John's P.O.V.

No one had seen Mycroft for over three days. Anthea was concerned and they had already put out a missing person report. After explaining the situation with Sherlock, she was quick to start one for him. Within an hour, every news channel, and radio station sent out a report on both men every two hours.

Lestrade had gotten take out, and had decided to start a police task force to help with the search. He knew Sherlock would hate it, but he quickly picked Anderson and Donavan for lead forensics and officer. They may hate him and he may hate them, but they were the best there were. Both were willing to drop everything to help search. I knew that Sherlock's deathline was coming up fast with only around twenty-two days left.

I somehow fell asleep, quickly finding myself in a dreamless sleep. There was nothing until three in the morning when Lestrade and I jumped at the sound of a ringing phone. He scrambled to pick it up, and answered groggily.

"Hello?"

"Lestrade, this is Anthea. We think we might've found where they took Sherlock. I'm sending over someone to pick you up. They'll be there in fifteen minutes," I could faintly hear Anthea's voice.

I smiled, wanting to shout for joy and Letrade did the same. Anthea started talking again, giving us instructions, on what we should do, and what was about to happen.

"In the car you'll find assault rifles and hand guns. Take both along with two magazines for each. They are all loaded and ready to go. There's four bullet proof vests. Two are John and you, the others are for Sherlock and Mycroft if they are there. I've also stocked the car with some hand grenades and smoke bombs if necessary. Be safe and get them out of there. I've already sent your police force there to surround the area. They are to let no one, but you and John in."

"Thank you Anthea. We'll do our best," Letrade said.

The line went dead, and I smiled broadly until I remembered one small, overlooked detail. "Lestrade. I can't walk. How am I going to help get them out?"

"I've actually been working on that. Anderson should have it ready and with him when we get there. Just don't worry. Lock up the case files. And meet me outside. We have to get there as soon as possible!" he reinsured me.

I did as ordered, and we were quickly picked up. It took us less than half an hour to get to the sight. It looked a lot like one of our missile silos left over from the Cold War. As we came closer, I could tell indeed it was. Lestrade got out, telling me to wait here.

He quickly came back with Anderson and what looked like a combat uniform. I took it and gave them a questioning look. Anderson just smiled, as he pulled out a small ear piece and handed it to me.

"You didn't think all I did was forensics? Put it on. Then you'll understand," he nodded encouragingly.

I quickly changed and put in the ear piece. I strapped on a shoulder holster and put the hand gun in it, then taking up the assault rifle, I stuffed two magazines in each cargo pocket. When I came out, Letrade and Anderson quickly pulled me on to my feet and let go.

I was surprised and almost fell back before I felt myself become steady. I warily took a small step, smiling when I didn't fall. I walked about ten feet and came back. I was so amazed I couldn't even talk.

Anderson leaned against the car with his arms folded across his chest. "Well? What do you think?"

"I, words, I can't, I don't know what to say. This is amazing Anderson. How did you do it?" I gapped.

"It was request from Sherlock. They're aren't completely finished so the battery will be used up quickly. You have no more than fourty-five to get Sherlock and Mycroft out of there," Anderson explained. "Just get them out of there."

I nodded and turned to Lestrade. "Ready to go?"

"Ready to go."

We went down the stairs, assault rifles at the ready. We found four doors. I nodded and we kicked in the first two, finding both empty. We went to the third and the fourth and kicked those in too. The third room was empty, but sitting in the middle of the fourth room was Sherlock holding his brother sobbing, looking terrified. My heart stopped in my chest as I slowly lowered my rifle. I handed it Lestrade and raced to Sherlock.

Getting down on my knees, my heart broke as I saw him flinch and grasp him brother tighter. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder and whispered in his ear. "Sherlock. It's alright. I've got you."

He broke down sobbing even harder than before, and I pressed two fingers to Mycroft's neck. There was a pulse, but it was weak. Lestrade hollered up the stairs and six army paramedics rushed down. They took Mycroft as I held Sherlock back from chasing them.

"No! Please! Don't take him! Please! He's my brother! Please! I beg you please! Let me go with him! Please! Please. Just let me go with him," he broke down, falling out of my arms and onto the concret floor below.

I picked him up and carried him out of his cell. We loaded him onto an ambulance and quickly followed, but not before I changed. I gave the suit back to Anderson, thanking him for the help. He nodded and went back to the rest of the forensics team.

We went into the dreaded hospital to find Sherlock fighting, screaming. Racing towards him Lestrade caught him before he crumbled to the floor. Tears streamed down his face as he shouted Mycroft's name, over and over again. I saw a doctor waiting patiently near the door and wheeled over to him.

"Do have information on Mycroft Holmes?" I asked.

He nodded gravely. "I'm afraid I do sir. He's dying. He has approximately four hours to live. It's a surprise he's lasted this long with how much poison was delivered to him. Even if we did have the antidote, I'm afraid it would be too late. There's nothing we can do."

"It's alright. You've done your best. Thank you anyway."

He walked away, and I looked back towards the broken man, sobbing on the floor and I knew in my heart, that it was not alright. Mycroft Holmes was to die in four hours and I was afraid Sherlock might also.
