The day had finally come to an end when 6pm come around and Caitlin was already on her way up to 221b, climbing those stairs was horrible but at least it would keep her legs toned! She arrived at the door and brought her hand up to knock the door but before her hand connected with the door a voice interrupted.

''Don't knock, just come in'' the deep voice ordered. Caitlin raised her eyebrow and walked in a little baffled, ''I could of been anyone, how did you know it was me?'' she questioned, getting slightly irritated when she saw Sherlock roll his eyes in response to her question. ''You have heavy footsteps, probably heavier than John's but then again, that's not hard he is only small'' he groaned as if it was the most obvious thing in the world which received a grin from Caitlin as she heard John muttering to himself about how much of a arrogant dick Sherlock is in his room.

Caitlin sat on the sofa watching as Sherlock and John both placed themselves in their usual chairs.''What is the case then? I haven't got all night, Sherlock'' Caitlin pushed, she may of only been in London a day or two but now she was settled she was eager to start work on her first case. Sherlock flashed a quick look over to John who was watching him just as curious as Caitlin, he rolled his eyes ''have you heard of a little thing called patience?'' he moaned, Sherlock did not take kindly to being gritted her teeth ''actually,no, i haven't just like my short temper i am very short in patience, so hurry'' she spat, locking her eyes with his, daring him to say one more thing to piss her off. ''The case isn't anything special, just a murder that happened in early hours of this morning'' Sherlock sat back in his chair, dismissing the glare she was giving him. ''Really? that's it? there isn't anything more challenging? this is a case I'd expect John to do!'' she cried in frustration, running her hands through her hair, ''hey! I may not be as bright as you two but I'm perfectly capable to do a difficult case!'' John huffed, crossing his arms which just received a grin from Sherlock's direction.

Caitlin sighed ''alright, i suppose it's a starting case, where is the body?'' she sat up on the sofa. Sherlock placed his hands together ''excellent and it's already at the morgue, we better get going if we want an early start!'' Sherlock jumped up, grabbed his coat and was headed for the stairs before either Caitlin or John could process it.

After a short, cramped cab ride the trio arrived at the morgue, Sherlock was bounding up the stairs with the other two not too far behind. Sherlock bounded through the doors into the cold room ''MOLLY YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED'' Sherlock called waltzing up to the nearest table, not too long after a very tired John and Caitlin trail through the door, gasping for breath. ''Damn, couldn't you for once not run off?'' Caitlin gasped between each breath, ''yeah, it's amazing, how much stamina you actually have'' John huffed, sitting on the nearest stool, Caitlin grinned ''yeah, I wish I had that much stamina, i could ride for hours'', Sherlock shot a glance in her direction rolling his eyes in response to John laughing, ''Not like that, get your mind out the gutter, John!'' Caitlin laughed. ''Ride?'' Caitlin was snapped back to normality when the small voice interrupted their laughter, Caitlin turned around to see a woman not much smaller than herself staring at her, looking a little baffled.

''Oh er, not like that'' Caitlin giggled stepping back to Sherlock's side, a little startled that this woman appeared out of no where, John stifled a laugh ''I didn't hear Sherlock complaining'' he smirked. Sherlock rolled his eyes once more ''John now is not the time to discuss how long my stamina would last, is it?'' he stood up, placing his hand on Caitlin's shoulder, which received a strange look from Molly, ''Caitlin, this is Molly Hooper, Molly this is Caitlin O'Neill'' Sherlock introduced them both then sat back down, slowly sliding his hand of her shoulder.

Caitlin was shocked by his soft touch, and the fact he actually touched her, she looked back up to the small woman who was still staring at her ''Nice to meet you'' she smiled. ''Now is not the time for introductions, I need to see that body!'' Sherlock demanded, verging on sounding a little whiny, which just received a grumble from John about being childish and impatient.

After a few minutes of examining the body Sherlock looked up to Caitlin who was still eyeing the body closely, he smirked ''care to deduce first?'' he walked around and whispered to her, which not only received a open mouth from John, but Molly as well, Caitlin looked up to see him towering over her with a genuine looks on his face. ''Uh, ok'' she stood tall trying to get a better view ''by the looks of things, cause of death was by knife, one clean cut to the neck, who ever did this knew what they were doing and by the size of the blade it looks like a butchers knife, so a butcher or someone who has access to them'' she finished by swiping her hands together. ''Very good, but you missed some details'' he smirked, clearly loving it that he gets to correct her. Caitlin raised an eyebrow ''care to elaborate?'' Sherlock stepped behind her leaning over with her to examine the body closer, not realising how close either of them were, he extended his finger to her arm '' first one is a small needle wound, too big to be drugs, and by the coloration it's horse tranquilliser, and she has some odd bruises formed on her lower wrist, although I've not the foggiest idea how they got there'' Sherlock exclaimed, getting frustrated that he couldn't work the last injury out.

While they were deducing they were ignorant to the looks they were receiving, John and Molly just stared on, not ever seeing Sherlock so close to someone, well, that was living that is. John slipped his phone out of his pocket and snapped a quick picture, Molly turned to him ''what are you doing?'' curiosity taking over, even though it pained her, ''taking a picture, Lestrade needs to see this, also good for the blog'' John what seemed like hours of inspecting the body the trio headed back to Bakers street to discuss their findings.
