Thirty-Five: Returning Detective
"That would be me." they both turned toward the voice and Joan's heart went a mile a minute when she saw him.
"Sherlock." she said. He was wearing that bloody coat trying to look cool.
"Joan." he said and smirked. Thomas was looking at the man and remember, who this had been.
"You are suppose to be dead." Thomas said.
"I believe my death was extremely exaggerated." Sherlock said and he oof when Joan crashed I to him, not caring about their audience. Sherlock held her and touched her hand.
"You still have it." he whispered before he could say more Thomas pulled her away from him, causing Sherlocks possessiveness come to play.
"Stay away from him, Joan." Thomas said. "He is still that witless worm from the past."
"I see the greediness of dwarrows is still evident, no matter what flesh suit they wear." Sherlock snapped.
"I didnt make her see you die in front of her, she is blind by kindness." Thomas said.
"Wo.." Joan began before she was interrupted.
"Blind like you, when you tried to throw her off the side of a mountain for a stone that was curse beyond compare." Sherlock snapped and Thomas eyes narrowed. Joan looked at both and knew that if they came to blows it would be a dangerous fight.
"You dont know anything." Thomas said.
"I know more than you, who did you think warned her." Sherlock said.
"Your were filling her head with doubt." Thomas said looking at Joan.
"I was telling her the truth." Sherlock said. They heard footsteps and saw Oriana and Daniel coming their way.
"What are ya doing here?" Daniel asked until he saw the two man standing head to head.
"Sherlock?" Ori said with a smile.
"Doctor Ri or should I say Doctor Fundison, I believe congratulations are in order." he said.
"I think this is a great present, but I do expect one." Ori said with a smile.
"Ori, do you know who this worm is?" Thomas asked.
"Thomas, will you stop." Joan said. "Sherlock is my fiance."
"He is filling your mind with his own lies." Thomas said.
"No, he isn't. Now it is not the time, Ori and Daniel need to enjoy their wedding and we can deal with this another time." Joan said.
"Joan is right, Ori apologies for any interruptions in your wedding, but someone in your wedding is in danger." Sherlock said.
"Really Sherlock." Joan said, she was happy to have him back but ex-dragon or not he had the worst timing.
"Yes, I wouldn't be back early otherwise, one of Moriarty's man is here, you would recognize him easily, he killed your nephew." Sherlock said to Thomas who got paled.
"Kilian is in danger."
"I believe both of them are." Sherlock told them.
"Where are they?" Thomas asked.
"I think they were sneaking away with their friends." Ori said with worry.
Kilian was walking with his friends and Tauriel to the little gazebo outside.
"I cant believe they got married." Gimli said with a smile holding William's hand.
"They deserved to be happy, you even said so." William said.
"Aye, but this is better." Gimli said.
"I wonder if we will be here again, when it is Joan's turn." Sigrid said.
"When she marries Thorin?" Gimli said.
"I don't think she would marry Uncle." Fili told him.
"You doubt your Uncle." Gimli asked.
"No, I just know that Joan doesn't feel that way anymore. Heck if Sherlock was alive they would marry quite quickly."
"My Dad thinks they might have." Tauriel said.
"What?" Kilian asked.
"Just that, Dad thinks Joan and Sherlock married."
"I doubt it, they wouldn't, not with anyone there." Kilian said. "Plus we like Sherlock ex-dragon aside."
"I know, but I saw some paperwork that told us otherwise." Tauriel said. That stopped all of them.
"What do you mean?" Fili asked.
"Well I kind of saw Sherlocks Will in Dad's office."
"You went through your Dad's desk lass?" Gimli asked. Legolas looked at Tauriel.
"I didnt mean to, but I did and well it was weird."
"What do you mean?" Kili asked.
"Well it was modified recently and that wouldn't happen…"
"Unless the person is alive, this means Sherlock might actually be alive." Phillip said.
"But, why would he hide?" Sigrid asked.
"Moriarty." Tauriel told them
"Guys." Kili said.
"What is it Kili?" William asked and turned to see the man with the gun in front of them. He recognized him, as he had taken his life before.
"Blorg."
