Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson or Sam Wiggins. I own Lauren Moran and Wilson though.

The page boy of Sherlock Holmes arrived. He said that Holmes, or the Master, as the Baker Street Irregulars called him, needed them for a job. Lauren felt excited, as this was her first job. "Just wait outside while Wiggins go to the Master." Wilson told her. Wiggins went into the flat while the other boys waited outside.

Wiggins came out a few minutes later. "Mr. Holmes wants us to find the boat Aurora and a guy called Mordecai Smith. Wilson, you, Billy, John and Albert go and search the river upwards while the rest will search the river downwards." Wiggins told them and handed a shilling to them each.

I know where the Aurora is. It's at Jacobson's Yard. This must be the Sign of Four! But he said upwards. Well, I think that I would not tell. I might change the history. I will tell it tomorrow then. Lauren thought, as she followed Wilson.

The day proved fruitless, as Lauren imagined. The boys were about to go back when Lauren stopped Wiggins. "Wait first; do you think we can check the yards along the river? I want to check a theory of mine." Lauren asked Wiggins. He nodded and the two of them went to the yards. They drew blank at fifteen, but when they checked Jacobson's Yard, they found the Aurora. "I tell the Master about the Aurora. Billy, you go back with the boys." He told her and set off for Baker Street. Lauren walked back to the hideout.

"Here's the guinea. You keep it; it was earned by you anyway. By the way, you should have seen the Master. He was practically jumping when I last saw him. That doctor sure is a heavy sleeper though." Wiggins told her and gave her the guinea. My first guinea! Cool! Lauren thought. She kept the guinea in the coin box she kept. It was actually quite nice to help the Master, for she could earn legitimate money this way.

"Boys, look at the headlines. Norwood mystery solved! I think that it was a stroke of genius, Billy. Who would have guessed that Mr. Small would have kept the boat in a yard and try to change her?" Wiggins told the Irregulars. Lauren blushed and bowed. She was not used to having praise. The Irregulars cheered her and she rewarded them with the potatoes she had bought with the guinea. London was her home now.

"Wiggins, would you mind if I could see the Master the next time?" Lauren asked. Wiggins nodded and they went out of the hideout. Lauren would never thought that she would meet Holmes so soon. It came about in this way.


Alice: Is Wilson hot?

Me: He's Daniel Radcliffe hot!

Alice: (Sees Wilson walking by) He's so cute! Why didn't you pair me up with him?!

Wilson: Because I didn't want you. :P
