4. The Meeting

On one of his assignments, Sherman is investigating a robbery that took place in 221B Baker Street. He goes into the building and meets. A girl is standing at one of the doorways.

"Hello officer. My name is Annabelle Hudson. What's your name?"

Sherman tips his hat to her and responds, "My name is Sherman Holmes."

Annabelle is shocked and says, "You mean you're-,"

Sherman nods his head and keeps on walking. He hears a gunshot and runs into the room where he heard it. He sees an old man sitting in a chair holding a gun and shooting against the wall.

"Um excuse me but you are causing a disturbance. I'm trying to investigate a robbery and you're shooting is very distracting."

The man responds, "I lied about the robbery. I was just hoping it would bring you to me."

Sherman is confused and ask, "Wait! Why do you want me?"

"So I can see your face and finally meet you."

"Who are you?"

"I thought you were supposed to be very smart. I'm your father."

Sherman is shocked and says, "Wait you're Sherlock Holmes."

Sherlock nods his head. Suddenly a feeling of anger comes through Sherman.

He yells at Sherlock asking, "WHERE THE BLOODY HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE?! I'VE BEEN WONDERING WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN OR IF YOU EVEN CARED ABOUT ME! EVIDENTLY YOU DID NOT!"

Tears flow through Sherlock's eyes like raindrops and he responds, "I never wanted to leave your sight but in order to protect you from my enemies I had to give you away. I don't expect you to forgive me. I just hope you understand what I did."

Sherman still angry responds, "John told me that you were rude to people and didn't really care about anyone. Well I can see now what he meant. I thought you were dead but instead you have been in here all this time not wanting to see your own son. You weren't at my graduations or any other part of my life."

"You don't understand. I have been watching you from afar and I'm proud of the man you have become. You have become your own man."

Sherman responds, "Well you could have at least stop by every now and then and say hello. You didn't have to block me entirely from your life."

Sherlock reveals a board with newspaper clippings and pictures of Sherman.

"I never did. I gave John notes to train you into becoming not just a better detective than me but also a better man."

Sherman is stunned and responds, "I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just a lot to take in."

"I know it's a lot to process and I'll answer your questions the best way possible."
