Sorry for not updating sooner, I've had terrible writers block. Enjoy chapter 3 :) and thanks for your reviews! I love hearing your thoughts.
It had been two days since Sherlock and Molly had kissed and two days since Sherlock and Lucy had talked. Sherlock had honestly never felt so lonely, his best friend had moved out and was getting married. He had Molly now but he still needed a friend. Someone to keep him from going insane. Someone to keep him wondering. Someone like Lucy. She was, interesting and defiantly had guts if she was willing to run away from home and not come back. He promised he would look after her and he was going to keep his word.
"Lucy?" He asks softly as he knocks on her door.
Lucy lays in her bed with earbuds in her ears, listening to music to get her mind off things. She didn't want to think about her little crush on Sherlock. He was older than her and had feelings for someone else, it would never work. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized the type of relationship she wanted with the detective.
"Lucy, are you in there?" His voice begins to raise with worry as he knocks on her door harder.
She slowly took her earbuds out and heard someone at the door. The person was knocking louder and louder calling her name. She couldn't make out who's voice it was at first. Until she opened he door.
"What is it Sherlock?" She asks in a cranky voice.
"I just wanted to make sure you're okay. We hadn't talked since you walked in on me and Molly..." He got cought off.
"It's fine...I just got a bit embarrassed that's all..." She hesitated at first.
Sherlock nodded slowly.
"So, I hear you're a detective." She smirks
"Yes, what of it?" He asks slowly.
Lucy bites her lip. "Well, I do love a good mystery. Are you currently working on a case?"
"I might be...why?" He smiles a bit.
"Could I come with you, er, help you." She smiles largely.
"It could be dangerous." He smirks.
"That's what I'm hoping for." She smiles softly.
Lucy follows Sherlock back to his flat and look over what Sherlock had found already.
"Jeffrey Millington claims he saw a man in a black suit stabed a woman in an ally then dump her body in the trash. Her body was never found. Another man, David Brooks, claims he saw the exact same thing happen behind restaurant." Sherlock explains.
"Maybe the killer had help?" Lucy suggests.
"No, no, no. They described the same man." He begins to pace.
"It could be a lie." She shruggs.
"A lie, what?" He looks confused.
"Ya know, Millington kills the girl and has Brooks hide the body. Both come up with a story to hide the truth. I dunno, sounds kind of far fetched..." Sherlock cuts her off.
"That's brilliant! Why didn't I see that before!" Sherlock yells with excitement and kisses Lucy's head. "You, Lucy Coleman, are brilliant."
Lucy blushes and smiles. Did Sherlock Holmes just call me brilliant!? She thought.
