When Sherlock got home he ran up
the stairs with the bags to John's old room he put them on the bed and made his
way down to the kitchen. He started clearing the side of his experiments when
mrs Hudson came in.
"Hello Sherlock, what are you doing?"
"Cleaning Mrs Hudson we have someone staying."
"Oh? Do you need help with any of that then?"
"Could you tell me where the vacuum cleaner is?"
"Ah, um it's in the cupboard next to the stairs. Important guest
then?"
"Very." The kitchen was clean now. "Done. Right time to do the
floors!" He did the floors in about ten minutes with Mrs Hudson watching
gobsmacked.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." He went up the stairs and hung the
new clothes up in the wardrobe and made sure there was nothing left of Johns in
the room, there wasn't but he still checked.
He went back down the stairs to see Mrs Hudson looking for something in the
fridge.
"Looking for something?"
She jumped when Sherlock spoke. "Trying to see if you had any milk."
"No you weren't, clearly the milk is right there. Mrs Hudson I have a
guest over I have absolutely no experiments in the fridge."
"Ok Sherlock. Where's John and why were you in his room?"
"I wasn't and he'll be back soon with our, erm... Guest..."
"Right. I'll get out of your way then." She smiled and left.
Sherlock thought about what the boy had said about toys. "Mrs
Hudson!" He shouted after her. He thundered down the stairs
"What is it dear?"
"Toy store. I'm going to the toy store would you like to come?"
"Toy store? Sherlock why are you going to a toy store?"
"Would you like to come?"
"Uhh Sherlock if I'm going to get killed then no."
"You are not going to get killed. I'm going to buy a toy or two... Are you
coming?"
"No I think I'll stay here."
"Ok... See you soon." He kissed her cheek and ran out the door and
got in a taxi to the toy store.
