The two men had driven as quickly as the traffic had allowed them to reach Baker street. John ran up the stairs to the flat where he hoped his best friend would still be sat. As John burst through the door he saw Sherlock Holmes stood by his desk playing his violin, before John could say a word Sherlock spoke "Ariella gave me this violin you know" John looked bewildered at the statement but walked up to his friend and placed his hands on Sherlock's shoulders "Sit" he commanded

Sherlock did as he was told with some reluctance and confusion, John took the chair opposite him and Lestrade stood in the door way. "Sherlock" John said looking his friend in the eye
"You have questions I know but..."
John interrupted him "I can ask them later but Ariella she... she spoke to me" Sherlock sat up from his slumped position in the chair to listen to what the doctor had to say
"What did she say, she has't spoken in what feels like forever"
"She told me to give you a message... well two messages actually... one from her and another from a friend of ours, he goes by the name Moriarty"

Anger spread through Sherlock like a fire and his hands clenched into a fist and he began to shake "What did she say?" he growled through clenched teeth.
"She said the message from her was..." John coughed and Sherlock growled again "She still loves you and, get him" a deep growl escaped Sherlock's lips
"What was the message from him?" he spat
"I was here, stop me, help her" John said and Sherlock let out another growl. "Sherlock?"
"mmmm..."
"Can I ask you the questions now?"
"mmmm..."
"Why didn't you tell me about her before, you said you wheren't in any relationship"
"I said I had no girl friend, you assumed that, that meant I had a boy friend, you never asked if I had someone more that a girlfriend"
"Okay, so, why didn't you tell me"
"I don't know"
"Okay, what are we going to do now"
"I don't know" and for once, the doctor believed that Sherlock Holmes had no idea what was going to happen or what to do.
