Chapter 14
Life had been surprisingly peaceful for Molly. This was good for Molly, but Sherlock hated it. No crimes, no experiments, no contact, no fresh air. Until now.
3 weeks earlier.
"Sherlock, look at this." Molly nudged Sherlock and pointed to the newspaper lying open. Sherlock didn't move "If it's not at least a triple homicide, then I'm NOT interested." He grumbled into the cushion that he had pressed against his face. "Sherlock, this is serious. Look." Molly's tone suggested that it was a matter of life and death, so Sherlock sat up. "What could possibly be so important?" "This." She poked at the page.
'MYSTRAY SPOTTING OF DEAD DETECTIVE.' The page said. Sherlock chuckled, "Well, they have some of the facts wrong there." "Sherlock, you need to be more careful." Molly looked up at him; she was very serious "Molly listen, nobody's going to believe it. I'm 'dead', remember." Sherlock said "Anyway, It's not like anybody cares now, it has been nearly four months now." Sherlock lay back down on the sofa. "I know someone who does." Molly whispered, Sherlock kicked her "HEY!" she laughed "Don't do that Molly, don't ever do that again." Sherlock wasn't joking; he got up and stormed off. "Ohhh, Sherlock, come back." Molly called after him, 'Oh god what have I done.' She thought with horror "Sherlock I'm sorry!" Molly got up and chased after him.
Sherlock lay on the floor, he heard Molly calling through the door. But that was about five minutes ago, he was fuming 'Why would she say something like that.' There was a faint knocking sound on the door. Sherlock ignored it, "Go away!" Sherlock did not want to even look at her right now. "Sherlock, I'm sorry." The voice squeaked "I really am." 'Damn her! Being all small and sweet.' "Ughh!" Sherlock groaned in annoyance, why couldn't he keep a grudge against her? Why? Sherlock stood up and unlocked the door. "Sherlock, please I'm really sorry." Molly was begging now. Gee she must really be desperate. He thought as he opened the door.
The door which was once solid shut was now open, it opened quickly and sharply. Molly who had been leaning against it now fell into the doorway, landing at a pair of feet. Molly looked up; Sherlock was staring down at her, looking almost amused and a bit pleased with himself. "You could have warned me that you were sitting there." He mocked "Although… It was funny." Molly got up and faced him "I am sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." She whispered "I really am, if I can make it up to you I will." Molly spoke louder this time and looked Sherlock directly in the eye, which were pale blue today. Sherlock smiled "Anything?" "Yes whatever you want." Molly regretted it as soon as she saw the small glint in Sherlock's eyes, however a tad hopeful. "Brilliant."
"Sherlock, are you sure about this?" Molly asked "Yes, quite sure." Sherlock emerged from the bathroom.
His face was covered in a fake beard; he had straightened out his beloved curls and was wearing a beanie. Instead of his usual suit he wore a pair of baggy jeans, a black jumper, a hoodie and had a pair of Nike high-tops. Molly stared at him "What?" Sherlock said he slapped his hands down by his side "the art of disguise is knowing how to hide in plain sight." He reminded Molly. Molly on the other hand just laughed "You look…. Ridiculous!" she said between the bursts of uncontrollable laughter. Sherlock just looked at her. "Molly, in order for our plan to work you can't laugh like that in the middle of the street." Molly composed herself "Alright, now are you really sure that this is what you want?" "Yes." He stated, no more questioning this decision. "Right. Fine." Molly wasn't in a disguise, "Ready to go? Remember we're only going to Tesco's and back." "Yes I know." Sherlock sighed, one of the terms of this 'agreement' was that Sherlock could got outside once a week, but only to Tesco's with Molly, but only until Molly advanced it, which was in two weeks.
"Ready?" Molly asked as they walked to the door. Sherlock stopped "Yes!" he said with excitement. He kissed Molly on the cheek and set off out the door.
