Watson glanced over his shoulder briefly. "Did anybody else pass by here?"

The sailor shakes his head no, "Not that I'm aware of."

Watson nodded once in thanks before briskly making his way down to the docs.

(I promise things will get more intresting just humor me for now.)

The Dawn Moves was docked where the sailor said only it was fully manned even though it was being repaired. Near the Dawn Moves by a stack of crates a man watches the Dawn Moves and noticing a small detail on the ship. A faint banging not from the hammers or other repairs.
"Watson I suggest we find out what that ship is carrying and we might just find our missing person."

"There you are!" John exclaimed instead. "You couldn't have told me you intended to come here before sending me off?"

"I wasn't going too but I saw the captain going back to his ship looking even more agitated then before. I've been down here enough to know about his temperment and that he is known for smuggling," Sherlock explains, "I'm sorry if I lead you astray."

"That's alright, I about expected it. Besides, it wasn't all bad. The boy from earlier found me with a message from Anderson. 'The dawn moves to light the way'."

"Anderson," Sherlock asks, "Also what boy? I didn't send anyone to find you."
The same boy from eariler ran by quiet quickly heading towards the Dawn Moves.

John gestured towards the kid as he darted past. "That boy."

Sherlock watches the child run, "Umm he's quiet fast isn't he? Maybe we can use him to get onto the ship. The question is how?"
