I could always tell when the two of them are coming home. Their bickering rises long before their footsteps, and then comes Sherlock's brisk tread and Ana's soft rapid thumping. The door will open to reveal one of them amused, the other irritated.

"What a trying day!" Holmes announced. "Put the knife back, Ana," he said automatically. She obeyed.

I thought I heard another rapid pair of feet on the stairs. "Goodness!" I said. "If I'm not mistaken, here is another client."

And I was right - the door was opened by a young man, clearly in a state of considerable distress. "Oh Mr. Holmes!" he cried, then paused, unnerved by the three pairs of eyes.

Holmes cleared his throat. "Please, allow my to introduce my colleague Dr. Watson and..." Holmes paused.

"...and my daughter, Ana."








THE END.

*A note from the Author:
Hey, thanks for reading my story. It has been written very quickly over the course of a week, and I am hoping to update/make changes soon. I'm very interested in your imput. Is Ana a character to continue with? Do I need more detail in her character? (I'm thinking yes) And does the idea of Holmes as adoptive father bother you?

I'm hoping to write more of "The Hidden Adventures" and eventually put them all under one title. Be sure to check out my latest Ana adventure: The Unlikely Criminal. It's still in the works but it promises to be good!

Thanks again for reading! Please review!

Yours,
Someday Sara
