Chapter Two: Staying.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing…"

"Bullshit..."

John looked up momentary from his mobile phone and gave Rachel a glare from his chair – Rachel was sat opposite him with her head in her hand rolling her eyes remembering 5 minutes ago…

Flashback.

"Rac…hel?"

"John! Look at the mess you made…" Mrs Hudson tutted and automatically went to the kitchen to clean up the shattered cup.

Rachel frowned at John – he had changed since the last time she had saw him and that was before he went to war, and then she heard he had come back injured and living in London.

His hair was a little greyer, he had large bags under his eyes and he always wore those woolly jumpers and checkered shirts underneath them.

But most of all – it was his reaction, he looked really shocked that she was here.

"What are you doing here?" John managed to get out finally after staring at her.

"What do you mean, 'what am I doing here?' You know why I'm here Uncle John…" Rachel replied as Mrs Hudson reappeared with her eyes wide.

"Uncle!"

End of flashback

"So, what are you doing?" Again, John ignored her and scrolled down his phone messages looking for the ones he had missed from his sister Harry and Rachel's mum Jane.

He had 24 new messages from Harry and same from Jane, he opened the most recent one which was received today at 8.32am.

'Don't you answer anything? I've emailed u, txt u – Ray is coming today remember? Needs a place to stay cus of new job ASAP ME NOW!'

"You're checking your messages aren't you?"

"No…"

"You are such a bad liar…" John signed and got up from his seat going over to the desk and opening his laptop up – Rachel watched him and shook her head, she couldn't believe that he didn't know and no wonder her mum and aunt can't get hold of him all the time – he ignores them.

"Would you like a cup of tea, dear?" Mrs Hudson asked as she finished cleaning up the cup and cold tea from the floor and smiled to her.

"Yes that would be lovely, Mrs Hudson? Is it?" She half smiled as the woman nodded and went to the kitchen.

"So, Dr Watson is your uncle! I didn't know he had any close family!" She called from the kitchen, at that moment Rachel looked back over to John who was looking at her after checking his email messages – there was more messages on there since last week explaining the situation: Rachel's work was being shut down and she was being relocated to London and needed a place and they thought of John.

"Yes – my brother, Mrs H." John said out of the blue and then looking to the floor sighing, Rachel did the same. Mrs Hudson reappeared and saw the look on their faces…

"Oh… Is your brother?"

"Died 5 years ago…."

"I'm so sorry…" Mrs Hudson gave a blue cup to Rachel who took it and put it down on the small table next to the armchair.

"Look…Rachel…" John broke the silence, he wiped his brow and took a deep breath and stared her right in the face.

"You can't stay here… there is just no room"

"I start my job tomorrow and you are telling me I can't stay? You are going to throw your niece right out onto the street already…?" Rachel argued back, and stood up going towards the door to the stairs.

"I can't afford a place in London, let alone a hotel!"

"Do you have any friends you can stay with?"

"JOHN WATSON!"

Rachel and John suddenly jumped unexpectedly as Mrs Hudson stood up and scowled at him.

"You can't throw family out! Family is all we had these days! She is staying and that is the end of that!" Mrs Hudson declared throwing her arms in the arm and walking over to Rachel pulling the young girl into her side for a hug.

"But…"

"NO BUTS! She can have the spare room next to yours upstairs…" Mrs Hudson nodded and then made her way down the stairs leaving them alone in the room.

"Let me show you to your room then…"

Rachel smiled in relief and threw her arms around John's neck and hugged him hard out of the blue.

"Thank you" She whispered and let go giving him a final smile. He went in front and show her to the staircase which led upstairs.

There were two rooms next to each other and John opened the left one to a large room, the walls were painted plain white and there was a double bed in the middle of the room with a small warobe.

"It's not much…" John coughed and show her inside; Rachel placed her suitcase down on the bed and made her way to the window to see a small patio at the back of the property.

"It's fine" Rachel looked over to him again and smiled, he half smiled back.

"Um, I need to go out for a bit – I'll be back soon" John coughed and made his way out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Home sweet home…" She sighed and unzipping her suitcase.

Kate

Kate dusted off her black shirt as she finished brushing off the 17th century vase she had been working on for the last few weeks, she had glued it back together from tiny pieces and now she was about to glaze it.

"Kate!"

Her blonde head looked up and gave her boss a smile; she jumped from her seat and made her way over to Amelia.

"Yes?" Her American accent replied, giving her a friendly smile back.

"Could you go help Soo Lin with the tea demonstration?" Amelia asked her and Kate nodded back and walked out of the small room – the back rooms of the British museum were very quiet today but the museum was busy with many tourists.

Kate loved working for the museum, it had always been her dream to put objects back together ever since she was a child, jigsaw puzzles were her favourite so she studied hard at high school, college and got her degrees and found her perfect job and it was in England, the place she always wanted to live. She had lived her for more than 4 years and during that, she had met her best friend Rachel – they met through the museum and Rachel's job and they got on instantly.

Finally Kate found the room, there was a small gathering of people around a table – she spotted Soo Lin admiring the clay tea pots in front of her.

"The great artisans say – the more the tea pot is used, the more beautiful is becomes, The pot is seasoned by repeatedly pouring tea over the surface" She smiled to the crowd, pouring the warm liquid over the pot carefully and with grace and then she wiped the pot clean making it gleam.

"The deposit left on the clay creates this beautiful patina, over time some pots the clay has been burnished by tea made over four hundred years ago."

The crowd smiled and watched as Soo Lin handed a small cup to a boy who nervously took it and took a sip.

"You drink from the pot that served Tan Lun himself. Great general of the Ming Dynasty" The boy giggled and soon the display was over and Kate made her way over.

"It seems you started without me…" Kate lightly touched the tea pot with her fingertips.

"And four hundred years? And they are letting you use it to make yourself a cup of tea" Kate laughed, so did Soo Lin.

"These pots need attention. The clay is cracking."

Kate stood next to Soo Lin and watched her slowly clean the teapot and put them away.

"I can't see how a tiny splash of tea is going to help" Kate said out loud.

"Sometimes you have to look hard at something – to see its value and see this one shines a little brighter" She held the tea pot up to the light and Kate saw how it shone, sparking in the light.

"You know, we should go out sometime… you have been here for a few months, maybe go out for drinks? Tonight? My friend just moved to London and she would love to come" Kate asked her, she knew Soo Lin always kept to herself.

"I don't know… you wouldn't like me that much." Soo Lin shyly replied, avoiding Kate's eye contact.

"Let us decide that, I bet you are tons of fun!"

"I… just… I can't" Soo Lin shook her head, walking pasted Kate and leaving the room. Kate sighed and frowned after the girl. To Kate, it sounded like she was hiding something but she shook her head from those thoughts, she looked down and saw there was a tea pot lid on the counter still that Soo Lin has missed.

"Damn!"

She picked it up carefully and made her way from the room following the tracks of Soo Lin, her footsteps echoed throughout the museum hallway and she reached the top of the stairs, the place was empty now and near closing – the lights were slowly going out as she walked down the steps heading towards the basement.

The storage room was dark with a few lights on, Kate looked around still holding the tea pot lid and then she saw it.

Right in the middle of the centre of the room was a roman male statue but something was different about it – she stepped closely and looked confused at it…

"What the…."

The statue was vandalised with yellow spray paint – Kate looked it up and down at the weird scribbles wondering what they were and then she noticed something more important.

Soo Lin was missing.
