Melody got on her scooter and started riding down to the natural history museum where her friends were going today. She was pretty good at riding a scooter and has been for several years. She saw her two friends. One was a blonde girl and the other was a brown short haired boy.
"Hey Juliet. Hey Conner," Melody said getting off the scooter.
"Hey Melody," the two other teenagers said.
"You ready for today?," Conner asked her.
"Of course. This is my favorite museum," Melody said.
Meanwhile….
"Five minutes. I can't believe it only took five minutes for you to solve that case," John said.
"It was one of the easiest ones we've had in a while. I need something challenging," Sherlock said.
"Well if you want something challenging you could try getting closer to that cousin of yours," John suggested,"
"Melody? The teenager that just came in this morning?,"
"How is that challenging? You just sit down and talk,"
"Well for one thing, she's a teenager….,"
"And she's a young girl just dropped off at my doorstep without any note or warning. No reason at all. Doesn't that strike you as odd?,"
"A little but…. wait you don't think…. you're not actually suggesting she's a part of a trap?,"
"I'm not suggesting it at all. But I am suggesting there might be a bigger reason than just "mommy and daddy" are out of town for them to leave their teenage daughter with us. Something which I very much think is worse than my work,"
Sherlock turned towards the door and got up.
"Mrs. Hudson," he called out.
"Yes what is it?,"
"Do you know where that child was going,"
"Melody," John said.
"Whatever," Sherlock said.
"Yes, I do believe she said she was going to the natural history museum with her friends,"
"Good. Come on John. We're going to the museum," Sherlock said and the two left.
