Chapter Four
"Sherlock Holmes?" I said, "Now I've heard a lot of crazy but-"
"Ssshhhh, Amy." The Doctor uttered, his lips forming the words slowly as if dealing with something delicate, fragile. "Mr. Holmes we would like to talk to you about the, ah, disappearances."
"The disappearances?" John says looking intrigued, "And who are you to want to know anything about these disappearances, Mr. Bowtie."
"I," He responded, smiling, "Am the Doctor."
John threw a nervous glance to Sherlock, who quietly responded, "He's not lying."
"Of course I'm not," The Doctor said, cheerily, "I never lie-"
"Lier." Sherlock muttered.
"I almost never lie," The Doctor retorted, keeping a smile I knew was fake.
"But the question remains, Doctor, what do you want to know about the disappearances." Sherlock, responded sounding tired and just a tad bit intrigued.
The Doctor scratches his head, "Well, um, a few things-"
"Well, I must warn you in advance, we barely know anything about them," John said.
"Well, all I need to know is the location."
"What?" Sherlock asked, "Why would you need to know that? They all took place at different sites, and the...the police they have scoured every inch and...and found nothing. There is nothing there!"
"I would assume not, but do tell, is there a place where most of these people of vanished from? A sort of center?" The Doctor asked.
"B...Bu...Wh...What?" Sherlock said his head whipping between the Doctor and John. "It's...ahh-"
"Highgate Cemetery." John said looking at his feet. "They all seem to be centered around Highgate Cemetery."
"Great, thank you, kudos!" The Doctor said his face widening.
"Right…" Rory said, "Well, we best be off, um, thank you."
"Wait!" John said, as we start to walk away.
"Yes?" I say.
"You can't just leave!"
"Yes. Yes they can," Sherlock said, "But we're coming with you."
"Oh. No, no, I don't think that's a very good idea." Rory said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, we do work with the police, so unless you feel like being arrested today, I suggest you let us come with you."
The Doctor opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him by saying, "Fine. Fine, you can come with us. We'll see you outside in five minutes. But first," I turn to Rory and the Doctor and look them square in the eye, "I think I left something in the flat."
