"We have breaking news of a spate of murders. A killer supposedly dressed in a Barney costume has been running around killing drug fuelled students." Oh no dont mention names "The first victim was Vanessa Hutch and was found by a dog walker" no actually it was found by a off duty officer you dumb reporter "she was found in the early hours a month ago. The next victim was found a week later. Her name was" I went to turn it off when "We know its being investigated by world renowned dective Elizabeth Holmes. " Oh why mention my name. A emergency meeting was summoned by Lesterade. "How" he slammed his hands on the table "Did this happen" a deathly silence fell over the interview room "So you want a press conference arranged?" A receptionist asked timidly "yes I think we will have to. Beth im sorry your name is now being dragged through this." "Im used to it. Right now we need to warn the families." Four people disappeared off to make that happen. The timid receptionist poked her head in a couple minutes later "Press Conference at 9am tomorrow" then darted out again. I decided to yo home and prepare some notes for the conference.
"Elizabeth can you tell us if this is just druggies " one young reporter commented "To save the young girls some dignity I would like to say yes but the most recent victim was a accident. She took the drug to enhance her night with friends" this press conference was going on forever. "Elizabeth does this link with Moriarty" a reporter from the Sun asked "I have not investigated that yet" That made me think is he employing our mystery girl? Is he the one who is arranging the bomb? I was snapped out my daydream by a rather keen reporter asking what was on everyone's mind "Do you have any suspects? " "no but we are slowly narrowing it down"
A couple hours later I flopped on the sofa to be immediately smothered in kisses by my small but mighty dachshund Fleur. "Fleur I love you but seriously calm down" I threw her a toy to keep her occupied while I e-mailed Q my suspicions
me: Hello Q I have a suspicion that she is targeting a specific drug company
Q: That sounds plausible Beth I looked at the files Did u notice they went to the same school? Me: no I didnt what are you saying that the company is in the most formidable British private school?!
Q: Um yeah
Me: Genius Im sleeping on that
