Sherlock's New Competition

Chapter 1 - New to London

* Alexis's Pov *

"Well" I said to myself,"First day in London. Funny it feels like yesterday I was a secretary in Florida, now I'm working with my dad in London". I was walking out of the airport, I had just got off a plane from Florida where I used to work but they transferred me to the London division. I walked to the street with my luggage and called a taxi. " Where to" the cabbie asked. I grabbed a paper from my pocket with the address to my new 'flat', that's what they call apartments right. " 221B Baker Street please, and quickly." I said looking out the window. " So are you going to talk to the famous Sherlock Holmes" the cabbie asked. I just shook my head 'no'. Who is Sherlock Holmes I thought. Ten minutes later I arrived at my destination, I paid the cabbie and got out.

I knocked on the door and a old lady around late 60- early 70's opened the door. " What can I help you with dear " she asked. " Hi. Um... I talked to you on the phone about the flat for rent, um, I believe it was 221C." I said checking the paper again. " Oh yes. You must be Alexis, I'm Mrs.Hudson. Here let me show you to the flat. " Mrs.Hudson said walking up some stairs, I quickly followed her past a door where I heard two voices, a deep male voice and a higher-pitched voice. When we got to my flat she opened it to reveal all my furniture and stuff. I sent them before I left for London. " Oh and Alexis. Do mind the neighbors downstairs they're quite.... odd, especially Sherlock but you shouldn't have to worry about him. If he gives you trouble tell his flatmate John or me and one of us will deal with him" she said walking off. I thanked her and entered my flat. I started rearranging my furniture starting with my couch, then my table then my chair and finally, my music corner. My music corner is like my sanctuary, it's where I keep my flute ,guitar ,clarinet ,piano , and finally my prized possession, my violin. I became a master at the age of 6, and have played it ever since. After I finished it was 1 am. So I decided to go to bed.
