One little Boy

Chapter 13

Lestrade sat with Sherlock in silence. He didn't know what to say to this boy,nothing in his training or police work prepared him for this strange boy who had seen things and done things that nobody should ever have to do or see. But how was Lestrade to help him? He was not a therapist and something told him Sherlock would kill him should he ever suggest it, could take him with me he thought, but what would they say at Scotland Yard if he told them what Sherlock had done would they arrest him? he can't go to prison he will break, here he has a chance to heal in prison he will shatter.Lestrade knew that his most important task was to protect Sherlock Holmes. His phone buzzed, he looked at the message:

DI Lestrade relinquish Sherlock Holmes within 24 hours to avoid persecution.

Lestrade stared at the message he froze. Someone wanted Sherlock and by the look of the message wanted to hurt him. He sent a reply:

Over my dead body

Lestrade

the reply came within seconds

If you wish.
