Stupid Law- An interlude
A/N: This is just a quick filler to compliment chapter 11. I know I left it hanging slightly. A short missing scene.
Sherlock waited for the call from his brother. He knew it would come but the one he received was slightly different to the one he had been expecting. The voice from the other end was indeed his brother but he sounded…well…scared.
"Emm…Sherlock I have lifted your curfew so you can do what you want and this little prank of yours was not very appropriate. If it had reached the papers the Government would have been in a lot of trouble. I expect that you will refrain from doing this in the future. Goodbye." With that Mycroft was gone and Sherlock was left reeling from his statement. He had not wanted to cause any real harm. Something, though, had happened to his brother which had made the situation serious. He had to find out.
On the other hand this may just be a way to put him of his guard and Mycroft was just planning his revenge. Somehow it didn't feel right though. John picked on Sherlock's evident change in demeanour and asked him what was going on. Sherlock shrugged it off and just said that his brother wasn't too happy about his little prank. He also told him that his curfew had been removed. John was relieved; finally he could have a semi-normal life back.
Sherlock sat on the sofa and tried to figure out what was going on. He had not been sitting for more than five minutes when he received a text message. He opened it and new instantly that a new party had joined their game. The text read as follows:
Sherlock time to have some fun. I have left you a surprise. Have some fun. Be entertaining!
Like a shot Sherlock's mind kicked into action and John jumped completely startled by this sudden burst of energy. There was an almost manic grin on his face.
"John the game is back on and now it is even more interesting." He handed the phone to John whose eyes widened in realisation.
"But…why...what possible reason…what are you planning to do Sherlock?" John spluttered at this sudden revelation.
"Oh you just watch John. This will be fun. A whole new mind to conquer; and someone beat at this little game of ours." John couldn't help but agree. This would be interesting now that the second most dangerous man in London wanted some of the action. He had been watching and now it was his move.
With no more thought about it Sherlock grabbed his coat and scarf and minutes later John followed him down the stairs and they entered the maze that was the streets of London. A giant playground for the forward and back law breaking game that had broken out between the Holmes brothers, John and this new participant.
John was looking forward to the revenge which he could see already forming in Sherlock's mind. An exciting time was to follow and nobody could deny that. The stepped into a cab and drove off into the night!
A/N: Hope you enjoy this filler to keep you going while I write a brilliant and funny next chapter. Please leave me a review. I like reading them!
