A/N: I must admit, I'm having a lot of fun with these. Thanks for the reviews! This one is set right after ASiB.
"I suppose I can't write that The Woman has gone into witness protection," John commented thoughtfully, "how would you like me to end the blog entry?"
"However you want to end it," Sherlock replied, sounding bored as he continued to clean his violin bow.
"Does it really not bother you that you can't see her again?" John asked carefully.
"Why would I want to see her again?" Sherlock asked, looking up from his task.
"I don't know," John admitted, "I…just…" he sighed heavily, "I'm sorry Sherlock. She's…" he took a deep breath and tried again, "she's…"
"-not in witness protection," Sherlock finished, "I know, John," he said mildly, turning his attention back to his violin bow.
John stared at him in disbelief, "You knew?"
"She's not dead either," Sherlock continued absently, "I know, I was there," he added, picking up his violin and moving to the window.
"You were…what?" John asked, still in shock.
"Saving her seemed like the right thing to do," Sherlock explained with a small shrug, "but don't put that in your blog," he added, pointing his bow threateningly in John's direction.
"Right," John agreed, looking a little dazed as he turned back to his laptop, "I guess she still needs protecting."
"It's not her I'm protecting," Sherlock muttered.
John looked confused, "Then who-?"
The rest of John's question was lost as Sherlock turned his back pointedly and started to play 'English Rose' on his violin.
John resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he turned back to his laptop, "Impossible man," he muttered under his breath as he resumed typing.
...
A/N: Yeah, I just don't believe that John would be able to live with the lie he told Sherlock. Sorry if you disagree. Also, he's not playing 'English Rose' (by Jam) for Irene. Just so you know :P
