So everyone wants the card to be from Dimmock, good choice, I was kinda hoping you'd pick that option guys ;) I mean who doesn't have a soft spot for Dimmock? Thank you so much for all the amazing feedback and so without further ado here's the next chapter, enjoy! Xxx
Nervously you pick the card up and read it.
'Sorry to have missed you, if you could come down to Scotland yard I'd like to ask you a few questions, DI Dimmock'
Suddenly feeling so much more relaxed you are more than happy to oblige. You decide that you'll get some sleep then go down first thing in the morning, you don't have anything to hide, you don't think.
Sleeping well that night you get up as soon as your alarm goes off, feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead, somewhat. If it was a normal day, you'd be totally up for it but with Moriarty keeping his eye on you it does put a slight dampener on your day. Without delay, however, you get dressed and have a slice of toast for breakfast. After sorting your hair out, you set out to find a cab to Scotland Yard to find DI Dimmock.
The Yard is bigger than you imagined it to be. The receptionist at the entrance was very helpful though and showed you the way to Dimmock's office which is situated on the 4th floor. You climb the stairs since the lift is currently out of service and you nervously head over to the man you recognise as Dimmock.
"DI Dimmock?" you ask, his head looking down at his papers.
"That's me" he doesn't look up.
"Erm, you left a card at my flat yesterday" he looks up finally.
"Oh yes, of course" he stands and shakes your hand which you shake back "I'm sorry I missed you, if you would follow me I would like to ask you a few questions"
You nod and follow him closely to an interview room and sit down in the chair at the table situated in the middle.
"No need to be nervous" he smiles politely "this isn't a formal interview per say but it's easier to ask you questions away from the other officers"
"It's ok, ask away" you smile back, still a bit nervous.
"Well, I see on St Barts Hospital CCTV that you followed Sherlock Holmes and John Watson there and spied on him, I was wondering why that was?" he asks firmly but kindly.
"Oh! You see..." you explain about his brother, Mycroft and he seems to completely understand. "You don't look surprised or confused sir" you say.
"Well, I've heard about Mycroft, Lestrade told me so it doesn't surprise me as much as you expect it" he smiles again "I almost had you down as a suspect for this murder we're investigating but I can firmly cross you off now"
"Thank goodness for that" you laugh "is there anything else?"
Dimmock looks like he's about to ask another question but stops himself.
"No, nothing else, thank you for coming by"
"Anytime Dimmock" you smile politely and leave Scotland Yard, feeling a lot calmer.
After a very quiet day, no strange texts or anything, you settle in front of your TV with a cup of tea and have a quiet night in. That is, until Sherlock bangs on your door. Annoyed, you get up and answer.
"What Sherlock?" you ask.
"I want my share of Mycroft's money" he replies.
"Oh right"
"I let you spy on me earlier today, so I want my share, or I can transfer it over using your laptop, either way I don't mind" he barges in and loads your laptop up.
"Excuse me Sherlock but I need that money"
"Don't I know it, that's why I'm splitting our money but 45/65, 65 to me since Mycroft's my brother and I'll have to do this carefully so he doesn't see"
"Wait a minute! That's not fair! Not at all!" you complain "50/50 I can do but nothing less!"
"I need a bit of a profit, you can't transfer the money without Mycroft knowing, its 45/65 and that's final" he says, you know you can't argue with him so you just give in.
"Fine whatever" you go and make another cup of tea.
"I'll have a coffee, I am a guest" you sigh and make some coffee as well.
You hand over his coffee, no milk and two sugars as he asks and he drinks it while transferring the money over secretly. You don't watch, you just sit in front of your TV.
"Done and I deleted your history a few times to be sure he can't find out" he says and gets up to leave. You don't move, you just stare at your TV screen and nod. "Shouldn't you be looking for a job? Isn't that what normal post-graduate students do after leaving University?" he asks suddenly.
"No jobs, Mycroft's job is enough until I find a proper one" you explain.
"Oh, arty course am I right?" he asks.
"Yeah, Art and Photography"
"Not exactly the best course to confirm yourself a job, why not science or law or something like that?"
"Not smart enough and Art is much more free" still not taking your eye off the TV, bored of him "can do whatever you want, science and law are structured around fact and well the law, Art you can push boundaries, even break the rules"
"I see" and with that he leaves and you breathe a sigh of relief. You switch the TV off and head to your bedroom but notice a book out of place. You hardly ever move the books from their place so you go over to investigate. Looking through a gap between the books you see something, an object of some sort so you pull a book out and put it on your bed. A normal person would scream at what they found or faint even but you don't, you just laugh.
"Good attempt at putting a 'real' eyeball in here, clearly fake" you laugh again and examine it, wondering who put it there and why.
Ok, over to you guys, who put the fake eyeball there? Moriarty's network or Sherlock? If you have an idea for what Dimmock wanted to ask give that too if you want :) I have the reason why in my mind, the next chapter is when you get pulled into the murder investigation xxx
