Chapter 11 the blind baker. Part 4
They were at Scotland Yard now Sherlock and Jean standing before Dimmock "How many murders is it going to take before you listen to us and get that stick out of your ass.? A young girl was almost gunned down tonight that would have been three victim's in three day's and your meant to be finding the maniac" Jean asked Dimmock turned to her "The women died then?" Sherlock shock his head "No Jean here protected her very well might I add Brian Lukis and Eddie Van Coon where working for international smugglers a gang called the black lotus operating here in London right under your pitiful nose."
Dimmock watched the two carefully "Can you prove of that?" "Of course I can who do you take me for Jean you head home and rest for half hour to an hour while I deal with this idiot. He worst then Lestrade lot" The last part he whispered to Jean.
She left Scotland Yard and called a taxi which to her to BB1b Backers street entering the flat Jean was sluggish her body was shutting down she just needed a hour's rest… walking up a further lot of stairs Jean made it too her bed there she found the now cold water bottle.
Taking it out of her bed she did not bother with her dressing gown or PJ she laid her head down and was sleeping within ten minutes.
About 2 hours later Jean woke up looking around she could see it was light outside sighing she got out of bed clicking her body into shape Jean took her medication and called Maya to follow her into the kitchen feeding Maya was the first step turning around she saw Sherlock sitting in his chair thinking by the looks of things making tea and breakfast She took them over on her trolley tray and hummed a little so she would not startled Sherlock. The man looked at her "Breakfast Sherlock please eat"
Taking a glance at the food Sherlock saw it to be only porridge a good source of carbs and fiber, Agreeing to eat he took the small bowl and was happy to note there was not a lot in the bowl to begin with Jean notices his pleased expiration "I know you don't like eating on cases but at least you are even a small bit… Porridge is a compromise you know like the soup is easy to eat and keeps you going." Nodding Sherlock eat the Porridge slowly before glancing back to Jean she seems to have this power to get him to eat food when he is on a case yet it not pushy but caring not telling him to eat three times a day or any of that rubbish that for people like Jean who need to eat no she only gets him to eat when he's at home and only once a day sometimes twice if they are home though out the case but He was fine with that she was not forcing it on to him.
Sherlock watched Jean slowly eat her own Porridge taking smaller bits her hands shaking again Jean needs more sleep Finishing his tea Jean took the plate's bowls and cups out to the kitchen washed them up and came back in "Ok so what the deal with the smugglers?" "Well we know it not just a criminal organization it a cult. Soo Lin Yao was right her brother was corrupted by one of the leaders." "Soo Lin said that name?" "Yes Shan General Shan" "Soo Lin managed to decode the code didn't she?" "She was able to start on it and gave us almost all the missing pieces tell me Jean why did he need to visit his sister?" "She worked in the museum? She had experience in antiquities of course I see" "Valuable antiquities Jean antic Chinese relics purchased on the black market China's home to thousands treasures hidden after Mao's revolution" Nodding Jean finished "And of course the black lotus is selling them?"
Reaching for his laptop Sherlock searched though the websites finding "Here Jean one sold 4 days ago anonymous the vender does not give his name two undiscovered treasures from the east." Jean glanced at the pictures "So one in Lukis and one in Van Coons"
Sherlock typed antiquities sold at auction look here there another one" Sherlock said pointing to a picture "Arrived from China a month ago Chinese ceramics statue. Sold for £400,000" Jean pointed to another one "Look a month before that a Chinese Painting Sold for £500,000 all these from anonymous Source"
Sherlock head snapped up "Their stealing them back in China and one by one feeding them into Britain" "yeah that would work because every single auction considers with Lukis or Van Coon traveling into China" "it like you said Jean what if one of them got greedy notices how things are selling well and nicked one item not a large thing of course to noticeable but something small."
"That why Zhi Zhu came" knocking at the door had them both turning to see Mrs Hudson standing there "er Sorry dears but are we collecting for charity Sherlock?" Frowning Sherlock asked "Come again?" "There are a group of people outside with boxes off books." "No of course tell them to come in it for a case Mrs Hudson" Jean said as she eased her way over to the women "Care for a cuppa?" Smiling Mrs Hudson agreed "That nice dear"
Getting teas ready she could hear Sherlock saying "So the numbers are to references? To specific pages and to a specific word on that page" bringing the tea's though she handed one to Mrs Hudson and went and got the other two places one down next to Sherlock she then took her own.
Maya was resting by her chair sleeping "Ok so that would mean that 15 and 1 would be something like page 15 the first word on that page correct?" "Yes" "Ok so what the message?" "Well of course it depends on the book that the cunning of the book code" Finishing her tea Jean placed it on the table "RIGHT so it would have to be one they both own?" "Exactly right I was being honest the other day you should join Lestrade team you're much brighter and easier to work with then a lot of the other dander heads." Blushing she looked away Mrs Hudson also finishing her tea took the empty cup and plat out to the kitchen washed it up and said her good buys "That was a lovely tea Jean dear you're a women of many talents."
"Ok fine well this should not take too long" Jean was wrong it took well over an hour and a half to find the correct books Jean took down the words while Sherlock hunted though the books. "Jean why don't you go out and take some air" Looking Hurt that he was kicking her out of the flat for a bit she knew what he wanted to go into a his mind palaces still.. calling for Maya to her side she left deciding that going to the park would be a good place to sit for a while she ordered a cup of tea and took it with her too sit down.
In the end after about two hours she went back to the flat "We are going out tonight" surprised Jean asked "As in.. a case going out or a.." "A Case going out I told you Jean I am married to my work don't forget that there is no time in my live for a women who can't keep emotions on check." Sherlock sharply said which of course hurt Jean but she said nothing "Of… of course sorry I…." Glancing her way Sherlock examined Jean "I have hurt you?" "What no… no don't be silly. It just my stupid head over thinking don't you concern yourself over me.. I am going to try and sleep some more get my energy level up for tonight who knows what will happen."
With that she left the room and went to bed Maya laying down on the floor this time Jean climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep once more. By the time Jean woke up again the sun had gone down and while it was not completely dark yet Jean knew she slept most of the day.
Getting up she took her medication while stretching out the aches in her body, she went down stairs there were no signs of the detective anywhere in the flat sighing Jean went about in making a light meal.
'Why on earth did I say that earlier was it a case date or a stupid.. Stupid women you know better then everyone that Sherlock would never look twice in your direction you too ugly to damage way below him in every way no good' Jean thought to herself as she flipped the pancakes up and down in frustration as she was plating up the pancakes Sherlock entered the flat.
"Right I have the tickets for tonight" He said as he took of his coat. "Oh good that means you have time for a quick meal this won't take you long to eat there three on the plate and there for will fill you up till tomorrow."
Sitting down at the second table they had to eat off He expected the plate and eat though he kept his eye on Jean after late morning she gone to bed to catch up on much needed sleep Sherlock had played his violin to calm her down and thought for a good while.
He knew that Jean's low self-esteem did not help her much in getting friends so the fact that she only has him, Mycroft, Molly and Mrs Hudson as companions he was harsh to her this morning. He was afraid that her self-esteem was not hit to badly. While it was true he is married to his work he could tell you at least 10 points that would allow him to go out with Jean not now… but maybe down the line should the time arises.
For one Jean a fighter, she loyal, caring, intelligent, gentle with him and everything he does, understanding, beautiful, honest, selfless yet She had no worries about giving him a piece of her mind if she felt he had over stepped his boundary's.
So he sat and watched Jean who face was still flushed from this a late morning.. "Sorry.. I was a little harsh with you this morning" Jean looked startled, "Oh no don't be silly I… was being stupid earlier it my fault anyway I better go and change." Getting up out of the chair was painful while it was true that she had made up for her lack of sleep she was still in pain. She exited the room before allowing Sherlock any room for agreeing with her.
Picking out her jeans she put them on with Maya's help along with a simple white top and jacket brushing back her hair into a pony tail and placing a nice Rose Quarts hair clip in her hair to pin up the fringe a little Jean looked herself over at least she looked dissent even if this was just a case it was important to Sherlock.
Walking back down stairs again Jean smiled as she saw Sherlock waiting for her with both his coat and hers.
Leaving the flat Jean held onto Maya's harness and her walker at the same time, it took only ten minuets to get to their destination "The circus?" "no The Yellow Dragon Chinese Circus in London one night only it all fits the tong sent an assassin to England" "Dressed as a tightrope walker do you really think that the man?" I strongly believe that the culprit works here the killer is a climber where else are you going to find that much level of dexterity exit verse are scarce in China they would need a pretty good reason for leaving. Now all I need to do is get back stage while you stay and watch the show." Surprised she honestly thought that they would watch the show… of course keep an eye out for the killer while they were there but… forcing a smile Jean nodded She knew her place alright and right now it was a decoy.
They walked up the stairs even with her walker Jean manged Maya by her side Sherlock ushered Jean to the front sitting down in her walker seat Jean settled down with Sherlock standing next to her. Taking the opportunity to look around Jean frowned "This is not a circus it looks more like an Art room?" "Of course this not their day job" "No I forgot they are a gang of organized international smugglers."
The sound of light tapping of the drums made Jean stair back to the stage, a woman appeared on Stage she took the cloth off a type of machine before taking a arrow and placing it on the machine then she along with the sound of the drums and back ground music placed a feather on the arrow which fired into the target the other side of her. There were many gapes in the audience then clapping.
Maya had placed her head against Jean's lap, a figure dressed up came walking onto the stage the assistants placed Chains around the figures body chaining him to the target where the arrow had fired at a few moments before.
Sherlock lent down and spoke in Jean's ears "Classic Chinese escapology act crossbow on a delicate string the worrier has to escape before the arrow firers" Nodding her head show that she heard him She went back to watch the show.
Then the women bends and picks out a knife and shows it once again to the audience "She spits the sandbags the sand pours out gradually the weights lowers into the bowl" She watches as the sand dose indeed fall slowly into the bowl and with seconds left the worrier escapes just as the arrow pieces the board behind him.
Turning around she was about to say something to Sherlock only to find him gone, the women spoke "Ladies and Gentlemen from the distant moonlit shores of the Yangtze Rivers we present for your pleasure the deadly Chinese bird spider" The women walked off and Jean watched the acrobat swing around on the silk Ropes. In the distant she could see the curtains move around and grunting noises at last Sherlock had come flying out from behind the curtains onto the stage leaving her walker behind She told Maya to stay and grabbed the nearest thing she could get a large wooden pole that was on the side for whatever reason. Hitting the worrier from behind Jean managed to get him off Sherlock long enough for the man to take the worriers shoes off showing off the mark and grabbing Jean they rushed out while picking the walker and Maya as they escaped.
At Scotland Yard they traced down Dimmock "I sent two cars but the place was deserted" "That not good enough I saw the same mark the mark of the Tong on that worrier as there was on Van Coon and Lukis"
Jean could see that Dimmock was not listing once again "Look Van Coon and Lukis where part of a Smuggling operation now one of them stole something valuable though we don't know what yet we are still trying to despiser what Soo Lin managed to translate for us so far" Sherlock nodded agreeing with what Jean was saying "These circus performers where sent here to London to get it back at any cost."
"Mr Holmes I have done everything you have asked Lestrade seems to think that your advice is worth something though I am not so sure I gave the order for a raid please tell me that I will have something to show for it other then a bill for overtime "
Sighing Jean and Sherlock went back home Jean was tiered again they entered the flat "They be back in China by tomorrow." Jean finally said taking Maya into the kitchen to feed her.
Sherlock disagreed "No they won't leave until they got what they came for but we need to find their hideout a rendezvous somewhere in this message it must tell us where it is"
Jean came back with tea "Well what about what Soo Lin already translated for us?" Sherlock pursed… grabbing Jean by the head he kissed her on the four head. "You Jean are brilliant."
Taking the paper that Soo Lin already worked on "Nine Million quid" "For what" "Jean we been missing the book it back at the museum Soo Lin must have been using the book to translate from I am heading back to the Museum you stay here go to sleep you needed more sleep then you though"
Getting ready for bed She had put her PJ's on then a knock on the door made her pours she had not ordered anything heading down stairs she saw Sherlock's keys where resting on the table so she thought that maybe Sherlock had come back for them. Putting her Jacket back on she Opened up the door Jean was about to ask who it was "Do you have it?" Jean was puzzled "I don't understand?" "Do you have the treasure your Hair Pin is a Rose Quarts" reaching up to her hair pin she forgot to take it out "I…" the next thing she knew the man waked out around the head the only think she knew was darkness but there was barking as well "Maya" She though as she feel to the ground.
Jean had woken up her head was spinning and she thought she was going to be sick looking around she felt her body go cold when she saw Maya tied up next to her the dogs legs where forced in a bent like way so they were against the Maya's belly her snout was tapped though she could breathe though her noise which was left untapped there was also a blind fold covering Maya's eyes.
Looking away from her helpless companion Jean could see there was fire candles lit then she heard the same voice from the women at the circus "A book is like a magic garden carried in your pocket" though her whole body was in Pain Jean managed to look up to the group of people in front of her.
"Chinese Proverb Mrs Holmes" The women said knelling in front of her Jean went white "I am not Mrs Holmes I am not married to him" "Forgive me if I do not take your word for it" Reaching into Jean's Jacket that the women pulled out two tickets "One for Mr Holmes and one for Mrs Holmes" Jean blushed at the thought that Sherlock had clearly placed her under his name for discuses "I am not married to them man." Ignoring Jean the women went through the papers "and a cheque for £5000 also in the name of Mr Holmes your man looks after you" "He gave me that too look after" Jean felt her body flush she was feeling dizzy and Jean knew a Panic attack was coming on.
Then a gun was put in front of her first stage of her panic started with her heavy breathing and the feel of sweat running down her face. "I am Shan" "Three times we tried to kill you and your Husband Mrs Holmes what does it tell you when an assassin cannot shot straight" Her Panic second stage She could hear Maya whine from down beside her "It tells you that they are not really trying." The gun clicks and nothing. Gasping in relive as Shan walked away loading her gun for real this time.
"No blank bullets now if we wanted to kill you Mrs Holmes we would have done so by now we just wanted to make you inquisitive Do you have it" Jean sighed calming herself down no use panicking and not having her head on straight it was clear that these people do not listen.
"Have what I have no idea what any of you lot are saying" "The treasure of course" "I just said I don't understand what you're talking about" "I would like to make curtain" Taking the cloth of the same Arrow firing Machine as the one at the circus. "Everything in the west has it price you just have to find out what form that price takes"
Grabbing Maya by the back of the neck "And the price for her live is of course information." Forcing Maya onto the ground they had the arrow pointing at Maya's head "Where the hairpin?" "What I keep telling you I do not understand." "The empress Pin valued at £9 Million sterling we already had a buyer in the west interested then one of our people got greedy and he took it brought it back to London and your Husband Mr Holmes and you have been searching for it so I ask again where it is?"
"Please listen to me I am not Sherlock's wife he'd have far better teats for women then myself we are just flat mates please let Maya go" "Flat Mates a male and female? Without proper courting or wooing is this normal for your culture to allow a women and man to live together?" "Yes we are friends nothing more and we have not found what it is that your looking for" It hurt Jean saying that but she was not going to allow Sherlock's name be dragged through the mud.
"I think I need to loosen that tong of yours" She walked over to Maya "I don't understand the way of Brittan and their love of dogs you can always get a new one" She said to Jean Reaching up she split open the sand bag allowing the sand to fall into the bowl.
"Ladies and Gentlemen from the distant Moonlight shores of NW1 we present for your pleasure Mrs Holmes dog in a death defiant act" "Please Maya has nothing to do with this she my helper."
Turning Shan laughed "Come now you seen this act before how dull for you… you know how it ends." Keeping Maya tide up in place so she could not move.
There was whimpering coming from Maya and Jean could only sit there and watch as her beloved companion could do nothing.
"For the love of all things petty sake I am not Mrs Holmes let Maya go" "I do not believe you" Shan said "You should you know" A voice sounded from a little way away "now tell me how would you describe me Jean? Resourceful, Dynamic Enigmatic" Jean struggling with the ropes snapped "Bloody late" Shan aimed at Sherlock "That a semi-automatic if you fire it the bullet will travel at over 1,000 meters per second" Shan hesitated for a spit second but she kept her aim "Well?" "Well the radius curvatures of these walls is nearly four meters if you miss the bullet will ricochet could hit anyone might even bounce back and hit you"
From behind a bucket of flames coursing Shan to turn also coursing a distraction, Jean could see that Sherlock rushed over to Maya uniting her legs allowing the dog to get up then taking then Soo Lin's brother got a hold of Sherlock with the long Silk cloths fighting with Sherlock Jean having enough got up though awkwardly shifting the weight of her chair she feel over after two steps gasping out in Pain Jean watched as the bag was lowing every second being able to flip her chair round slightly Jean was able to kick the arrow machine towards Soo Lin's brother. The Arrow pieced the man allowing Sherlock to breath sighing at last Sherlock took out a knife that he could not get hold of in the confusing he cut of the tape and went to free Jean calling for police telling them where to go Sherlock went to pick Jean up "What you doing?" "You don't have your walker or walking Crutch's and in the urgency that it was I forgot to bring anything with me you won't be able to walk on your own." Sighing Jean said nothing he was right after all. Taking Jean up to the top Maya following behind They reached the top to see Dimmock standing there watching the two come out of the tunnel "We will just slip off no need to mention this in your report" Jean would have blushed but her body was in so much pain and she was so tiered she had no energy to do even that.
"Mr Holmes" Dimmock started to say "I have high hopes for you inspector a glittering career even" There was an understanding between the two men "I will go where you point me" Sherlock smiled "Exactly"
After getting in a taxi they said nothing not till they were home Maya had laid down and for once Sherlock made her tea. It took a while for Jean to remember that she was still in her PJs. Blushing at last Jean was able to say "So… nine Million for a Jade pin dragon den black tramway" She said picking up the piece of paper that Sherlock had decoded before rushing to her aid.
"Yes an instruction to all their London operatives it was a message to say what they were trying to reclaim " "What a Jade Pin all of this over a Jade Pin" "Yes a Jade pin as we said was worth over £9 Million pounds bring it to the tramway their London hideout." Sighing Jean stood patting her leg indicating Maya to follow "I am going to bed see when I wake"
Sherlock smiled "Before you go Jean one question" Standing at the bottom of the stairs "Go on" "Why where you so adamant that you were not my wife?" Blushing even more leaning against her walking Crutch Jean just said "Well it like I said at Angelo's I am hardly worth your spit. I am damaged goods after all you know that… why would you off all people want to touch me in a way or even think about wanting to marry me I am hardly anyone important and I was not going to have that women drag your name though the dirt." Sighing She was about to step up the stairs "your worth much more then you could possibly know Jean." Smiling a little Jean just said "Good night…" Glancing outside to the day light "Good morning even" with that she went upstairs to sleep the day away.
Sherlock had gone to the Bank and accepted his money Sebastian sighed "You really care about that women don't you to except money from me when we both know you don't need it plus you hate my guts" "Jean needs to know she can relax she is a war hero I don't want her to feel she has to work to feed me this money will keep us going for a good while."
He had been gone for a couple of hours coming back he was surprised to find Jean was down stairs in the front room there was Andy from the museum and Soo Lin wearing a cast around her arm "Ah Sherlock they came to thank us" Soo Lin stood up "Yes it because of you two that I am alive… I am free your brother has placed me under special protection I never have to hear form the smugglers aging I can go back to the job I love I had to move flats away from the place that I was but it good now Andy and I are talking about possible relation" Sherlock glanced over to Andy who was sitting on the sofa "Ah.. we are taking it slowly see how things plain out" "Good choice" With that the two left "I am not going to bed see you later Sherlock" Sherlock watched Jean go up the stairs back to her bedroom and out of sight.
Yes she was special in more ways then one. Sherlock though as he read the newspaper. 'yes in more ways then one'
This chapter is extra long as I wanted to get this chapter done in one go. I got the idea of Maya being trapped after watching an episode of RSPCA they had found a dog tied like that for breeding uses. I thought to use some of the method on Maya and please note I HATE Animal abuse and Abuse of any kind.
Ok that it for now the last chapter is next from this episode. I hopped you enjoyed this chapter and please comment on what you thought of the fanfiction so far.
