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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3JD10DE49
Shaking his paper as he turns the page, he looks over at Kendall. "Hey, come see this."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSgyIquLTd
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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGarbiPuXF7
"Third person this month found dead on the Thames bank. I recognize this one."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBGqwGS8Pp
"Friend of your family?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKTAv2Ni7
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO67zG8VKx
"Well, if you wanted to know bad enough we could go ask Amber and Daan."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTmfNgysOQ
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qSFphd0Dh
Kendall sighs loudly. "Maybe not desperate, but surely bored enough."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJF0oiCgdK
"Nothing on your little website?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVPa9GdXa
"Nope. No emails, no phone calls, no letters. We very well could just close up for the night."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iggCoQNi
"Someone's awfully antsy. Some special plan you need to rush off too?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMjgbZ1Cd
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6hMCtEUQN
"Oh?" He looks up at her. "What play?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg8kSH2sSv
"The Importance of Being Ernest."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mQK19krlR
"Are you acting in it or just helping with the set?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZeNy4RIed
Kendall shrugs, walking back over to her computer. "I'm not entirely sure."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWNdIvczX
"How can't you be sure if it opens in a week?" He lowers the paper to look at her.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN2yL4UfZ9
"It depends on if Elizabeth is well enough to perform or not. Last week she called in sick and hasn't been back since."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlHI6zHzT
"Well if you ask me, that sounds like you'll be performing. Who will you be playing?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJhW1IHzO
"Maybe no one if Dr. Wren reassigns the part."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSmcSCKv5
"Kendall."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdBUnNaQO
She sighs, sitting down. "I might be playing Gwendolen Fairfax."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KvrlD6ScS
Gregory then smiles. "That's not surprising. I think your personality fits her well."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc9mkfi0MM
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofi58OpK3Z
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDGzKUqlZu
Kendall laughs shortly, nearly choked. "Yeah, I really see that calming my nerves." Her cheeks softly redden at the thought.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoURMTByGs
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oZkD14a5e
"What did you do this time?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHARwvyaYkH
"Why do you always think I've done something when he rings?" He glares at her.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1eKMnQc0F
Kendall begins shoving her computer into its case. "Maybe because usually you have."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSgdcD1RLb
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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXnyzGjhsW
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkZE4poEBK
"Don't have to."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda7w5h9nj0
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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahV1mHPO8
"Oh shut up, this proves nothing." He snorts, walking over to and getting in the car.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PBhPnW3I
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFRXMv8WC6
Inspector Greene turns around in the driver's seat. "Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here, Kendall."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtYFR3xYCD
Kendall opens her mouth, but then shuts it in a thin line, shaking her head. "Not really, Simon..."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw0MXab4OY
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLtzIqTero
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTmcMn3eGI
Inspector Patel snickers in the passenger seat, but stops when Simon flashes a glare.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL18xyD1wX
"Much better, boys. Keep this up and you might be decent cabbies one day."
