Unknown POV

I'm sitting in my big library in my plush leather chair when one of my minions walks in and says "S- sir?"

He's scared immediately putting me on edge there is no way he is bringing me good news but I don't let my unease show. I've been in this gig for awhile now I know not to show even a hint of weakness.

I don't look up from my phone when I snap at him in my irish accent "What do you want?"

"I-It worked sir. Sherlock was fooled." He says from the doorway.

"Yes of course it worked why wouldn't it?" I say my voice daring him to test my authority.

"No reason Sir. Just thought you would like to know...." He trails of at the end of his sentence.

"What did you really come to tell me?" I ask getting annoyed with his ignorance.

"Well S-sherlock was fooled b-but they found a girl who can see through our t-tampering." He says quietly obviously terrified of what my response would be."

"WHAT!" I yell in outrage shooting out of my chair pinning him to the wall by his neck books falling to the ground at the impact.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" I yell again.

"T-they f-found a g-girl who can deduce the b-bodys even when Sherlock c-can't. She is n-not fooled by the c-changes we make." He stammered in fear.

"Who." I say with cold fury.

"Loren F-Fate." He says.

I let go of his neck and start to pace thinking out loud "Loren Fate? Why does that name sound familiar?"

My minions weak voice say "She is that teenage hacker you had your eyes on. The one that hacked the all radio stations to play static for a whole week before they stopped her."

"Ah yes Loren Fate well I might just have to pay our little hacker friend a visit." I say smirking to myself.

Oh this is going to be fun. Welcome Loren welcome my Great Game!

Loren's POV

"Loren! You get down here this bloody minute!" I hear my mother yell from downstairs probably drunk.

I walk out of my barren room down to the living room before saying "What now mum?"

"Don't give me attitude you ungrateful slut!" Mum says backhanding me across my face.

My head snaps to the side my chea burning from where her nail cut my cheek. I take a deep breath trying to hold back tears that threaten to escape my eyes without my consent. My mum takes a mouthful of the scotch bottle she is holding not bothering to wipe it off when the liquid drips down her pail chin. Her wavy red hair is greasy from not being washed for a few days and her sickly green eyes are dull and unfeeling.

"I'm sorry mother what seems to be the matter?" I say keeping my head down hoping not to provoke her.

"I'll tell you what's the matter. Somehow your damn father found out you exist and now want to take you away from me," She says getting angrier with each word until she pushes me down and kicks me in the gut yelling at me "You did this didn't you! You can't appreciate what I've given you! Well I am not going to lose you because your father would treat you to well. You don't deserve that. You! Deserve! Pain!" She punctuated each word with a kick cause in me to cry out in agony despite my attempts not to.

After my last scream I hear someone banging on the door yelling frantically "Loren! Loren are you okay? Loren let me in!"

My mom doesn't notice who is obviously Lestrade and kicks me again causing me to whimper then I hear "That's it Loren I'm coming in!"

There is a loud bang from the front door as it bangs against the wall having been kicked in by Greg. Mom still doesn't acknowledge his presents until he comes barreling into her knocking her to the ground and handcuffing her. I slowly sit up ignoring the burning feeling all over my abdomen.

"Bloody hell Loren! Are you okay?" Greg says rushing over to me after calling for more officers to take mum in to jail.

I push away his hands and stand on my own saying "I'm fine. I've dealt with worse believe me."

He stands there awkwardly for a few minutes before saying "Go collect some of your stuff the others will be here soon for Violet."

"And I would pack up my stuff because...?" I ask him.

"Well as your er... Father, since Violet is going to jail for abuse I guess that makes me your guardian now so you'll be living with me," He says smiling brightly at me slightly blushing before quickly saying "that is of course if it's okay with you?"

"Fine with me I guess but don't worry I'm not expecting it to be permanent I know in a few days you'll regret having me there so I won't get to attached." I say walking up the stairs cringing at the pain each step brings.

"I won't regret it Loren you're my daughter. I've always wanted a kid." He says smiling up at me from downstairs as I walk into my room.

I walk into my room grabbing my empty backpack to put my stuff in. I grab all four pairs of jeans that I own besides the ones I have on right now, eight of my favorite shirts, underwear, bras, socks, and a tonne of books. That's it all of my stuff and it all fits in one regular sized backpack. I walk back down stairs to see Greg on the phone with someone and Luke walking my mom out to his car.

I look at Greg and meet his weary eyes but there is a flash of excitement and foreboding in them. Interesting.

He hangs up after saying good bye then said to me "Looks like we'll be taking a little detour before we make it to my house. How do you feel about-"

I cut him off saying "I would love to start my first case now."

He chuckles then says "okay then come on let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I jump out of Greg's car when we stop at the crime scene which is in the forest. I stop for a second to get my bearings and clear my thoughts while Greg just walks straight into the crime scene.

When I try to get to the body and solve this case some guy stopped me saying "Sorry little girl but this is a crime scene you can't be here."

"Okay first of all who are you calling little girl I am 16 years old, secondly I am supposed to be here so if you'll excuse me." I say trying to walk around him.

"Look kid I can't let you in here so why don't you make this easier on both of us and just get out of here." The officer says blocking my way.

I open my mouth to protest but I am stopped by a familiar deep british voice from behind me saying "She's with me you idiot let her at the body."

I turn from the shocked officer to see none other than Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. When I turn back around there is no one in my way any more so I walk into the fray.

"Hay Freak!," I hear Sally shout from my left "Who you got there? Wait Devil is that you!? What are you doing with him?"

"Don't worry Sally I'm just helping with the case since Sherlock seems to be having some.... Difficulty." I say ignoring the growl from Sherlock.

As I was talking a stocky man walked up behind Sally and sneakers when I finish before saying "Sally care to introduce me?"

"Anderson." Sherlock grinds out from behind me I can instantly tell there is no love lost between them.

"Phillip this is the Devil or you may have heard of her Loren Fate." Sally says.

"So you're the girl who showed our favorite psychopath up I have a feeling we are going to get along well." Phillip Anderson says.

Sherlock grabs my arms and pulls me deeper into the crime scene mumbling something about Phillips face and london's IQ. I tune out Sherlock as we arrive at the body or what's left of it that is. It's completely mangled and at first glance it looks like a wild animal attack them but I have my douts.

"This is such a simple case Lestrade why am I here?" Sherlock asks Greg.

"Sherlock I thought you might want to er.... You know practice deducing a murder before Moriarty kills again." He says.

Sherlock huffs and says "Fine. Clearly this hiker was not prepared and so when an animal came looking for food it attacked killing him. Further information would be useless well besides the fact that the animal then went in that direction." Pointing to his right where there are signs of disruption.

I look closer at the body as the men talk about how to capture the animal then I spot it. It's to perfect the cuts to precise the evidence of the animal to clean. This was not an animal this was a murder a very well planned and well executed murder to. I look around and in the opposite direction as the animal tracks lead the earth is tightly packed obviously someone walked that way but then covered it up.

I smirk not looking up from the body as I say "You won't find the animal anywhere not in a million years."

"You may not be able to but I can." Sherlock says to me.

"Well that would be a good trick considering there is no animal to find." I say looking at Greg, John, and Sherlock.

Sherlock narrowed his eyes at me as he says "What are you rambling on about Loren?"

"Once again Sherlock you are severely mistaken in your assumptions," I say now every ones attention is on me "This is no random animal attack this is a cold calculated murder. The so called 'animal scratches' are far too controlled and the path the animal left is way too clean cut. And if you were to look carefully for one minute you would see the obvious evidence of a human more specifically a man of walking in the opposite direction then covering his tracks. If we follow the trail he left it leads us to...," I trail off paying attention to the evidence people following my movement with there eyes too shocked to move. Finally at the end of the end of the trail I look up and see the one thing I was waiting for I smirk and call out "Hey you guy might want to see this."

That snaps Sherlock, John and Greg out of their shock and sends them running over to me.

"Oh bloody hell." Greg says as we stare at the note carved into a thick tree trunk.

Sherlock, Sherlock, Sherlock. I told you I would burn you and I just lit the match have fun being ordinary.
