Chapter-1: A Letter to Molly_

My Dear Molly,

It has been too long since I have answered any of you letters properly and I had my reasons which I made clear to you right before I left. But I still fill like I should apologies to you sincerely. I would like you to know I have got all the letters you have send me at my home. Though I was not there in last five years my sister made sure I got them at wherever I was since she was the only one who had any short of updates on me.

I must say I am impressed to see how much successful life you have obtained. I am also glad that you have finally moved on from what we had though I couldn't. Still I am proud of you.

After I read your letters, I struggled to not write you back because whenever I try to write I simple end up explaining my situation. You do that me Molly, you make me tell, write stuff to you that I don't share with anyone. And I sure do not want you know the things I have been doing seines I left England.

And that reminds me of the reason to why I'm writing to you all of a sudden.

Have you heard that Billy Chambers has hung himself to death? Apparently he could not take the tortures teasing of his fellow sail mates for being a teenage serial killer.

Peter had sent me the news vie my sister, in case you are wandering. He had also said that Billy had written a suicide note where he for the first and last time in his life has motioned that he was not a killer.

When I found about this I was struck with guilt. The guilt of that maybe I'm done a mistake of deducing Billy as the killer. But there were proves like, Billy would aloes despair at the same time one victim had and few hours letter we would find the dead victim. One night I had seen with my own eyes Billy following Kitty in the woods and the next morning she was found dead inside the woods. And each one of the victims had their shares of arguments with Billy. Beside Billy grew up in family of abusing.

Now it may sound like I am justifying myself but I am not. I just want to what really happened in those three days of our life. And that's where you came in.

In your letters you have said that you are wall acquainted with Sherlock Holmes. I have heard of him before whenever I was in London (Do not fill upset that I did not came to see you, I did not had that much time) and I would really like it if investigate this case.

Molly, do not think that I am using you as a mean to get in touch with Sherlock Holmes. Because I am not, I promise I have changed for the better.

You do not have to right me back or anything. I am coming to London and this time for a long time. And the first thing I shall when I reach there is to meet you.

I hope you are well.

Your well wisher

Conner Radford.


Molly folded the letter back and put it in her handbag and walked out of her apartment. She started to walk towards the tube station for work in an uncomfortable numbness.
