It was a miracle that John had found Sherlock. He had ran out of the forest to find a tiny local village and sneaked past a farmer lying on his back, smelling strongly of alcohol, to find a meagre patch of lettuce, turnips and carrots, none looking very healthy.
However, the blond man was desperate and ate whatever he could get his hands on.
The village locals had not been much help, seeing as they only spoke russian and most of them were either drunk, too old to understand anything, or young children.
John's only choice, though idiotic and likely to make him die of starvation, was to go out into the forest again and rescue Sherlock from whatever predicament he had got himself into.
With no food or water for three days, John should've expected to find the detective unconscious, but perhaps observing him without food for at one time, nearly a week, biased his medical thoughts.
However, the doctor's attention was completely focused on Sherlock, the only dark shape that stood our amongst the various shades of green.
"Sherlock!"
John immediately checked the brunette's vitals, and found his breathing rate to be slow but steady, however Sherlock appeared to be suffering from severe dehydration and lack of food.
"Sherlock. Can you hear me?"
The man in question stirred and weakly tried to sit up, his eyes darting around in fright.
"John?"
"Yeah, it's me. Come on, drink this."
John pulled out a half full bottle of water from his rucksack and gave it to Sherlock, who almost choked at the speed he was drinking.
"Woah! Easy mate, you're okay. Here, have something to eat."
Sherlock ignored John and looked around in confusion.
"Where are we?" He asked hoarsely, probably because of the dehydration.
"I found you here, you were unconscious. Now come on, I know the way out."
John helped Sherlock struggle weakly to his feet, and they both walked for about three hours before they saw a familiar building.
Soon they found the police station and got help from some of the few people who spoke english, and where on the next plane to Heathrow.
