A/N: Part 1. Takes place in Season 4 of BH and somewhere in Season 1 in Sherlock. This is a belated birthday gift for Random Jane on Tumblr. Hope you enjoy and sorry for the delay.
Greetings fellow sleuths, John Watson here again. I am here to document another thrilling mystery with the one and only Sherlock Holmes. This time with a twist!
It all started when Lestrade called us in for an assignment.
“What is it now Lestrade? I am a very busy man.” Sherlock said anxiously.
“I just thought you should know that there has been a murder that needs your area of expertise. It’s in Cardiff, Wales.”
“I’m sorry, Wales?” I exclaim.
“ Is there a bloody echo in here? Yes Wales! The victim’s name is Dustin Frith, brother of the multimillionaire Alistair Frith. Aged 40, a family man with a husband and 2 kids. The story goes he was on his way home from work as a Graphic Designer when something or someone attacked him from behind, ripping his throat out.” Lestrade explains.
“Eesh,” I reply.
“I know. What do ya say? In or out? Sherlock? “ Lestrade asks.
“Well, I do like a challenge. We accept.” Sherlock responds rubbing his hands together like a greedy businessman.
“We do?” I question.
“We do.” Sherlock replies.
“Excellent! Here is the address,” Lestrade hands us a piece of paper. “ The Cardiff police will meet you there in one hour. Good luck gents.”
So off we go on our new adventure. Sherlock grinning the entire way, giddy like a little kid in a sweets shop.
An hour and a half later we finally make it and just like Lestrade had said, the Cardiff police were there waiting for us.
“Sherlock Holmes?” Sherlock nods “and you must be John Watson, is that right?” The leader turns to me and says.
“So what do we have here?” Sherlock asks
“A case of wrong place, wrong time,” the officer explains.
Just then I look up and see two men talking to what looks like thin air, So I ask the main officer,“Who are those two men over there?”
“You know, I have no idea. They just keep showing up at every crime scene.”
So I decided to do some investigating of my own and go over there and talk to them.
“…….Annie is with baby Eve at home Alex! We discussed this,” one of the men was saying to what looks like nothing.
“Hi, sorry to interrupt but my name is John Watson, what’s yours?” I greet extending my hand to the gents
“Um Hal and this is Tom,” Hal introduces.
“Nice to meet you both, so what brings you here?” I inquire.
“Just checking things out. We are in Forensics,” Hal explains.
“I see and what do you think happened here?” I question.
“Well, isn’t it bloody obvious? Look at the bloody scratches,” Tom shouts.
“I think what my fine feathered friend is trying to say, is it looks like he was attacked by an animal of some kind,” Hal explains.
“Really? Do you have any idea what that could be then?” I ask.
“Not really no,” Tom and Hal answer in unison
“Ah, well I am going to get back to my friend” I say pointing to Sherlock “Nice to meet you both.” Then I walk back to Sherlock thinking how odd those gents were. Little did I know just how odd they really were.
End of Part 1.
