Summary: Nichole Mikaelson is the twin sister to the Original Hybrid, Niklaus. After she and her twin break the curse on them releasing their wolves Nichole or Nikki as she prefers to be called moves to London not wanting anything to do with her br...
(Sherlock just looks at him sternly as Nikki glares at him. John shakes his head as if to say, 'Silly me. What was I thinking?!')
Sherlock (to Lestrade): So where are we?
Lestrade (picking up another pair of latex gloves): Upstairs.
***Now***
(Lestrade leads the trio up a circular staircase. Nikki, Sherlock and John are wearing coveralls together with white cotton coverings over their shoes, and latex gloves. Sherlock is putting on latex gloves as they go up the stairs.)
Lestrade: I can give you two minutes.
Sherlock (casually): May need longer.
Lestrade: Her name's Jennifer Wilson according to her credit cards. We're running them now for contact details. Hasn't been here long. Some kids found her.
(He leads them into a room two storeys above the ground floor. The room is empty of furniture except for a rocking horse in the far corner. Emergency portable lighting has been set up, presumably by the police. Scaffolding poles hold up part of the ceiling near where a couple of large holes have been knocked through one of the walls. A woman's body is lying face down on the bare floorboards in the middle of the room.)
(She is wearing a bright pink overcoat and high-heeled pink shoes. Her hands are flat on the floor either side of her head. Sherlock walks a few steps into the room and then stops, holding one hand out in front of himself as he focuses on the corpse. Behind him, Nikki leaned against the wall opposite of the woman's body, John looks at the woman's body and his face fills with pain and sadness. The four of them stand there silently for several long seconds, then Sherlock looks across to Lestrade.)
Sherlock: Shut up.
Lestrade (startled): I didn't say anything.
Sherlock: You were thinking. It's annoying.
(Nikki laughed while Lestrade and John exchange a surprised look as Sherlock stepped slowly forward until he reaches the side of the corpse. His attention is immediately drawn to the fact that scratched into the floorboards near the woman's left hand is the word "Rache". His eyes flick to her fingernails where the index and middle nails are broken and ragged at the ends, the pink nail polish chipped in stark comparison to her other nails which are still immaculate. The woman's index finger rests at the bottom of the 'e' as if she was still trying to carve into the floor when she died. Sherlock makes an instant deduction:
left handed)
(He looks back to the word carved into the floorboards and an immediate suggestion springs into his mind:
RACHE German (n.) revenge)
(Instantly he shakes his head in a tiny dismissive movement and the suggestion disappears. He looks at the carved word again and overlays the five letters with a clearer type. Next to the 'e' a rapid progression of letters appear and disappear as he tries to complete the word, then the correct letter settles into place to form the word:
Rachel)
