CHAPTER 1

The Mysterious Disappearance

One odd morning in July, John Watson woke up. He went into the living room to find Sherlock, but he didn't seem to be there. John didn't feel worried at all right then, Sherlock did this sort of thing all the time. But something felt off, John just didn't know what it was at the moment. It kept niggling at the back of his mind, but he was just too tired to think about it, so he got some coffee and went on Sherlock's website. When he sat down in the chair, something felt wrong against his back. As he looked around he found Sherlock's coat, now John was worried. Sherlock never leaves his coat at home. Then, he saw a note on the table, John curiously picked up the note and opened it, it read.

Sun, July 10

Dear Dr. Watson,

I have captured Sherlock Homes. I will kill him unless you, Dr. Watson, find all the clues to where I have hidden him. Only then, will I not kill him. I give you one week to find all seven of the clues to where I have hidden Sherlock Homes. If not, I'll kill him.

Also if you tell anyone else about this, I will kill you, Sherlock, and anyone else that you have told. So no pressure, and good luck. The game is on Dr. Watson. The game is on!

Here is a hint to find your first clue...

It lies inside of something very special of his.

Sincerely,

Jim Moriarty.

As Dr. Watson stared dumbfound he quickly realized the note had to be there that morning because it had the same date as today, so he quickly went to work he took anything special to Sherlock. But only managed to find two things that were special enough to Sherlock or could hold anything inside it, and the items were his phone, and his coat. John thought it could be a message inside of the phone, so he checked all of the mail or anything that could have had the message inside of it. But, he didn't find anything. So he checked his coat pockets and nothing was in it. John said 'this doesn't make any sense, where did he hide the note?' then he realized, it lies inside of something very special of his. John swiftly grabbed the phone and a screwdriver and opened the back of the phone and there it was a small folded up note tucked in the phone. Dr. Watson grabbed the note and opened it. It read...

You found the first clue! Just six more to go!

Your next clue is...

Retrace your steps, to a painting, inside is where it lies.

He didn't know what it meant but one thing John was sure of, it would not be easy to get Sherlock back.
