Once missing, Now found.

W PoV

It had been a month since Miss Cassidy had vanished from her room. Holmes and myself had searched all of London for her. I released shortly after her disappearance that my suggestion of marriage might have been slightly ill times and heartless. It had taken 2 days for Holmes to start talking to me again, blaming her disappearance on me.

We had followed countless false leads, looking for a girl with strange colours in her hair, but everything led to a dead end. Until one afternoon.

Holmes and myself were just trying to work out if we had missed anything, when a package was delivered to us. It had come from one of the seedier clubs in the city, so we opened it with care, only to both back up in shock when the content was revealed. It was Cassidy's photo book. Inside was a note. It read:

Dear Mr Holmes and Doctor Watson.

I found this upon the person of one of my singers. It matched your description in last weeks Paper so I decided to send it to you immediately. The girl who had it was very reluctant to part with it but when I threatened her job she gave it up (can you believe she cried as she did Mr Holmes?)

Anyway my deepest regards

"Watson, this man is both stupid and blind. The only person who could have had this was none other then Cassidy herself. Not even here did she leave it in her room or unattended."

I looked at him doubtfully.

"but Holmes our descriptions of her were rather unique. Even this fool would be able to tell who she was."

Holmes seemed to think for a moment.

"true Watson but still I think tonight we should pay a visit to this club and see this singer"

So it was, that a 10:30pm we entered the small grimy pub and found a small table at the back of the room. We were about to start inquiring after the singer when a voice sounded form stage.

"gentlemen. If I might present our gorgeous singer for this evening. Miss Cassandra Sky."

Holmes immediately looked at the stage, while I continued my enquiries. It wasn't till she spoke did I look at her.

"I wish to dedicate this song to a young man who I am afraid never knew I loved him till it was to late to tell him."

As the familiar sounds of music flowed over us I looked up at our young friend.

She was a lot thinner then she was when we last saw her. But that wasn't the biggest change. Her hair was no longer flowing down her back but was cut quiet short. It was also a stunning shade of ginger. She was wearing a slightly tatty red dress, but to me it was the best sight I had seen in a long time. Knowing we couldn't approach her while she was onstage, I sat next to Holmes to listen to her voice I hadn't realised just how much I had missed in the last month.

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

And the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns

I see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you is fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

the crowd was silent for a few seconds before everyone in the room stood and cheered. Holmes grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the stage were Cassidy was descending towards a group of smelly, sweating, leering men.

"Miss Cassandra an amazing performance. I guess it was dedicated to young jet yes?"

Cassidy looked up at Holmes question and instantly paled and tried to turn away only to be stopped as I grabbed her elbow and firmly led her from the club while Holmes dealt with the crowd behind us.
