Chapter 3
Sherlock sat down in his chair, with the cup of tea that miss Hustion had made him before she left, was thinking deeply. He was alone in the house as miss Huston had gone out to buy the new baby cloths as a present and the time she was taking, was probably buying him a whole wardrobe. he was in his mind place and was trying to get as much
information about Moriarty as possible. the christening of the baby was happening in two days time and with Sherlock liked it or not, he was going to be the godfather; and for some reason they had decided to pick Molly as the godmother and if anything happened to John and Mary he would be stuck with raising the baby with Molly, a view that he didn't was to think about.
A while later he heard the door open and miss huston walk in. since the baby was born she had been in a cheerful mood as Mary had asked her to be adopted grandmother to the baby as she had no mother or father to play the part. This had made miss huston very happy as she had no children of her own so never thought she would have been a godmother.
'Sherlock' she shouted 'come and help me with these bags'
Sherlock sighed and got up knowing she would have bought the whole shop and he was right. as he started to take the bags he said ' you
do know that Mary and John have brought the baby clothes as well and you don't have to buy him adult wear' as he picked up a blazer, shirt and trousers.
' Sherlock dear, don't be silly, there for you, for the christening'
'me!, whats wrong with my other clothes'
' Sherlock, you are becoming William's godfather you have to look presentable and oh there's a gift for you to give to them as well when we go to the hospital'
Sherlock picked up the clothes and the gift and went to his room and shut the door, all this is becoming too much, he was starting to miss the days when it was him and John with the cases, he now knew that John won't want to do any more cases because of the baby.
'Sherlock taxi's here' miss Huston shouted from the bottom of the stairs, Sherlock came and got in the taxi and were on there way to the hospital. when they got to the hospital he realised he had forgot the present for John and Mary so decided to go and get it.
' tell Mary and John I will be a hour at the latest' Sherlock told miss Huston
' OK dear see you later' and he left.
a while later Sherlock entered the 211b bakers street and shut the door, once upstairs he went in his room to grab the gift, he saw then that the door was open to the bathroom witch he knew he had shut. as he went to shut it he felt someone grab he around the neck and stab something in his arm, a needle, he knew it was to late but he tried to go for the man in the hooded mask knocking things over in his path until the energy went from him and he fell into darkness.
meanwhile back at the hospital John was getting worried, it had been two hours since Sherlock went back to the house and he hadn't even text to say he was on his way back. miss Huston said she was going to get a drink so he took the opportunity to talk to Mary quickly.
' Mary I am getting worried about Sherlock, it has been two hours and he hasn't even text to say he's on his way back'
'me too', she said, 'it is not like him to be late, he is always early, I will go with miss huston to get the coffee, I need a walk and William likes the fuss he gets off the nurse's' looking down at his face witch had the expression of happiness on it.
'Ok, good idea, I wont be long' he said as Mary ran to catch up with
miss huston and he ran to get a cab.
When he arrive at the flat he rang the door bell, no one answered. know he was getting really worried as Sherlock always answered the door, no matter what ( unless he had a shot it again, witch he was guessing he wasn't), thank god he still had the spare key.
As he opened the door he listen for the slightest movement or sound to hint that Sherlock was in the house and he had forgot to ring just to say he was late or was pulling one of his jokes, that he thought were the best thing in the world but no one else did, however no
sound did come and when he climbed the stairs the sight was something that made him step back- the whole room was a mess, books on the floor, Sherlock's things smashed up, even his chair was pulled over. at first John thought Sherlock had gone out and there was a robbery but then he spotted something in the corner of his eye and went over to the door where on the back as a small piece of paper and as some as John started reading it he pick up his phone and phoned the one person that he could trust in all this:
' Hello'
'Hi Greg, it's John'
Ah, John was about to ring to say well done on Mary and the Baby'
' Thanks, but thats not why I rang, could you come over, Its Sherlock, he's been kidnapped and he's in danger'
' be right over John'
' Thanks'
John didn't know how long he was standing with the the note until he
heard a police car turn up, Greg saw one look at the room and ordered to be a crime scene until said.
as greg looked at the note, one of the crime investigators saw part of the needle that was stabbed in Sherlock and told everybody to be careful in case it was poison
' if that is poison you better get to the lab quick and get it looked at' greg said, ' if it is poison someone is serous about hurting or killing him'
' think is, who is smarter then sherlock to do this' and out loud John read out the note
Sherlock is missing and here's the fun,
John your alone, your the one,
You only have a week to save his life,
or he'll be sleeping forever nightly, night,
I give you a clue a day to tell you he lives
but hurry up Watson you better be quick :)
