Just as he thought of closing it, the window disappeared from his view. He thought about the window again, and it popped up. He kept doing this repeatedly as he was trying to get used to the fact there was thus Holmes System that was now living within him.
"Just what are you? How would Sherlock be able to give something to me so profound? Is it something he was working on? Something that was not supposed to be seen in this world?', he pondered deeply and cracked into a post.
"Ow", he exclaimed as he looked at the post and back at his feet. Realized that he was lost in his thoughts and that he forgot to go in the right direction to the station. He quickly ran towards the place and right after he entered, he saw Sarah there.
"What are you doing here?", he asked her as he saw her in cuffs. And there were two other men in cuffs and had the local doctor having a look at them. One look at the three of them, and he knew that they had a scuffle.
"It's a good thing these two weren't killed like yesterday. I so want to forget all about it. much bloodshed all for a house", he thought and shuddered a little as he looked back at her. She turned her head away, and he picked up his pen and pad to record their statements.
"Ms. Robinson, I would like to know what happened?", he asked politely, allowing her to narrate her side of the story.
She began to narrate what had happened, and Jack was listening keenly.
(After Jack left the house)
Sarah looked around and couldn't find Jack anywhere. She wanted to get to know more about him, as they were both now roommates. The way he behaved this morning was oddly strange to her and wondered if that's the way he would behave all the time.
She watched him look into the air as he was walking somewhere, and she kept tailing him. She saw him walk past the police station, which she knew was where he worked. Just as she wondered where he was off to, she saw him enter the gym.
"Okay, seems like he hits this place every day before he goes to the station. Well then, let me just go back to the place and tidy it up. A woman needs her space, and I don't want him all over my things", she thought as she turned around.
That was when the two burly men appeared and bumped into her. She looked back at them and apologized for not watching where she was going, and the men took their chance.
"To the alleyway, now", said one of the burly men. The two of them walked to a nearby alleyway that was filled with cats and garbage cans around.
"These jerks are asking for it. They are making me angry, and they are about to make me kill them. I don't want to be doing this today", she thought as she looked at the two burly men.
"The apology that you gave us wasn't satisfactory. We need a very satisfactory apology, and I think you will be co-operating with us in this", he said as he looked at her.
Sarah was wearing a black tee which revealed her breasts slightly and a pair of black jeans. The way the men were ogling her disgusted her, and she felt that these men were not worthy to be alive.
"Remember to stay calm and know when to strike. The best of warriors know when to attack, and when to defend", she remembered her master's quote.
She looked around and knew that she was away from the public. She decided to use the situation to her advantage and looked around for something.
"Please don't come near me", she whimpered as she moved away from the two men, deeper into the alleyway. She was acting scared to lure them deeper into the alleyway and strike them when they were not noticing.
She went deeper and deeper into the alleyway and when she saw that all of them were out of the view of the streets, she pulled out her hands which she had hidden behind her timidly.
A punch to one of the guy's guts was all she needed to make him slow down his advance. He was shocked to see that slender woman pack a punch, and the other guy quickly put up his defenses.
He blocked the punch that was coming to his stomach and lifted his knee up to hit her, She moved skillfully away from the attack and gave a backhand slap to his face.
Both of them were enraged and were now ready to fight. "Brother, a woman hit us. We must make her pay", said one of them. The other man nodded his head and he moved to his side, ad the both of them looked rough.
"Okay, now. I must run and make it look like an accident", she thought as she looked around for a way to escape. There were two garbage cans with no lids to her right, and the lids were right at her feet.
She then looked right at them and down at the lids and devised a plan. She would throw those lids right at their noses, and make a run for the street. She smiled right after she devised the plan, and looked at the men.
"Want me? Come and get me!", she said as she looked back at them and then away into the streets. One of them rushed head in, and she quickly used her legs and lifted the cover of the bin and threw it like a frisbee right at the man's nose.
He grabbed his nose and fell to the floor on his back, and she quickly picked up the next one and threw it the same way at the other man. But he was cautious and got hold of it, and he looked at her with a smile.
He saw just her fist right at his face and got punched on the nose hard. She then tore her right sleeve off and messed her hair up. Took a small knife out of her pocket and slit a cut on her left forearm.
Then, she made a runt o the streets. That was when everyone saw her state, and one of them decided to call the cops. The two of them appeared from behind her, chasing her.
"Stop them. They are molesting me. Someone, anyone", she screamed as she ran down the street. Two random strangers stepped forward to stop them, but they were pushed to the ground. The two men kept giving chase, and she ran past the station screaming at the top of her lungs.
Two policemen popped out and gave chase, grabbing the two of them and scuffing them. They then claimed that Sarah had hit them, and that was when they looked at Sarah's state and thought that they deserved it.
But they had to follow protocol and thus, they had to detain her too.
