Author's note: For some reason, this story came to me today and so I wanted to write an airport story where they meet. This story might only have 2-chapters, so I'm not sure though. Hope I didn't make any mistakes. Enjoy!


The airport was always busy as John Watson found himself in the baggage claim waiting for the bags to come out. The flight was a bit early as well as his sister, Harry Watson wouldn't be there to pick him up until one hour in Heathrow. John sighed as he hated waiting and he just wants to go home and sleep.

"Tiring day, isn't it?" A voice asked interrupting his thoughts.

John turned around to his side as he saw a tall man with curly hairs. "Yes, I suppose it is," he said with a smile.

"I guess you came for the reunion of your medical school? Judging from the way you look, you hadn't slept for a day," the man said.

"How did you know...?" John asked blinking.

The man smiled, "I always know. I wasn't there at the medical school reunion. I was somewhere else for a meeting for my brother," he said annoyed.

"You don't like your brother?" John asked.

"He always meddles into my life," the man said angrily, "he owes me a favor for doing this. I so did not want to go to that idiot stupid politician meeting," he said.

"Why didn't your brother go instead?" John asked bewildered.

"He's a fat, lazy man! Plus he thinks that someone there in that country is stealing from him," the man said seething.

"What?" John asked as he was more confused than ever.

Just then there was a loud ping as the two men looked to see what it was. "Ah! Finally they are bringing down the luggages," the man said happily but then he frowned, "stupid Mycroft won't be picking me until after an hour. He's still in a meeting," he said annoyed.

"Wait, are you talking about Mycroft Holmes? Isn't he the British Government?" John asked surprised.

"He IS the British Government and my older brother," the man explained. "Before you ask, Mycroft doesn't show his face on television. He doesn't want to be known everywhere in case someone is out there to get him," the man said with a huff.

"Wait, who the hell are you then? Is someone from Germany really stealing from Mycroft Holmes? And how'd you know that I was at a medical school reunion?" John asked, impressed.

"I hate to say this John, but your luggage is strolling away," the man said pointing as John looked and sure enough, his luggage had just passed him. John turned around to look at the man again but he was long gone.


John sighed as he sat on the bench outside of the airport as he waited for Harry to come pick him up.

Where are you? -JW

I'm on my way -HW

I just got my baggage and I'm waiting outside of the exit of the airline that I gave you. It shouldn't be hard to spot me as I'm sitting on the bench -JW

Give me 30 min. Johnny! It's a bit traffic -HW

John looked at his text annoyed. How can she text and drive at the same time? He was sure that Harry hadn't left her flat until now.

"Do you want me to bring you home?" A voice asked startling John out of his thoughts.

"You...!"

"Yes me, what about me?" The man asked as he sat down next to him and he began to text also and it wasn't hard to guess whom he was texting.

"I was talking to you a while ago and you just left!" John exclaimed.

"Yes well, I had a phone call from Mycroft. He should be here soon," the man said as he finished texting and was now looking at John.

"Wait, who were you texting now then?" He asked.

The man smiled, "You thought it was my brother?" He asked as John nodded. "I was texting Lestrade to see if there was any more cases that I could go too," the man explained.

"Wait, Gregory Lestrade from Scotland Yard? So you work for the police?" John asked.

"Actually I'm a consulting detective, the only one in the world," the man said smugly.

"What do you do anyway? You don't seem too happy about your brother," John said.

The man was about to answer until he saw a familiar black car pulling up in front. "It was nice meeting you," the man said as he got up.

"Wait a minute! I never got your name," John said quickly before the man could leave him hanging again. Out of the corner of his eye, John saw a woman coming out from the black car who was texting on her phone.

"The name is Sherlock Holmes," the man introduced himself.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Sherlock. My name is John," John said as he shook hands with Sherlock.

"Yes, now that I see it, you came from either Afghanistan or Iraq, didn't you?" Sherlock asked.

"Afghanistan...how did you..." John didn't finish as a voice interrupted him.

"Sherlock, I have a meeting to go to in two hours and I want those files that you gotten from that man that you caught down in Germany," a voice called out and John recognize that it was Mycroft's voice.

Sherlock swore under his breath, "I guess it's time to say good-bye," he said.

John nodded, "Will I see you again?" He asked hopefully.

"Oh I'm everywhere," Sherlock said and he gave a wink to John before going inside the car as the woman followed after him.

Just then, there has been a loud honking noise as John turned around and he winced. Indeed that was Harry as she waved to him happily. "See Johnny, I made it in time!" She exclaimed as John rolled his eyes and went to his sister's car so that he could finally get out off their as he was about to crash any minute.
