15 years later...

Veronica frowned yet another girl taken, raped, and. She plopped the newspaper down on the counter in her bakery and sighed. When were these going to stop? She wondered and began to lock up her store. It was dark out and Veronica needed to stay late to finish up cakes for a few events. Close to 10 o'clock she left and began to walk the three blocks to her tiny flat.

Two sets of footsteps followed behind her, Veronica began to quicken her pace and so would the steps behind her. She turned around and saw two brutish men. She turned to run but they were too quick; one grabbed her and took her squirming body behind a building away from prying eyes and the other followed. She was now paralyzed with fear "It's okay miss, we just want a little fun with you." His breath wafted in her face and smelled awful. But there was no mistaking that these were the two men in the newspaper.

This is it, Veronica thought I'm going to die with my body disgraced and humiliated. She thought and started to cry and beg to be let go.

"Please, if- if you let me go I won't tell anyone." She said trembling with fear.

The man roared in anger "You shut up!" And slapped her across the face. "You're just like every other bitch we see, begging and crying to be let go."

The metallic taste of blood was present in her mouth. The man grinned "I know something that will shut you up." By now Veronica was sobbing as she was forced to her knees. One of the men had a large hand on her head while the other fiddled with his belt.

BANG

Veronica froze, had she been shot? The two other men froze too, had they been shot?

The figure of a short man stepped closer as she continued trembled, with her mind jumbled from her panic she had no idea if this mystery man was here to help her or not, either way he had a gun and was calling the shots now. He waved the gun at the two men "All right step away from her. I don't want to have to shoot you both." He said. For being short, he was quite brave. "Now against the wall." He said and the two men walked towards the wall where he cuffed them both and walked over to Veronica. "Are you alright miss?" He asked.

Veronica nodded her head yes "It's okay I'm a doctor, come here." He said and put the gun on the ground. Veronica walked over timidly and he looked at her face "Just a split lip." He said and smiled.

Veronica smiled back "Are you an officer too?" She asked.

The man shook his head "I'm not but they should be on their way." He laughed a bit to himself "Gun shots are the fastest way to call them."

Veronica laughed a bit and sure enough the sirens were wailing in the distance. "So, what is my hero's name?" She asked.

"John Watson. Yours?" he said and offered her a hand to shake.

"Veronica Matthews." She said smiling.

The police soon arrived and a frenzy of reporters. The two horrible men were taken away, and the DI offered her a ride home which she gladly accepted.

Veronica looked out the window and saw Mr. Watson standing next a tall man in a belstaff coat with a mop of hair. Veronica nearly choked "Sherlock?" She mumbled pressing her face to the glass.

Veronica continued staring out the window. "Sherlock?" DI Lestrade asked "You know him?"

"Well I suppose we were really close friends at one time." She smiled softly remembering, but her smile quickly turned into a frown.
