"John."
His voice was like a whisper in the darkness to John, and his frightened heart was searching for an answer. Anything that would give the slightest sign of his best friend's survival. Survival? As if Sherlock would actually survive that incident, he hadno pulse. If he is still alive, oh boy if he is, he would bother John about how bored he is or how we don't have milk just to lure John into the flat. Did Sherlock crave his existence? Like the nicotine patches he covered himself with? He wouldn't let a single person threaten or tamper John's existence. It was almost as if John was Sherlock's defenseless kitten, despite John saving Sherlock countless times. He shot a man to save him! What if Sherlock disappeared, for too long? Long enough to miss a thrilling case or a desperate chase. He would return eventually, right? Oh right, from the dead because last time John remembered the bloody idiot jumped off of a sixty-foot building. Sherlock could not make it through the day without his trusty doctor. It was a statement set in stone, a doctor and the world's only consulting detective would just solve cases, save lives, but also end them.
"John."
John paused, his breath held in his throat. His eyes were tearing-up; taking the blunt of the sleepless nights John has had to endure silently. His eyes scanned the room, in search of a spark of hope. He glanced at the last remaining object in the room and he found it.
"Sherlock?" John franticly whispered, his hands shivering.
No answer. No little hints or clues, not anything for John to cling to. Except for Sherlock's coat. The coat Sherlock always wore, wherever he went. Even during that one time they solved a difficult case and they giggled like children about it later, like it was a big joke. Sherlock's sudden disappearance had not been a joke, as much as John tried to shove it off his wounded shoulder. It has been several times that-
"John."
The voice echoed throughout the flat again, and it was the familiar tone of Sherlock Holmes.
