Blind
Chapter 24
Okay well I really appreciate the support that I've had for this story so enjoy this chapter!
A week later…
"Mr Holmes your discharged" Sherlock glanced around looking for the face. This was one thing he hated unable to see a situation, unable to make his deductions, despite what John said he was useless he always would be.
"Sherlock have you heard the good news you can be discharged!" Johns excited voice filled the hospital; Sherlock could hear him packing his things, "Aren't you happy to be going home?"
"No"
"Why?" Johns voice was stunned disbelief.
"Because no matter where I am I will always be useless"
"How can you think like that?" Sherlock could see in his mind the stunned disbelieving look on Johns face that clearly read Sherlock are you mad? It was a look that was always reserved just for him.
"Snap out of this Sherlock you are just as brilliant as you've always been the only difference is that you can't see you are not useless, you are not worthless!"
Sherlock was silent as John helped him out of his bed and out of the hospital into a waiting cab. "Sherlock"
"Yes John"
"What were you screaming about in the hospital last week?"
Sherlock didn't reply.
"I was there, why were you screaming for your father to stop?"
Sherlock sighed heavily.
"My father was not the most patient or understanding of men I guess you could say, Mycroft never got into trouble because Mycroft was normal. But he had always hated me" Sherlock stopped talking as a memory flooded his mind. Get up you little freak! Why can't you be normal! John saw Sherlocks expression. "SHERLOCK WAKE UP WAKE UP!" his friends unseeing eyes sprang open. "You were screaming again Sherlock" the detective nodded and was silent for the rest of the trip.
John helped Sherlock up the stairs to Baker Street "Sherlock oh dear let me help you with that are you feeling better…" John and Sherlock pushed past Mrs Hudson John sending an apologetic look her way.
Chapter 25
"Boys there's a lady at the door for you" John and Sherlock sat up. A lady at the door for you the only visitors they ever got was either Mycroft or Lestrade. "Send her in Mrs Hudson" a tall imposing woman in a bright business suit came up the stairs. "Irene Adler" she introduced with a businesslike tone.
"John Watson and this is Sherlock Holmes"
"I am very much aware of who you two are my boss has been keeping a very close eye on you"
"Your boss?"
"Yes"
"Who do you work for?"
Irene did not answer John but instead looked intently at Sherlock. "Moriarty"
Irene was silent but a slight smile was tugging on the corners of her mouth.
"What do you want"?
"You"
John cut in then.
"WHAT!"
"My boss wants Sherlock he wishes to give him his sight back"
John was silent but Sherlock nodded he knew this was coming.
"Wait, Sherlock one minute please your going to take up the offer of someone you've never met this could be a trap"
"I will get my sight back"
"You could walk into a trap"
Sherlock didn't reply to John he didn't understand.
"Leave" John ordered looking at Irene who'd been silent through their argument she looked affronted but quickly recovered before taking her leave.
