Chapter Four: Samantha

The next day, Sheryl came into the living room. Before she could even sit down, there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Hudson was out, so she answered the door.

Mycroft was standing in front of her with a manila envelope.

he smiled, "Hello, dear sister..."

"What is it this time Mycroft?" She asked.

"I have a-"

"No, I know you have a case, what type is it?" She interrupted.

He turned serious, "Kidnapping." He handed her the envelope.

She opened it and took out the piece of paper inside.

Name: Samantha Galeger

Born: Mesa, Arizona, United States.

Last seen: Leaving her hotel room, going westward to a local store.

Evidence: Her left shoe, Her Cellular phone, and a pint of blood.

"So... will you take the case...?" Mycroft asked.

"Hmmm. I'm not sure... I was expecting a murder..."

"If it helps, it might be a murder if you don't hurry!"

"Fine. i'll take the case."

He smiles, "Thank you..." He began to walk out the door, then stopped, "Oh, and by the way..."

"Yes..?" Sheryl asked.

"I know about you and Jim." he said quickly, "Bye!" He closed the door, letting himself out.

She stared at the door, speechless. John came to her side, "Who was that?" He saw the envelope at her side, "We have a case...?"

She nodded absently, "That was just Mycroft... He came to give me this case..." She shook the envelope.

"Whats wrong...? You seem distracted..."

She looked at him, "He knew about Moriarty and I..."

"What?! How?!"

"He probably sent spies to follow me..." She said angrily, "See? I told you that he has insane meddling problems! He can't even trust me to go out by myself!"

"Did he say anything about it?"

"Only that he knew me and Jim were dating."

"Then don't worry about it!"

She sighed, "Fine." she read through the case information again, "Let's go." She grabbed her coat and marched out the door.

John wasn't far behind, "Where are we going?!"

"To the place Samantha was heading to!"


"She was going to an abandoned cemetary?!" John said in disbelief.

I nodded, "She was headed westward, saying she was going to the store. There is no grocery store in the route she was taking. her apartment is that way," She pointed exactly east, "And it is fair walking distance from here... So the only place she'd be heading is here..."

He starts examining the scene around him.

"Hey Sheryl... this place doesn't seem abandoned."

I nodded, "They would've moved the grave markers and the bodies if it was."

He shrugged and just returned to his business.

She soon came over a tombstone that made her chuckle a bit.

"What is it?" John asked as he came over to see what she was looking at, he saw it then went silent. The tombstone read:

To the Sexiest of Them All

"Jim did this" Sheryl said with a small smile.

"That's right~!"

Sheryl and John turned around at exactly the same time. Moriarty was standing behind them a few feet away. Sheryl smiled and hugged him, while John took a few steps back.

"Jim," she said with a frown, "Mycroft already knows about us..."

He smiled, "I know, that's why I'm creating a series of crimes so complicated that he won't have any time to care about our relationship!"

"OOo~" She smiled, "More cases~!"

John stepped towards them, "Wait, Sheryl, your alright with this?!"

She looked to the blogger, "Hey, I have no control over what he does... He's doing this by himself."

Moriarty smiled, kissing her.

"Well, what about the girl?"

Sheryl looked at Jim, "Yes, what about her?"

"Oh! Sammy is alright! She's actually a fan of me."

"A fan?" John asked, "How did she hear of you?"

"Well, apparently, she had read about me on a certain doctor's blog." he said, glancing at John.

"Well, how long are you planning to keep her?"

"Until she gets on my nerves." Moriarty said.

Suddenly his phone went off, he check it then put it back in his pocket.

"I've gotta go." he smiled, "So many crimes... so little time~"

Moriarty kissed her softly and receded to his black car and drove away.

Five minutes later, Sheryl gets a call. She took out her phone, checking who it was.

Mycroft.

"Dammit!" she growled, then answered the phone, "What do you want?"

"Are you aware that since you left, that there were three bodies found sealed in a cave and a bombing in the London Airport?!"

"No...wow... He really does work fast.." she mumbled.

"You were aware that he was going to do something like this?!"

"...yes... But not this quickly! I truly thought that this would take a few days for him to set up!"

"And you're okay with this!? You're going to let him commit more of these crimes!?"

"Hey, I have no control over what he does!"

Mycroft groaned, " Just get over here! And hurry! Before your boyfriend causes any more trouble."

She hung up the phone and began walking towards the streets.

John followed close behind, " let me guess, Mycroft?"

She nodded, "Jim works fast. There's been a bombing and a murder."

"Wow... Already?!" John said in disbelief.

"He must've been planning this for a few days, before he even knew I had shared feelings for him."

"well at least he's a good at planning..." John mumbles.

She hailed a cab and the drove to the london airport.
