Chapter 2 – Sherlock's New Case
AN: I forgot to mention this in the last chapter, but I only own the rights to Vicky the social worker and Rose Thompson. All of the characters from Sherlock are property of BBC.
After I get my luggage, I went outside where the taxis were, and I managed to flag one down. I carry my suitcase and carry on, put them in the trunk of the taxi, and take my purse with me inside the cab.
"Where to Miss?" The taxi driver asked me.
"221B Baker Street." As soon as I shut the door, after I gave him Sherlock's address, we were off.
30 Minutes later ...
"Here we are Miss … 221B Baker Street." The taxi driver states, then he asks me, "Will you be needing help with your bags?"
"Yes, that would be lovely, thank you." I reply, and he gets my luggage out of the trunk.
"There you go Miss … Welcome to London."
"Thank you." I reply, and hand him the total I owe him, plus a 10₤ tip, and he thanked me, and drove off.
Finally … I was here … I grab my luggage, and I go up and knock on the door.
I vaguely hear someone say, "Coming!"
A few seconds later, a kind looking older woman answers the door.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Hudson. What's your name dear?"
"I'm Rose Thompson, but most people just call me Rose." I reply … My arms are getting heavy from holding my suitcase, my carry-on, and my purse.
"It's nice to meet you Rose …" She sees my arms drooping under the weight of all the things I'm carrying, and then quickly adds … "Here, let me help you inside."
"Ok …" I reply, and she takes my carry-on from me and invites me in.
I go in, and she closes the door.
"So, I'm assuming you're here to see Sherlock?" She asked, wanting to make sure she was correct.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am."
"So what brings you here, exactly, to see Sherlock? If you don't mind my asking …" She asks, adding the last part in the hopes I won't get offended at her prying into my exact reason for needing to see Sherlock.
"No, not at all … You see, I've got a case for him …" I tell her.
"Ok, and again, if you don't mind my asking, what is your case exactly? I'm just curious is all dear." She replies sweetly.
"Of course not, I don't mind … Well, you see, I was kidnapped at birth and placed in the foster system in America and I just recently got out of it. I've been searching for my birth parents, because I would like to meet them, and stay with them now. My hope, is that Sherlock is able to help me find them …" I trail off … Hoping she can see how badly I want to find them.
