That was boring. Too easy. A disappearance? Easy. While half way through a sentence? Not so easy. Not until the "missing person" walks out of the bakery and says that they saw a giant pretzel and had to buy one right away.
"Mrs Hudson!!" Called Sherlock. "Can we have some tea please??" No reply. "Where is she?"
"You know, for a famous detective, you really aren't very good at using your eyes. She left a note, Sherlock. She has gone shopping." Said a very irritated John.
"What's the matter with you? You're all grumpy."
"What's the matter with me? What's the matter with you Sherlock? That poor girl was worried about her friend. You can't just say things like 'You are so stupid. I knew this wasn't an actual case. I shouldn't have taken it.' Can you??" He said in a mocking tone "She is still in school for Christ's sake!"
"I never said that she was stupid. I just told her to pay more attention."
"Oh says you. You didn't even notice this note from Mrs Hudson pinned to the door."
And with that Sherlock went upstairs and started to play his violin very loudly.

1 hour had passed.
"I'm bored, John." Sulked Sherlock.
"Well then do something."
"I need a case. Get me a case."
"We have just had 3 clients in a row and you refused them all."
"Open the door"
"What?"
"Open the door." Sherlock repeated. John did as he was told and in walked Sergeant Donovan.
"Freak, we need your help."
"Again? What is it?"
"It's Lestrade. He's gone."
"Yes, so what? He always goes out to get a drink."
"Okay. 1- You have got to stop treating us like idiots, 2- we have already checked the pub and 3- I don't think he would usually take 3 hours to get a damn pint." She was shouting now. Sherlock stood up.
"3 hours? He has been gone 3 hours?" He acted worried.
"Yes. 3 BLOODY HOURS!!!!"
"Oh, this shouldn't take long. Another disappearance. We will find him soon, Sergeant." He said calmly putting on his coat and scarf. "John?" He had been stood there in silence for a few minutes looking slightly shocked. "Let's go down to Scotland Yard." They both left immediately. Sherlock swiftly called a taxi and they were off. They thought it was just another disappearance... Easy... Just like the last... How wrong they were... Even the great Sherlock Holmes couldn't see what would happen next...

All of my chapters are going to be 400-500 words long so they won't be very long but I should be making them quite frequently.

See ya lovelies.
