Sherlock is looking at his phone
"Can I get you anything else?" asks Billy
"No, thanks I'm fine" replies Sherlock
"Is that your boy?" asks Billy referring to the text message he just sent
Sherlock looks at Billy
"Sorry, none of my business"
"He's ignoring my calls" Sherlock tells him
"He'll come round"
Sherlock smiles and Billy walks away
A woman walks in and sits at a table.
Sherlock heads for Henry's texting John on the way.
2 weeks later
"What did you mean 'I owe you'" Molly asks him
"What?"
"You said it while you were working" She replies
"Nothing"
Silence
"You look sad" She tells him "When you think no one can see you"
"But, you can see me"
"I don't count"
Sherlock looks at her
"Are you ok?" Molly asks
"I'm fine" Sherlock assures her
"Ok, you don't want to talk. Just know that if you do I'm all ears"
Later back at the house
"You should have gone with them" John tells Sherlock "I don't want the word believing you're..."
"What?" Sherlock asks
"You're worried their right about me"
"No, I know you for real" John tells him
"A hundred percent"
"Nobody can fake being an annoying dick all the time"
2 Hours later back at the hospital
"You're wrong, you know. You do count, but you're right I'm not ok. I think I'm going to die" Sherlock tells her
"What do you mean?"
"I need you to make a phone call. Actually get one of your friends to do it 'cause John knows your voice"
"What?" asks a confused Molly
"I need you to make a Mrs Hudson's in danger phone call"
"I don't understand"
"Can you do that for me?"
"Sher..."
"Can you?" Sherlock cuts her off
"Yes"
2 hours later
A cup is placed in front of John
"No thanks"
"You should drink it"
John looks up and smacks the coffee out of Lestrade's hand gets up and walks away
"John, wait please" Lestrade pleads
Lestrade steps in front of John
"Are you happy now?" asks an angry John
A tear drops from Lestrade's eye
"No. I'm not happy. He was my friend too. I just... I was doing my job"
John walks back and Lestrade follows
"Why did he lie?"
"He didn't lie" John tells him
"But...the evidence"
"I don't care about the evidence" John says bluntly "It's fake, Sherlock is not"
"How can you be so sure" Lestrade asks him
"Because I know Sherlock"
Lestrade looks at him
"You know him too. Just as well as me."
"I don't..."
"What was your first thought when it was brought up that he might be fake" John cuts him off
"No way" Lestrade answers
"Keep that" John tells him
"What?"
"Remember when you first came to arrest him and he was babbling on. This is what he was talking about"
"But..."
"No," John cuts him off again "No buts, what if's or maybe's. Just remember that."
Silence
"Ok" Lestrade replies
John falls back in his chair and the tears start again.
Lestrade puts a hand on John's Shoulder. John pulls Lestrade into a hug and breaks down in his arms
"Sorry"
"No, it's...it's going to be ok you know" Lestrade assures him
John shakes his head and wipes his eyes.
"Come on let me drive you home" Lestrade offers
"I can't go back to the flat. I'll just...I'll stay in a hotel"
"For how long?" Lestrade asks
John shrugs
"I have a spear bed"
"I can't ask you to do that"
"What's your other option?"
"I don't thi..."
"At least until you find somewhere else"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive" Lestrade replies
