I'llAlwaysBeInEdwardsColdArms: OK, I was just wondering. I'll try to update soon.

zare. downey. okumura: thanks for the fave and alert.

Wampire girl: thanks for the fave and alert.

QueenNaberrie: I was planning to have them see a crime scene actually but I'm not sure how much Lyra would know about crime since she's not a detective. Still it being Anderson he might have overlooked something really obvious. I think you should still write that story when you get the chance. Thanks for the faves and alerts.

KlausIsMySoulMate: thanks for the alert. Oh, I didn't realize you had changed usernames. I like your new one.

sherotterlocked: I'm glad you love it. :) Thanks for the fave and alert.


"So do you deduce your clients?" John asked Lyra as they walked though London.

"Yeah, it really helps," Lyra replied. "Although I don't always tell them what I notice, it puts people on edge. There's so much you can tell from body language. It helps with figuring out which personality my multiple personality patients are using."

"Sounds dangerous to get to treat those people."

Lyra didn't seem to have heard him, her attention already captivated by something else.

"I wonder what they're looking at," Lyra said. She then grabbed John's sleeve and pulled him along like a kid dragging their parents somewhere. "Come on." John didn't know what he had expected to see but Lestrade and Anderson standing over the body of a man who got beat to death wasn't it.

"I think there was one attacker who-" Anderson began to tell Lestrade.

"Two attackers," Lyra corrected. "The bruising indicates that he got attacked from behind and at front but the bruising at the front is higher up and obviously from a more blunt weapon. Possibly the one who attacked him from the back was shorter than whoever attacked him from the front. There's what might be blood under the fingernails so he fought back before dying."

"Sherlock?" Anderson asked. He looked more ragged than when John last saw him and he was starting to grow a beard.

"Brilliant deduction," Lyra said sarcastically, reminding John more than ever of Sherlock at that moment. "But I'm too shorter than Sherlock and a woman. I'm his sister actually, Lyra Holmes." She held out her hand and then redrew it after a few moments because Anderson was too busy gaping at her to shake it.

"Bloody hell, there's a third Holmes," Lestrade said. "Just what I needed."

"Lestrade I'm guessing. I've heard of you."

"From Sherlock?"

"No from the newspapers. The D.I. who gave my brother so many of his cases. It's nice to finally meet you."

"I saw you at the funeral," Anderson said, he had gaped for so long that John had started to worry that the man's mind had broken. "I'm really sorry, but I'm sure Sherlock has his reasons for faking his death. I bet he'll come back any day now."

"Oh, she's been though enough without having to go though your crazy conspiracy theories," Lestrade said.

"My theories are not crazy!" Anderson exclaimed. "I believe in Sherlock Holmes!" John sighed, he felt like he had walked into some strange alternative universe.

"I'm here too, not that anyone seems to care," John pointed out.

"Well if anyone can fake jumping off a building I guess it would have to be Sherlock," Lyra said.

"You thought I was being crazy," Anderson said to Lestrade. "But Sherlock's sister agrees with me and have you ever met an illogical member of Sherlock's family?"

"The freak has a sister?" a voice called out and everyone simultaneously turned around to face Sally.

"He's not a freak," Lyra said. "Your just upset that he was better at your job then you are!"

"How did you two even get past the perimeter?" Lestrade demanded.

"We just walked past," Lyra answered. "Your squad is extremely disorganized."

"So Sherlock has a sister that's also a detective?" someone asked.

"No, I'm therapist," Lyra said.

"Get back to guarding the perimeter!" Lestrade snapped at him. Then he turned to Lyra. "No offence meant but can you leave? Your distracting everyone. Nice to see you again by the way John." Then Lyra and John left but not before Lyra gave Anderson her card.

"You gave Anderson your number?" John asked as Lyra and him walked away.

"I'm interested in hearing his theories. Professional curiosity."


I think this chapter needs more details, I might come back and add to it later.
