John Watson found himself at the doorstep of 221B Baker St. unable to reach his key to the flat or properly knock on the door on account of the grocery bag in one hand and defense against the wet and gloomy London weather in the other. With some difficulty, he put down the bag, folded his dripping umbrella, fished the key out of his pocket, and opened the door, getting himself and the paper bag soaked in the process.

Inside, Sherlock was plucking at his violin, mercifully not yet playing it. He took notice of John's entry, but did not bother looking up.

"You know, you could at least try to do something," John said as he set down the bag again to hang up his soaked coat. "You've not moved for the past four days!"

dropping his violin to the floor, Sherlock whined, "Nothing's happening and I'm BORED!" in response. "Plus, Mrs. Hudson took my gun." He added with a forlorn glance at the wall riddled with holes.

Before John could make any further complaints, Sherlock's phone started ringing. He sprung up from his chair, glanced at it, and put it to his ear with a slight smile before the second ring.

"Lestrade, good. Have you got a case for me?… No, why… you really can't solve that yourse—… Well can't you just tell me now?… Fine, I'll be right there." With that, the now irritated genius was out the door with his coat and scarf, knowing that John would not be far behind.

"Where are we going?" Watson queried once they were in a cab.

Sherlock shot him a slightly confused (the diminutive amount of confusion that the genius detective was capable of) glance and quickly responded "Scotland Yard" before continuing to stare distractedly out the window.

"Why?"

"A girl died in a car accident. Lestrade won't tell me why it's important, but he wants me down there as soon as possible." Sherlock explained. Watson noticed the lingering hint of confusion in his voice, though his words confused John even more.

"An accident? Then what's the case?"

"My question exactly"

A/N: Sorry it's really short, but it's the first chapter in my first FanFic. I'll probably get another chapter up soon, but I don't have a definite plan yet. Please review, I love constructive criticism! Thanks for reading!
