Sherlock lay in the all too familiar hospital bed, only listening to the steady sound of his heart rate monitor over and over again,
"Beep…beep…beep"
This place was far too boring and there wasn't nearly enough crimes to solve. Sherlock was left alone with his thoughts and at this moment in time there were three people on his mind; John, Mary, and Charles Augustus Magnussen. Christmas was in less than a week and Sherlock knew that he had to meet up with Charles soon. Although Mary had almost killed him, he knew her reasons why and he had promised he would help her. Suddenly Sherlock was pulled out of his thoughts by a knock on the door.
"Someone is here to see you Mr. Holmes", a nurse informed.
"Bring them in."
Sherlock suddenly felt the air go cold and he could have sworn his heart had skipped a beat, if there had not been a heart monitor telling him otherwise.
"How's hospital life?" The cold and icy voice asked.
"Boring." Sherlock kept a straight face and a calm demeanor as he answered the icy man.
"Yeah it's a shame. Not many criminals here."
"So pressure points is it? You sit there and find people's pressure points and use them to bring them down." Sherlock said the words in a more of a matter of fact way rather than as a question. Charles responded with only a smile. "You can read people. You have files hidden in a vault with all their personal information and you save it into those." And with that Sherlock reached across and grabbed Charles glasses.
Charles watched in amusement as Sherlock slipped on the glasses. There was a moment of silence and then,
"Nothing." Sherlock's face filled with confusion as he slipped the glasses off. "Just regular spectacles", he said as he handed back the glasses.
"It appears so Mr. Holmes. Although I would love to show you the vaults sometime. You and your little pet… John."
"Leave John out of this. He's done nothing."
"Yes but his wife is quite the lady isn't she. I think we can agree that if you bring me what I want I'll show you my vaults, and that includes John."
Sherlock thought for a moment before finally responding,
"Fine. Can't wait to spend Christmas with you."
Charles stood and began to walk out of the room,
"I'm looking forward to your company." And with that he was gone.
