Sherlock, shelter, chapter 2.
( Roxanne is a character I made up, she is Sherlock's younger sister, she's about 18 years old and has the same deduction skills as her brothers, yet she is more sociable than them, if you want to know more about her…and her dog…read my story 'relative with a warning' thanks!)
P.s this chapter is a bit boring as I want to keep the chapters small so I cut it in half sorry
John couldn't find Sherlock. Anywhere. He didn't think Sherlock would go straight home so he checked Barts morgue first, every floor every room. Nowhere.
"Ah! Mike, have you seen Sherlock? Has he been here or…?"
"No, I haven't seen him john why, have you lost him?" mike laughed
"In more ways than one I dread" john sighed as he walked away
He decided to check the flat, to see if he had turned up there, left a note, anything.
He ran up the stairs and into the living room, Roxanne is sitting on the floor, her black greyhound x german shepherd (just imagine a lanky, skinny looking german Shepard) is sitting next to her, both of them wearing plastic experiment goggles and turn to look at him as he bursts into the room.
"Is sherlo-"
"He's not here doc, he text me 'I'm not coming back to the flat yet, don't tell john where I am'"
John stared at her "okay, so, where is he?"
She smiled and shrugged, "he didn't tell me"
"Well, he text you 'don't tell him where I am' so..."
"exactly, he's In a state, you saw him as he walked out of that door, he's told me not to tell you but he hasn't told me where he actually is going"
"Were you- never mind, how do I know your not lying to me?"
"If I knew where he was would I be here? He is a wreck doc, if I knew where he was I would be with him, not here doing experiments, Tai go and get the printer ink for me" she said returning to the bubbling mixture in front of her while taio ran over to the printer
"I said printer INK not printer TAIO NO- good boy!" the dog had been tugging at the cord of the printer before grabbing up the glass bottle next to him and dropping it in Roxanne's hand. She patted him and poured it in the mixture, it stopped bubbling and instead turned a bright icy blue colour and then it turned into ice. Blue ice, with flecks of green.
I turned away and decided to call Mycroft; he should know where Sherlock was.
"Sorry, john but he completely disappeared, I have know knowledge on his whereabouts"
"But you always know where he is, how could he have slipped past you?" john meant 'you' as in your cameras and spy's and private army he didn't doubt he had.
"The same way Roxanne has, you still haven't seen her have you?"
John looked over his shoulder at Roxanne who was now teaching taio how to use a Bunsen burner, the dog was sitting quietly watching her and wagging his tail, before turning the Bunsen burner on and winking at john in the way it did.
"Uh no, not since the last time you asked" he lied
"That is a pity…"
"Uh, Mycroft, if you do find him, you will, you will tell me where he is, won't you?"
"That john, depends on the state in which I find him in"
He hung up.
