Stupid Law 32
A/N: Thank you all for the continued support Enjoy as Mycroft throws a curveball…
John and Sherlock both realised as Mycroft had been led away that they would be in for it once they got back to London. They decided to get a head start so they wouldn't have to face the Mycroft stare the whole way home.
"He really wasn't happy Sherlock…but at least we have a video to pass around the Yard!" said John as they pushed the door open to Baker Street. Sherlock nodded in agreement, still smirking at the look on his brother's face back in Colorado. They climbed the stairs and as they entered the sitting room the familiar black umbrella was lying on the table.
"Brother mine that was not very nice and so I warn you both to be vigilant. We wouldn't want you to break any more laws no would we?" he drawled in his usual manner. The boys realised that they were in big trouble and for the next few days they were walking on eggshells. It wasn't until the following week before they realised the power Mycroft held over them.
On Monday morning Sherlock noticed the tail and by Wednesday John could feel the eyes following him everywhere he went. Neither of them could point fingers because by the time they turned around the faceless disappeared into the crowd. On Friday Sherlock and John sat in Speedy's Café drinking tea…(Mrs Hudson was away for the weekend).
"Frankly I'm surprised Sherlock, that your brother hasn't done something to us yet. We've been home for over a week now and all he has done has followed us!" mulled John taking another sip of his drink.
"John he is planning something, and is simply securing all the necessary equipment for the task in hand as is my brother's way" replied Sherlock matter -of- factly. John had to agree with the detective and they didn't have long to wait for their answer.
Lestrade entered the café five minutes later, Sally Donavan at his side. At first the boys presumed it was for a case but then they saw the handcuffs and realised that somehow they must have broken a law. Neither John nor Sherlock knew of any law they possibly could have broken as they had been researching thoroughly for the past week.
"Alright boys I have the lovely job of arresting you both and bringing you to the Yard yet again on the orders of your brother. It would appear that you have broken a law which states that it is illegal to drink tea on a Friday morning in London" Lestrade barely managing to keep his face straight.
Sherlock protested at this pointing out that he had checked all the stupid laws the previous day and that this was not one of them.
"Well Sherlock it has only just come into effect as of 9 o clock this morning and ends in…about 3 minutes time. It would appear someone has a lot of influence over government policy…I wonder who that could be?" mused Lestrade.
When they reached the Yard they had a welcoming committee including the offender in all his governmental attire. He was smirking and wielding that ridiculous umbrella in victory.
"Now Sherlock remember this the next time you try and trick me. I have the power to create laws specifically tailored to both you and Dr. Watson and I would hate for you to fall victim to any more" were Mycroft's final words before he sauntered away, knowing that the boys would not attempt anything of the sort again….
A/N: Naughty Mycroft…Well he is the British Government…let me know what you think…once again if you have any law that you would like to see I would be happy to accommodate!
