"Alrighty Miss. Tierney," Mrs. Hudson, the kind landlady, said. "Here are your keys and if you ever need to copy them, tell me before hand." She handed me the silver key with the distinctive 221c numbers pressed onto it. I smiled at the lady and pocketed the keys in my short, black, over-dress coat.

"Thank you Mrs. Hudson. You will expect my pay for rent before the end of the month." I said, setting my suitcase in the hall outside of the locked door. Mrs. Hudson started to walk away but stopped as she seemed to remember something.

"By the way sweetie, if you hear violin playing, yelling, jumping, explosions, pounding, or gun shots coming from upstairs, don't think anything of it. Although, if it is too quite for too long then we should start to worry." The old lady smiled at me and turned around. I looked at her with probably the biggest confused expression anyone could muster. Gun shots? Explosions? What apartment did I move into? "Oh and one more thing," Mrs. Hudson poked her head from around the corner that led to her flat. "If you see random, confused people walking around, just direct them upstairs." She waved then disappeared around the corner. I just stood there shocked. God, why can't my life be normal?
