A/N: I know not a lot of people have reviewed for chapter three, but I know Frankie really wants more, so I won't be mean and wait for more people to review, so here's another Watson POV!
Chapter Four: How Do You Feel?
Well, I decided that the best way to find out more about the young woman who talked to Holmes yesterday at Simpson's would be to ask Holmes more about her. So, that's exactly what I did.
"Holmes," I asked, as he was playing his violin.
"Yes, Watson," was his response, still playing.
"Do you remember that woman you talked to at Simpson's yesterday," I asked.
"Yes. What about her," he asked, still playing his violin.
"How do you feel about her," was my next question.
Holmes stopped playing, and said, "What do you mean, 'how do I feel about her?'"
"Well," I stated, "do you love her, or just think of her as a good friend?"
"Of course I don't love her. Watson, you know me better than that! As to whether or not I think of her as a good friend; it's just as I said back at the restaurant, we're just merely acquaintances, so we're less than good friends," Holmes replied matter of factly.
"Oh," was my response to that.
"How did you meet her," I asked again.
"Our mothers were friends," said Holmes simply.
"Really," I asked.
"Yes. Why do you want to know about my past with Miss Hunter so much," Holmes questioned.
"Well, I just thought she was interesting, and wanted to know more about her," I answered.
"Well, that's pretty much all I know offhand. Why don't you ask her yourself, or that other woman she was with," said Holmes.
"I think I will," I said, not knowing where Miss Melissa Hunter lived, or who her companion was, except that her Christian name was Vanessa.
"Do you know of any of Miss Hunter's friends named Vanessa," I inquired.
"I don't know any of her friends. Ask my brother," said Holmes from his spot on the settee.
"All right," I said, putting on my coat, and preparing to go to Pall Mall, to visit Mycroft Holmes at his flat.
After Mycroft let me into his flat, he said, "So, Dr. Watson, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
"I was wondering if you knew a Miss Melissa Hunter," I asked.
"A little, yes," answered Mycroft, "why?"
"Well, I was just wondering if you knew any of her friends by the name of Vanessa," I continued.
"I seem to recall a Vanessa St. Clair," replied Mycroft thoughtfully.
"What does she look like," I asked him.
"Last I seen her, she had long dark brown hair, and green eyes," he said, thinking about it for a few seconds.
"That's probably her then. Thank you, and good bye, Mycroft," I said, getting ready to leave.
"You're welcome, and good bye," answered Mycroft.
After leaving Mycroft Holmes's flat, I decided to look for the address of Miss Vanessa St. Clair.
Well, that's all for chapter four! If you want more, just r&r!
