"What do I need to do?"
"Bring me this man. Sherlock Holmes."
I nodded and left the office to examine the folder that was given to me. I needed no further information from the man other than the folder. I don't even know his name. All I know is that he can pay me even more that what I do is probably worth. He's given me quite a pretty penny already for supplies alone.
Perhaps I should introduce myself: I am – or currently am- AbigailHowell. Before Abigail, I was Eliza.
Before Eliza, I was Felicity. And before that; Susan. I've also been Catherine, Tabitha, Rachel, Thomas, Michael… and so continues the list.
Confused? Good. My job isn't to inform you of the truth. Just the opposite as it happens. I am a spy, an agent, and the occasional assassin. And a damn good one at that.
I can honestly say that most of the time, I am quite happy with what I do. It's far more rewarding than being a useless pouting wife to some self-absorbed, sexist pig of a husband. Even if it is what I need to pose as.
I got to my flat just as dusk was settling in. I opened the heavily locked door, lit some candles and set to work.
I opened the very think folder that had all the information I could possibly need on this man and his partner.

Holmes is extremely observant, resourceful and professional. Often in the company of Dr. Jonathan Watson who, like Holmes, is very skilled in multiple kinds of combat as well as disguise. Holmes seems to keep only to himself and Watson whom is like his brother: probably his only weakness.
Holmes is an eccentric, but still a gentleman and enjoys being glorified.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE EITHER OF THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
Also included were a large list, pages long, of cases he's solved, routines he has, and several detailed sketches of both Holmes and Dr. Watson.
I couldn't help but notice the sketches portrayed Holmes as quite… attractive. In a rugged and unkempt way, but attractive nonetheless. Dr. Watson was also rather handsome but more clean-cut. I studied their faces and features and decided who Abigail Howell should be.
I decided, after some time, that Abigail is an upper-class (but not so upper-class that the family is well-known) young lady, who's mother, Jane, had died in childbirth due to an early labor. Abigail's father, Thomas has resented Abigail on some level and she eventually left to experience life by herself. These characteristics make Abigail strong emotionally, but still seemingly vulnerable and naïve.
And all at once I had my plan to get Sherlock Holmes.
