Chapter Text
Sherlock was walking to the crime scene to talk to Lestrade when he noticed a young woman talking to him. She looks about 24 and has (h/l) (h/c).
"We found the body this morning and there was blood pooled around the body. Molly did a DNA test and found that she is Scarlett Cook." Lestrade stated to the young girl.
'Who is this young girl. I need more information.' Sherlock thought to himself. Sherlock walked briskly to Lestrade to ask who this young girl was.
"Oh, hello Sherlock this is (y/n) (l/n) and this is her first case with Scotland Yard." Lestrade said while the young girl turned around. She has (e/c) eyes and wore thick black glasses.
"Hello! Nice to finally meet you Sherlock. I've heard so much about you from Lestrade." (Y/n) said excitedly.
"Alright enough introductions. Let's get on with this case." Lestrade said loudly. The referred as Scarlett was lying in the middle of the room with her head all bloody. "She had severe blows to the head and bled to death. Her husband said that she had no enemies and gets along great with her co-workers. Nothing was stolen for there to be a robbery..."
"What time does she get off of work?" (Y/n) interrupted.
"She locks up her shop at 10:00 and walks home." Lestrade said.
"Could have been somebody following her. Was there any sign of where or what the weapon was?"
"Steel pipe by the looks of the wounds on the back of her head. She was being followed which is why she hurried home." Sherlock answered.
"How do you know she was followed and she was hurrying home?"
"There are scratch marks around the door handle indicating she was trying to unlock the door while she was looking behind her back." (Y/n) said quietly. Everyone turned to look at her in amazement. Even Sherlock looked surprised.
"And how did you deduce that Miss (l/n)?" Sherlock questioned.
"When I walked in I saw scratch marks around the door handle. With someone who works with their hands a lot, it isn't very likely for them to have shakey hands. There were only to possible things, A.) She was drunk or B.) She is hurrying. Which she was not intoxicated while walking home so I went with plan B." (Y/n) said quickly. Sally Donovan walked over.
"Oh goody we have freak #2!" Donovan said sarcastically. (Y/n)'s face grew red and she looked at her feet with a hurt look. "Enough Donovan! You and Anderson pack up, we'll continue tomorrow. (Y/n) and Sherlock go home and discuss what you found." Lestrade ordered.
"Why don't you come with me to Baker Street and I'll have John make you a cup of tea." Sherlock said to (y/n) while she grabbed her bag and coat.
"Sounds great!" (Y/n) replied. Sherlock and (y/n) walked out the door while discussing the case while heading to Baker Street.
