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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpuO2sglfl
Shaking his paper as he turns the page, he looks over at Kendall. "Hey, come see this."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnFjZ38bQO
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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk7Pbg3XlY
"Third person this month found dead on the Thames bank. I recognize this one."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSDmD9UkK4
"Friend of your family?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcjj1MmqE
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04YZmJbjb
"Well, if you wanted to know bad enough we could go ask Amber and Daan."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSJ1QXzVSd
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCgms9Z2Da
Kendall sighs loudly. "Maybe not desperate, but surely bored enough."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGfK2K4xIY
"Nothing on your little website?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wlXMKUh1n
"Nope. No emails, no phone calls, no letters. We very well could just close up for the night."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZF8O0LTl
"Someone's awfully antsy. Some special plan you need to rush off too?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx2fJIRDWX
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOgMC6wx2D
"Oh?" He looks up at her. "What play?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjAycSiyLr
"The Importance of Being Ernest."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkv7AVtJch
"Are you acting in it or just helping with the set?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gCHRw0Ba
Kendall shrugs, walking back over to her computer. "I'm not entirely sure."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G8s14TtN6
"How can't you be sure if it opens in a week?" He lowers the paper to look at her.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDXykKiZyo
"It depends on if Elizabeth is well enough to perform or not. Last week she called in sick and hasn't been back since."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3PVl4lle2
"Well if you ask me, that sounds like you'll be performing. Who will you be playing?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3jmkSLh5K
"Maybe no one if Dr. Wren reassigns the part."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGUItqKKBS
"Kendall."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppHslSgyj1
She sighs, sitting down. "I might be playing Gwendolen Fairfax."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotklreaFer
Gregory then smiles. "That's not surprising. I think your personality fits her well."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4fV3kSDTd
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwmqRDAMgO
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX890MzR90
Kendall laughs shortly, nearly choked. "Yeah, I really see that calming my nerves." Her cheeks softly redden at the thought.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LXtU3plRI
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUYx0bEaO
"What did you do this time?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzHkIifeZm
"Why do you always think I've done something when he rings?" He glares at her.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8FHXqkf5G
Kendall begins shoving her computer into its case. "Maybe because usually you have."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44HDDFooyy
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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu4CiGhepP
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjAbAoAcao
"Don't have to."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzXRIgG6K
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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5YdzpYQCb
"Oh shut up, this proves nothing." He snorts, walking over to and getting in the car.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfyLgmbLNC
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUAd8yNzo
Inspector Greene turns around in the driver's seat. "Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here, Kendall."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8wxOYIUEe
Kendall opens her mouth, but then shuts it in a thin line, shaking her head. "Not really, Simon..."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncesZH3pK3
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1da0kRbNo
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRmSg9SHzN
Inspector Patel snickers in the passenger seat, but stops when Simon flashes a glare.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIx2JLDBT
"Much better, boys. Keep this up and you might be decent cabbies one day."
