Notes: Originally I was looking for someone who knew Sherlock BBC well enough to make sure my Sherlock is in character, but since I'm at my wit's end looking for a beta and I've tried every Sherlock Holmes beta community on LJ and DW, I'll take someone who can handle the stuff in my fic and make sure the events in the story make sense within the narrative. I'll also take someone who's familiar with London to make sure what I'm talking about isn't too fantastic for London.


Suzie takes Sherlock and John to Ronald Adair's building. PC White is standing outside the door of 427 Park Lane. Suzie nods at PC White and PC White nods back. She walks away when Suzie, Sherlock and John enter Adair's building.

Suzie's Murder Investigation Team gives the trio odd looks and double takes. There are whispers among the team-is that Sherlock? I thought he died-but Suzie waves them off. "This man is not the man you're thinking of," she says. The Murder Investigation Team doesn't ask further.

Except for Ronald's body, the crime scene is intact.

Sherlock walks to Ronald's desk. He looks outside the window.

Suzie cleans off her thigh-high boots. They're covering up her pants. "There's a bullet hole in the window."

"Obviously the assailant obtained a precision rifle and shot Ronald from another room in this apartment complex. Don't insult my intelligence further, Suzie."

"Oh, no, Sherlock, I wouldn't think of doing that."
