Chapter Text
It was in the holodeck. Brad Boimier was inside a Sherlock Homes program. Beckett Mariner was with him. She was dressed as Sherlock Homes, while Boimer was dressed as John Walton.
“Do you know what you’re doing, Beckett?” asked Boimier. He thought that doing a Sherlock Homes program was a bad idea. Things can go wrong in a program like that.
“You need to stop worrying. Nothing bad is going to happen. If it does, I can handle it. I’m the one who programmed it,” answered Beckett Brad remembered all the stuff that Beckett has handled.
“OK, let’s get it done”, said Brad, giving up. He knew that when Beckett want to do something, you can’t talk her out of it.
“Come on. Let’s start the game,” said Beckett. She ran too fast for Brad to catch up. Soon, he lost her. He tried to look for her, but he couldn’t find her.
‘Where could she be?’ thought Brad. She could be in trouble. Then, he remembered that Beckett told him that she could handle anything thrown to her. He calmed down. All he has to do, is to wait for her to finish her adventure. He saw a chair at a cafe, and sat down. A little later, Tendi arrived at the chair where Brad was sitting.
“Do you know where Beckett is? I went into this holodeck to join in this adventure and couldn’t find her,” said Tendi. She was dressed as a lady of London of the 1880s. The people of this program see her having the same skin color as they do.
“I have no idea on where she is. Since this is her program, I decided to wait until she finishes her adventure, explained Brad. Tendi begin to see that Brad isn’t too worried about Beckett.
“She might be in trouble. I saw a dried bloodstain on the way here. I don’t know who it belonged to,” said Tendi. He could tell by her worried tone, that Tendi is very worried about this program. He got up and off his chair. He might have well played along.
“Beckett Mariner can handle anything that this program can thrown at her. If it make you better, we will search for her in this program,” promised Brad. So, Brad and Tendi went to search for her. To be continued.
