"I'm visiting family for a few months." I paused. "Yes, thank you." Then I hung up. Mary looked sadly at me. We had all our clothes packed up. The ladies in black closet was locked up. We were escaping to my family's house in America. My niece and sister were there. I hadn't seen them and ages and my sister was overjoyed when I told her we were coming. I grabbed my suitcase and told the cabby to stop at 221B. I knew Sherlock was at Scotland Yard now, so only Mrs. Hudson would be there.
"Molly!" She exclaimed when I came up. "Why are you stopping by? You know Sherlock is at Scotland Yard."
"I'm packing to go to my sisters, and I left some of my things here." She nodded.
"Oh, let me help you find your things." She ran out and I left my note on his desk.

I hope you had fun with our little game. Good bye Sherlock. -Eliza Black.

After "packing" quickly I thanked Mrs. Hudson and went back out to the cabby, thanking her for her kindness. When we arrived, Mary gave her a tip. Next thing I knew we were in our seats on the plane lifting off the ground.
"I'm sorry Sherlock," I whispered. "I really am." A tear ran down my cheek, Mary rested a hand on my arm. I looked over to see she was crying too. She sang to calm us down.
"Sometimes people leave you, halfway through the world, do not let it grieve you. No one leaves for good. You are not alone. No one is alone."
We sang together trying to cheer each other up.
"Careful the things you say, children will listen." Our voices trailed off into the groan of the engines and the endless flight to America.

The Sequel, My Aunt Molly, will be out soon. It involves my own character. I hope it will be out soon! -Julie
