Sherlock's New Competition

Chapter 2 - The Not So Friendly Sherlock Holmes

* Alexis's Pov *

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I sat up, swong my legs off my bed and pressed snooze on my clock. I slowly got off my bed and towards the bathroom. I took a shower then went to my closet while wrapped in a towel and grabbed my outfit for the day (the outfit in the picture). After getting ready I headed outside, when I exited the building a gush of wind hit me making me shiver. I called a taxi and told them to go to Scotland Yard. My dad texted me telling me that there was a murder that they could solve. OOOOHHH I thought I love the murders. When I got there I readjusted my coat and walking inside. I walked right past every one else, most people were staring at me, but one man had the nerve to get in my way. " Hey there pretty girl. The names Anderson, what's yours" 'Anderson' said " Well Anderson I'm not interested so why don't you just walk away before you get hurt, and besides you face is making my head hurt with your stupidity" I said walking around him. He grabbed my wrist and tried to get me to stay but I punched him in the jaw and he fell to the floor. People ran to help him, I just brushed off my knuckles and continued to my dad's office. When I got there I entered to see my dad talking to two men, one tale with curly hair and grayish- blue eyes and sharp cheek bones and a short man with dirty blonde hair. " Oh Sorry Sweetie, I forgot that you start working with me please come in" Dad said waving me in. " We were just talking about the evidence we found do far, we can't make any sense of it. Maybe you can figure it out." He said showing me a file with a picture of a dead women with purple bruises all over her and a stab wound on the stomach and a bullet hole in the shoulder. " Lestraude who is this young lady" the short one said. " Yes and if I can't understand it how can another imbicile understand it" the tall one said. " This is Alexis, my daughter. She's my new partner and she's smarter then me and possibly you." Dad said walking towards me, he gave me a hug which I gladly returned. " Alexis this is John Watson and Sherlock Holmes " he said pointing to them. The short one shook your hand, " I'm John Watson. Nice to meet you, I didn't know Greg had a daughter" John Said. " Well not many people do, and I prefer it to stay that way dear Watson" I joked. I walked to Sherlock and put my hand out. " So your the Famous Sherlock I can't stop hearing about in London" I said, when he didn't take my hand I put it back at my side. " How come you didn't tell us you had a daughter Graham"Sherlock said. " His name is Greg and he hasn't told alot of people about me but changing the subject, how long have you played the violin " I asked. Sherlock ignored me and looked at my dad. " Shall we go to the crime scene " he said walking out, John waved goodbye and followed Sherlock. " You get used to it" Dad said walking to the car with me following.
