"Hello, April. This is Sherlock Holmes, may I speak to my father, please?" Sherlock asked. 

"Certainly, Mr. Holmes. One moment please." The secretary replied. Sherlock nodded, barely paying attention to the woman. His mind was on his former drug dealer and friend, Rhys and Joan his 'addict setter.' 

Finally after two minutes, a male voice said; "Hello Sherlock."

"Hello Father," Sherlock replied. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help." 

"What have you done now, Sherlock?" His father asked wearily. "Gotten some woman pregnant?"

The younger Holmes grimaced. "I have done many things sir, but I've never gotten a woman pregnant."

Sherlock heard his father sigh. "I apologize son. Now tell me, what's gong on?" 

So Sherlock told his father about Rhys, his daughter and the girl's kidnapping. After a few minutes his father agreed to send the funds that his son needed to ensure Cathy's release.

"Thank you, Father." Sherlock said.

"There is one more thing, Sherlock. Has Ms. Watson found another client yet?"

"Another client?" Sherlock was stunned. "No. Why?"

"The contract that she sighed expired two weeks ago. I assumed that she found another clilent since we last spoke."

"No, no. She never said anything." Sherlock answered. He glanced at the clock on his phone and said; "I'm sorry father, but I have to go. I thank you for your help and for telling me about Watson."

"You're welcome, Sherlock." His father replied. "Good luck, with your current case and again, I am sorry about Ms. Watson." Sherlock nodded and hung up the cell phone. 

At that moment, his father sounded sincere but, Sherlock knew that feeling would pass as quickly as it came. No matter, he had a case to solve and solve it he will. 

The End.
