To : Annette Anderson
From : John Watson

Hello? I'm sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but I was wondering if we could finish that conversation now.

To : John Watson
From : Annette Anderson

It's alright, John. I just finished talking with my cousin. You had perfect timing.

To : Annette Anderson
From : John Watson

That's a relief. I couldn't help but notice, are you by any chance related to a Philip Anderson?

To : John Watson
From : Annette Anderson

You know him? I'm dreadfully sorry that you had to meet him. He's a terrible person, if I still know my cousin.

To : Annette Anderson
From : John Watson

Anderson is your cousin? You seem to be nothing like him.

To : John Watson
From : Annette Anderson

I get that a lot. You know that cousin I spoke to you about earlier? She's his sister, Karla. Fortunately, they're nothing alike either. Anyways, is Sherlock back yet?

To : Annette Anderson
From : John Watson

Actually, we're in Speedy's now. But yes, he is. I'll get him to send you an email.

To : John Watson
From : Annette Anderson

Thanks, John. I owe you.

John looked over at Sherlock, who was sitting patiently across from him. Seeing that John had finished, Sherlock silently turned the computer around, a small smile inching its way onto his face.

Hello, Annie.

To : Sherlock Holmes
From : Annette Anderson

Hello, Sherlock. Did you miss me?

To : Annette Anderson
From : Sherlock Holmes

I'm doing fine. Where have you been?

To : Sherlock Holmes
From : Annette Anderson

Avoiding the question, are we? I highly doubt I need to say it, but I missed you, too.

To : Annette Anderson
From : Sherlock Holmes

Now who is avoiding the question?

To : Sherlock Holmes
From : Annette Anderson

The United States. My father felt it best to send me away to a college in the U.S. after graduation. Philip, of course, was allowed to stay. Now enough of me, how have you been? I see you've become a detective. I knew you could put those skills of yours to use.

To : Annette Anderson
From : Sherlock Holmes

Consulting detective.
