Prompt: Saints: words Book, Relic, Saint
Sherlock's POV
The cases that he both loves and hates are those involving religion. In this case he has been approached by several different churches and temples in the area about finding missing relics, books, and artifacts that have vanished over the last six weeks. While he is sure it is going to be a relatively simple case, it is still rather time consuming as he finds out who has been to each place and what they have stolen.
What he discovers is a ring of thieves. Thankfully, he has John with him when he discovers them, and his lover is able to easily dissuade them trying to attack him by threatening the group with his gun. It is probably a good thing his brother got that gun registered a while back, best not to tempt things by not having him registered. Of course, he asked Mycroft to do so. After all, some of his work could be extremely dangerous and he seems to be getting even more dangerous cases as time goes on, so having someone with that sort of weapon is very useful. Once the ring is broken, he tracks down all of the stolen items, returning them to their respective places before considering it a day. The real amusing part, at least to him was the fact that one of the thieves was named Saint John. For some reason his John was just not amused by that.
