We are outside Steve Cooper house, the man who wrote that letter asking for Sherlock ´s help, and that Sherlock out of nowhere accepted.

Sherlock said that he accepted because he was bored and needed a case, but part of me knows that that was a lie, I know him well enough to see when he is lying or telling the truth, and I am 80% sure that he was lying.

But I don´t understand why he lied, he tells me everything, sometimes even more that I want to know, so why didn´t he told me the truth?

And another mystery is who the bloody hell id Lexi? He kept whisper that name while asleep last night!

I have to ask him, but if he lies again? Well I will ask him anyway.

-Sherlock?

-Yes? – His face was it his normal calm and thinking expression.

-Who is Lexi?

Suddenly his face changed only for some seconds but I saw, it was like a surprise and a little sad expression, but then as if he released that I had saw those expressions, his face returns to normal and he answer me:

-Don´t Know any Lexi. Why?

-Last night I eared you whisper that name, more than once.

-As I said I don´t know any Lexi so you must have eared it bad.

-No I haven´t I eared you saying “Lexi”.

-Perhaps she is some character from a book I’m riding, ok? So just drop it.

-Ok fine.

I see that he is lying but what can I do?... He won´t tell me.. I think I’ll have to do some research about this, because Sherlock won´t making it any easy…

-Sherlock?! You came!

The man (Steve) opened us the door and when saw Sherlock he was really surprised, like if he knew that Sherlock don´t usual accept this cases.

-I thought you wouldn´t came, Leah told me that you wouldn´t but I steel had  a little faith.

-You Know Leah? Leah Cooper? –Said Sherlock with this face as if she meant something to him.

-Who is Leah? – I asked, hopping for some answer but Sherlock and Steve acted like if I wasn´t there.

-Yeah she is the one who told me about you.

-But who is Leah?! – I asked again louder.

-Why do you want to know? – This girl shows up from inside the house, she is the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, she had straight brown and blonde hair, amazing green eyes and the most beautiful smile that I had ever seen, and she wasn´t huge like the most girls now, she had my high what was amazing! She was perfect!

-Leah? – Sherlock said with a smile that showed up out of nowhere.

-Sherlock? You came! How are you? I haven´t seen you for a long time.

Before Sherlock could say anything, Leah hugged him, he was a little embarrassed but steel with that smile on his face.

Sherlock saw that I was staring at them so pulled her away.

-John this is Leah, she is kind  an old friend, Leah this is John my blogger, roommate and my assistant.

-I´m not your blogger or assistant!

I hate when I calls me that…

-But anyway, you’re Sherlock´s old friend? I didn´t know he had any.

-Well Kind off, it´s a long story, well I have to go, an emergency on the hospital. Talk to you later Sherlock, and nice to meet you John.

She left and I couldn´t stop staring at her, she was so beautiful and that smile…

-Well Leah is my cousin, and do you want to come in and talk about my dad´s murderer?

I and Sherlock had completely forgotten about Steve.

-Of course – Sherlock said coming in the house and taking his tiny magnifying glass out of his pocket and started to observe every millimeter of the house while I and Steve were in the living room, talking about his father death.

-I would like to take your father’s body to the morgue to run some tests. –Sherlock said without taking his eyes from this painting of the sea.

-Sure, of course.

-Well I would like to make some questions about your fathers health.

-John you don´t need to, I almost solved the case and his health his not important. Well Mr. Cooper, we will go now.

-What do you mean you solved the case? You know who killed my dad?

-Not yet, I will inform you when I can, right now there is nothing more I can do in here, so we will go now.

Sherlock glanced at me it that “let´s go” look.

-Well Mr. Cooper apparently we will go, but I will inform you when we now something.

-Hum, ok thanks.

Sherlock left the house and called a taxi, and I almost didn´t catch it.

-So want to catch me up?

-Not yet, I steel have to run some test and then I will explain it all to you.

The can ride took about 10/15 min and we were back to 221 B Baker Street. Sherlock sat in his couch and went to his mind palace, so I went do bathroom to take a shower.

There are some things I can´t get it, who is Lexi!? And how is Leah a “kind an old friend” of Sherlock?! Sherlock isn´t making it easy… I have to see how this Lexi is related to this case; it was to be, otherwise, why would Sherlock bring her up only now? This is too many questions my brain can take, I have to get some answers and know!

So I grabbed my towel and get of the bathroom decided to make Sherlock answer my questions.

-Sherlock, you will answer to me now!

When I open the door I find Sherlock and Leah staring at me.

-Hum, I’m sorry I didn´t know you two were busy. – says Leah with her face all blushed.

-No! It´s not what it looks like, I was taking a shower!

-What it looks like? – says Sherlock with is “What is going on?” face (not a very usual face on him).

-Nothing forget it, so sorry I will just put some clothes on, so sorry.

-That´s ok.

I return to my bedroom and can ear Leah laughing of the all thing, great now she thinks I’m creep….
