John Watson is in London recuperating after being discharged from the army during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, in which he served as a surgeon. Finding it difficult to live on his salary, he moves in with a roommate: an eccentric man named Sherlock Holmes. Watson becomes fascinated by Holmes, a consulting detective with great abilities in deduction who helps people-including the police-with cases they can't solve.

Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard asks Holmes for assistance on a mysterious murder case. Holmes can't resist the case's strange details, and brings Watson with him. When they arrive at the vacant home on Brixton Road where the body was found, Holmes carefully and methodically observes outside the house before going in to see the scene of the crime. Inside, Inspectors Lestrade and Gregson explain the case: An American man named Enoch Drebber was found dead in the middle of the night with no apparent wound. Despite this, there is blood on the floor and the word "RACHE" written on the wall in blood. Drebber was traveling with a secretary named Stangerson, who has not yet been located.

[Sherlock x Female OC] The thing is, there is an empty, gaping hole at the base of John's throat where his overwhelming guilt and periodic bouts of torturous grief used to be. It would be so easy to... to be angry and punch a hole through the wall, through the foam of his pillow -- drive his fist through Sherlock's heart. But he remembers; in the most tragic and inopportune of fashion, remembers how angry he had been when Sherlock had jumped, how furious he had been at his funeral, and how it hadn't stopped him from breaking down at his grave nonetheless. The thing about his anger is this: it does nothing but leave him behind in the end, a bundle of nerves and frailty in his bones and an unsteady sway to his gait. It does nothing at all, but reduce marginally the constant, suffocating oppressiveness of his days bleeding into one another with a burst of adrenaline. The thing about his anger is this: it doesn't give him back Sherlock. So he gets a new flatmate- a woman named Holland. They were great friends at school and in fear he would be lonely again after Sherlock died he started to meet up with her, and soon, she moved in with him. They're just friends, though. No one could have a bond with John like Sherlock did. Sherlock was his best friend. But then Sherlock returns, and John is more furious than ever at him. Also, Sherlock and Holland seem to bond quite well, which is something Sherlock finds too complicated to explain itself.
