Truth or Dare
Sandra remembered the night of the party during the end of the summer term. She got the phone call from her best friend, Felix Hobbers, sobbing and crying. Sandra didn't go to the party because she was not a party type girl. That night, she was spending her time, reading a book while in her tub, relaxing with a bottle of Coke. When she got the phone call, she dried herself and rushed to the party place. When she got there, Felix was bursting out through the door, running. Sandra stopped her car and Felix jumped in. Before she sped off, she saw the people were laughing.
But that was years ago. Sandra grew up, the second children out of six of the Charleston family. Their father worked as an accountant for the Hobbers family. Sandra and Felix were playmates when they were young. Felix had an older brother named Justin, who was in the army. Justin and Sandra's older sister, Sara used to be in love. They were engaged before Justin was sent to Afghanistan. After Justin left, Sara went to work as her father's protégé while Sara went to further her studies in Forensic Science with Felix and that's when it happened.
When they finished study, Sandra was accepted as an Inspector at Scotland Yard. Sandra was only a year there, when Sara called, crying said Felix tried to kill himself. Sandra left in haste, leaving her boss, Detective Inspector Lestrade with curiousity. Felix was paralyzed. Shame drove him to do this. Justin had just came back from Afghanistan and said they found him hanging in the cabin at the woods, clutching a postcard saying – 'Truth or Dare, Bitch'.
Sandra remembered Felix said about the party during the end of the Summer Term. A man named Chris humiliated him because Felix had a crush on Gemma, Chris's girlfriend back then. Sandra was about to confronted Chris, who was at a park, smoking with another man Sandra knew back in her university years named Luke, but before she could give Chris a punch square in the face, her…, co-worker, Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective, stopped her, saying, "Not worth it, Sandra! Back away".
Sherlock and Sandra had their differences…, but unlike Anderson, Sherlock preferred her than Anderson. Sandra was sometimes annoyed on how he commented on how she dress; her taste in music and food and so on. When she confided in Sara one day, who was at that time was having a video call with Justin at Afghanistan (before Felix's suicide), Sara said that Sherlock likes Sandra. "Don't be ridiculous, Sara", said Sandra and Justin agreed on Sara's judgment.
When Felix attempted suicide, Sandra took a week of emergency leave to look after Felix. On her third day of absence, Lestrade called, begging her to come back because Sherlock was driving everyone crazy with his antics. "Lestrade, I told you, my family needs me. I can't just run back to work now", said Sandra. "Sandra, Sherlock is turning crazy because of you! You're not here!", said Lestrade. Why on earth Sherlock would turn insane because of her? The moment she hung up the call, Sherlock burst into Felix's ICU unit.
"There you are, I need you to come with me", said Sherlock as he grabbed her wrist, but Sandra snatched her wrist away. Justin wanted to throw Sherlock out, but Sara stopped him. "Sherlock, can't you see my friend is ill?!", Sandra yelled, but loud enough to reach Sherlock's ears only. Sherlock saw Felix and began his deduction – "Suicide attempt due to shame, regarding a postcard that he received recently that has something to do with his university life because he had a crush at a girl and was humiliated by the girl's prick boyfriend. That prick was the man you wanted to punch the other day. Correct me if I'm wrong, Sandra". Sandra pulled Sherlock out of the room and asked him why he wanted her in the case since she was a rookie when the Scotland Yard has tons of other forensic experts. "I need you, other than John, because I can't seem to function without you! I need you, Sandra!", said Sherlock.
Sandra wanted to protest, but Sherlock silenced her with a kiss. Justin and Sara poked their heads out and despite all the sadness, Sara managed to giggle. "Well, about time", said Justin. Justin pulled Sara back in to let Sandra and Sherlock have their moment…, well, at least until Sandra's youngest twin siblings, Simoné and Simon caught Sandra and Sherlock and Simon said, "For the love of God, you two, get a room". Sandra chuckled and threw the tissue in her hand at Simon.
Whenever is Sandra's turn to look after Felix at the hospital, Sherlock would always accompany her there. When morning arrived and it was Justin and Sara's turn to watch over, they always find Sherlock held Sandra in his arms and the blankets were around them; it's as if Sherlock preferred himself to be Sandra's blanket than the blanket itself. Plus, when Sherlock made his deduction on either Anderson or Sgt. Donovan, his deduction would always make her laugh, because basically, Sandra didn't like either Donovan or Anderson. Later on, Sandra moved in and lived with Sherlock.
So, here is where it all started. Felix was nowhere near into getting better, so after marrying Sara, Justin moved Felix to their family's country manor with Sara and himself. Since Sara and Sandra's siblings – Samantha and Samuel were living at campus in London while Simoné and Simon were living at boarding school nearby the Hobbers's country manor, it's easier for Sara and Sandra to look after them, but things began to get haywire later on – when Justin decided to get even.
