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.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcta5LlG0Po
Shaking his paper as he turns the page, he looks over at Kendall. "Hey, come see this."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTa9QjftR
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?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CAvsxJq3a
"Third person this month found dead on the Thames bank. I recognize this one."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cNAyicbs
"Friend of your family?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5fOCKTFMH
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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxVOJZacY
"Well, if you wanted to know bad enough we could go ask Amber and Daan."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSliIipt5q
"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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBdh4zQsTW
Kendall sighs loudly. "Maybe not desperate, but surely bored enough."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡispkpEFLdX
"Nothing on your little website?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nrdMCC9J2
"Nope. No emails, no phone calls, no letters. We very well could just close up for the night."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2k8i1yVDg
"Someone's awfully antsy. Some special plan you need to rush off too?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4tthJBPb
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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPJjWzc8PA
"Oh?" He looks up at her. "What play?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkcIP9PE9l
"The Importance of Being Ernest."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0H883kEEc
"Are you acting in it or just helping with the set?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbzcDD04GO
Kendall shrugs, walking back over to her computer. "I'm not entirely sure."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldWY3bcVcT
"How can't you be sure if it opens in a week?" He lowers the paper to look at her.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhWa31NH1S
"It depends on if Elizabeth is well enough to perform or not. Last week she called in sick and hasn't been back since."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhNgQ3seZ
"Well if you ask me, that sounds like you'll be performing. Who will you be playing?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfu2LfIvy
"Maybe no one if Dr. Wren reassigns the part."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvOd0Iy4aA
"Kendall."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX2NUtuwlY
She sighs, sitting down. "I might be playing Gwendolen Fairfax."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM9PzqBqlX
Gregory then smiles. "That's not surprising. I think your personality fits her well."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtiqNd8vyl
"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?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz42jftAx1
"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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqkZwGQTYN
Kendall laughs shortly, nearly choked. "Yeah, I really see that calming my nerves." Her cheeks softly redden at the thought.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6B2JNXYy
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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfbZ9bz6Fs
"What did you do this time?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDucT9FD3Ef
"Why do you always think I've done something when he rings?" He glares at her.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfidVFVEEY
Kendall begins shoving her computer into its case. "Maybe because usually you have."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGGCZntKLl
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?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5LeIApQg8
"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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrJNznQM1
"Don't have to."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMsvlz2Qr1
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?"337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyPbo3drcr
"Oh shut up, this proves nothing." He snorts, walking over to and getting in the car.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhRpBs6dJO
"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.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i3zljr0CR
Inspector Greene turns around in the driver's seat. "Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here, Kendall."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQFyIasjEY
Kendall opens her mouth, but then shuts it in a thin line, shaking her head. "Not really, Simon..."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSACsepfPb
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.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1enE0BLBUB
"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."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85HHToeXD0
Inspector Patel snickers in the passenger seat, but stops when Simon flashes a glare.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMpaL81JZL
"Much better, boys. Keep this up and you might be decent cabbies one day."
