Heeelllllloooooooo.

This is a shorter chapter, but there's also some light-heartedness in here too. That should make more enjoyable.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock Holmes. If I did, there would be a third, full-length season already. But I digrese.

They arrived back at Baker Street to find Kailey sitting in front of the coffee table doing her homework. She looked up as they walked in.

"Hey."

"Hey." John greeted. "How was school?"

"Good."

"What are you doing?"

"My homework."

"Oh." John looked over her shoulder. "Good work then." He patted it.

"Kailey," Sherlock had taken off his coat, gloves, and scarf, and had sat himself at the edge of his chair. His fingertips were touching between the knees. "What do you know about Mr. O'Connor?"

"He's dead?"

"Besides that."

Kailey waved her pencil in the air in thought. "Not much."

"Was the show ever on at the foster care home?"

"I don't think so."

Sherlock paused. "Did your father do anything with him?"

Kailey seemed shocked at the question. "I don't think so. . ."

Sherlock glowered at her.

"But I can check! Dad had a friend he worked with who still lives in California. I can shoot him an e-mail."

"Great." He rubbed his hands together and stood up. "How 'bout some dinner?"

"I already ate." Kailey said. "There's not much in the fridge."

"I thought there was leftover pasta salad, or something."

"No, there was something else in the container. It looked like intreials or something from an animal."

John looked over at Sherlock, who was in the kitchen getting mugs down from the cupboard. John sighed. "Sherlock. . ."

"Want some coffee John?"

John felt warn out. "Sure." He walked into the kitchen. "You're making dinner."

Sherlock made scrambled eggs and they were actually quite good. Kailey finished her homework, showered, e-mailed her dad's friend, and settled in to watch the news. John blogged and Sherlock cleaned his violin.

It was a quite night on Baker Street. They all went to bed an hour later.

Except Sherlock. He never slept when he was on a case.

Did you enjoy it? I hope you did. Tell me and review!
