221b Baker Street Flat Novels & Stories

Looking around, I found some comfortable flats to wear with my clothing. Sighing to myself, I made my way back downstairs, knowing that it was inevitable to talk to Teddy. Before getting to the door, I glanced into the living room at the clock. The time read two forty five. I was late to the bank appointment, hopefully I could make it before the manager left. I stepped quickly into the kitchen and got a muffin to snack on, I was going to miss eating lunch. I grabbed an extra to give to the unwanted guest as well. “Hi..” I said awkwardly to Teddy as I opened the door.

My Dad nodded, but he didn’t pause me to ask questions or comment. “Turns out, the address was for that old hotel, The Heath. Only it’s been renovated – into flats, I think.” “It would make sense.” His face closed up. “A big building, on the far side of town. We’ve been reducing our patrols in that area. Fools, the lot of us.” “Yeah. Yeah, it was foolish. But I didn’t see anything, and I couldn’t get in.” “You couldn’t pick the lock?” “It was a fob entryway.”

“Which apartment?” “Third floor. 3B.” Margaret's voice shook. Three of them climbed the stairs together. Amelia’s arm still looped through her grandmother’s, Adrian a step ahead. The door to 3B stood open, the frame splintered around the lock, inside, the apartment told its own story in fragments…. An overturned chair, a shattered mug on the kitchen floor, a phone left behind on the counter, its screen still lit with an unanswered call from a number Amelia didn't recognize.

But the awful episode of two nights ago might just have done that already. It is a twenty-two-minute ride on the overground train, and when I emerge from the Hackney Central station at 10:39pm, I am completely exhausted. I barely manage the ten-minute walk, trudging up the stairs like I have lead in my boots. As I round the corner of the hallway leading to their apartment, I see a light skinned girl with bright red lipstick walk out the door. She is carrying a bag and I can tell she has been there a while. Our eyes meet as we walk past each other, and I can’t help but wonder who she was there to see. In the months since I have been in London, I could have sworn I’ve met all the women, signif

In my mind, the pieces were aligned: Diana discovered, Diana eliminated, I have finally secure. I sat back down at my desk, the city’s late-afternoon glow spilling across my paperwork. My heart raced, but my face was calm….almost serene. I opened the encrypted chat with my private investigator and tapped out a new message: Use the address on Sweet Bite Bakery’s business page: 127 Main Street, Suite 12. Tonight. No witnesses. In through the service door off the alley behind the shop. Move immediately. My fingers hovered for a moment over the “send” button. Then I pressed it, watching the “delivered” checkmark blink to life.

It costs a bomb to heat this flat, and it’s all whooshing out the door. Once she’d shut the door there was a faintly awkward pause. The hall was more like a cupboard, and had been horribly dark when she’d bought the flat, but a lick of white paint had worked wonders. There was a huge aspidistra there too, called Veg, who didn’t seem to mind icy blasts. And what with three-foot-odd of Veg and six- foot-odd of Hamilton, the cupboard was more like a shoebox. ‘You seem to have shrunk,’ he observed.

“I followed her back to a flat and it’s two streets from your building, she’s been living two streets from you this entire—” “Slow down. Which building? What’s the address?” “It’s on Curzon Lane, the brown building with the blue door.” “Okay, and—” “Flat probably on the second floor because that’s where the lights came on.” “I—” “And Harrison, I swear to God if you’re not here in the next ten minutes I’m going up there myself and I don’t trust what I’ll do to her!” “I’m coming.

Amara’s POV The Asokoro flat is a concrete box on the fourth floor—bare walls, single window overlooking a narrow street lined with generators and night vendors. The AC rattles like it’s dying. The fridge hums. The vial sits on the kitchen table inside its lead-lined case—blue glow seeping around the edges like cold moonlight.
