"Daddy!" I says as I enter the kitchen to find Daddy making breakfast. "Good morning Annabelle" He replies handing me a bowl of cereal, "I have to go to a meeting in an hour so the driver will take you to school with Anthea" Daddy tells me. I love going to art school its so fun.

"Anthea is not her real name" I giggle.

After finishing my cereal I head up stairs to get dressed out of my silk pyjamas, with the letters AH sewn in, and into something I can wear for school.

"Bye Daddy" I hug my daddy goodbye "Be good" my daddy tells me even though he know I will Be and he hands me my coat and rucksack.He opens the door just as the driver pulls into the drive makes sure I get in and then shuts the door. "Hello" I say to Anthea "Hi" She replies and we spend the rest of the drive in silence.

When we arrive at school I thank the driver and get out. I see lots of children I prefer to be alone.

>>>>Skip school day<<<<

I wait after school for my daddy's driver to arrive when the car finally arrives I see Anthea inside. As usual she is on her phone so I stare out the window for the whole journey. When we pull into the house I jump out of the car and I am let in to the house by Anthea. Daddy is not home I shortly realise. I am bored. What is there to do on such a day. I put my coat on the back of a chair and then I decide to do some homework. However, I finish all my homework in ten minutes it was only Latin and history. Now once again I  struck by boredom. I shall play my violin. I practice Mozart's 8th sonata.

Someone opens the door. "Daddy" I run down stairs to greet my daddy. "We are going to 221B" He tells me I know this means we are going to see Sherlock and by the look on daddy's Face I would say Sherlock's probably back on the drugs. We get in the car and hear to Baker Street "Is Sherlock ok?" I ask daddy "I don't know dear" He replies. When we arrive Sherlock's not there yet. Daddy tells me to wait upstairs whilst he waits on the stairs. I make sure I sit in a place where I can hear their conversation.

Sherlock enters rather frustrated that his brother has come.

"Well then Sherlock back on the source?" I hear daddy ask rhetorically.

"What are you doing here?"

"I phoned him" John sighs

"The silent call of old habits, how very like uncle Rudy, though in many ways cross dressing would have been a wiser path for you" I hear daddy say.

"You phoned him" Sherlock says presumably to John.

"Course I bloody phoned him" John replies

"Course he bloody did, now save me a little time where should we be looking?" daddy asks Sherlock talking off drugs.

"We?" Sherlock asks

Just then I realise there are two other people up here rummaging through the flat.

"Mr Holmes" a man I've never seen before says he is accompanied by a woman. I decided to deduce them. The man is about mid forties works as a forensic scientist at Scotland Yard. My thoughts are cut off by Sherlock.
"For Gods sake!" Sherlock storms upstairs daddy and John soon follow.

(A/N not many people realise this but there is an extra person in the room I do not know who they are but you get a quick glimpse of them when Sherlock curls up on the sofa)

I don't really want to listen to their conversation so I continue to deduce the two people the man is married though is having an affair with someone else. Both the man and the woman he is seeing outside his marriage work under the same DI surprisingly Greg Lestrade I can put up with Greg he's decent. Once again my thoughts are cut off by Sherlock and daddy's argument.

"It was for a case" Sherlock claims

"What case could possibly justify this?" daddy asks

"Magnussen, Charles Augustus Magnussen" Sherlock replies quickly.

Daddy turns towards the two other people in the room 

"that name you think you may have just heard, you were mistaken, if you ever mention hearing that name in this room in this context I guarantee you on behalf of the British security services the materials will be found on your computer hard drive resulting in your immediate incarceration, don't reply just look frightened and scuttle"

They leave the room and daddy turns to John.

"I hope I won't have to threaten you as well"

"Well I think we'd both find that embarrassing" John and Sherlock snicker.

"Magnussen is not your business"

"Oh you mean he's yours" Sherlock says to daddy.

"You may consider him under my protection"

"I consider you under his thumb"

"If you go against Magnussen you'll find yourself going against me"

"Ok I'll let you know if I notice, ummm what was I going to say, oh yeah bye bye" Sherlock points to the door and opens it.

"Unwise brother mine"

Sherlock grabs Daddy and puts his hand behind his back. Daddy let's out a desperate sigh of pain.

"Brother mine don't appal me when I'm high"

"Mycroft just leave don't say a word he will snap you in two and right now I'm slightly worried he will" John says. Sherlock releases his grip. Daddy was going to say something. "Don't speak just leave" John says and hands Daddy his umbrella. Daddy turns to leave and I quickly head towards the door. We both leave.

When we get outside I ask
"are you ok daddy"
"Yes I'm perfectly fine now let's get back home shall we"
