The Third Holmes (𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘁 𝘅 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗬/𝗡)

CHAPTER 4

Y/N can be seen writing in his journal about the next article that he would write.

Y/N scribbled the words profusely with his ink pen. "This just won't do!" Y/N said frustratedly.

Y/N's turmoil was suddenly interrupted when his editor went to his office with a solemn expression on his face.

"I have a new headline for you, Mr. Holmes."

Y/N tilted his head in question as he took the papers from his boss.

Y/N's eyes widened.

"DETECTIVE CHARGED FOR MURDER ON THE RUN. DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES."

Y/N sighed. "I don't visit him for just a few days, now he's a murder suspect and a fugitive."

His editor looked at him hesitantly. "Your reaction is rather calm, Mr. Holmes."

"I'm confident that my older brother would be able to get himself out of this one, Sir. What I'm surprised about is that someone is trying to frame him of murder."

"Is it perhaps, to maybe test him?" Y/N then began to ramble without thinking.

"Mr. Holmes?" His editor looked at him in concern.

"Don't mind what I said, Sir. I'll make sure to start working on the article right now." Y/N gave his editor a warm smile.

"I won't mind if you would like to take a day off." His boss said, pursing his lips.

"That would be unnecessary, Sir."

"Then make sure to take it easy," His boss said with a doubtful tone before leaving.

"You better make the right choice, Sherly," Y/N murmured as he began to type in his typewriter.

It was already the next day when the editor of the news publishing company came in rushing to Y/N's office.

"I have good ne-"

The editor-in-chief stopped when he saw that the young journalist was not in his office.

"He must have already heard the news and went to visit his older brother." The editor murmured.

He then suddenly averted his attention to the paper that was on his co-worker's desk. The man then took the paper and started to read its content. He widened his eyes.

"This is- He already written today's headline!"

The young man's boss then looked at the letter beside the written article.

Good Day, Sir! I would like to take a day off tomorrow. This is already tomorrow's headline so you can just read over it and publish it. Thank you!

Warmest Regards,
Y/N Holmes

"He was able to write an article with no information yet being released. It seems like he was able to predict his brother's innocence and exactly everything that will happen to the real murder suspect. How impressive." The editor-in-chief said in awe.

"The Holmes family are a different kind."

***

Y/N fixed the collar of his trench coat and looked over the fruit basket he brought before he knocked on the door of the flat where he knew his brother was staying.

The young Holmes expected the landlady to open the door, he was slightly surprised when it was a young adult man with short ash-blond hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a green three-piece suit with a brown vest.
