Stupid Law 8

A/N: So back to normal now. Thanks for all the kind reviews on the last chapter. Glad to see so many of you liked it. Let the revenge continue!

Sherlock had dragged John out of Baker St. insisting that it was absolutely necessary that he come with him to solve a case. John was not in a good mood and as they got into the cab his mood was deteriorating.

"Why could you not bloody solve one on your own for a change Sherlock? I don't see why you have to drag me out every time." Sherlock stared at John and a smile spread across his face.

"Oh John I think you will want to witness this particular arrest. It is a high profile member of the British Government." John was curious now, but Sherlock refused to talk for the remainder of the journey. He simply sat in silence staring out the window.

The cab dropped them at a bar near the centre of the city and John was surprised. This did not look like the kind of place high profile people would be found. Sherlock, however, strode passed John and straight into the bar. John followed and was not prepared for the sight that met him when he entered.

A very drunk Mycroft was standing at the bar singing at the top of his voice. For a very proper man this was a very undignified thing to behold. His eyes lit up when he saw the two men enter and called them over.

"Brother how are you?...oh and….emm…John too…I'll but you a drink!" at this point he stumbled and was pushed back against the bar by Sherlock.

"Hey John…I want to…to tell you that I am so happy that Sheeerlock found you and that he has someone to look out for him" Mycroft was grinning insanely now and John was slightly unnerved. Sherlock noticed and put John's mind at rest.

"Don't worry John I have seen worse. This is only the early stages" Mycroft fell flat on his face at this point and once again Sherlock dragged him to his feet.

"Oh Thank you Sherlock…I owe you my life you know…if it wasn't for you I'd be…" Sherlock cut across him and John was left wondering. The wondering was put to one side when Lestrade walked in. John looked around to see who was going to be arrested but Lestrade headed straight towards them. Suddenly it clicked and everything made sense.

"Here you are Lestrade if you wish to do the honours?" Sherlock almost laughed as he handed his brother over. Lestrade tried to keep a straight face as he read Mycroft his rights and placed the handcuffs over his wrists. Mycroft looked confused and sounded slightly pathetic when he pleaded with Sherlock.

"Sherly…what's going on? No they can't do this…I'm not doing anything wrong…..Shhhheeerrrrllloook" Lestrade managed to guide him to the car and placed him carefully into the back seat.

John felt slightly guilty but still laughed when Sherlock explained what had just happened on their return to Baker St.

"John it was time to get my own back on Mycroft and I couldn't resist when I received this text earlier." With this he handed John his phone. It read:

Sherly…I love you soooooo much brother I nerd u two no I meen it rely.

John actually burst into giggles at this and Sherlock wasn't far behind him. The two men sounded like school girls.

"You…realise…this…is...going…to...mean…war…with…Mycroft" John managed after taking several breaths. Sherlock nodded and then shrugged his shoulders.

"Who cares it was worth it John…I may never get that opportunity again. It was his own fault…and who makes a law like 'It is illegal to be drunk on a Licenced Premises.'"

'Well that is true' John thought as he sat back in his armchair and picked up the book he had been about to start before Sherlock haddecided to take him on his little escapade. For the first time the Holmes' brothers' childish feud had a good outcome for John and he was thoroughly enjoying watching the war unfold.

It was Mycroft's move now and he knew that it would be interesting and unexpected. Sherlock better watch out…but John was sure he would be waiting patiently.

A/N: Don't know about this one. Please let me know what you think. Will try and improve for the next time! It's midnight and my concentration is slightly lacking. Hope you enjoyed it all the same.
