'When was the last time that you saw her?' Sherlock asked Andy, one of Soo Ling's workmates
'Three days ago, here at the museum, this morning they told me she had resigned just like that, left her work unfinished' Andy told John as Sherlock and I looked around the museum
'What was the last thing she did on her final afternoon?' Sherlock asked and Andy took us to another room
'She does this demonstration for the tourists, a tea ceremony, so she would have packed up her things and just put them in here' Andy explained as he opened the door in another room. I looked around the room with interest as John and Sherlock started to head into the room
'Sherlock!' I shouted as they came out in a hurry, on one of the statues was the same yellow painted symbols. We quickly left the museum
'We have to get to Soo Ling Yao' Sherlock stated as they walked down the steps of the museum
'If she is still alive' John commented
'Sherlock' Raz called out and I rolled my eyes
'Oh, look who it is' John commented I gave him a small smile, my thoughts exactly
'Found something you'll like' He said after looking over at me and smiling.
And so we took off after Raz, we walked for a while until we came to a underground hideout of sorts, there were kids skating around and the place was covered in graffiti
'You want to hide a tree, then a forest is the best place to do it, wouldn't you say?' Sherlock asked
'People would just walk straight past, not knowing, unable to decipher the message' He continued
'There, I spotted it earlier' Raz explained as he pointed to some yellow paint on the wall
'They've been here, and that's the exact same paint?' Sherlock asked stressing the point that it had to be the same paint
'Yeah' Raz answered certainly
'John, Tage, if we're going to decipher this code, we need to look for more evidence' Sherlock explained and I took off by myself, in search.
I walked down some train lines and over to an abandoned train with my flash light. I walked for about 10 minutes before I found it. I smiled to myself before taking a photo of it with my phone and trying to call Sherlock and John, of course none of them picked up so I took off to find them
'I found it' I said to Sherlock and John who were looking elsewhere
'Why didn't you call' John asked confused
'I did' I muttered harshly before taking Sherlock by the hand and dragging him to the spot, when I flashed my light on the train though it was gone. I put my hand on the spot it had been and found it was wet paint
'Someone doesn't want us to see it' Sherlock whispered and then suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder, I stiffened but he didn't notice
'Do you remember what you saw?' Sherlock asked
'Take your hands off me, please' I whispered slightly scared and he was shocked at my tone but did so and then looked confused and upset at me
'I took photos of it Sherlock, have some faith' I said with a small smile and showed him my phone.
'Can you tell what numbers these are?' Sherlock asked and I nodded
'Let's get them printed off though and back to the flat' I suggested and he nodded
'John, take the phone and get them printed, we will meet you back at the flat' Sherlock said throwing him the phone and then lightly grabbing my hand and started walking in the direction of a main street so we could get a taxi.
'What's going on Tage?' Sherlock asked softly once we were in the taxi
'I don't know what you're talking about Sherlock' I said firmly and Sherlock laughed softly
'You never could lie to me Tage, you could hide things from me but you could never outright lie to me' He muttered and I smiled softly
'Yeah I know' I muttered back and we were both silent on the matter until the taxi driver stopped.
Sherlock paid the man and we went into our flat and waiting on the lounge for John to get back.
'I am worried about you Tage' Sherlock said finally breaking the silence and I sighed and grabbed his hand
'Don't be, I am fine now' I whispered and kissed his cheek before walking up to my room.
