"where is he?!" said Mycroft as he sits at his desk looking through all the webcams and getting no luck. He tries one more time until he gives in and sits back in his chair and sighs "he is not going to be happy about this" all of the sudden a tall, skinny man came busting into his office with anger across his face. Mycroft knew this was going to happen and sat up straight and waited.
"where is he!" the man shouted at him
"now Sherlock do behave, he might of gone on holiday or was seeing his family" Mycroft said looking at Sherlock. They knew that wasn't the case and that john has fully disappeared.
"we both know that's not true Mycroft. You were supposed to keep an eye on him, he can of just dissapeard without being seen!" Sherlock shouted while walking around the room. A knocking sound came from the office door and anthea walked in
"yes anthea?" Mycroft said and anthea looked at him and then at Sherlock
"you both might want to see this" anthea walked up to mycrofts laptop and pushed few buttons till it landed on last night in the living room of 221b. both Sherlock and Mycroft watched very closely.
"anthea nothing is happening here" said Mycroft as he is about to get up
"no wait sir, right about now" and Mycroft sits back down and watches as a young woman and a old man came out of no where into the living room.
"what the?"
"shhh just watch sir" anthea told Mycroft as he nods and carrys on watching.
John comes running down the stairs and talks to them both then runs back upstairs and a minute later the woman and the old man were talking again then the woman flicked a piece of paper out of her hand and walked up the stairs following john. No more then two minutes and they are back down stairs with john carrying a suitcase and then some sort of portal opened up and the old man and john was gone leaving the woman by her self.
Anthea paused the clip and Mycroft sits back while Sherlock stood up processing what happened right infront of him
"maybe is was a hoax of something?" Mycroft said but Sherlock shook his head
"wait but theres more" anthea looks at Sherlock "and its for you" anthea plays the clip and puts the sound on it so they can all hear
The woman turns towards the camera and picks it up then puts it on the table infront of sherlocks chair as she sits down in it. The camera can see her close and fully now as she starts to talk.
"I know you were watching or have just watched that scene but let me assure you that john has not been kidnapped or anything like that. He was willing to go where I said for him to go. It was his choice so before you start to follow me or look me up you wont because I don't even exsist anymore. Now let me tell you Sherlock I know you are alive, I know that you are watching this at your brothers place but let me tell you if you had the chance of continuing living hell for the rest of your life, no friends or family, no one to talk to. Or going back home, where you started where you don't remember anything of what happened and go on journeys, have friends and family to talk to, live a happy life, which one would you choose? (she starts to get up but stops half way and sits back down) If you want more answers then come home Sherlock holmes.
She winked then the camera switched off and everyone looked at each other, mostly at Sherlock.
"your going to go aren't you?" Mycroft asks
"of course she seems interesting"
"Anthea tell me more about her" anthea sighs
"theres not much. For the past week her and john have been seeing each other. No one accuatly know who she is."
Sherlock started to walk over to the door
"Sherlock what are you doing? You are not seriously thinking about going over there" Mycroft stood up and stared at his brother who stared back with determination in his face.
"im going to get john back no matter the cost" Sherlock opened the door and paused
"but you don't know anything about her and what she can do"
"all I know is that I want answers and she will give them to me. no matter what" Sherlock slams the door shut and heads over to his flat. Leaving Mycroft and anthea to watch and listen on the cameras.
The door to 221b baker street slammed shut to let anyone know that Sherlock is back home. He takes in the flat, just as it was when he left it. Nothings changed. He sighed and made his way up to known well staircase to reach his and johns flat…well just his now. He opened the door and walked into the same sitting room that hasn't changed one bit. His skull still on the mantle piece, his violin still in the case by his chair and the smily face still on the wall. The only thing that has changed is his experiments have been thrown out and his equipment stored in a box. He turns towards the figure sitting in johns chair and makes his was over to sit in his chair. He looked at her all the time not letting his gaze wonder off. He finally sits down and the girl stares at him waiting for him to say something. Sherlock takes a deep breath and asked the most important question.
"where is john?!" the girl smirked and sat back in the chair looking at Sherlock. He started to become annoyed so he asked again "where is john!" he nearly shouted at her. Her smirk was off her face and she sat forward looking at Sherlock with determination and sadness in her eyes.
"he is back home" she says softly
"where is his home?"
"in a place where nothing makes sence, where there are no rules to be followed and no cars or streets. Where everyone is different and nobody is the same"
"what does that mean"
"hes in another world Sherlock, where not everyone is human, where there is dwarfs, elves, goblins, hobbits" Sherlock stared in shock
"I didn't think no place existed"
"well there is and your john is from there"
"but how?" Sherlock asked filling with couriosity at this new place
"me" she plainly says sitting back, he stared at her
"how?"
"you're a bit confused today arnt you, I thought you knew all the answers" she smirked
"not this one" her smirked died down
"john was originally a hobbit. He was called Bilbo baggins. He and few dwarfs and a wizard that you saw in that tape last night went on an adventure and saved the dwarfs kingdom. After that they kept finding new adventures, helping people but something happened. In the last adventure they came up along with a man, who we wernt sure what kind of species he was or who he is. They all went up against him, fighting, killing his army and in the end they got caught. That man shot Bilbo or your john and the only way to save him was to put him into another world where he can get help, where he would be living again. So I froze everyone there and made my way to Bilbo, your john, and said to him if he wanted to go and he said yes so I did but we made a deal. Now johns been living here, new life, new background history, new memory. I was going to send him back but then you came along and you made him happy so I gave him more time to be with you and see how It goes until you died and well presto he's back home"
Sherlock took all of this in and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. John has always been there to help people even before him, the army!
"What was the deal?"
"That if he ever became so miserable or about to take his own life or anything like that then I would take him back"
Sherlock thought about it all and became confused and sad. Had his death really affected john enough to commit sucide or made him depressed? Sherlock put his head in his hands and thought of an idea on how to get john back and looks back up to her.
"can I see him?"
"what?"
"can you take me to him?" she thought about this for a while and stared at Sherlock
"I can but theres one slight problem"
"whats that?"
"tell me what are you wanting to do once you see him?" she asked and Sherlock sighed thinking this over. He took a breath and began to answer
"I would tell him I was sorry about everything and that im not really dead. I would let him punch me and take all of his sadnedd and anger on me. I would tell him to come back home with me and he will say yes and we will carry on as before" she said and she looked at him with a disapproving frown and shook her head
"im sorry but that's not good enough"
"what?"
"I mean yeah its good enough to go but not good enough to bring him back. There has to be a reason for him to come back." Sherlock thought really hard and before he answerd, she answerd for him
"he doesn't want to come back and carry on doing this. Well he does but like this"
"what do you mean?"
"what do you feel for john, Sherlock?" she asked and his eyes widened as he thought nobody could see his emotions or how he feels about his doctor and he wasn't going to bring them out now but seeing it as it might be the only way to bring john back he sighed
"I feel empty when he's not here. When he's not running by my side on a case. I miss the way he tells me to eat and sleep and caring for me. I hate it when he goes on dates with those stupid women and I don't see the reason why he needs to. I would do anything for him, I would eat, sleep and I would even die for him. If my death prevented him getting killed I would. That's why I did it. To help save mrs Hudson, Lestrade lifes but most importantly johns. I cant imagine a world without him. i….i love him" he winced as he let everything out to this stranger who just sat there and smiled and nodded. She jumped up and held her hand out to him. He grabbed her hand and stood up
"I think that would do mr holmes" she nodded and he did in response "oh and before we go there is some things you should know. John is called Bilbo, he is a hobbit and he will mostly be with the dwarfs. Don't be cocky or make thorin made, the head dwarf of the group. Gandalf is the wizard and if ever you need me to shout rose and ill be there"
"rose? Is that your name?"
"no, now are you ready" Sherlock nodded and she touched his shoulder with her other hand and closed her eyes. All of a sudden there was a biright flash and they are not in the flat anymore.
Mycroft and anthea both stare in shock and look at each other
"so my brother really does have feelings but for a certain doctor"
"what should we do?"
"nothing, im sure my brother can handle this, we will just have to wait till he gets back"
Anthea nodded and went back to her desk leaving Mycroft alone to sit and wait
