"This is Sherlock. For goodness sakes just leave me alone and let me figure this out. Mycroft, final answer: yes I am." "Please leave your message after the tone."

Beep

"Oh, um… well, I guess I called you - called you by mistake. I know… I know that you won't ever hear this message. I don't know I just… I want life to feel normal again… Well, I'll see you later then."

One new text message.

From: Annoying Snob

Sherlock, have you still not told John?

From: Reckless Maniac

Your timing of texts is terrible. I'm on a mission here!

From: Annoying Snob

He left a message on your phone. It's been nearly two months. Are you not going to tell him?

From: Reckless Maniac

I thought you said he would be a security risk.

From: Reckless Maniac

What did he say?

From: Annoying Snob

I thought you didn't care what I said?

From: Annoying Snob

Wouldn't you like to know?

From: Reckless Maniac

I don't care what you have to say. I will tell him when I'm ready. Now what did he say?!

From: Annoying Snob

Ah, but you're in the midst of a mission, you wouldn't want to be distracted.

From: Reckless Maniac

You want the flashdrive?

From: Annoying Snob

You would withhold documents pertaining to the security of our nation for him?

From: Annoying Snob

Come come Sherlock, admit it, he's grown on you.

From: Reckless Maniac

I'm going to take great pleasure in wringing your neck the next time we meet.

From: Annoying Snob

Now, now, let's behave like gentleman.

From: Reckless Maniac

I thought we agreed I wasn't one?

One new voicemail.

From: Annoying Snob

As fun as it has been to hold over you, the voicemail is on your phone.

From: Annoying Snob

Do I need to arrange for you to be in London again soon?

From: Reckless Maniac

No, I have a job to do

From: Annoying Snob

You are just going to leave him? How heartless.

From: Reckless Maniac

It's not an advantage to care remember?
