You Cant Tell Mycroft

by Demetra Rose Riddle

It is 13 years before the study in pink. Sherlock and John have got married and have a secret. And that is why Greg LeStrade was sitting in 221B Baker Street, and was told one rule. "you cant tell Mycroft". Major Johnlock. pairings Lestrade/Mycroft and Sherlock/John

10. Phone calls with the British Goverment

Really sorry about how this chapter came out the first time, I`m not sure what happened but if it happens again just let me know.

Boat. A boat? Why would they send him a paper boat? Sherlock growled and sat up, as he did so, John entered the living room with Lestrade at his heels.

Boat. Ship.

John watched Sherlock, staying quite, Lestrade on the other hand, seemed to be having an argument with someone over the phone.

"No Mycroft, I cannot tell you what's going on" Greg said. There was a pause as he listened to the reply. John`s attention was focused on Greg. Sherlock's eyes snapped open, he listened intently, at least Greg was abiding by the rules they had set.

"You dare check the surveillance Mycroft Holmes and I won't speak to you for a week!" Greg threatened. Sherlock sighed and got up from the couch. He snatched the phone from the frustrated DI and pressed it to his ear.

"Hello brother dear, if you could please keep your abnormally large nose out of my business that would be lovely. Oh and if you do check that footage, there will be some unpleasant consequences. Good day Mycroft" Sherlock said in one breath before promptly hanging up. He passed the phone back to a grey haired Detective Inspector who resembled a fish at the current moment.

Boat. Ship. Water. Fish!

It hit him. Briana was on a ship somewhere. But what about the no fins part? That was a mystery. Fish. No fins. Drowning. Drowning! The ship Briana was on was going to sink.

"John" Sherlock called, twirling round to face his husband.

"What is it Sherlock?" The doctor asked.

"Briana, she's on a boat, a sinking boat to be precise, and I think she's going to be tied up" Sherlock explained, watching several emotions pass across Johns face before he saw him nod.

"How do we know what ship?" John asked

"They`ll send clues, but we have to get to the closest harbour. Now" Sherlock instructed, taking Johns hand and running down the stairs, coat billowing.

"They?" Lestrade asked, following the two.

" Dacota"

So, that was chapter 10. What did you think? Apart from, gosh that was short? If you could, I would love a review, but no pressure. :) Any guesses on who Dacota are? I promise the next chapter will be longer. DMM
