A Study In Pink: Chapter 7

In the cab, (Y/N) is watching the London Scenery pass by then you ask.

"How did you find me?" you ask the cabbi and he replied.

"Oh, I recognised yer, soon as I saw you chasing my cab. (Y/N) (L/N) I was warned about you. I've watch on the news and all the article about you and some case you did. Brilliant! Love it!" The cabbie stated.

"Who warned you about me?" you asked.

"Just someone out there who's noticed you" the cabbie said then your eyes went wide and mutters quitely "my parents" then you shake your head and replied.

"who?" you said as you leans forward, looking closely at the side of the cabbie's neck, then you noticing a photograph of a young boy and girl attached to the dashboard of the cab.

"who would notice me?" you ask again as the cabbie meeting your eyes briefly in the rear view mirror and replied.

"you're too modest, Ms (L/N)" the cabbie said.

"I'm really not" you stated.

"you've got yourself a fan" the cabbie said and you nonchalantly, sitting back in your seat and replied.

"Tell me more" you said then you thought 'my one fan maybe is one of my family or someone that I don't know' then the cabbie reply.

"that's all you gonna know..." he said as he pauses dramatically for a moment.

"in this lifetime" he said quietly.

--------Back of the 221B flat------

Back at the flat, Sherlock pacing back and forth ang his right hand still holding you keys while John is still waiting at the website.

"John is there result in that website?" Sherlock ask and John still looking at the screen and replied.

"nope still searching the location" John replied and he hear Sherlock frustration and still pacing and holding your key.

---------the cab---------

Some distance away, the cab drives on and finally stops at the front of two identical buildings side by side. The cabbie turns off the engine and gets out, coming to the passenger door and opening it. He looks in at you.

"Where are we?" you ask.

"you know every street in London. You know exactly where we are" he replied.

"Roland-Kerry Further Education College. Why here?" you ask.

"it's open; cleaners are in. One thing about being a cabbie: you always know a nice quiet spot for a murder. I'm surprised more of us don't branch out" The cabbie explain.

"and you just walk your victim in? How?" you ask as the cabbie raises a piston and points it at you. You rolles your eyes and turn your head away.

"Oh dull" you stated.

"Don't worry. It gets better." the cabbie said.

"You can't make people take their own lives at gunpoint" you says.

"I don't. It's much better than that" the cabbie said as he lowers the gun.

"Don't need this with you, 'cause you'll follow me." he continue as he confidently walks away. You sits for a moment, then grimaces in exasperation at yourself as you does what the cabbie predicted and gets out of the cab to follow the man.

----------Back at the 221B------

Sherlock and John still in the flat. Sherlock looking down at the fireplace holding your keys and thinking in his mind and John appears to have decided to go home and walks towards the living room door, then look down and clenches his right hand as if realising that he doesn't have his walking cane. He looks round and goes over to collect it. With it back to him, Sherlock's notebook is still on Mephone's website and click is spinning on the screen while the site reaches for Jennifer Wilson's phones. As John pick up the cane and heads for the door again, the computer beeps triumphantly and a map appears on the screen and starts to zoom in on the new location of the phone. John and Sherlock turns their back as the computer beeps repeatedly. Sherlock going back to the table as he pick up the notebook and looks at the screen, then he turns and takes the notebook with his as he hurries out of the door and down the stairs and John follow behind him and once again forgetting to take his cane.
