The next morning arrives and everyone is up for the day. Sara agreed to take Rosie out for a walk after breakfast so John could help Sherlock find at least a decent case. John took his laptop and sat in his chair, beginning to look for something. Sherlock called Lestrade about cases he could take up and solved those off the bat because they were too easy.

Three hours pass before Sara and Rosie come home "Hello. Oh yea, Uncle Mycroft wanted me to give this to you Dad and this to you John" She said. Sherlock glanced at John before opening it and saw a quadruple homicide with the appearance of suicide by the victims. He smiled and cracked a chuckle "Let's go check this out. Sara watch Rosie and we'll be back in a few hours" Sherlock stood. John and Sara smiled at his new found curiosity. John kissed Rosie's head and she babbled loudly, giggling as they left.

John and Sherlock walked into the crime scene after a taxi ride to the Tower Bridge. Sherlock and John looked around before noticing something peculiar among all of them "All models and around their mid 30's, but why?" Sherlock asked himself curiously. John glanced at the insignia on the ground, looking very familiar "Here's the logo for the Tower Tribune... do you think someone that works there would this?" He asked.

"No, no... too simple. Way too simple for that mindset. Why though... we should head back and look more into detail about this. Let's go" Sherlock told John as they then went back to let the officers gather evidence. Sherlock and John returned to find Sara reading. She told them to be quiet "Rosie's taking her nap" She whispered and stood.

"I'm going to go hang out with friends... I'll keep tabs of where I am" She whispered and left with her swim gear. Sara took her bike and headed to the pool. She stopped by a large, abandoned house that had scorch marks on it a few minutes away from Baker Street. She always stopped by this house, wondering what happened to it and its inhabitants. Some curiosity took Sara even though the house was unsettling in it's ambiance. She simply cycled past it, not letting it overcome her.

Sara arrived at the pool and went into the locker room. Her friends were chatting as they waited in the locker room for her.

"Hey girl!" Lauren replied and stood, hugging her.

"Hey Sara" Brianna and Liana replied in unison. Sara hugged Lauren back briefly and chuckled "Sorry I'm late guys, I had to babysit my cousin" Sara explained as she let go.

"Let me guess, Dads out on a case with his gay partner" Brianna joked. Sara sighed and laughed "Don't let John hear that, he'll go off on a tangent about that" as Sara took off her shirt to reveal a bathing suit underneath.

"Girl, Sherlock is hot. Like when I look in the paper, he's smoking" Lauren admitted.

"Real shocker there Lauren" Liana retorted.

Natalie looked over to Liana "What is that supposed to mean?" She asked offended.

"Please, you'll snog a guy that's 20 years older than you are" Liana argued.

"Please, he'll insult you and reject you in the same sentence" Sara replied, chuckling "Now, did we come here to gossip or did we come here to swim" She took off her jeans along with her shoes. Sara and the others walked out and dove into the pool and swam around "Perfect" She gave a satisfied smile as she floated on her back.

"So you nervous about the meet in a week?" Brianna asked.

"No, not really. Just need a cool head when going into it" Sara replied.

"I'm so excited for it, I'll so be there" Lauren added.

"I'll look forward to it" Sara smiled.

"Then you supposed you wouldn't be up for a race?" Liana challenged.

"I accept. I always like a good challenge" Sara smirked "Bring it on, if you have the guts" She added, climbing out and getting on a diving block.

"You're so on" Liana smirked and got on a different diving block.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Swim Meet of the Century. We have Sara Holmes vs. Liana Goldberg" Brianna giggled before making a crowd cheering noise.

"On your marks. Get set. Go" Lauren sounded impersonating the sound of a shotgun.

Sara and Liana dove into the pool and began to race each other. Liana started to go out of breath by the 50 mark "God damn I really need to work out..." She panted "You win Holmes. You bloody win" she added as Sara was at the shallow end "And the crowd goes wild for the Holmes Hornet" She impersonated a crowd cheering sound as her friends laughed slightly.

"Well done Sara. Shame I couldn't be at your last swim meet" Mycroft appeared and looked at her and her group of friends. Sara facepalmed as she got out of the pool "This had better be good..." She muttered to herself before facing him "Hello Uncle... how can I help you?" She asked.

"we need to talk about something we can't discuss here. Get changed and meet me outside in 10 minutes" Mycroft whispered and walked out.

"Gotta go ladies... I have work to do" Sara went in the locker room to change quickly. She walked out changed like asked quickly and mounted her bike on the jaguar before getting in the back to see John as well, knowing this can't be good.

"Ok, whats going on?" Sara asked.

"Sara, in our latest case, we found something that may lead you to some one who you knew possibly" John pulled out a dog tag from his pocket.

Commander Cornelius James Ryder III

Sara shook her head in disbelief "Do you think that- this is my real father?" She asked.

"We don't know. We have to apprehend him first to get a DNA test from him to confirm our theories. But we wanted to let you know that he could be alive" John explained.

"Oh... ok... thank you for telling me this" She looked down as John gave him a sympathetic smile and went to hug her gently.
