CHAPTER THREE-DETECTIVE WHO?

Xander walk inside the school hall,he was granted access by one of the forensic staff outside and was given a glove to wear, shelock must have talked to them,they only told him not to mess with the crime scene.

The hall was a mess, broken pieces of concrete blocks were on the floor,he went further inside and found a hole on the wall, looking inside he saw a body standing upright with the hands by it side.

'A woman 'he thought,'and by the looks of it a young girl by the age,15 to 18,so a student, probably one of ours, but no one is missing and this body has not been here for long give or take 6months'he thought.giving it a proper look he noticed her nails were kind of painted different colors 'OH SHIT '.

"so have you solved it yet?"

Xander heard behind him,he turned and saw shelock,he turned back and faced the body again,"hmmm,not quite, I think I know who she is, but am not sure about who killed her".

"well, tell me what you know".

"ok,.. well for starters she is my principal last daughter,age 17, sophomore, she kinda rebellious, you can tell my the different colors nails that how I know she is the one,her father said she was in Spain visiting a family friend, well I think this is were they lived, inside the school wall,haha".

"any suspect?". shelock asked he was intrigued by this young boy.

"well three!!, one the father,well he must have known is daughter was missing if he wasn't involved, two the boyfriend, Andrew is not a nice guy,I think he hit her sometimes and even cheat on her, so maybe they have a falling out."he said and stopped,he moved the body to the side,he saw a mark like a sawlike teeth on her skin'ohh, am very good 'he smiled.

"And the last??"shelock found out he disliked it when people put him in suspense,and this boy is having a field Day with it.

"sorry, the night guard who is also the janitor here,why??, well we all should guess it by now,"he said and stood up,he faced shelock "well, how did I do??".

"well,if there is a mark,I would say 8.5 points for you, the remaining 1.5 is for not having a solid suspect and you were right it is janitor, the police arrested him already,I solved the case".

"WHAT,then why did you let me come here??."he asked..

"you have the eyes of a young genius, your sense of justice might have been something you grew up with,or want to be, you been wronged before, you were excited to see me like you know me, maybe heard of me and it was easy to solve."shelock replied.

"did you just analyze me, and came up with that in just a few minutes, it's not even up to 10 minutes since we met outside, that is so cool"Xander said"and yes I've heard of you,you work for Scotland yard ."Xander lied.

"WITH Scotland yard,am freelance,only help when the case is interesting and when am bored "shelock told him.

shelock Holmes was shocked when the boy solved the case,and within 5 minutes,it took him half an hour, well he was questioning the father and janitor and that took his time .

"You tried, let get you outside"shelock said and walk outside.xander followed him, when they got out and he saw that his father was already gone.

"WHAT "HE SHOUTED.

"your father left, well you can ride with me, let me drop you off, it's my fault."shelock offered.

"thanks "

"no problem at all "

They both walked outside the school gate and saw lastrade inside a rental car parked at the front and got inside.

"so, are you guys finished?"lastrade asked.

"yes, and the boy is smart"shelock answered.

They drove for 30 minutes, talking about different things,from Xander school to working with the police, soon they stopped at his house.

"what do you think about being my assistant?I could teach you about being a good detective"shelock said.

"nooo,at least not now, maybe after highschool"Xander replied, during that period in the show Alexis would be working at the morgue in NYPD, and shelock would have met Joan waston already, the more the merrier.

"ok if you say so,here is my number call me only if you really need to talk to me"shelock said and gave him a piece of paper with his name and number on it.

"THANKS"Xander said, took the paper and got out of the car,he wave them good bye and got inside the elevator, coming out he thought to himself.

'thank God I didn't write the shelock Holmes novel if not hehehe, beside he is different from the show, not arrogant or overbearing or impatient as shown in the show, maybe not now 'he thought.'now I will be a student of detective shelock Holmes '.

"deactivate who"he heard,he turned back and saw Alexis sitting on the couch, eating a sandwich,he didn't know he was thinking out loud.

"you guys left me"

"dad got a call, beside you could get home by yourself,tell what happened?"Alexis asked.

"well,Trina is dead, found her body buried inside the school wall in the hall, and apparently she was killed by the janitor."Xander recap everything that happened in just a few words.

"damn,I thought she was in Spain, and who found out?"

"that I have no idea about"

"ok, there is some sandwich inside the fridge, I am going to call my friends and tell them". Alexis said and stood up "beside no school today and that is one of the best gifts trina has given us ever."she walks to her room, Xander signs and sat down,he knows what she was thinking about,trina was a bully and a sadistic person.

Back inside the car, lastrade was talking to shelock.

"it's a surprise for me to see you show interest in someone if the person is not a criminal,he is not a criminal right??"lastrade asked.

"no no, just someone I find interesting and he sounds older than he looks, beside it will be interesting to have a sidekick "shelock answered,he was telling the truth no one has ever been able to outsmart him.
