Sarah walked in "john they're-"
"Shhhh."
"Oh sorry I was just saying that they're here." She whispered
"Right… tell them I'm just waking him up." She nodded and left.
John spoke gently as he tapped the boy on the shoulder "ok John it's time
to wake up. Come on."
The boy screamed then shouted. "No daddy I didn't fall asleep I promise!"
"John your father isn't here I had to wake you some friendly people are
here to take you away for a little while. Ok?" the boy nodded he passed the
jacket to John.
He walked the boy out of the room to the woman and the man who were
waiting to talk to him. The woman began to talk to John about where he was
going.
John took the man aside "Look, is there any way you could tell me where
he's going?"
"why do you need to know? You're just the doctor who found him."
"I might want to adopt him with my…um…boyfriend. I'll need to ask him
about it first."
"Ah of course, if it's like that. here this is where he's going" he
handed John a card which told him where it was and the phone number and a
picture of the building.
"thanks." John said as he stuffed the card into his pocket. He turned to
meet Sarah's gaze he looked at her with a confused face "what?"
"well… i-i-I didn't-"
"oh yeah, um well it's not like it's not in the newspapers is it?" He
said the first thing that came into his head.
The man from social services spoke "newspapers?"
John turned round to face the man. "Yes newspapers. John Watson, pleased
to meet you." He held his hand out for the man to shake he didn't think
the man would shake it but he did.
"I-I-I thought they were just rumours."
"Yes well you guys are the only ones that know so technically yes they are
rumours but we, well, we laugh at them now."
Sarah spoke now "oh well ummm your shift is over."
The man spoke again "I hope to see you again."
John nodded and smiled he pulled his phone out to ten texts from Sherlock.
"See you tomorrow Sarah." And he walked out ringing Sherlock little
did he know Sherlock was stood outside waiting for him.
