Over two hours had gone by since the detectives arrived at Jessica's apartment, offering their help. This surprised her a good deal, because before she hadn't known where to turn. And Inspector Beth Lestrade had figured out on her own that she needed help; she felt lucky to have her as friend. She smiled contentedly and leaned back into her chair, causing a yawn to escape from her.

Uh oh, looks like someone's getting tired!" Beth said in a singsong voice. Holmes sighed and rolled his eyes at his CO.

"As if I could sleep with that guy coming around!" Jess shot back while teasingly sticking her tongue out at her friend. Holmes just chuckled softly.

"Lestrade, I think we should take our leave, and allow Miss Jess to get her rest." Beth looked over at her friend and realized Holmes was right - surprise, surprise - Jessica was looking very tired. She nodded as if making up her mind and stood abruptly.

"Okay Jess, I'll come by on my way to the Yard to see if Fenwick's at his perch. But I still think you should lodge a formal complaint." The girl reluctantly agreed. She was practically nodding off as she showed them out the door and thanked them for their kindness.
