Chapter 1 – Arriving in London
AN: I only own the rights to Rose Thompson. I don't own Sherlock or any of its characters. They are the property of BBC.
- Yawns - Man, that was a long flight from Boston to London. I'm glad I'm here though. You see, I just got out of the system, and I'm so happy.
Now, I have to find my birth parents. Vicky, my social worker for the last 5 years, has told me that their names are John and Mary Watson.
I'm trying to find where baggage claim is so I can retrieve my luggage, when I feel my phone vibrating.
Buzz, buzz … Buzz, buzz … Buzz, buzz
I check my phone to see who is calling me, and I see that Vicky is the one calling me, so I answer.
"Hello?"
"Hi Rose, it's me, Vicky …"
"Hi Vicky, what's going on?"
"Oh, nothing really … How was your flight to London?" She asked, as any good friend would.
"Good … It was a long one, that's for sure, but I made it here ok …"
"Ok … That's good … Now, I've spoken with Detective Inspector Lestrade … He's worked with your parents and their good friend Sherlock Holmes before."
"Ok … What did he say?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Well, he gave me Sherlock's address … Do you have a pen and paper near you?" She asks me.
I rummage through my purse, until I find a working pen, and my notepad that I always keep in there.
"Yes …" I say in reply, my pen now in my hand, waiting to write it down on my notepad.
"Ok … It's 221B Baker Street."
I write it down. "Ok … What else do I need to know?"
"The land lady, her name is Mrs. Hudson … She'll be answering the door …"
"Ok …" I trail off as I make a note of the land lady's name, and she continues.
"He also said to tell Mrs. Hudson that you're there to see Sherlock for a case … to find your parents …"
"Ok … Then what?" I ask her, unsure of the step after telling Mrs. Hudson about why I wanted to see Sherlock.
"Well, after you tell her why you want to see Sherlock, she'll take you up to Sherlock's flat, and you go from there."
"Ok … Thanks Vicky, for everything." I reply, grateful for how much she's helped me so far in my search for my birth parents.
"You're welcome … Good luck Rose, and be sure to keep in touch … Bye Rose."
"Thanks Vicky … Will do … Bye." And I hang up.
I finally spot the baggage claim, and just in time too, because my luggage appears as soon as I do.
I go and get my luggage from the baggage claim. Now, I have to go get a taxi and head to Sherlock's.
AN: Please R&R … I plan on making this multi-chaptered, but that depends on the Reviews I get. Thanks in advance y'all!
