Help, I Need Somebody Drabbles
Anderson Snubbed
John and Sherlock walk into the Homicide department of Scotland Yard for the first time after rejuvenating themselves back to their adult-selves. As they walk through the doors all the police officers on the department floor turn to stare at them. Sherlock flashes them a quick smile and winds his way over to Donovan's desk. The only person who had ignored their entry. 'How was last night?'
'Last night?' Sally queries.
'Don't act stupid Sally, it doesn't suit you. How was last night?'
'What happened last night?'
'None of your business Anderson.' John says bitterly before softening his tone. 'Go on then Sally.'
'It was interesting.' She says carefully. Sherlock's eyes gleam.
'Go on.'
'Err, no.' Sherlock raises his eyebrows.
'Sherlock, leave it.' John says. Sherlock pouts.
'But Mycroft won't tell us.'
'And you wonder why.' John mutters. 'Come on we've got an appointment.' Sherlock scowls but leaves Sally alone to follow his brother. As soon as the two of them close the door of their father's office, Anderson makes his way over to Sally.
'Piss off Anderson.' She says not looking up from her work.
'Who's Mycroft?' Sally looks up at the man looming over her
'What?'
'Who's this Mycroft?' Sally glances over at the window of Greg's office. She sees the detective inspector and his elder son watching the two of them frowning.
'Anderson, it's none of your business who I see.'
'I thought you loved me.'
'I lusted for you. Big difference. I love him, always have.'
'Who is he?' A steel edge creeps into the forensic officer's eyes.
'A far better man than you will ever be.' A figure enters the department unnoticed by either of them and watches the two them argue.
'A far better man than I will ever be.' Anderson parrots. 'What does that actually mean?'
'It means I am a man who respects his partner.' Sally and Anderson's head snap round to look at Mycroft. 'Hello Sally.' Sally blushes slightly prompting Mycroft to smile slightly. 'Mr Anderson, I presume.'
'Who the hell are you?' Anderson snaps.
'I am Mycroft, in case you hadn't worked that out.'
'Mycroft who?' Mycroft smiles his slightly creepy smile.
'Mycroft.' a whine comes from the door of Greg's office
'What?'
'You're keeping secrets from me.'
'I wonder why.' Mycroft murmurs to himself.
'Myc.' Sally admonishes him before sidling up to him. 'Anderson, he is the British government, therefore a boss of us.' Anderson glowers at the two of them. Mycroft cautiously places an arm around her shoulders.
'Finally.' Sherlock breathes. 'Ow, John.'
'Who. Are. You?' Anderson demands. The two Holmes' share a conspiratorial look.
'Don't be mean you two.' Greg says from behind Sherlock.
'Sherlock is my younger brother. If I were you, I would be very careful about what you say next, Mr Anderson.' Mycroft inspects the end of his umbrella before locking gazes with Anderson. Anderson opens and closes his mouth like a goldfish. Everyone looks at him with looks of varying degrees of amusement, disgust and disbelief.
'You're… his brother.' He finally manages to say.
'I have two brothers, Anderson.' Sherlock says rather snidely. 'Mycroft and John.' Anderson spins to stare at the three at the door of Greg's office.
'John? Doctor John? Him?'
'Yes. Me.' John says. 'Got a problem with that?' Anderson shakes his head dumbly. John folds his arms. 'A warning in advance. Don't ever insult my brother. I will not hold back.' He glances at his watch. 'I've got to be at the clinic. Will you be okay?'
'I'll be fine John.' Sherlock says watching Mycroft whisper something in Sally's ear.
'Allow me to give you a lift John.'
'Thanks Mycroft.' Sherlock's two half brother leave the department forcing Sally return to her desk. Greg indicates for her join Sherlock and he in his office, saving her from Anderson. She breathes a sigh of relief and follows the two men into the office closing the door behind her ignoring Anderson's attempts to get her attention again.
A/N:- Next time... Greg is kidnapped - reactions form Sally, John and Sherlock.
Oh, and this one was requested by Frecks who wanted a little of the Mycroft/Sally pairing
