"You. Are insane. Who comes out on such a cold night? You need to tell me what's going on. How can we trust each other if we don't tell each other what the situation is?"

"Family stuff." He looked away as thunder crackled in the air.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 12:41 pm

"What kind?"

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 12:43 pm

"Grandma. Dead." He brought himself today as rain started to softly patter down.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:13 pm

Caitlin nodded solemnly. "I see. I'm truly sorry Gandal."

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:17 pm

"She had been poisoned." He carried in, swallowing hard, "I just needed some alone time."

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:29 pm

"Alone time will get you nowhere. You need to tell people you trust."

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:31 pm

"Yeah... I guess. I just wish I knew who... poisoned her." He mumbled.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:48 pm

Caitlin sighed. "We will. Together. Okay?" She looked up at him. "You can't do it alone."

"I just wish I could find out who did it..." He mumbled, standing up; the rain pelting at him.

As the rain began to fall, Caitlin realized that nothing was going to be easy any more. She had hoped her life would be like her Uncle Sherlock's. Fun and dangerous.

"Maybe... you could help me?" Gandal said, looking back into her eyes as lightening crackled across the sky lighting up the bus stop.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 6:55 am

"Maybe I can," she said with a smile.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 7:13 am

"Thankyou. We should... go back home?" He suggested, drops of rain dropping from his cheek... well... it looked like rain.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 7:36 am

"We should," she said smiling, her hair drenched and coating her neck.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:03 am

He took one last glance at her before turning and walking back the way he came; the rain the least of his worries.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:13 am

Caitlin stood and followed him. She pulled her coat tighter against the cold rain.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:14 am

Gandal sat on the floor the second he entered the threshold of the building, trying not to get all the furniture wet and muggy.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:28 am

Caitlin came in, went to the bathroom, came out and threw him a towel. "Have a shower. Get warmed up."

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:30 am

Gandal nodded and did so.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:39 am

As Caitlin waited, she boiled the kettle for a cup of tea.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:07 am

He entered the bathroom, turning the hot water on whilst he got undressed. He entered the steaming shower, letting the water drip down him, cleansing the past couple of minutes.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:49 am

Caitlin sat on the floor and started to dry.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:56 am

Minutes later Gandal came back out, slinking on a chair.

Subject: Re: The child of Sherlock Holmes Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:01 am

"You feeling any better?" she asked.
