Chapter 1: An Unsolved Mystery
Molly was house sitting 221B Baker Street as Mrs Hudson was currently on her annual holiday cruise; Molly spent her days reading as John and Sherlock were currently away on a case that unfortunately left Molly in the dark as when they were to be home but it turned out that they were home earlier than she first thought as this case only kept them away for 3 months unlike the last which kept them both away a whole year much to Mrs Hudson' disapproval,
"Hey Molls" John greeted as he dragged two suitcases into the flat and Molly giggled,
"I don't remember you two taking luggage" she pointed out and John sighed,
"We didn't... These are full of Sherlock's notes from the case" he grumbled with a mock shudder causing Molly to giggle once again,
"Where is the great scholar?" she asked teasingly as she bookmarked her page,
"Arguing with his brother" he provided,
"What you reading?" he asked curiously as he put the kettle on and Molly smiled standing,
"It's all about an age old Russian mystery regarding a young grand duchess that went missing" she explained and didn't see how John's eyes widen in terror,
"no no no no no" he said quickly and grabbed the book before throwing it out the window and Molly looked mortified,
"John! What the hell was that for?!" she demanded angrily but John wasn't swayed,
"I have a list of mysteries not to mention in front of Sherlock and that particular mystery is at the top of said list" he said desperately and Molly rolled her eyes,
"Oh come on. Sherlock's not that bad" she said and it was then that the detective burst into the flat,
"John look! Someone threw a perfectly good book of an unsolved mystery out the window" he said almost teasingly and John smacked his hand to his face in defeat and Molly couldn't help but giggle,
"Yes Sherlock. That book would be mine... I tripped and it flew out the window" she said with a scowl aimed at John who smiled guiltily,
"Hmmmmmm I didn't know you were a fan of mysteries, Miss Hooper" he said and Molly rolled her eyes,
"I tell you all the time that I love mysteries but you always..." she tried,
"I must have Mycroft book myself and John a trip to Russia. Learing more of this mystery will be most intriguing" he said and John groaned,
"Oh come on! We just got back" he practically begged and Sherlock smiled brightly,
"I know. Isn't it wonderful?" he asked and the doctor scowled,
"That isn't what I meant" he growled and Molly frowned,
"Oh come on. I've always wanted to go to Russia and learn more about the Romanov Mystery" she said and Sherlock frowned,
"Oh I don't know, Molly. You've never liked mysteries, you might get bored" he said and Molly growled,
"I keep telling you. I love Mysteries!" she yelled and Sherlock smiled brightly,
"Well it's about time" he said causing Molly to groan and John to chuckle,
"Come on Sherlock, Let her come with us" John said but the detective frowned,
"I'm not sure..." he mumbled and Molly folded her arms,
"Можете ли вы свободно говорить по-русски, Шерлок?"
She asked and Sherlock frowned even more but John smiled brightly,
"Yeah she's coming with us" he said simply.
Yes Molly can speak Fluent Russian haha :D translation for what she said:
"Can You Speak fluent Russian, Sherlock?" :D lol
