Message from Keri - This is just a filler chapter, a longer one will be up shortly (:
The inside of the small KA was swarming with awkwardness, Sherlock's eyes were fixated on the road ahead of them and his heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard. Leila glanced to her right, if anyone was to look into the car they would've believed that she had a life size wax model sitting in the passenger seat. Her eyes averted to the rear view mirror and connected with those of Dr Watson, his whole body squished in between a rather large suitcase and several cardboard boxes. Leila drew her attention back to the busy road, her little car winding through the streets.
"So where..."
"Shush." Sherlock interrupted his eyes still unblinkingly staring ahead of them. Leila frowned.
"Where do I..."
"I said shush!" Sherlock hissed interrupting Leila once again. Leila's grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"I need to know..."
"Will you just shut up!" Sherlock's voice raised his eyes flickering in her direction for a split second. "Mind. Palace."
"I don't care!" Leila's voice also rising her knuckles now turning white. "I need to know where..."
"MIND PALACE!" Sherlock bellowed, now fully turning to face her. Leila abruptly turned the car sharply left, pulling up alongside the pavement.
"OUT!" She shouted back pointing to the outside of the car. Sherlock blinked twice, he quickly undone his seat belt and pushed the passenger door wide open.
"FINE!" He squabbled stepping out into the freezing weather. "I'll get a taxi." He slammed the car door shut and pulled the collar of his coat up, strutting over to the pavement with a permanent scowl on his face. Leila returned the scowl and pushed her foot hard on the ignition, propelling her little car forward.
"So where do I go now?" she finally managed to ask without anyone interrupting her. John still had the look of pure shock etched onto his face.
"Turn left." he managed to answer.
