Sherman Holmes grew up under the care of John and Mary Watson who raised him like he was their own son. John taught Sherman everything that he learned from Sherlock and told him about the many adventures that he and Sherlock had.

One day, Sherman is sitting in his room when John walks in.

"Mind if I come in?" John asks

"No, not at all."

John sits on Sherman's bed.

"There's something that I think you should know about your father. He had a certain way with people. He could be very rude at times. Also he didn't really think that life had a lot to offer so he was a bit of a recluse."

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"What I'm trying to say is to enjoy life and surround yourself with people who love you and protect them. I'm proud of the person that you have become."

Sherman hugs John and Mary looks on.

Sherman goes to high school and demonstrates a very intelligent mind similar to his father. He graduates after one year and attends Cambridge University where he graduates at age 18.

"He is just like his father," John tells Mary.

"Aren't you happy about that?" Mary asks.

"I'm both happy and concerned about that."

Sherman decides to join Scotland Yard and becomes their top police officer.
