Anna woke up and groaned before rolling over, which made her fall off wherever the hell she was. This place turned out to be her bed. She sat up, moving her hair from her eyes. She heard a low chuckle and looked up at Sherlock who had now taken her place on the bed.
"You're evil" Anna spoke
"I didn't wake you up" Sherlock spoke
"Not you" she turned around "him" Anna accused looking at the older Holmes brother who was standing in doorway, twirling his umbrella.
"Good morning, Miss Fisher" He spoke
Anna wanted to hide under her covers, away from all noise. Her head was still hurting and she missed what just Sherlock said. She then felt something, she looked up and saw Sherlock hands on her shoulders.
"She needs her rest. I think you can leave her for today, dear brother" Sherlock spoke in a voice even lower than usual.
Anna felt a wave something come over her. She got up and made it to the bathroom before emptying the contents of her stomach into the toilet. Her head span she leant against the bath and put her head between her legs and breathed deeply. Her mouth tasted horrible.
Anna stood up and took one look in the mirror and noticed how bad she looked. Dust from the blast coated her along with some dry blood. Everything looked bad, she sighed. She had a quick clean up and walked back in the lounge. Mycroft was still there.
"Miss Fisher, I'll send a car by four"
Anna just nodded and looked back at Sherlock who was standing near a window, his eyes closed deep in thought. John was observing from his faithful armchair, he just stared at the scene he walked up to Anna. He wanted to take a look at her.
"Why does she need a car?" John asked his best friend
Sherlock opened his eyes. Anna seemed to be staring at Mycroft with a strained expression. Anna took a breath in before turning to John he didn't need to know just yet. Anna wanted him safe… not dragged into even more ridiculous games.
"The bomb" Anna thought quickly "he wants to know what happened"
"Dr Watson, Anna was the last person to see the bomb so we need to extract as much information from her as possible" Mycroft spoke keeping up with Anna's lie easily.
"Right" John said looking a bit perplexed "OK"
"Good bye Mr Holmes" Anna spoke
John watched Anna knowing something was up but he wasn't going to push. He knew Anna already gave a statement to the police, as Lestrade rang to make sure she was ok, she'd obviously discharged herself. Anna had gone to take a shower Sherlock stopped her before walking in front of her and grabbing a couple of things from the bathroom that might give her a scare. He came out with a variety of dead parts of different animals, which he proceeded to them put in the freezer. He washed his hands and came back into the living room.
"She's going to work isn't she?" John asked
"Where are my cigarettes?"
"What's that got to do with Anna?"
"Nothing. She wants to keep her mind off what happened, you know the bomb that almost killed her?" Sherlock spoke irritated and looking at John's blog "More importantly, where are my cigarettes?"
John didn't give in for a whole 7 and a half minutes.

Anna returned to the living room looking much better without the dust and dry blood. Sherlock was laying elegantly on the sofa thoroughly enjoying his Sterling menthol cigarette. He turned when he heard Anna moan, John stood in front of her gently touching her head.
"John, I'm fine" Anna ground
"You were blown up yesterday" John stated
"Almost blown up. And I'm fine, it's just a scrap and some bruising. I've had worse" Anna said firmly
"Ok, but still I think you should at least take today off"
"Don't be silly John, Anna needs to go to work. It'll be much easier for the police to figure out if she's there, she's one of the few competent eye witnesses" Sherlock spoke
"See, he's a genius. Listen to him" Anna said
"He's insane, plus you've got a mad man after you"
"I live with a mad man" Anna said grabbing her coat.
"Anna don't pick on John" Sherlock smirked
"I was talking about you and next time please don't use my hair dryer to blow dry the head in the fridge" Anna said as she left
Anna made it to the labs. It was busy, people pushing past. A lot of media present, but once again Anna went by unnoticed. She sat down and looked round; the lab was empty apart from Kevin who was sitting with his head on the desk.
"Been busy?" Anna asked
"You know we have" he replied exhusted
"I would of helped out but I was kind busy earlier" Anna said
Kevin head lift up and looked at Anna his eyes wide. He thought she would be worse off, but she was sitting there in good shape, he knew Moriarty would know but the game was on and the pieces were in place.
"Sorry, thought you were someone else"
"It's fine, suppose you lot properly thought I'd have the day off"
"Yeah, I'm a bit shocked Elora didn't say anything"
"I think I had John do the worrying person thing"
It was busy but slow. Anna was taken to another police office along with … Anderson to go over her statement, by the end of the day Anna was exhausted and wanted to collapse and just sleep forever. But as she stepped out of the building and she saw a car waiting for her.
The drive was slow but she knew it was to keep her calm, the car came to a stop and Anna got out. She looked at the country home, she carried on walking up to the door. Anna noticed that there were quite a few people on the estate.
"Miss Fisher we won't keep you long, but we need you to be careful, you had a tail on you. They've been annihilated"
"Moriarty?"
"Oh no doubt one of his workers"
"It was your car they were tailing"
"Trust me Miss Fisher, It's you they want"
"Thank you for your help Mr Holmes if you don't mind I would like to go home and sleep"
"Of course Miss Fisher and before I forget Elora handled herself very well"
Anna nodded heading out only to stop and turn round "The explosion … it was a warning wasn't it?"
But Mycroft was gone
Xxx
Anna arrived back at Baker Street ready to drop. She walked up the stairs and was met by Elora who hugged her tightly. Anna returned the hug then looked at John who had a big smile. Elora broke the hug and Anna walked over to John who seemed to know that she was tired.
"Come on dear, I think Anna needs her rest" John spoke walking over to Elora
"I'll see you tomorrow hun" Elora Spoke before holding Johns handing and leaving together.
"Yes see you then"
Anna walked to her room and collapsed and drifted off to sleep in a matter of minutes. Anna was woken up by the sound of something screeching. Anna turned and looked at the clock it flashes 1 Anna got up and walked towards the sound she found Sherlock playing his violin Anna walked up and grabbed the bow.
Sherlock was shock when he had no longer had the bow in his hand, he looked at Anna judging the way she looked she had been deeply asleep hair mess still in clothes from this morning stressed before
"You were sleeping" Sherlock Sighed
"IT'S ONE O'CLOCK IN THE BLOODY MORNING OF COURSE I WAS SLEEPING"
Before he could say anything else Anna had also got his violin and walked back to her room.
Sherlock stood there before heading towards her room; he opened the door and saw Anna curled up on her bed his violin nowhere in sight.
"Don't bother" Anna said
"Why that?" Sherlock asked
"Because you won't find it like my laptop" Anna voice dripped with sleep.
Sherlock walked over to the bed and sat down he looked down to Anna
"Then I'll wait"
"Long wait then"
