Sherlock and John exited the cab calmly walking into the station, suddenly Lestrade spoke up.
"We got a lead on our double murderer guy, we want you there to question the suspect, we're heading out now."
Sherlock and John sat unmoving in the back of the car no one was talking. Then without any notice gunshots were exchanged and moment later a man, the suspect was running out of the building. Without even thinking John pulled out his gun and flung the door open and ran after the suspect. They turned the corner and John took a shot missing the suspect by a mere 3 inches. The suspect turned around and shot at John hitting him in the upper thigh. Which caused John to immediately collapsed on the ground in a heap of blood and dirt.
Sherlock heard the shots and ran after John to see him on the ground almost fading into unconsciousness. And as if in slow motion Sherlock ran towards John felling like he couldn't get there fast enough and fell beside him pulling him into his lap.
"John... John, stay with me John. Open your eyes," Sherlock said frantically he placed his hand on the bleeding wound and applied pressure. People began rushed in separating Sherlock from John and was that... Was he... Sherlock was crying. Lestrade and Donovan held Sherlock back as John was placed on a stretcher and and loaded into the ambulance. Sherlock sat in a mess covered in sweat, dirt, tears, and John's blood making a nice place on his coat.
Sherlock sat alone in the flat, the silence was erie. He had gotten dozens of text both from Lestrade and Mycroft. They all said he was going to be fine, they said that he was going to wake up soon and he should be there. His pocket buzzed again. A text.
He is awake, and asking for you. MH
I'll be there soon. SH
Sherlock gathered his coat and his scarf and nearly flung himself down the stairs, why was he so anxious to see John. Was it cause he was asking for him. Sherlock stopped and he pondered the thought,
Why would he be asking for Sherlock, is he actually asking or justwondering.
Why was Sherlock so puzzled by this. He shook his head a flagged down a cab.
