I slowly opened my eyes.

The sun is just starting to rise.

Light shades of yellow across the blue London sky.

I looked at Sherlock, sleeping with his back leaning against the table.

My head on his lap and his arm resting just below my neck.

I must have dozed off last night.

I moved his arm and sat straight.

I smiled as I saw Sherlock's coat on me.

I stood up and placed the coat on Sherlock.

He looked so calm I didn't bother to wake him up.

I took my bag and bouquet and left.


Sherlock woke up.

On the table was toast, strawberries and a warm cup of black coffee with two sugars.

Right beside it is a note.

I'm off to work.

EAT your breakfast.

Sherlock smiled.


John came in to find Sherlock in the kitchen with his microscope.

"Ah! John, not on the sofa this time then." Sherlock said.

"I am not going to ask how you knew that." John answered back as he went over to his laptop.

"Someone has sent an email asking for your 'assistance'." John said looking up from his laptop.

"What's it about?" Sherlock asked.

"Bloomsbury. Sudden death. Apparently the victim was perfectly healthy. She just passed out and died." John continued.

"Not interesting enough." Sherlock scoffed.

Just then, Sherlock's phone rang.

"Be there in a moment."Sherlock answered through the phone.

"I suppose that was Lestrade with a case." John said.

"What are you waiting for, John?" Sherlock said, smiling widely.


"Any serial murders today?" Sherlock asked Lestrade.

"No, just a car accident. There's nothing faulty found with the car. The brake's perfectly fine. The CCTV footage shows that there was nothing in the way of the car." Lestrade said as he showed the video.

Lestrade led Sherlock and John to the crime scene.

"You have 2 minutes." Lestrade said, motioning for the two to the crime scene.

"John?" Sherlock said.

John looked closely at the body.

"He hit his head badly on the window but not bad enough to kill him though. His lips and nails look a bit bluish, don't you think Sherlock?" John said.

"These are usually symptoms for drug overdose." John continued.

"Thank you, John." Sherlock said as he looked around, examining every detail.

He went over to the victim. He searched the victim's pockets.

There, he found a medicine bottle. He opened it and took two capsules from it.

He scribbled notes on his black notebook and went to Lestrade.

"I need to have the victim's address." Sherlock told Lestrade.

"What have you got?" Lestrade asked as he passed a card to Sherlock.

"He did not die because of the car accident. There was a car accident because he died." Sherlock said, looking at the card in his hands.

"I'll look into this more." Sherlock continued.

"Come on, John." Sherlock said as he signalled for a cab.


"He was on his way home." the woman sobbed.

"Sherlock, I don't think this is the right time. Her husband just died." John whispered to Sherlock.

"Go get her a shock blanket then." Sherlock answered back.

"Where exactly he's coming home from?" Sherlock continued.

"Two weeks ago he got admitted at Gringham Hospital. Just today, doctors say he's good to go. I asked him if I could pick him up but he hesitated saying he was fine and now he just died."

Sherlock stood up and went out.

"I am so sorry for your loss, Madame." John said as he followed Sherlock.


Sherlock paced around the room while John wrote on his blog.

Sherlock stopped.

"John, grab your coat."

"Where are we going, Sherlock?"

"Bloomsbury."


"We were gathered 'round the telly one night, she just passed out, I thought she fell asleep but she's not breathing." the victim's mother said.

"Has she been taking medicine of any kind?" Sherlock asked.

"She's very health conscious, going to the gym now and then. Her boyfriend has been giving her vitamin though. I'm going to go get it." she answered and stood up.

"You think this is related to the man earlier?" John asked.

"Now John, It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence." Sherlock answered back.

"Here you go." the victim's mother said as she handed the medicine bottle.

"How long has she been taking these?" Sherlock asked.

"It's been a month when she died. Her doctor boyfriend from Gringham Hospital said it's good for her health."


I am coming over. Need to use lab. -SH

Sorry. I called in sick. I am not feeling well. -MOLLY


A/N:

Sorry it took so long to update.

It took me a lot of time to plan this second case.

Anyway, more action in the next chapter.
