As Irene left the room, she ran into Joan.
'What were you doing in his room?.'
'Saying goodbye.'
'Good. You've caused enough trouble.' She was about to go in when Irene grabbed her arm.
'Look, the only reason i did all those things was to protect him.'
'By letting them kidnap his girlfriend? Some protection.'
'The only reason i did that was... because i was jealous.'
'Of me?. She nodded 'Why?.'
'I was still in love him. I still am. He was the only man who was so challenging and difficult to figure out. I liked it, found it..kinda sexy. Then i saw how he was with you and i couldn't handle it. I'm sorry for what they put you through. I won't be bothering you anymore.' She left, Joan watched her go. She felt ashamed somehow, probably for realizing that she only did what she did because they both loved the same man enough that they would do anything for him. She looked at her one last time then went into the room.
'Hey.'
'Hey.' She leaned down and kissed him. 'How you doing?.'
'Lots better. Plus, because of the scar, i now have a memento of this joyous occasion.' Joan giggled. 'Hear anything from Gregson?.'
'They haven't found anything. Its like he just dis-appeared.'
'I'm sure he'll resurface soon. He hasn't finished the job.' Joan took his hand. 'You know, i honestly thought i was going to die. I lay there thinking... this is it.'
'But your still here. That's what counts.'
'Thanks to you.' He kissed the back of her hand. They smiled at each other.
'When are you allowed to come home?.'
'In a few days.'
'I suppose i can wait that long.'

As Irene left the hospital, a car pulled up in front of her. The door opened and she got in.
'I'm sorry.'
'Sorry? Sorry doesn't begin to cover it. You will continue to work for me until the job is done.'
'What if i refuse?.'
'You can expect a visit of your own.'

'Gregson!.' He came back in. 'You have to get back there somethings just happened to him.'
'What happened?.'
'I don't know, we're talking and all I heard was a gunshot.' She looked at Gregson who was looking at the floor like he was ashamed. 'You knew?.' He said nothing. 'You knew.'
'I'm...'
'Don't. Don't even say your sorry, you hypothetically pulled the trigger.'
'How is this my fault?.'
'You could have phoned your men from the hospital phone and told them to go in there.'
'There wouldn't have been a different outcome,By the time they got in there he would have pulled the trigger anyway.' Joan shook...

Own Risk.

'Sherlock...' The man grabbed her by her hair to shut her up.
'Don't you touch her.' The man turned to face him.
'Or what?. How are you gonna stop me? I'm the one with the gun.' He pointed it at Joan's head. 'One wrong move.'
'You won't use it, on her anyway.'
'How do you know?.'
'The way your holding it. I noticed over the years that when criminals hold guns, they hold it a certain way when they really mean their going to fire it. The way your holding says you have no intention of killing her.' The man looked at Joan then threw her to the floor. 'Now, why did you take her?.'
'It was the only way...

Can't Be Explained.

The search came up with nothing. They manged to wipe the place clean of any evidence. Gregson gave Sherlock a lift back to brownstone, he didn't say a word the whole ride there.
'Thank you captain.' He got out of the car.
'No problem. You know where i am...'
'If i need anything.' He opened the door and went inside. He hung up his coat and went into the living room, 'Joan' was sitting on the couch. 'How are you still here?.'
'It's your subconscious.' He went and sat next to her. 'What's wrong?.'
'Irene gave us a dead end. We're still no closer to finding you.' She placed a hand on his thigh.
'It'll...

Gone Again.

For the past two days, Sherlock didn't sleep. He was so focused on finding her that sleep wasn't an option anymore. He placed all the evidence on the wall above the fireplace and tried to piece them all together but he couldn't find any link. Who ever this is, they're very good, They had him stumped. He sat down on the couch with his head in his hands and sighed. After a moment he looked back up and saw 'Joan' standing in the corner.
'I know i'm not asleep or on drugs so how can you be here?.'
'Because you haven't slept in two days, you need to rest and you better not be on drugs.' She went over...

The Sentence.

posted by nickjonasfan001

Sherlock sat waiting in the interview room, he always knew he would be behind the desk as a criminal at some point. After a minuet, Bell came in.
'Detective.'
'Mr Holmes.' He sat down. 'It's been awhile.'
'Almost a month, i believe.' Bell put the case file on the desk.
'Shall we?.' He opened it and spread the contense across the desk. 'Feel free to look.' Holmes lent forward in his seat. 'Now care to explain your relationship with Miss Adler?.'
'There is no relationship.'
'Really? then how come we found this picture of you?.' He pushed it towards Sherlock.
'That was from a few years ago.'
'But you...

Where To Go?

posted by nickjonasfan001

Sherlock didn't get much sleep, he kept going over different scenarios in his head. What if he chose to stay here in New York with Joan?. He knew he would have a happy life with her. But what if he went back to London with Irene?. Would it be the same as before or would it be different?. He knew he couldn't have both. He had three days left to decide. He was about to go downstairs when he passed Joans room, He opened the door and looked inside. He missed having her around. He sighed and headed downstairs. His phone went off, It was Gregson.
'Captain.'
'Holmes, i'm giving you heads up. The police...

An Ultimatum.

posted by nickjonasfan001

Sherlock sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for his phone to ring. He should have just told her what was going on then none of this would be happening. His phone rang. It was Joan
'Hey.'
'Hey. I'm at my parents apartment.'
'When did they buy an apartment?.'
'A couple of years ago. They rent it when they don't use it for visits.' They stayed silent for a moment.
'Do they know why your there?.'
'I don't know what to say. I can't tell them the truth because we never told them that we were together and they would have all these questions...'
'I understand. Just..tell them what you have to. I wish this...

Caught

Joan woke early. She rolled over and looked at Sherlock. He was still asleep. She placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. so she wouldn't wake him, and went downstairs. She found her bag and pulled out the envelopes. She didn't know what to do about them. They were addressed to Sherlock so what would Gregson being doing with them? She was torn. She wanted to know what was in them but then that would be betraying Sherlock's trust.
'Joan!?
She heard him.
'I'm down here!.' She shoved the envelopes back in her bag. After a moment, Sherlock came downstairs
'Your up early.'
'I couldn't sleep.' She went into...

Bang Bang.

Sherlock woke to find that Joan wasn't next to him. He got up and went her room, He found her lying in her bed. He crawled in next to her and just started at her. He couldn't help but think about what it would do to her if she found out what he did. He leaned in and kissed her forehead gently. Joan stirred then woke to find him smiling at her.
'Hey.'
'Hey. I didn't hear you come in last night.'
'I did get in till 11. My parents can talk.' She sat up and rubbed her eyes. 'And i was thinking...'
'What?.'
'How about we tell them about us together?.' Sherlock thought for a moment then nodded.
'We could.'...

Incriminating Evidence.

posted by nickjonasfan001

The next morning, Joan woke up and turned to look at Sherlock. He was so cute when he was asleep. He seem more at peace with himself.
'Watson, you know it's rude to stare.' She giggled as he turned over so he was on top of her.
'So it's OK when you do it?.'
'When have i?.'
'Yesterday.' They both laughed. 'I need a shower.' Sherlock pinned her down. 'Sherlock.' He gave her a quick kiss then roll off to let her up. He watched her walk into the bathroom then went downstairs. He went into the kitchen and found an envelope with his name on it. He checked the back door and found it was open. It wasn't...

The Reason

posted by nickjonasfan001

A couple of days later. Sherlock was about to go to bed when his phone went off. It was a text from Irene asking to see him one last time before she left. Joan was out seeing her family (She hasn't told them about her and Sherlock yet). He put on his jacket and scarf and left to meet her. He found her sitting in on a park bench.
'Didn't think you would show up.' Sherlock sat down next to her.
'What do you want?.'
'I told you. I wanted to see you before i left.'
'If you wanted to see me you would have come to my flat but no you chose to meet here. There's something else.' She took out her phone...

Unexpected Visitor

posted by nickjonasfan001

Sherlock and Joan have been in a relationship for about a month and things seem to be going great so far...

Joan woke up and went downstairs, still in her nightwear, to find the kitchen was still a mess from last night.

'Sherlock!.'
She heard him tumble out of bed. He came downstairs to the kitchen.
'Didn't i ask you to clean this up last night?.'
'I was going to clean it up this morning when you were still in bed so it would be a nice surprise. I didn't anticipate you being up this early.' He gave her his puppy dog eyes.
'No, don't do that.'
'Do what?.' He moved closer and wrapped his arms around...

Court Of Lies.

posted by nickjonasfan001

The day of the trial arrived. Sherlock finished dressing and went downstairs. He was nervous, mainly for Joan. He found her in the living room with Joseph.
'Hey.'
'Hey, you ok?'
'A little nervous.' He sat down next to her. 'You?'
'Not too bad, just don't want to face her attorney.'
'I know, but we've done nothing wrong. We have nothing to fear.' He took Joseph's hand. 'Uncle Mycroft's looking after you today, go easy on him.'
Joan giggled as Mycroft came out from the kitchen.
'I'm sure uncle Mycroft can look after him for one afternoon.' Joan handed Joseph to him. 'We'll be just fine, won't we?' Joan...
