MAGGIE'S POINT OF VIEW:

The light came flooding into my eyes when I open them, as I sat up very slowly I found myself in a hospital bed, with a man half-asleep in a chair next to me, the man wasn't my father or any friend. In fact, I couldn't recognize this man at all. The man was very scruffy-looking, he had grayish hair and facial features that reminded me of someone but I couldn't figure out who. He finally realized that I was awake and he began to introduce himself. Quite fast I may add.

"My name is Detective Inspector Lestrade, I am a detective with Scotland Yard. What is your name?" He spoke with a loud and rough voice, something I didn't need early in the morning.

 Answering the man, I began to introduce myself, "My name is Maggie Sherlock, where am I? What happened? The last thing I remembered was I was on the couch with my parents drinking tea and watching TV." 

Clearing his throat he spoke with that rough, tired voice, "Well we found you locked in a closet unconscious, you're in the hospital now and you're safe. Is there anything you remembered before you were knocked unconscious?".

"Yes, I remember my parent's screams, they were horrifying. Wait where are my parents? why aren't they here with me?" My voice stuttered when I asked these questions. 

The inspector looked into my eyes, and his face fell. "I'm sorry I'm the one to tell you this, but your parents were found passed away, they were murdered" His voice turned from that rough, loud inspector voice to a soft, concerned voice a father would have.

"How? I can't believe it, who would want to hurt my parent? They were good decent people, who wouldn't hurt a fly, and they weren't involved in anything illegal.  I can't breathe, I feel really dizzy. " these words trembled out of my mouth. Laying back down, I closed my eyes for a minute. Before I opened my eyes again the inspector left the room to get the doctor.

Being left in my hospital room I began to think about what he said and then it hit me. Did he just say his name was Inspector Lestrade?

He looked so familiar, that I knew him, I knew I saw him before. But from where...then it clicked. He's from Sherlock!! But how am I here on my favorite TV show? This makes no sense, and I need a lot more answers. 

As I was having my freak out, the doctor and the inspector came into the room and broke me from my thinking. The doctor came over to the side of the bed with his papers.

"Miss. Sherlock, you appear to have a small concussion, besides that you are as healthy as a horse" the doctor announced professionally. 

Before the doctor leaves, I asked when I could leave. My voice grew very curious when I asked this question. 

"Just as soon as you sign your release papers, you are free to leave". Shortly after the doctor leaves another person comes into my room, just another police officer. I climbed out of bed and got changed in the bathroom, after I was ready and I signed the papers it was time for me to go. The police officer that came into my room earlier was really nice, she was assigned to stay by my side until we got to the safe house. Due to the inspector, I'm not able to go home, as the house is being treated as an active crime scene. 

A short car ride later she turns to me and tells me that there will be a woman named Molly Hooper looking after me during this process.

SHERLOCK'S POV:

Looking down into the mess of papers and equipment I couldn't find my telescope anywhere. Making my mind up I decided to ask Molly.  "Molly, wheres my telescope gone?" I asked rambling under my breath. Just walking into the room Molly looks at me with exhaustion "It's just over there Sherlock" she exclaimed, pointing to my telescope.  

"By chance can you help me with this body examining?" I say hoping she will. 

"I'm sorry Sherlock I can't, I have to meet someone that's under protection from an active case with the yard. This person has experienced horrible things in the last couple of hours, they are probably going to be in a lot of shock. And I think Lestrade is stumped by the case ." Molly apologized. 

"In that case can I come? I need a new case and I'm just bored out of my mind right now" I pleaded, holding my hands up. 

Molly fell silent for a minute and then finally sighed with her response, "Sure, but do not scare her Sherlock, remember the last person you tried to emotionally comfort, the ending was not pretty". 

My mind made a flashback, to the screaming girl that I tried to help, a month back. Snapping back into reality I responded to Molly's last remark, "Ya ya Molly, I know I'm not great at it, but I'm learning" I retorted. We then left the lab and walked to the safe house where we were going to meet the person.
