Sherlock and John arrived at Baker Street almost twenty minutes later. Sherlock immediately went upstairs to his flat to find where he had left those bones, he was sure that he had a femur somewhere around. John went up the stairs much slower than Sherlock had.
"Damn those long legs." John muttered under his breath. He may not have a limp anymore but that didn't make up for the quite clear height disadvantage he was always at.
"Sherlock." John questioned once he got upstairs and into the flat only to see a frantic Sherlock Holmes running about. " Sherlock what on earth are you doing?"
"Where are they John? Did you move them?" Sherlock accused without looking up as he tore the couch cushions off.
"Hide what? I haven't been here in ages Sherlock how could I move things? What are you even looking for?" Sherlock didn't answer John he just went into his bedroom and shut the door with a bang.
"Well alright then." John said to himself looking over the disassembled flat. " I've got to find him a case." John grabbed his own phone out of his pocket and sat down in his chair. There must be at least one mildly interesting thing going on somewhere.
"Hello." A timid voice called out from there door frame. "Sherlock Holmes?" John smiled, a client just what he needed.
"You're at the right place this is his flat. Here miss please sit down and I'll go fetch him." John pulled the client chair over and had the nice woman sit as he went to Sherlocks room and opened the door only to find him on the floor with newspapers spread all around him.
"What do you want?" Sherlock asked in a rather demanding tone.
"You have a client Sherlock a real honest to goodness client." John had a small smile on his face as he said this hoping it might catch the interest of Sherlock.
"I don't need a client John I need a case!"
"Well maybe if you go out there and actually talk to this woman you'll find one but you bloody won't find one holed up in here so if you please." John motioned toward the living room as Sherlock begrudgingly got up and walked over. John hoped that this would be a good one because Sherlock was a real pain in the arse to be around when he was bored.
