(Last time)

I put my keys in the little bowl where I usually put them, and hung my coat onto the coathanger.

And that's when I noticed the dark figure sitting on my couch.

"Where the hell have you been all night?!"

Eliana's POV:

"What? I can't go out when I want to?!"

"No you can't!"

"Sherlock you can't tell me what to do!"

"I have to! You can't take care of yourself!"

"Oh sure! Says the guy who's on drugs again!"

"That's different Eliana, you know that!"

"Yes, because that is about you and you not being able to admit your mistakes!"

"Don't turn this onto me! Who were you with?!"

"That's none of your business!"

"Come on, we need to talk about this" Sherlock said as he grabbed my arm and dragged me to 221B. I didn't even try to fight it, I knew it was no use.

"Sit down" he said as he sat down in his chair himself.

"I'm not one of your clients!"

"Sit. Down. Now."

I sat down, and gave John a pleading look, hoping he'd help me. He gave me an apologetic smile in return, meaning that he couldn't.

Sherlock grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

"Mycroft can you come over for minute? It's about Eliana" he said and glared at me for what felt like the 60000th time.

Ten minutes later, the interrogation began.

John pretty much wasn't allowed to say anything, and Sherlock and Mycroft were pacing around the apartment.

"Eliana, answer the question. Were you, or were you not with James Moriarty?"

"I wasn't"

"Sherlock this is no use, she is a trained liar. We can ask her all we want, she's not going to tell the truth."

"You're right, not even a lie detector is going to tell us the truth..." he sighed, and sat back down.

"What is all this talk about lie detectors?" I heard mrs. Hudson say.

"Mrs. Hudson, not now please-" John started, but she cut him off.

"Eliana why don't we go have some tea?" She suggested.

"Mrs. Hudson, not now. This is important."

"Oh nonsense, come on dear" I didn't hesistate, I immediatly stood up and followed her to the café next our building.

"Thank you so much, you really saved me" I gave her a hug.

"I would have normally invited you for tea in my apartment but I thought it would be better to get you away from your brothers for a while." She smiled.

"Mrs. Hudson you are an actual angel."

"Oh don't worry about it, dear"

Mrs. Hudson walked home and I saw two people come up to me, open armed.

"EL!!" all of them shouted, I recognised them immediatly.

"Lyra? Ara? What the hell are you two doing here?!" I hugged them.

"We missed you!"

"I've only been gone for 2 days-"

"Yeah, so?"

We spend the next 3 hours walking through central London, chatting and laughing. I really missed them.

They both still lived in New York, Lyra finally got her film technology degree and Ara told me that she is almost done writing her first novel.

Those two were always more creative then I was, I wanted to study crimology or work with a group of agents.

When I moved to get away from everything, I moved in with them.
We met way back in high school, they were the only friends I had. I'm still surprised I actually managed to make friends back then...

(???)'s POV:

There she is, standing across the street. This is my chance. I just have to wait until the other two girls leave...
