*The next day, at around 11am*
I strolled down the street, trying to gather my thoughts together. Unfortunately, I was so distracted that I bumped into someone.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I gasped, stepping backwards in order to regain my balance.
"Are you hurt?" the stranger asked, concerned. He was a man of about 26 years, with blonde hair, wearing a green suit, a blue hat and leaning on a cane.
"No, I'm fine. What about you?"
"Just on my way to meet someone."
"Mind if I join you, sir?"
"Of course you can. My name's John H. Watson."
"Mine is Shirley Hunt."
"Well then, let's get going."
*15 minute timeskip*
We had arrived at the location that was given to Dr. Watson. 221B Baker Street.
"It seems like this is the place." We both stepped inside. "Hello?" called Dr. Watson.
"Anyone home?" I chimed in.
"What is that smell?" he whispered.
"I know, right? This place smells like a laboratory," I muttered under my breath.
"Excuse me, is anyone home? I'm here for-" Dr. Watson broke off, suddenly rushing up the steps. I hurried after him, anxious about what he may have sensed. Peeking into the room immediately closest to the top of the stairs, a chill ran down my spine. A body was lying stretched out on the floor, blood seeping out from seemingly underneath.
