Author's Note:

A brief hiatus (no, honestly, not Sherlock's three year version!) as I prepare the next instalment- a five chapter story called "The Stockbrokers' Courier"; first chapter is up on Monday.

You can however, sneak over to the Ex Files, and catch up on the latest there- Examine- which covers the scene where Mycroft meets John for the first time. It's a little diversion that occurred to me when I was covering the bit in this story about Lestrade wanting Mycroft to "vet" the flatmate, so the rules of engagement were satisfied.

There are a LOT of followers (gee, guys, I'm flattered, chuffed and delighted!) to this story; you might want to think of following Ex Files, too, so you don't miss out.
