Hey, everyone, I am SO sorry this took so long; I meant to have it up Monday – one week from the last update. But I'm in my final week of the semester and I hit snag. I mixed up the dates of couple of my final assignments and wound up having a 7 page paper due in 2 days. And I hadn't even started it yet. So I had to cram and get that done first before I could even think about fanfiction. But hey, at least I did get this posted before Sunday. :D

So hope you enjoy!

This week: Lestrade had always said Sherlock Holmes would be a good man one day. But maybe it'll be a bit sooner than he realizes.


"I'm sorry, sir, we don't give out patient information to non-family members; it's against policy. You'll have to wait."

Lestrade was sure he had never met a more infuriating, taciturn nurse in his life. He was also certain he had never seen Sherlock this state of furious before.

"I do not care what your policy is." Sherlock snarled with glare. "I demand to know John Watson's status. Now!"

"Well when he's assigned a room, then you can go and see his status for yourself. Until then, I guess you'll just have to wait." She offered him an overly cheery smile, turned on her heel and stalked away.

Sherlock let out an actual growl and Lestrade had to snatch him by the arm to keep him from charging after the woman.

"Sherlock, starting a fight with the nurse will get you nowhere."

Sherlock gave a huff but at least he changed course and went back to the sitting room to start up his pacing again.

Greg stared after him, honestly a bit baffled. He'd seen Sherlock angry before. The man was often furious with the better part of the yard. But this was a bit different; there was something beyond the ire – worry. Sherlock Holmes – Mr. No Sentiment himself – was actually worried. To the point of being frantic even.

It was an emotion Lestrade had yet to see the younger man express for…well, anyone.

Though, unlike most, it was something Greg had been sure Sherlock was capable of. He'd never bought that whole "high functioning sociopath" bit.

He'd meant what he'd said to John, Sherlock was a great man and he really did believe that one day he could be a good one. Ironically enough, John Watson may just be the one to make him into that good man yet.


So leave me a review, let me know what you think!

Also, just so everyone knows, I've changed the word limit on my drabbles from 250 to 300 as I can't seem to shut up when I'm supposed to and ramble on longer than I intend. :P
