When the black luxury car stopped in front of Molly's apartment, what had happened. She knew it was for Sherlock. She took a deep breathe, took her coat and opened the door. In front of her were in person Mycroft Holmes and his female assistant looking at her phone. Before she could say a word, Mycroft opened the car's door for her and when she arrived at his level he whispered :
« - I'm not here and I've never been, you're going nowhere and you'll do nothing, is that clear ? »
Molly nodded and came into the car. Mycroft came in the front and his assistant next to Molly. It was night and she ignored where they were going, and Mycrost and Anthea remained silent during all the travel which seemed hours to poor Molly.
When the car finally stopped, the driver opened the door to Molly. She got out and followed Myscroft inside his house.
« - Why are you getting me here ? » she asked for the hundred time.
But still she got no answer. They downed the stairs until they came into a metal made locked from the outside door.
« - Remember, Miss Hooper, Mycroft Holmes said, you've never been here, and you never spoke to Sherlock Holmes. »
At the sound of his name, Molly's heart pounded harder in her chest. She nodded as Anthea unlocked the door.
« - Hello brother dear, Mycroft said while coming inside the room where Sherlock Holmes was sitting, deep into his mind palace. Technically you don't have a visit time, but I guessed your request was legitimate . You have one hour before the sun rise, after then, we'll have to go. »
« - Can you just close the door behind you and turn off the cameras ? »
« - As you wish but don't be late. »
Mycroft pushed gently Molly inside the room and closed it behind her. She heard even the locker. Sherlock remained silent and unmoving for a few seconds and after all the red lights of the recording cameras turned off he got up from his sit.
« - Molly, she said softly in an unusual broken voice. I'm sorry. »
He took a step closer to her as she smiled weekly.
« - For what ? »
« - For failing. »
Molly reached at him and put his arms around her waist.
« - I…I killed a man, he explained, I'm…among the ones I used to chase. I'm one of the dragons. »
« - Did…, hesitated Molly, looking for his stare. Was it Magnussen ? Did he threaten you ? »
« - Me ? he looked straight in her trembling eyes. Me trough John, John through Mary. If I wanted to solve Mary's case, I had to kill him. Everything he knew about her was in his mind palace. So killing him put the things back to normal. John and Mary can finally live a normal life. »
« - You sacrificed yourself for John and Mary ? » she said on the verge of crying.
« - No, I just solved a case. »
Molly put her head on his chest and she heard his beating heart. It was delicious to feel his warmth and life. She felt his arms encircling her and pulling her closer. He rested his chin on her forehead, risking a slight kiss Molly appreciated while closing her eyes.
« - What's gonna happen now ? » she asked abruptly while coming back to reality.
« - They're gonna send me in an undercover job for six month in eastern Europe. »
« - They can put you into prison and can't keep you here, so…but…why six month ? I mean…Oh…you won't come back, will you ? »
« - Six month is the estimation of my brother and he's never wrong. No, Molly Hooper, I won't come back. And this time you can't do anything to save me, I'm afraid. »
Molly parted and began to pace around the room.
« - And how am I supposed to live knowing that ?! » she finally said with tears coming to her eyes.
« - I…First I didn't want you to know that, he said softly, like this you would have forgotten me easily, you could have lived a normal life, you could have… But I'm egoist. I wanted to see you, talk to you, feel you one last time before… leaving. I know it makes things harder for both of us, but….I think… »
« - Stop thinking and let's be egoists ! » Molly said while rushing at him and, in his arms, she kissed him passionately.
Sherlock forgot all what he wanted to say about making her life harder by tell her he actually was in love with her and he responded also with as much passion as she gave him.
Sherlock was surprised about that but when he felt the first sunlight on his skin while kissing Molly, he let out a tear, melting with Molly's as the door was unlocked.
They parted away silently, proudly, but heartbroken.
THE END ?
