Chapter 4:

Heading back upstairs, Watson saw Holmes there, talking to the Inspector Lestrade. He wondering of what they are talking about but then stopped himself as he knew it was rude if he over heard hem so he waited by a bench, that is inside the building and watched the Constable walking by and then.

In the end, Holmes came by his side, still smoking a pipe in his mouth, and watching him. "Ready?"

Watson looks up and nodded as he got up from the bench and started walking out of the Yard, along with Holmes, and out in to the busy streets.

Watson stops and turned towards Holmes. "One thing on my mind Holmes."

"That is how we are going to go and fine the places of where the lady hang around and her place as well." Holmes said.

Watson rolled his eyes but nodded. "Yeah. That."

"Come on." Holmes started walking once more.

Watson watched as couldn't believe that he's going basically with a blind plan. "Just go along with it Watson. Just go along with it." He told himself as he started walking after him.

Soon they were in the road of Regent Street of where the Lady was. It wasn't that pack, people here and there. Even some kids were around but mainly selling things for their families or just there or something else.

Watson looked around as he raised a eye brow as Holmes also looked around and in stops in the place of where he was and started thinking.

Of course Watson left him to it as he took a look around as he took a few steps forwards.

"The girl and the man was here just a few hours back…" Sherlock explains as he started looking around and thinking a lot. He only stood in one place. "They were talking about something but what though."

Holmes can see some flash backs but not clearly and wondered of what went on in this alleyway just a few hours ago.

"Maybe something about letting the dog out or something." Watson suggested but soon stops talking and moving all together as he felt a sharp pain in his leg. "Arghh."

He placed a hand on his leg.

Holmes turned his attention full on to him. "Are you all right?"

Watson gave him a nod but to be honest, he doesn't know what he's thinking. Normal or not, he can feel pain inside his leg.

"Do you need to rest?" Holmes asked as he thought that Watson didn't reply to his question.

"I am fine Holmes." Watson reply with a sharp in take breath.

Holmes carried on looking towards his friend and nodded slightly. "Don't sounds like it. Come on, there's a bench near by. Rest."

Watson looks towards his friend and nodded slightly. Giving up by the fussing and speaking.

Holmes walked by his side, helping him up and placing a arm around him.

Watson held on to him, cane in one hand, and started walking with him, using the cane for support.

"Thank you." Watson said as he smiles slightly as they were outside a pub, on a bench.

Holmes looked around, noticing that they were somewhere of where the lady last hang around.

"Watson. I believe that we are somewhere of where the lady was last seen. I am going to call her Ami-Lee for now, nice name…"

"Holmes."

"Sorry…Go slightly off track at times but anyway, we are just outside a place of where she goes now and then. Should go and check things out."

Watson nodded as he got himself slowly from the bench, turned and saw the pub in-front of him. He turned towards Holmes and sighed lightly. "Ami-Lee sure like to drink…"

"It wasn't her that like to drink. Her boyfriend sure did though." Sherlock explains.

Watson nodded to his explanations. He understands it completely as used to deal with relationships like that.

Without warning, Holmes got up and headed towards the door of the place and walked in.

Watson walked in after him and felt all eyes on him and Holmes. They were new after all around the place.

"Wha' brings you and posh bo' 'ere?" One of the lad who is at the bar and been watching them for a while.

Holmes turned towards him, smiles on his lips, looked towards the ceiling and thought for a moment before looking back towards the lad.

Watson got to admit that the lad does seem young and everything but why would he spend his time at a bar for?

"Looking for someone. Does anyone know someone who got brown hair with blonde bits in her hair, looked around her twenties. Come here and then?"

"Melissa Dale? Yeah I know her. She came in here a few hours ago with her boyfriend." The man behind the bar mentions it as he's cleaning up.

Watson started looking around as Holmes turned his attention towards the guy. For a moment or so, Holmes stood there before making his way towards the bar and leaning against it. "Please explain."

Watson turned towards his new companion and notice that he is stuck at this point and wants information. He sat down at a spare table and watched him like everyone else around the place.

The bar guy looks towards him as he frowned slightly but then also leans against the bar, on the other side and thought more for a moment or so.

Sherlock nodded towards him as saying to go on as he is still listening.

"Well, Lee, our local guy, tends to come in now and then as he likes to drink. Also brings his girlfriend as well but this time, as it wasn't no different, someone checked her out and she checked him out but he didn't notice that he likes his drink."

"Don't like of where this is going." Watson said to himself.

Holmes turned towards him before turning back towards the person but the door opens and heard slightly heavy footsteps coming towards the bar. That someone sat next to Holmes and watched the person behind the bar. "Same as before."

Watson saw him looking towards him and raise a eye brow but then nodded as to say: He understands.

Holmes glazed back towards the guy who is now known as Lee. "Hello Lee."

Lee glazed towards him, tipping his head to the side for a moment or so before looking back towards the bar and noticing that his drink appeared there. He seem shocked.

"Shocked there are we?" Holmes asked as he watched him further on.

Lee looks towards him before looking back at Holmes. "It's not like I ordered the drink or something."

Watson shook his head as he notice that Lee is drunk and got a short memory. He should check him out. He started getting up Holmes signalled him to stay of where he was but not watching him.

Holmes knew that he got a short memory and tends to get drunk now and them.

"Melissa there you are." Lee suddenly said towards Holmes which got he attention.

"Excuse me? Me dear friend, I am not Melissa." Holmes said as he got his pipe out once more.

Watson smirks to himself as he thought that it's funny that someone he met today been told that he's a girl. "Lee. I am sorry but she isn't here. I am afraid that she died."

Lee turned towards him and raised a eye brow as to take in the information before looking ahead of himself, face straight and not even touching his drink. He finally turned towards Holmes and looked like he isn't drunk at all.

Without warning, he got up, threw the drink at Holmes as he got up and ran towards the door.

Holmes covered his face as he felt the drink smashing at his arms before the glass hit the floor, beer everywhere along with glass.

However, Holmes doesn't care as he jumps up and started running towards the door. "Come on Watson. We got someone to catch."

Watson nodded as he is all ready and started going towards the doors.
