The morning had some special appeal to it as Sherlock Holmes sat near the balcony of his apartment on his straddler chair.The cold wind was blowing at this early hour whilst Holmes enjoyed his cup of coffee.The wind blow ed some of his hair out of his face as he sipped yet another sip of his coffee and stared at the view before him with concentration.

His thoughts were disturbed by the cell phone beeping.Who is calling me at this ungodly hour?He thought.

Ring!Ring!

He saw Irene Adler's caller ID on his dimly lit phone and answered after three rings.

"Sherlock, I have a case for you.Meet me at the restaurant down your ally ASAP."She said in a single breath.By the tone of her voice Sherlock knew she was panicking and something was up.

"Well,hello to you too Miss Adler."He mocked and teased.But after knowing this wasn't the right time to joke he continued-"I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

And with that said Miss Adler hung up.

Holmes stood from his comfy chair and decided to know the whole matter.

After fifteen minutes he pulled up his car in front of a restaurant named "La' Place d'Italie" which Miss Adler had told him about.

He pushed the entrance door and walked in.As he spoted Miss Adler's black hair in the not so crowded crowd,he dashed towards her.

He took a seat besides her and asked-"What's wrong,Miss Adler?".
