been told that I misspelled Hamish. Rather rudely I might add. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Although I did not like the comment, I do appreciate it. Thanks for reading here is the next chapter.


" Hello Sherlock" her American accent rang through the flat.

"Hello John, Carrie" Sherlock said evenly.

" Sher , is something wrong?" Carrie always new what Sherlock was feeling.

" It's Sherlock," he gave her an look of hatred.

" Sherlock, I know that Hamish was sort of a surprise, but I am in sort of a pickle." she smiled sadly "I have cancer. He would have been brought to you anyway. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow..."

Sherlock watched her form sway from side to side her green eyes looked on him with sadness and her hair was no longer thick and rich. It was brittle and frail. Even in her state Sherlock still thought she was beautiful. He saw Hamish at her side smiling at the face he'd seen for 4 years until he was sent to his father.

" You and I need to talk," He said leading her into the kitchen.


"What the in the world are you doing here!?" Sherlock said showing his anger.

"Your still a pig headed jerk you were back then. I was asked, and I missed you' She confessed.

Sherlock didn't plan anything. He just walked over to her and kissed her. A small kiss nothing special. Then they pulled apart both silently agreeing the same thing. That was the last one. They would forget there emotions forever. Sherlock didn't know who broke the rule first, because the next thing he knew they were back in each others embrace. His hands were on her waist, her hands were trembling in his hair.

" I always loved the feel of your hair" Carrie said smiling.

" Well maybe there's a reason for that. I missed you." Sherlock's ears turned red.

" Well you know that...I am ...well, dying. I need you to take care of him. He need's you more than you know. And, please," she pleaded " If he ever asks about his mum, tell him she loved him"

"Ok" she left the kitchen and he heard a small thunk! as the front door closed.

And for the first time in Sherlock's life he wanted the embrace the embrace of that woman.


Sherlock laughed as he and his friends walked down the narrow hallway to there next class. Then suddenly a girl walked down the hallway and tripped. Sherlock catches her and said " I guess you fell for me''. All the boys laughed and the girl blushed. The whole year the boys would make cat calls. And each day he hated the calls. Until 6 months later when he stopped and realized he fell for her when she fell for him. Literally.

Sherlock confronted the girl as soon as he realized this. He was about to tell her when she said

" You love me."

" How could possibly know that?" Sherlock asked.

" I like to read people. Your harder, more guarded. But I am still able to read you."

" interesting. Father taught you. Before he died of course. Sorry for your loss"

" I don't hate you, but I don't like you. Goodbye Sherlock." she touched his high cheekbones and took another 6 months for him to win her over. They dated for a while and then well, Sherlock had graduated. They had a fight the day he left. He was angry. Started to smoke and do drugs. Worked on cases to lull his mind.

"Sherlock!"


" What what. You know you don't interrupt me in my mind palace" Sherlock growled.

" It's Hamish. He's gone" John said. His eyes full of pain.

" What! when?" Sherlock asked. Standing up, face calm, but inside fear pulsing through him.

" There's a note too. From Jonathan Harrison. Here" he says handing him the note."

I'll be taking my son now. Thanks for watching him while I was away JH

Let's go get my son" Sherlock said evenly.

" We are going to catch that bastard and put him behind bars. " John said anger seeping into his voice.

"We are going to find him then we'll decide from there Dr. Watson" Sherlock said .

John immediately was worried. Sherlock loved Hamish with all his heart. Even if he wouldn't admit it. He knew that Sherlock hurt people that meant harm to his friends. He had thrown a man out a window multiple times for hurting Ms. Hudson. Had killed people for taking himself. What would he do to a man who took his son?

" Promise you won't do something rash. Promise you'll be calm and rational"

Sherlock didn't answer, he just walked out the flat.


So there it is. If there is any confusion on the story ask. Oh and Jonathan is a remake of Joe Harrison. he was in the last episode of season 1. Tell me if you got that.
