They had been without a case for a while now, Sherlock had spent the time experimenting and teaching the Irregulars but he was beginning to show signs of wanting to take a gun to the wall. Again. John couldn't help but sigh at the glee that passed over the detectives face when his phone showed Lestrade's caller ID.

"Lestrade!" Sherlock answered happily before switching to serious, "You never call. Why are you calling? You usually text."

"Calm your farm Sherlock and let me speak." Lestrade replied

"I don't have a-"

"Its an expression." John said chuckling.

"Listen, we've got a bit of a situation at the yard I think you might be able to help with." Lestrade continued

"A case?" Sherlock questioned

"No, I'll explain when you get here, oh and bring a few of the kids." Lestrade added before hanging up.

John raised his eyebrow, Sherlock just shrugged and headed over to 222. Ten minutes later the detective and John were on their way to scotland yard with Lisa and Riley. When they arrived Lestrade met them at the door and lead them through the halls to a small break room. Inside was a female officer trying to coax a small bundle which must of been a child, to write with the pencils and paper on the table. John could only see the top of the kids head due to the fact it was all curled up in a ball with its arms around its knees. He couldn't even tell if it was a boy or girl, only that they had light brown curls.

"The kid just showed up here a few hours ago," Lestrade sighed, "We've done a check and he doesn't match any missing persons, or even non-missing persons. It's like he appeared out of thin air."

Sherlock entered the room with John the the kids just behind him, the boy looked up to meet their gaze, his eyes were dry. Funny, John though he'd been crying but his face was completely blank and calm. The doctor watched as Sherlock's eyes flew all over the boy, deducing.

"Immigrant." Sherlock said after a while, "His family smuggled themselves into the country, they were most likely poor people from, I'd say Romania or Poland. He's been in England 2 years so I'd say at his age he'd of picked up english already. Somethings obviously happened to the boys family, they are most likely dead."

The boy filched at the word dead.

"Make that defiantly dead." Sherlock added.

"Hello." Lisa smiled at him, "I'm Lisa, what's your name?"

The boy didn't answer.

"We gave him a medical, he can talk, he just wont." Lestrade sighed

"And you thought I'd be helpful?" Sherlock drawled, "Socio-"

"Bullshit you have a way with lost kids and you know it." Lestrade countered.

Sherlock looked uncomfortable, John could understand. Sherlock got all the Irregulars off the street, saved them in some fashion, this was meeting a potentially unstable child, something that required social skills.

"This is a job for a social worker not me." He argued

Lisa and Riley continued to chatter to him without any reply, they didn't seem bothered by the one way conversation at all really. Sherlock looked to John then to the kid, John knew Lestrade had him when he saw the detectives eyes soften in that special way reserved only for the Irregulars.

"Alright I'll try."
