*Sara's​ ​p.o.v.*


I​ ​was​ ​currently​ ​on​ ​a​ ​plane​ ​that​ ​was​ ​touching​ ​down​ ​in​ ​London.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​here​ ​to​ ​stay​ ​with​ ​my cousin​ ​until​ ​I​ ​can​ ​find​ ​a​ ​place​ ​of​ ​my​ ​own.​ ​I'm​ ​in​ ​London,​ ​because​ ​my​ ​cousin​ ​is​ ​the​ ​only​ ​person that​ ​offered​ ​me​ ​a​ ​place​ ​to​ ​stay​ ​after​ ​my​ ​parents​ ​died​ ​from​ ​a​ ​terrible​ ​accident.​ ​Oh​ ​yeah,​ ​my​ ​cousin just​ ​so​ ​happens​ ​to​ ​be​ ​none​ ​other​ ​than​ ​THE​ ​Sherlock​ ​Holmes.​ ​To​ ​be​ ​honest,​ ​I'm​ ​glad​ ​he's​ ​the​ ​one  that​ ​offered​ ​a​ ​place​ ​to​ ​stay.​ ​For​ ​the​ ​most​ ​part,​ ​I​ ​hated​ ​my​ ​family.​ ​My​ ​parents​ ​and​ ​Sherlock​ ​are like​ ​the​ ​only​ ​people​ ​I​ ​really​ ​liked.


The​ ​plane​ ​touched​ ​down​ ​and​ ​once​ ​given​ ​the​ ​go​ ​ahead,​ ​I​ ​got​ ​up​ ​and​ ​made​ ​my​ ​way​ ​off​ ​the plane​ ​as​ ​quickly​ ​as​ ​possible.​ ​Once​ ​I​ ​made​ ​it​ ​through​ ​my​ ​airport​ ​terminal​ ​and​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a free​ ​seat,​ ​I​ ​sat​ ​down​ ​and​ ​pulled​ ​out​ ​my​ ​phone​ ​to​ ​call​ ​Sherlock.​ ​After​ ​a​ ​few​ ​rings,​ ​he​ ​finally picked​ ​up.


Me:​ ​Hey​ ​Sherlock.​ ​I​ ​just​ ​called​ ​to​ ​say​ ​that​ ​I'm​ ​FINALLY​ ​in​ ​London​ ​and​ ​I'll​ ​be​ ​over​ ​in​ ​like​ ​an hour.


Mysterious​ ​man:​ ​Sherlock's​ ​busy.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​his​ ​friend​ ​Detective​ ​Inspector​ ​Gregory​ ​Lestrade.


Me:​ ​*lets​ ​out​ ​a​ ​laugh*​ ​Sherlock​ ​has​ ​friends?​ ​That's​ ​funny.​ ​Is​ ​he​ ​home?


Greg:​ ​Yeah.​ ​He's​ ​just​ ​busy​ ​and​ ​refuses​ ​to​ ​answer​ ​his​ ​phone.


Me:​ ​Sounds​ ​like​ ​him.​ ​Could​ ​you​ ​relay​ ​my​ ​message​ ​to​ ​him?


Greg:​ ​Can​ ​do.


Me:​ ​Thanks.​ ​By​ ​the​ ​way,​ ​I'm​ ​his​ ​cousin​ ​Sara.


Greg:​ ​I​ ​know.​ ​He​ ​alerted​ ​all​ ​of​ ​us​ ​about​ ​what​ ​happened​ ​and​ ​that​ ​you'd​ ​be​ ​staying​ ​with​ ​him. Sorry​ ​for​ ​your​ ​loss.


Me:​ ​Thanks.​ ​Well,​ ​I​ ​should​ ​go​ ​call​ ​a​ ​cab.​ ​*hears​ ​announcement*​ ​Actually,​ ​could​ ​I​ ​get​ ​you​ ​to pick​ ​me​ ​up?​ ​All​ ​the​ ​shuttles​ ​and​ ​taxis​ ​are​ ​currently​ ​in​ ​use,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​wait​ ​for​ ​one​ ​is​ ​rather​ ​barmy.


Greg:​ ​Will​ ​do.​ ​See​ ​you​ ​soon.
