The Sherlock Files

Cracking the Code

“Xander, you go,” said Xene.

                “What!  I can’t fit through that small opening,” marked Xander sternly.

“I can fit. Let me go,” Lucas piped in, as he started to climb through the little opening of the barrel they were investigating. “I’m in!” said Lucas, his voice sounding thrilled. 

“What do you see?” said Xander, poking his head in the barrel. 

“There is nothing in here,” said Lucas. “Oh wait!  There is some kind of a lock popped in the side of the barrel,” said Lucas happily.  Xene jumped up and down excitedly. 

What could the code be? Xene wondered.  Well what are we trying to find in this room, and why did that guy lead us here by a letter?  Bored, Xene sat down and waited for Lucas and Xander to figure out the code.

“Is it when the president was born? Or whe-,” Xander started to say, but was interrupted by Lucas’s voice.

“Is it where Sherlock Holmes was born?”  Lucas looked at Xander hopefully, because Xander loved Sherlock Holmes and always read his books.

“Try it,” said Xander not sure if it’s the code.  “What do you think, Xene?”

Xene was sitting down on a nearby barrel, still thinking of the code, “Or Xander, is it the name of the street he lived in?”  Xene said excited!

“YES, that is it!”  Xander pronounced hurriedly.  “It’s the street Sherlock Holmes lived on!”  Xander told them Sherlock’s street and then stared at the lock. 

“I got it!” Lucas said as Xander and Xene both moved in to see.  Lucas climbed in and then turned back.  “How will you guys fit in?”

Xander and Xene looked at each other and then Xene exclaimed, “We will wait out here, and then tell us what is in there.”

“It’s a room and there’s nothing in he-- Wait! I found a book.  It says-,” Lucas paused and turned to his friends.  “It’s Sherlock Holmes unsolved mysteries!”  Lucas said while running back to them and climbing out of the barrel.  The kids were so enthusiastic that they forgot they were in a room.  They went home that night looking inside that book, wondering if they could solve the unsolved mysteries.

“Well done, boys!”  Xene said, looking at the boys.  They all hugged, but at the same time they all wondered why a guy led them to that place.
