I don't own BBC Sherlock, they are the creative works of Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and of course the wonderful Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sorry for not updating, I've been rather ill over the last two, almost three weeks. Now its Camp Nano and I am taking part once more. Writing Four fics this time. The Harsh Reality Sequel, A HP/S xover, and two Sherlock Fics. I am hoping to be able to update a few of the fics during April, but no promises on all of them.


Overcoming Betrayal

Chapter Seven

Sherlock walked towards New Scotland Yard and looked to the right for a moment and nodded his head. Anthea was standing there, serenely tapping away into her new phone. She looked up at him and gave a sweet smile as she pulled out a large folder from a bag that was hanging off her shoulder. She handed it over to him and stood there for a moment.

"There is more to come on Ian Hudson. He has a long record, and has hidden it well. Martha Hudson, is who she appears to be and has no real connection to what is going on. She makes sure that they children under her care are very well looked after. All of them are happy from what my sources have been able to gather," Anthea told him, he had phoned her earlier to make a request to look into the Hudson family and had done so over the last hour.

"What else on Ian Hudson?" he asked her as he took the folder and waited.

"He has connections to an adoption agency in the states that also have an office here in London. The children are adopted only after the age of around twelve or thirteen. As soon as they are adopted, they are no longer in any system that we can find. We've been able to trace three of those that had been adopted out of the five that we know of, we are carrying on doing so to trace the others. All the information is in the folder," she told him.

Sherlock nodded his head and looked to her, "Thank you for your assistance," he told her.

"Welcome Mr Holmes," she nodded as she turned to leave and then stopped, "As soon as you know what you are going to be doing, please contact me so I can lend all the support that is necessary to get Mycroft Holmes back," she added, a soft look in her eyes as she thought of her boss. She then walked away from Sherlock going towards the waiting black car.

Sherlock watched her go and nodded his head to himself, "I will do so," he called after her and then added, "I have no doubt that Lestrade will be coming with me."

Anthea turn to him, "Understood," she said, knowing what he meant, "I will make sure that they are prepared for your arrival and I will be sending support with you as well. He would not be happy if something happened to either of you," and with that she walked away before Sherlock could say anything more.

The man gave a sigh as he watched her get into the car and then turned back to the building. He hurried his way up to Greg's office and walked towards it. He looked through the window and watched for a moment. The older man looked tired and ragged, he had been asked to leave the case several times since Mycroft had gone missing, but he had refused each and every time, making sure to do everything by the book. Sherlock didn't blame him, most of the yard was incompetent. Sherlock opened the door and walked in. He quickly sat down and dropped the folder onto the desk, making a loud thud echo through the room.

Greg looked up, a little startled and asked him, "What?"

"Ian Hudson," Sherlock began as he glanced through the contents of the file and handed Greg a few of the more relevant pieces, "Over the last thirteen years he and his wife have looked after fifteen children, every single one of them have been Omegas. They arrive at the home at around a month, sometimes two months old and are then taken away to be formally adopted when they reach twelve. These children don't exist after they are adopted. At the moment, Martha Hudson has nine Omegas, ranging from the ages of six months to twelve years," he read the some of the information that he had been given, "One of the children that are with her, has their DNA on file after an accident. Anthea was able to have it matched to an Omega that went missing seven years ago. Over the last eight months, six Omegas have been taken from her home to be adopted. They have not appeared on any registry that Anthea can find," he finished as he looked to the man sitting across from him, a little opened mouthed as he tried to find the words.

"But what does that have to do…" he began but cut him self off as he realised exactly what Sherlock had said, and the things he hadn't, "Perfect sex slaves, forced bonds. Fuck!" he exploded as he stood up from his chair and began to pace around his office, trying to think of what he should do.

"All the information about three of the Omegas here in England is in this folder. We can save them before they are put through anything more. The other three that are missing, Anthea is trying to track now. In an hour she found three, give her a little more time to find the others. All we need to find now are the Omegas themselves. They would have had a bond forced on them as well, to breed more Omegas children. One of the Alpha babies DNA was matched to an Omega that went missing four years ago in Florida. So they are still here in London, Anthea is tracking all that have been involved and she has said that we will have her assistance if we need it," he told him, as he looked calm, but inside he was hoping that Mycroft was all right, "We don't have much time to find the children, we need to get them away as soon as possible, you know that after a year the bond will completely destroy their will."

Greg nodded his head, "Yeah, we need to get everyone together and get a plan of action going."

Greg walked out of the office and over to Donovan, telling her to get everyone into the task room straight away, and to get any available officer to get there as well. He needed everyone to help work on this. Donovan looked a little puzzled, but nodded her head and started to round everyone up. Greg and Sherlock went to the task force room that they had set up and started to put things together.

It took two hours for them to be able to inform the force to what was going on. Anthea had walked in during the end and handed over the last of the information that she had been looking for. They now had a list of people to go after in London, and around the country. Calls were made to the different police forces around the country and raids were set up to be executed the next day.

Tomorrow they would be doing the raids, but while everyone was going to be doing that. Sherlock and Greg would be heading to Florida to carry out that last part of the plan. The police over there had been informed about what they had found in England. Anthea had been able to get into the files over there and complied all the information they needed to be able to set up the same raids over there. Greg and Sherlock were going over to debrief them all and to go on one of the raids as well, to the warehouse were they believed the Omegas were kept before they were forced into another bond. First they needed sleep, they had a long flight ahead of them in seven hours.
