Got to confess that this scene was inspired by Sherlock. (My favorite series)

"Harry!" Niall shouted, bursting in with another man waiting anxiously behind him "Client"

Harry's eyebrows rose involuntarily and an excited smile graced his face

"Excellent" he replied "Come in" he added, motioning to the chair opposite his desk

"Louis, get out" Niall ordered

"Oh so I'm just Louis now?" The small man questioned "Interesting" he noted

"Leave him" Harry said to Niall, watching as the stranger walked into his office and sat across from him "He's just reading" he added

"Alright" Niall stated, glancing at Louis with a shrug, walking into the room and sitting next to the man

"Name?" Harry asked

"Andy Grayforth" he stated

"Why are you here Andy?" Harry questioned

"I need someone to help me" Andy replied and Harry waited for him to continue "I'm a suspect in my brother's murder"

"Older brother?" Harry asked

"Yes" Andy told him, his voice full of uncertainty

"Describe him to me" Harry said quietly, slowly intertwining his fingers and waiting for Andy to answer

"He...he was tall" Andy started "Blue eyes, dark hair" he listed

"You've heard of him?" Andy questioned, astounded

"You just told me" Harry said

"I didn't say anything" Andy replied, looking both confused and astonished

"You said enough" Harry told him "Now, tell me about your parents"

"My mother died two years ago" Andy told him "My father just suffered a heart attack two weeks ago and is yet to recover" he explained "He's not doing too good"

"And the shock of his son dying must have made him considerably worse, am I right?" Harry asked

"You are" Andy confirmed

"Describe your dog to me" Harry questioned suddenly

"How do you know that I have a dog?" Andy questioned

Harry looked towards the small claw marks on the front of Andy's brown leather shoes and the hair lining his black trousers from the knee down

"White Yorkshire terrier" Harry stated "Tell me about her"

The man looked baffled for a second but answered Harry anyway "She was only two weeks old when I first got her" Andy started fondly "A neighbor of mine had a dog which had eight puppies and naturally she couldn't keep them all" Andy told Harry who seemed to be smiling triumphantly at Andy's response to the question "Anyway, I got one of the puppies and she's almost four years old now" he continued "For her birthday last year we-"
