It is a Monday evening. The day so far had been slow and lazy. No phone calls, no visitors. Nothing. But even so, Kendall refreshes her blog page over and over with bleak hope that something, even just spam, will show, and Gregory skims over ads in the London Times.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTjNMcmmnJ
Shaking his paper as he turns the page, he looks over at Kendall. "Hey, come see this."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvY98YhqO
Kendall sets the laptop aside on the crowded coffee table and walks over. She leans from behind him, her curly brown hair spilling over his shoulder. "What am I looking at?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O6QUGmbrP
"Third person this month found dead on the Thames bank. I recognize this one."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yNnc8IYCE
"Friend of your family?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZnetN7tCC
He shakes his head. "Not bloody likely. The bloke was always drunk, a heavy gambler. Father banned him from every event he puts on. I would have deemed this a serial set, but he could have been plastered and fell in."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpumuJRwEGP
"Well, if you wanted to know bad enough we could go ask Amber and Daan."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU1sISQXMI
"No, it's not that important to me. And we aren't desperate enough for a case to go stepping on Scotland Yard's toes."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B26DNH90N
Kendall sighs loudly. "Maybe not desperate, but surely bored enough."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfByEoo5gaQ
"Nothing on your little website?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo02A7N0Qf
"Nope. No emails, no phone calls, no letters. We very well could just close up for the night."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3eKv1aMbo
"Someone's awfully antsy. Some special plan you need to rush off too?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFJs4WoBu
Kendall shakes her head. "No, not really. I'm just helping out with a play this week. Still much to do before it goes on stage Friday night."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnGEGkQyP
"Oh?" He looks up at her. "What play?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGKYflewlh
"The Importance of Being Ernest."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmlNXFkb79
"Are you acting in it or just helping with the set?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8lPuiicfZ
Kendall shrugs, walking back over to her computer. "I'm not entirely sure."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvMUEh2C7
"How can't you be sure if it opens in a week?" He lowers the paper to look at her.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSIAvCyu8V
"It depends on if Elizabeth is well enough to perform or not. Last week she called in sick and hasn't been back since."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhPVVIogM
"Well if you ask me, that sounds like you'll be performing. Who will you be playing?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nlCOEgaFO
"Maybe no one if Dr. Wren reassigns the part."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALmUr88yY5
"Kendall."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjNOQ68bRT
She sighs, sitting down. "I might be playing Gwendolen Fairfax."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuJ88Wuq1i
Gregory then smiles. "That's not surprising. I think your personality fits her well."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxGZrYFY7p
"Maybe...But the stage, Gregory! What if it's all too much and I just—" She peeks over the top edge of the laptop. "Can't do it?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE98trE4im
"You'll do fine." He shakes the paper, flipping the page. "I'll get a ticket for each night, if it would calm your nerves."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXviCfBzqq
Kendall laughs shortly, nearly choked. "Yeah, I really see that calming my nerves." Her cheeks softly redden at the thought.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsroLOHGWaN
Gregory's cellphone then starts to ring and he answers it. "Hello?" He is quiet for a moment before nodding. "Okay, Ian, we'll be right over." He then hangs up. "McIntosh wants us to drop by."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJuVsMf2N8
"What did you do this time?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXFANDhzL
"Why do you always think I've done something when he rings?" He glares at her.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCuHIBwiv
Kendall begins shoving her computer into its case. "Maybe because usually you have."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMP0YlPF0
Gregory rolls his eyes. "Anyway, he didn't say anything specific over the phone. He'll fill us in at the MET." He grabs his jacket and fedora from the hooks by the door. "Well? Are you coming or not?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0C2scEdr
"I'm working on it! Unlike you I can't just jump and go." She mutters, picking up her laptop bag before hustling over to grab her jacket and deerstalker cap. "Plus, I had time. It's not like you have already flagged down a cabby or anything."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPWOpAlK1
"Don't have to."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJyam8DU6
Outside of the door, there is a police car waiting for them. Kendall looks at Gregory with a raised brow. "Didn't do anything, hmm?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfEJNO3G6
"Oh shut up, this proves nothing." He snorts, walking over to and getting in the car.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaA6Mb7YxV
"If you say so, Greg." She chuckles, getting in after him. She glances at the two men in the front and groans inwardly as it is none other than Inspectors Greene and Patel.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMuhcMXCn
Inspector Greene turns around in the driver's seat. "Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here, Kendall."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw4a1m12ko
Kendall opens her mouth, but then shuts it in a thin line, shaking her head. "Not really, Simon..."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOKL7qm2C
Simon smirks as he reverses onto the road. "Oh come now, Kendall. You know every time we cross paths it's fancy." He glances over his shoulder at her.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTM7AzIPLa
"Eyes on the road, Greene." Greg rolls his eyes. "And preferably with your trap shut. It's been a long day and my tolerance for idiocy has long reached its limit."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReO7XB9iJr
Inspector Patel snickers in the passenger seat, but stops when Simon flashes a glare.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qR2c9rjP
"Much better, boys. Keep this up and you might be decent cabbies one day."
