Social Media
John still remembered the way he met with Sherlock Holmes. They were 15 and John had just made his first facebook account, officially entering the social media world. There he stumbled on 15 year old Sherlock Holmes' page. John was surprised when he saw that someone his own age could so easily deduce the crimes newspapers reported before the police and was enraged when he noticed that they would not listen to him when he gave them new clues every day.
John from that day on followed the young detective obsessively and was really entertained by his comments about the incompetence of the police and the way his deductive abilities solved those cases.
John didn't think he would ever meet him however one day his sister went missing and the police were unable to find anything penetrating to her disappearance, so John, in an act of desperation asked for help from the one person he knew would not disappoint him.
He didn't get a reply for five hours and the only thing he received was 'I'm coming." The next morning, Sherlock Holmes appeared in his doorstep and the next 10 hours were a blur. What the police couldn't find despite spending days searching, a person his own age managed to within 10 hours.
His sister had been kidnapped by the mafia of the neighbourhood who thought she had seen them killing a woman. After they had managed to save her, John approached Sherlock determinedly. "Thank you for saving my sister. Would you be willing in taking me along your cases? I might not be the detective you are, but I have more muscle."
Sherlock had looked at him and then turned away. "Be at London in three days."
Now, after five years of partnership, John couldn't be happier that he met Sherlock Holmes, the guy who had become his best friend and later, his lover. And social media and a kidnapping were what led to them meeting.
