"Have we got something?" Tewksbury asked, looking helplessly at Enola and Sherlock.

"No, not yet..." Sherlock sighed helplessly.

"Oh for heavens sake!" Tewksbury yelled out harshly and hit his head on the wall.

"Tewksbury calm down—"

"No!" Tewksbury cut Enola off.

"No, I will not calm down. We need to find whoever keeps trying to kill you! We have nothing!"

"Tewksbury we will find something I swear! I will be okay! Don't worr—"

"No! I can't lose yo-

Enola cupped his cheeks and kissed him. Cutting his worried fearful voice off.

Tewksbury whimpered into the kiss and wrapped his hands around her waist.

They both almost forgot their worries until the sound of a cough echoed in the room.

"I'm still here you know? Please do that in your own time" Sherlock said but also with a tiny smirk.

Enola and Tewksburys faces both turned red from embarrassment and lightly smiled.

"Okay so what have we go—

Knock knock

Enola, Tewksbury, and Sherlock's heads snapped up.

Tewksbury and Sherlock locked eyes, as if saying to each other "Do NOT let her open that!"

Sherlock quickly walked up to the door and firmly opened it, ready to defend his sister from harms way.

But what he saw was not an enemy.

But a young blonde girl with a determined look on her face.

"Is Enola Holmes here?" The young girl asked firmly.

"Who's asking?" Sherlock said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Me" She said with a scowl.

"Who are yo-

"Flora?" Enola's head popped out.

Floras face softened.

"Enola... may I...may I speak with you?" Flora said taking a step forward before Sherlock stopped her.

"Let her in Sherlock, shes my friend." Enola said quietly.

Sherlock let her in but looked at her with confusion.

"I need to talk to you" Flora said and looked at Tewksbury and Sherlock.

"Alone..."

Enola nodded with no look on her face before pulling Flora into a different room in her brothers house.

"What are you doing here?" Enola asked, not even being able to look at her friend.

"Listen Enola, I don't care what you say, I am not staying away from you just because you are being hunted by a psychopath! Is that not a reason we should even be together?! We should stick together!"

Enola sighed.

"Flora.."

"No. You need friends by your side! To keep you sane during this! And Amelie is gone now so all you have is Me and Caroline and I will not leave you during this time! And I also know how to work a gun!"

"Flora! No! I cannot lose you like I lost Amelie!" Enola lightly yelled, starting to get angry.

"Oh don't be stupid Enola!"

"Amelie wouldn't want you to run from the people that care and you know it! You know it!" Flora yelled frustratingly.

Enola looked at the floor, feeling ashamed.

Floras firm and slightly angered face softened into a sympathetic face and she grabbed Enola hand.

"Enola, you are now my best friend, I have nothing left. I cannot lose you as much as you can't lose me. I know we have only known each other for a couple of weeks but I feel this connection with you."

"I will be your support in all this, and you know you need this."

"You need a friend"

"But... but what if you get hurt?" Enola asked.

Flora chuckled.

"A murderer is after you and you are worried about me getting hurt?" Flora said with a smirk and laughed, lighting up the situation a little bit.

Enola lightly chuckled.

"Alright?" Flora asked.

Enola sighed in defeat.

Maybe she was right.

Maybe she did need the support of her friend.

"Alright." Enola said with a small smile.

Flora smiled and hugged Enola tightly.

"Now come on! Let's go!"

Flora dragged Enola by her wrist and walked back into Sherlock's living room.

"Okay so what have we got?! Anything?!" Flora asked with a little bit too much excitement.

Tewksbury and Sherlock looked at her weirdly as she defended.

"What? I've never done something like this before..."

Enola laughed and started to introduce her to Sherlock, since Tewksbury had already met her.

"Sherlock, this is Flora my friend, Flora this is my brother Sherlock." Enola introduced.

"Sherlock nodded at Flora lightly, still a little confused.

"So Flora, the man that keeps coming for me is being forced to by this mystery person" Enola said.

"I do not believe he wants to do this, he said he was being threatened."

"And you believe him? He's probably just messing with your head, Enola." Flora said with a "are you sure about that?" Look.

"I could see it in his eyes, they were scared..."

Flora sighed.

"If you say so..."
