Chapter 2

"Y-You were dead." Stammered John

"What?." Exclaimed Sherlock.

"Hmm. Well, Mycroft told me she died and we thought that telling you this might,"

'Might?," interrupted Sherlock.

"Might break your H-Heart." John completed.

Irene could not hide her smile.

"Oh! What? I thought you guys knew about how I helped her escape Karachi. I though she went to America after Karachi."

"No, No, No! Wait, what! you helped her in Karachi? Then how come you didn't know where she went."

"Because some took all my clothes and ran away," Sherlock said looking at Irene

"Well, That sort of happened. Anyways, how come you guys know I was in America," said Irene

"You were in America? I thought Mycroft made it up. Wait how did she steal your clothes. Were you guys together-r s-somewhere alone without your-r." John said giggling to himself.

But was interrupted by Sherlock "Oh my God. Get your head out of the gutter. She made me strip at gunpoint. Stole my clothes and ran away."

Mary started laughing loudly and everyone except Sherlock Broke into laughter.

"YEAH! Sherlock without clothes. Have your fun." Sherlock said.

"No seriously, that's a good idea. John beware. I might try that on youuuu." Mary said giggling.

"Now that you guys have had your daily laughter dose " Sherlock started.

"I have called Ms. Adler here to assist us in this case."

"Which case? ," John questioned.

"The Social worker case. Obviously."

"Obviously? Wasn't It over?"

"Oh No No! John. See I told Lestrade that he died because of the condom. Which is not possible. As while I was searching the house . I found no traces of any packets or receipts. So, the possible theory is that usage of condom was getting costly for him. So he had vasectomy done. Which the forensic reports would tell us."

"So why did you lie?"

"Easy, I needed time for Ms. Adler to reach here."

"No, I get it now," John said.

"He didn't Know enough about the case. So He wanted to talk to a professional." Said Mary.

"I wouldn't put it that way. I was not sure ab- ," Sherlock explained

"About anything," Irene said smiling.

"Wow! That's New, " John teased.

"Oh, get out you two. Don't you have some appointment or something with the doctor,"

"Sherlock, I am the doctor,"

"For Christ's Sake . You're an army doctor. Take her to some-e Baby-y doctor. Oh Wait, Mary I think Beth's Calling you." (Reference from S03E02)

John and Mary sighed and left.

"So It's just me and you. Together Alone." Irene teased Sherlock.

"Yeah! The last time we were 'Together Alone' I was wearing nothing but my underwear," Sherlock rolled his eyes and walked towards the fridge.

"Well, Want to try that again?" Irene blinked "This time with no under-."

Sherlock choked and coughed.

…

AFTERNOON

"Okay, Now that you know everything about the case. Let's ask you some questions." Sherlock said Looking towards John and then Irene.

"First things first, Did you know our victim?"

Irene rolled her eyes " No! I don't know every single sex worker out there in the city,"

"Okay. Relax lady." John handled the situation

"See, The victim was not a sex worker," John and Sherlock had puzzled expressions so Irene further explained. " The monthly planner. In this industry, Keeping everything confidential is important. If he was a sex worker. He wouldn't have written the names out in everybody's View. Second Jane , Vanessa and Lucy are names of sex clubs. And that black thing you see there," she pointed in the photographs which Sherlock had provided her "That is a gay sex toy, your victim was gay. Also, sex workers are really professional. They have everything in stock. So no condoms was a very simple signal that your social worker is not a sex worker . You're welcome,"

"Oh! She's Good." John said staring her

"I know." Sherlock instantly replied. staring her.

Just then Sherlock received a message from Lestrade.

I'M AFRAID.
