Sally had always wanted to be a detective, always had liked to solve mysteries and as an alpha it could easily been done, rather quickly in fact. So when the first case she had ever done with Lestrade, a tall man came walking in and solve her puzzle she had even gotten a chance to even try. She had not been very happy. That was not the reason that Sherlock Holmes bothered Sally so much. That was probably because of the fact that he liked it, enjoyed it even, relished in the fact that he had out smarted someone again. He didn't even care that innocent people, omega and alpha alike, had died.

Sally's father had been killed by a psychopath, and since then she had studied them. Even then it had never occurred to her that when Sherlock Holmes had first walked onto a crime scene he was a monster just like the people they worked against. Of course he had denied it, always saying that he was a sociopath. But everyone has their snapping point, even people who never feel any emotion. But Sherlock Holmes must have been raised to tell a person's snapping point.

The Freak had actually been working as a 'Consulting Detective' for longer than Sally had been trying to get in the police force. It was only a few weeks more than her, but apparently that was enough for everyone to have a sour opinion of him. Because when she got there more than one person explained to her why the strange man was allowed in on a case. Not one thing nice had been said about him, and when Sally had met him she sure knew why. Their first conversation that they had ever had went pretty much like this,

'So… You're a detective?'

'A consulting detective.'

'You're a… consulting detective?'

'Isn't that what I just said?'

'Yeah…'

'Then why do you feel the need to repeat me?'

'It was just a question.'

'That I had just told you the answer too.'

'So? I haven't ever heard of a 'consulting detective' before. Are you trained for it or somethin'?

'No.'

'So what do you actually do? Why ask you to come?'

'Because when the police are out of there league, which is always, they consult me. I tell them what should have been obvious.'

'Like what? What would you know that I couldn't?'

'You're an alpha who has never actually been with an omega, yet you keep up the appearance that you have had many. Probably because you're mother left your father or more likely, because she was distant and didn't want to have children in the first place. Some omegas actually don't. You originally wanted to be a policeman because you wanted to help people; you became one because someone killed a parent. Probably father, but mother is always the possibility. It only took a short amount of time because your gender, probably only a few months, year tops. That's why you moved to London because of this job; I can tell that you only moved a few weeks ago from the small scraps on your hands, a razor blade that is primarily only used in moving. So you ask yourself again, why use an amateur?'

'How do you know that?'

'I don't know, I notice.'

Sally had then noticed how Sherlock acted around other people; he seemed to look down upon every single one of them, as though they were dirt underneath his shoe. People definitely didn't like him very much, and barely tolerated him. It was rather strange that he acted that way, so loud and aggressive, so obviously an alpha that it was off-putting.

Eventually she discussed all of her theories with Anderson, who agreed and pointed out that Alpha's mostly had that need to overpower and make everyone submissive; Sherlock did that to everyone on a regular basis. He seemed to only listen to John. It was strange, because John, even with his short stature and kind face was actually an alpha too. But they didn't seem to clash like Sally and Sherlock, or Sherlock and Anderson, or Sherlock and any person in the London area.

"It doesn't make any sense does it? I'm an alpha and I get along way better with people." Sally mused once with Anderson; though a beta himself Anderson still had learned enough about them from Sally to get a good idea that Sherlock Holmes was not a usual alpha. Well, he wasn't usual at anything, but the genetics of an alpha really shouldn't be that obvious.

Jokingly Anderson had once added, "What if he wasn't an alpha at all? He's just a really aggressive beta? God, I just had the idea of him being an omega! Him waddling around with a pregnant belly!" Anderson chuckled a bit before giving his farewell and going home for the day.

But the idea stuck to Sally. It began pestering at her for more attention. Sally learned one thing about being a cop it's that if your feel it in your gut that something's off, it usually is. It didn't make sense though, Sherlock being anything else then an alpha, he fit all the applications. Loud, rambunctious, aggressive to other alphas, but then again he pretty much fit for any gender. He had never denied that he was anything else then an alpha, never confirmed it either.

He could always be a beta. It made sense in a twisted sort of way. He had never been in a relationship, as far as Sally knew, and betas didn't really need too. He was always collected. But he could just be annoyed with alphas and acted as such. It fit, as Sally already said, in a twisted way. If he was a beta it would change the way the force tolerated him and more people would stand up to him.

'You're not looking at all the possibilities.' A voice in her head reprimanded her. Sally was annoyed that it sounded like the freak.

It had never occurred to her the last option. The freak is the least submissive person that Sally had ever met. Of course most omegas' genetics have thinned out the submissiveness. But they usually are better behaved, and he never obeys orders, never takes no for an answer and Sally had never caught whiff of any heat on him, ever. That's not to say that he could be masking their pheromones with an alpha's or even suppressing there heats all together. But why would someone do that? Omegas are not treated as badly as they were a hundred years. Several laws had been passed in order to protect omega's rights. But if Sherlock was an omega it would shift how the whole police force thought of him. They biologically felt the need to protect and care for omegas. In turn omegas felt the need to protect and care for children. They probably wouldn't want him at crime scenes anymore.

They would probably not want him anywhere near any sort of danger. With the Freak's 'fan club' now, a lot of people would protest that Sherlock wouldn't be a good fit for police work any longer. Even a rumor would probably put Sherlock out of police force forever. Might actually loss him his fan base, people don't usually like to take orders from an omega. Not even advice to this very day. If this got out, Sally could only imagine the panic on that freaks face.

That's when a wickedly, nasty idea crept up inside of Sally.
