Chapter 2 – The Order’s Mission

Melody and John walked through the headquarters of the Order, of which John noted on being low-tech, until they got to a door with a plaque reading:

Stephanie Muffin
Director

Underneath the plaque, someone stuck a sticky note reading ‘mum’. Melody laughed as she took the note off of the door. “Oh Sophia”

“What?”

“She nicknamed Director ‘mum’” Melody explained, “says it is a sign of respect”

She knocked on the door and a kind, yet commanding voice said “Come in”

The room was, relatively, nice. A woman was sitting behind a desk looking through some files.

“Thank you Tonks, return to Communications”

Melody left, shutting the door behind her.

“Now,” Director said, putting the files in a folder, “I bet you are wondering why you are here?”

“A little”

Director smiled and began to explain, “As soon as that nasty rumor popped up, saying how Sherlock Holmes, the World’s Only Consulting Detective, was a fraud we decided to form a group working to prove his innocence. Mostly through non-violent acts, like tagging. However, due to Sherlock’s death, we need to act. So I am asking if you want to join us in clearing your best friend’s name. It is going to be dangerous.”

“Count me in” John said

“Very well,” Director then picked up her phone and made a call, “Spitfire, can you see me? I have your new partner”

A few minutes later, woman, around the age of John, entered the door; she had olive skin, green eyes and dark red hair that passed her broad shoulders. “Hey mum,” she said

“Spitfire, I’ve told you to call me Director!”

Spitfire rolled her eyes and turned to look at John, “So you’re my new partner then?”

“I think so,” John Watson said, “I’m John Watson” he held out his hand.

“Sophia Jane!” Sophia shook John’s hand.

“Now tonight we will prepare you for your first mission, some simple initiation” Director instructed, “you will first get your uniform, then get your supplies and then you need to report to Communications.”

“Let’s go!” Sophia took John by the hand and ran dragged him out the room.
