You: How's the diet? -SH
Stranger: Very funny Sherlock.. -MH
You: I know. -SH
Stranger: What do you want? -MH
You: Bored. -SH
You: Any leads on Moriarty? Lestrades been less than helpful since my 'death.' -SH
Stranger: No. Nothing I'm afraid. We're keeping tabs on his sniper Moran, who seems to be targeting John.. -MH
You: How is Lestrade by the way? Helping with the diet at all? -SH
Stranger: Lestrade is fine. -MH
You: and WHY wasn't I informed about this? -SH
Stranger: Because you would most likely go do something stupid -MH
You: Do you have him under surveillance? -SH
Stranger: Clearly. His every move is being watched. -MH
You: Good. -SH
You: He'll notice eventually you know. -SH
Stranger: I think he already has. -MH
You: You'll have to have a contingency plan. -SH
You: Damn. What'd he do? He hates being watched. -SH
Stranger: Sherlock. This is not your battle to fight. Stay out of it -MH
You: He's being targeted by the second in command to my battle Mycroft. He's relevant. -SH
Stranger: You cannot handle Moran Sherlock. He's not like Moriarty. You can't talk your way around him -MH
You: No, but I can break his neck. -SH
You: Progress in Norway. Moving to Germany tomorrow. -SH
Stranger: This man has the great shot in Europe. He's also hugely strong and a deft hand with knives. You wouldn't live long enough to get near his neck -MH
You: I'm proficient with poison darts when I need to be. -SH
You: Crude yes, but effective nonetheless. -SH
Stranger: Sherlock. Stay out of it. -MH
You: Holdon to your knickers Mycroft I'm in Norway. -SH
You: Besides Moriarty's web is unraveling. I'll be home soon enough. -SH
Stranger: How is his web unravelling? -MH
You: I'm ripping it apart. -SH
You: Why else would I be doing all this? -SH
You: Oh, that's precious Mycroft it really is. -SH
Stranger: Whats precious? -MH
You: You don't even know why I left do you? -SH
You: He's alive Mycroft. -SH
You: Moriarty's still out there. -SH
Stranger: I'd gathered that much Sherlock. I'm not a complete imbecile. But I think it would be more in your line to come home and talk to John. -MH
You: Too close to stop. -SH
You: I can taste it. -SH
You: ...How is he? -SH
Stranger: Devastated. Tried to kill himself last week -MH
You: My, god Mycroft. -SH
Stranger: Lestrade found him just as he was about to pull the trigger -MH
You: How could you let that HAPPEN? -SH
You: He's under SURVEILLANCE for god's sake. -SH
Stranger: How could I let this happen?! Sherlock.. This is your fault. The man is broken because of you -MH
You: Why would he care enough about me to take his own life? -SH
You: What could that possibly accomplish? -SH
You: And you started this mess Mycroft. You made me break him. -SH
Stranger: Think about it Sherlock. He loves you -MH
Stranger: And this is not my fault. Do not try to pin this on me. I've done everything I could for you and this is how you thank me?? By accusing me? -MH
You: You CREATED Richard Brook. You forced me into hiding. -SH
You: What do you mean he loves me? That's preposterous. -SH
Stranger: He is in love with you. I'm surprised you hadn't noticed. -MH
Stranger: Moriarty was going to get you in whatever way he could. I gave you the best option Sherlock -MH
You: That doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't he say anything? -SH
You: No, you gave him me, Mycroft. My whole life. For a keycode. -SH
You: It's not even real. It's was music for god's sake. -SH
Stranger: I did what had to be done. -MH
You: Oh, and I suppose you were 'just following orders' while we're quoting cliches. -SH
You: Why would John love me? I don't understand. -SH
Stranger: He didn't say anything because its you. Sex frightens you and you don't understand feelings. He thinks you're asexual -MH
You: ...why does a lack of sex exclude the possibility of love? -SH
You: That's stupid. -SH
You: ...Is he going to be alright? I miss him. -SH
Stranger: So you do love him.. -MH
You: Yes, and I suppose I love Mrs. Huson as well then? -SH
You: Was he committed? Please Mycroft I need to know he's going to be okay. -SH
You: This is pointless without John...-SH
Stranger: He's fine. Lestrade and I spent all yesterday evening with him. He's fine Sherlock -MH
You: Are you sure? What if he tries again? -SH
You: Statistically he's significantly more likely to try again now that he has once. -SH
You: You have to watch him for me. -SH
You: Is he...is he still with Mary? -SH
Stranger: Sherlock! I've got it covered. -MH
Stranger: Yes.. He is -MH
You: Good...she'll take care of him...-SH
Stranger: He's not happy with her though -MH
You: How can you tell? He seemed fine with her. -SH
You: More than any of the others anyway. -SH
You: I don't know why he goes after them. They never have anything in common with him. -SH
You: They can barely hold onto a conversation when they aren't fucking like rabbits. -SH
Stranger: Jealous are you Sherlock? -MH
You: Sometimes even Bluebell. I had no idea they made glow in the dark condoms...-SH
You: I'm not jealous, are you jealous of Lestrade's wife? -SH
You: Why would I be jealous? There's nothing to be jealous of. -SH
Stranger: Don't bring Lestrade into this.. -MH
Stranger: And you are clearly very jealous -MH
You: Why not? It's seems to be a very relevant comparison. -SH
You: Heartbreaking really. -SH
You: What's there son's name again? -SH
You: Ah, yes Rupert. Such a lovely name. -SH
You: He does so look like his father. -SH
Stranger: Shut up Sherlock. Shut up! -MH
You: Oh dear brother I seem to have hit a nerve. -SH
Stranger: No.. You haven't hit a nerve. Don't be so arrogant -MH
You: Oh yes, how many children do they have now? Four? -SH
You: No, no that when I left so it must be five by now. -SH
You: Did they get everything sorted afterall? -SH
Stranger: Yes. Yes.. They're fine now. -MH
You: Oh, how lovely. -SH
Stranger: Shut up Sherlock. Its not funny -MH
You: Who said I was laughing? -SH
You: And a little on the side's not too bad, hm? -SH
Stranger: I don't know what you're talking about.. -MH
You: Of course not. Plausible deniabilty I suppose. -SH
Stranger: Whatever you think is going on.. You're wrong -MH
You: Of course not. -SH
You: *A week later.*
You: Germany and France are done. -SH
Stranger: And? -MH
You: Any progress with the Russians? -SH
You: I could use their expertise. -SH
Stranger: Yes. Contact Anton Dubrovsky. And tell him I sent you. He'll help with whatever you need -MH
You: Thank you. -SH
You: ...and about Lestrade. -SH
Stranger: ..What about him? -MH
You: I may have been...harsh. -SH
Stranger: What? -MH
You: About what I said before. -SH
Stranger: Yes. Well. It doesn't matter. He has a wonderful family. I'm happy for him.. -MH
You: He deserves better. -SH
You: ...So do you. -SH
Stranger: It's irrelevant what I want. -MH
You: Right, well. He seemed to take a liking to you. -SH
You: Did you ever see him again? In person I mean. -SH
Stranger: Every now and again. -MH
You: Good. -SH
You: He's always said you were 'the reasonable one.' Whatever that means. -SH
Stranger: It means I'm the one less likely to mess up his crime scenes.. -MH
You: And the one less likely to solve them. -SH
You: You clean up. -SH
You: You put them there sometimes. He ignores that you know. -SH
You: He knows enough to put it together, but he ignores it. -SH
You: Not that it would matter at any rate. -SH
Stranger: What do you mean? -MH
You: Let's just say when he gets an order from higher up to overlook something. -SH
You: He knows where it's coming from. That's the only reason he does it. -SH
You: He trusts you. -SH
Stranger: As he should. I am a very trustworthy person! -MH
You: Come now, Mycroft, we both know it's more than that. -SH
Stranger: Its not. Theres nothing more -MH
You: He only trusts people he respects. -SH
Stranger: He respects you.. But he doesn't trust you -MH
You: I'm not trying to insinuate anything. As I said before I may have been preemptive. -SH
You: Good. He shouldn't. I don't trust anyone. -SH
You: How'd mum handle it? -SH
Stranger: Handle what? -MH
You: Did you tell her the truth? -SH
You: Or did she find out through the papers? -SH
Stranger: About your death? -MH
You: No about the toothfairy. -SH
Stranger: Oh she was devastated because her darling genius Sherlock was dead. I haven't told her the truth yet. You know our mother.. She doesn't keep secrets -MH
You: She always was a gossip. -SH
You: How the hell are we going to tell her I'm alive? -SH
Stranger: Oh we'll figure out something. I'm sure she'll be too happy to be actually mad about it -MH
You: True. -SH
You: Is John any better? -SH
Stranger: No. -MH
Stranger: You need to come back soon Sherlock. For him -MH
You: I know. -SH
You: * 6 months later *
You: Finished on my end. -SH
You: He's dead. -SH
Stranger: About time. John can't survive for much longer Sherlock. -MH
Stranger: He's dead? -MH
You: Before you ask no. -SH
You: I didn't have to. -SH
You: Aneurysm of all things. -SH
Stranger: Fine. Just come home now -MH
You: And yes, I checked and had it burned. -SH
You: Did you get Seb? -SH
Stranger: Yes. We have him in a holding cell -MH
You: This seems like a good opportunity to 'look the other way.' -SH
You: He's too dangerous alive. He's not playing anymore. -SH
Stranger: I'm not finished with him Sherlock. He's my property now. You don't need to worry about it. Just go home to John. -MH
You: They loved each other. Literally went to the edge of the world for each other. -SH
You: I am. -SH
You: I don't think I can make it any faster than a few days. Maybe a week. -SH
You: Weather. -SH
Stranger: He'll be fine until then. -MH
You: Good. -SH
You: And Mycroft? -SH
Stranger: Yes Sherlock? -MH
You: Thank you. -SH
You: For John. For keeping him safe. -SH
You: For everything. -SH
Stranger: Its fine Sherlock. I did my best for you both. -MH
You: Did you ever talk to Greg? -SH
Stranger: No.. I didn't -MH
You: You should you know. -SH
You: He'd like that. -SH
Stranger: I highly doubt that Sherlock -MH
You: Well then you don't know him as-well as you think you do. -SH
You: *a few days later *
You: I'm at the Airport. -SH
Stranger: I'm outside. The black car -MH
You: "Miss me?" Sherlock asked pulling off his fake beard.
Stranger: Mycroft rolled his eyes and leaned back in his seat. "Just get in the car.."
You: "What is it today? It was Anthea the last time we met." He asked Mycroft's assisstant.
Edited for OOC and spelling. This is my favorite RP yet!! I love the Holmes brothers interacting. AND she agreed to continue as John! I'm going to try and make her join the site because we need more people. and I thought she made a good mycroft.
