Sherlock Holmes and the Nancy crisis

Chapter 4

We follow this person for a while. They just walk down the street until they turn into a convenience store. "Should we go in?" whispers Watson. I shake my head. "She'll see us" I whisper back. He nod in agreement. I quietly moved into an alleyway. Watson follows. "Well find where she lives and then we'll visit her house during the day" I whisper to Watson. He nods and we watch from the corner of the alleyway until the person comes out, They have a plastic bag.  I assume it has food or stuff in it. They are also carrying a slushy cup. I chuckle silently to myself. I can see she has a sweet tooth. I peak over the corner until she is a reasonable distance away and then I keep following her. I can hear Watson follow me. The hooded person seems to be walking slower, Like their listening to someone. The hooded person turns down an alley and I pause. I look at Watson, He shrugs and I take a deep breath. I turn down the alley.  There is no one in the alley. I look around. Where the hell did they go? Before I can think anymore someone kicks me and I fall to the ground. I look up to see the hooded person, Their face is covered by their hood. Watson is standing behind me. He looks from me to the person. The person takes a sip of their slushy as if waiting for one of us to talk. "Nancy?" I question, I'm still on the ground. The hooded figure pauses. "God, What the hell are you doing here?" The figure says. I get up and step back cautiously. 'Looking for you" Watson replies. The figure scoffs, I can feel their eyes roll. "You pushed me to the ground" I say. "You were following me, I thought you were one of the people trying to get that reward for me" She replies. I roll my eyes. "Nancy, We need to talk" I say after a couple minutes of silence. She shakes her head. "You shouldn't even be here. It's too much of a risk, I just moved here, I don't want what happened in my last place to happen here." She answers. "What happened in your last place" I ask. Nancy doesn't answer, She ignores my question. "Leave me alone" She says and then walks away.   "Wait!" I yell after her. I try to follow but her kick makes it hard for me to walk. I groan. Watson rushes after her. After a while he comes back. "She disappeared" Watson replies. I groan louder. Watson sighs. "We can try again tomorrow" Watson says. I mutter some unholy words under my breath and allow Watson to help me walk to our house. It's too late to call a cab. We keep walking and I keep cursing at myself, How could I let her go? How could I be beaten so easily?! How could i- How could I be so incompetent!  I grumble and groan as we walk into my flat. I fall down onto my chair and grumble to myself some more, I hear Watson say he's going to bed but i ignore it. I pull my legs to my chest and grumble some more. I stare forward.  Annoyed I pull open a drawer from my end table and take out a bottle, I open it and take a couple pills. I put the bottle back and look forward again. If only time could go by faster so I could talk to her again. Next time i'll go to that convenience store, Maybe i'll have more luck there. I mutter to myself some more. Idiot, How could I be so stupid, How?! How could I just give up like that?! How, How How?! How..How....how...
