Chapter Twenty Eight - The Professor.
I took Juniper out of the lab and we quickly cleaned up the office.
"I don't understand. If he knew that he would get caught why would he do this?" She asked sliding the bookshelf back into place.
"He wanted to get Sherlock and My attention." I say shoving the books back into the shelf.
" Look June, I don't know who I can trust right now. Can this stay between you and I?" I sigh.
"Yeah of course!" She agrees.
"Thanks so much. I'll be right back. If I'm not back by the time Liem is back I need you to cover for me." I said quietly heading to my bedroom and putting on my coat and socks. I grab the samples and head out to the door.
"Okay. Oh and miss Keyland?" Juniper asks.
"Yeah?"
"Be safe." She smiles.
I pulled her in for a hug.
"I will be." I promise.
I ran out the door to my car. As I get out onto the road, I finally let out the emotions I had been holding in. Tears stream down my face. As I got further out and there was nobody around, I pulled over and screamed till I lost my voice. After a few deep breaths I pulled myself together and pulled back onto the road.
It took me half an hour to get to the professor's house. I wasn't concerned with what it looked like or being polite really, I knew Moriarty would be faster than I could. An overwhelming sense of urgency was growing within me.
I knocked.
The door opened.
"Miss McLaughlin. I've been expecting you. Come in." The mas says smoothly.
"How did you-" I start.
"Your mother called me. She has a camera in the office you see." He smiles warmly.
"Ah I do see." I say.
"So how may I help you?" The man asks.
"I have a substance I need analyzed." I state.
"Then let's waste no time then, My lab is this way." He said, briskly walking off.
I followed the man down a hallway to a very neat Laboratory.
"So Miss, What is your guess as to what the substance is?"
"I honestly have no idea. But I need an answer to what it is as soon as possible." I state.
"It should take me no longer than a week." He smiles.
"Thank you so much Sir."
"Anything for your mother miss. Now you should hurry back. It would be suspicious if you stay out longer." He says seriously.
"Really thanks." I smile heading out the door.
I got into my car and noticed a black cat crossing the street in front of me.
I continued to drive despite my headache, when to my surprise I saw a man standing in the middle of the road I served around him. I screamed. However when I looked back onto the road he was gone. A bit shaken I made my way back to the house.
