Sherlock briskly strode into the morgue, where Molly was waiting for him in examination room one.
"I just got him out of the cooler, I thought you would want to look at him first." Molly said, as she unzipped the body bag, revealing the contents.
"Yes, I would." Sherlock said calmly, and walked to the front of the table where the body lay.
"He was found in a park, in plain view. Had an over coat next to him. That's here." Molly said, holding up a sealed evidence bag. "The lab tech is going to take a look at it when he gets in Wednesday. He left early today, something about his cousin's wedding. Sherlock...?" Molly's voice trailed off as it became apparent the detective wasn't listening to her. "Sherlock, what's going on?"
"I need to make a call." Sherlock said brusquely, and headed for the hallway. He went up the stairs, and stood outside of St Bartholomew's Hospital.
John's mobile rang in the living room of Baker Street. "Sorry, one moment." John said, interrupting his conversational partner, the amnesic man. "Hello?"
"John. Get to St Barts as soon as you can. Bring the amnesiac too."
"What's going on?" John asked, confused.
"It's hard to explain."
"Sherlock, I need to know!"
"Just come here. It's important."
"I swear, if you're having a fit about writing a speech again, I'll—" John broke off as he heard the dial tone. He shook his head slowly and sighed.
"Right, we're going on a field trip." John said.
"What?" the amnisiac asked.
"You heard me, we're going to...er...somewhere that's not here." John said, not wanting to scare the amnisiac man who sat before him with the thought of going to the morgue. To be honest, the place gave him the creeps, and he'd survived three years in Afganistan. Just then, his mobile rang again.
"What is it this time?!" John nearly shouted, fed up with Sherlock's mysterious antics.
"That's not exactly the politest thing to say to your wife." Mary said, though she knew John didn't really mean it.
"Sorry love. Sherlock was just being...Sherlock."
"It's all right. Where are you? I thought you were watching Kathy."
"I'm at Baker Street at the moment, Sherlock has a new case. Kathy's here too."
"Again." Mary sighed.
"Yeah. Could you come and pick Kathy up, Sherlock's at the morgue and wants me to meet up with him, and that's really no place for a baby."
"Sure. I'll be another hour or so, Selfridges is having a sale on the most adorable baby clothes and I have to get there yet."
"You're shopping again? We're going to have to make another baby to use all the clothes you buy."
"I can't say I would mind." Mary said. John coughed, and blushed slightly. He could feel Mary smiling through the phone call .
"Right, do you mind if I leave Kathy with Mrs. Hudson? Sherlock made it seem pretty urgent."
"Sure, I'll bring her some cookies or something as a thank you."
"Thanks. Gotta go, love you."
"Love you too." Mary said, and ended the call. John put his mobile back into his pocket and turned the the amnesiac.
"Sherlock wants us to meet him somewhere, he said it was urgent." John said.
"All right. Any idea what it's about?"
"None. He tends to be rather mysterious, it's a habit of his."
"Where are you two going?" Mrs. Hudson intruded into the conversation.
"St Barts." John said.
"The morgue?" Mrs. Hudson said, narrowing her eyes at John. "That's no place for a baby you know. Surely you're not taking Kathy there."
"No, I was actually, ah, wondering if you would watch her for an hour or so while Mary finishes up shopping."
"I'm not your babysitter you know." Mrs. Hudson said. "But all right. Just this once."
"Thank you so much." John said.
Fifteen minutes later, John and the amnesiac were walking inside to the basement morgue of St Barts.
"What's going on?" John asked.
"Like I said, it's had to explain."
"Well, are you going to show us or not?" the amnesiac asked.
"This way." Sherlock said, and strode quickly into examination room one, where Molly had been conducting measurements on the body to confirm Sherlock's suspicions.
"That...that's me." The amnesiac said in astonishment. The face of the body on the gurney matched exactly the face of the man with no memories.
