coming back to London. Her father decided that he needed to come back. That he was making better business here then back in Scotland. She said that they would pay a visit once they've gotten settled in. It had also said when they would be moving as well...which was two weeks ago, so I could only assume it will probably be another week or two till they would come down.

So after two years Miss. Flamchester...Flamchier...Miss Olivia and her father are returning to London...I wonder if she knows about the engagement. Well I'm sure she'll be just as excited as everyone else has been.

My thoughts got knocked out as I felt two paws on my shoulders and a certainly beautiful woman sitting behind me, rubbing my shoulders.

"Hello Kate."

"Hello sweetie. So what cha reading?"

"Oh a letter from a client I had a couple of years ago. Sweet little girl if not annoying at the time."

"Flaversham?"

"How did you know?"

"Other then the envelope that I can see in your hand. I've seen the movie and as far as I know she's the only little girl you've ever worked with."

I forget sometimes that Kate is from another world in the future and would know about Olivia. My how much has happened in the last two years. Though I can't seem to concentrate as I feel the massage she was giving me

"Oh god Kate, you have such a talent on my shoulders."

"Well you know I do have other such talents in my artillery."

"Well...think you can demonstrate one or two before Mrs. Judson and Dawson get back?"

I could never resist smiling when she's around...especially when she giggles, but it ended as we heard a knock on the door.

Dammit!

"Now who could that be?"

"Maybe it's another client? or Mrs. Judson bought too much and they need help through the door."

"Maybe."

I got up, leaving Kate to slide into my chair and I went to answer the door.

Olivia

I had managed to convince father to visit Mr. Basil after two weeks of being here. It's not that I only want to see Basil...but I wanted to meet this lady who's stolen his heart. After that case two years ago I had always seen Basil more of an uncle then anything and two hear that he's engaged.

She has to be something. Someone smart, brave, just a witty as him. I already knew she was pretty from the photo in the newspaper and she was part of a case that actually captured professor Ratagin...though how he survived I didn't have a clue, but if she helped catch him then she must also be useful in cases as well.

I had been wanting to meet her and see her for myself for the last couple of weeks. I had wanted to see if she really was worthy of him. We finally made it to the door. I could barely contain myself as I knocked on the door and answering it was indeed Basil. I couldn't help myself and leaped at him, hugging him at the waist. I think that I surprised him as he lost his balance and fell down with me. I hurriedly got up and gave him a hand up.

"Well...that was...certainly a surprise."

"I'm sorry Mr. Basil. I didn't mean to make you fall down."

"It's quite alright Miss Flaveshire."

"Basil, you know it's Flaversham. You shouldn't tease the poor girl."

I walked past Basil and standing from his chair in a white button up shirt, brown slacks and her brown hair pulled back possibly in a braid from the looks of it was Basil's fiance herself...Miss...Miss...Oh darn I forgot her name now.

"I wasn't teasing her...it happens."

"Well anyway. It is very nice to meet you Miss Olivia."

"You know my name?"

"Well we did get your letter and I'm pretty sure Basil here doesn't know a lot of little girls such as yourself...none that would just leap onto him like that. I mean besides me."

I smiled at her as I giggled at her little joke. She seemed nice, though it seemed weird to find a woman in slacks, but that didn't stop me from already liking her as she sat down at the steps, having me sit with her as Basil spoke with father.

"So how old are you? you look like you're either nine or ten."

"Ten Miss..."

"Kate...you can just call me Kate. I don't mind."

"Alright Kate. So how did you and Mr. Basil meet?"

"On a case he was helping me with."

"So are you like a detective or something?"

"No, I'm a private tutor. I teach the violin and art."

She plays the violin! oh and she teaches it. I wonder if I could convince father to let me learn.

"So what was the case?"

"Olivia! don't be so nosy my dear." said father as Basil and him walked back inside.

"Oh no it's alright. She just being any other kid. A little curiosity never hurt anyone."

"Yes, but a lot could get you in trouble." said Basil as I'm sure he's talking about when I ran off from Dawson to go after some bubbles that I saw.

I kind of felt bad for causing such trouble, but Kate just smiled and shook her head.

"But if you weren't curious Mr. Basil then we would have never met."

"True...so very true."

I watched him help Kate up and into his arms as she laughs. Holding onto him as he carried her over to his seat and sits her down. He certainly seems happier then when I first met him. She stood back up and touched his cheek, looking up at him with joy in her brown eyes.

"Well since Mrs. Judson is still not home, I will get all of us some tea and something to eat."

"Alright my dear."

I watched as she left for the kitchen. Coming down into the living room with father. Basil had father sit in the chair opposite of him while I curled my legs under me as I sat on the floor.

"So this really is a surprise."

"Well Olivia was so insistent that we come down and visit. I suppose I see why now. Your fiance; Miss Kate is a very lovely young lady from what I've seen." said Father

I looked shocked at father as he said that. I'm pretty sure that Basil had confirmed it as he took one look at me.

"Well I was curious. The newspaper really didn't talk much about her other then she came from America and had a hand at capturing Ratagin."

"Yes, how could he have survived that fall from Big Ben?" said Father.

"that we're not sure, but the point is that he is in jail now."

"Yes, so what was Ratagin's evil plan this time?"

"Olivia!"

"Sorry father. I shouldn't pry."

"Oh I'm sure Basil wouldn't mind. Because he get's to relive the ending of that story." said Kate as she came out with a tray with tea, cups and little sandwiches.

"You are incorrigible Kate."

"I know, I'm such a bad influence."

They smiled as she sat the tray on the table. Making Kate squeak as he pulls her over to him and sits with him on the arm rest. I never expected for Basil to act so...free around others. Even his emotions were in check when I was around him, but it's as if he's a new person...or possibly the same person, just more comfortable about showing his own emotions around people.

That's what she does to him...so what about her makes him this way?
