Darlence had to keep the car away and walk all the way from there to Mycroft's And no one seemed to want to help her. Even the heavens decided to make it rain, soaking her from head to toe. She presented herself on her brother's door soaked. His brother wrinkled his nose, 'And where have you been?'
'Fighting off criminals if you really want to know.'
'Enough sarcasm, the truth please.'
'And i thought you were the cleverest of us.'
'It doesn't really matter what you thought.'
'Can I come in? I'm not posing a pretty sight besides being highly uncomfortable -with my clothes sticking on me like a second skin.'
'Good for you.'
'And I don't really want anyone to come here and slip and hurt himself badly on the water I'm dripping off.'
'Alright, come in!'
Mycroft gave her a towel and some warm clothes of his to change into. She sat beside the hearth, in the clearly too large for her clothes and sneezed, Mycroft winced.
"Where were you?'
'Short story or full details?'
'Full details.'
Darlence described her adventures in abored voice, as if getting kidnapped by one of the most feared psychopaths was the part of a daily routine.
'You actually drove back home?'
'Yes and the police almost caught me once but thanks to my genes and slow driving, I got off scot free.'
'Jeans?' asked the elder Holmes in confusion, pointing to a pair of jeans on the hanger, 'What did your jeans do?'
'Genes, idiot!' laughed Dace, 'G-E-N-E-S. I'm tall and look like I'm eighteen atleast. The police did not even notice me.'
'And what happened to your chin?'
A cut actually framed it very well indeed. 'You can't expect me to be Batman -I can't fight three older, bigger, stronger men without getting a blow or two myself.
She had taken one of Mycroft's numerous phones, first thing as she went in and texted Sebastian.
''Who was it, that you had texted?'
"a close friend, and by the way, can i borrow your phone again. Sherlock asked me to call him when I reach. And my phone is practically dead.'
'Fine.'
She did so, and screamed into the phone cheerfully, 'Hey buddy!'
'Darlence! I thought I told you to call me when you reach.' He came back annoyed but anxiety evident in his voice.
'Sorry, old boy. Got into a little fix.'
'Little fix?'
'The cabbie was your bestie- Sebastian Moran actually, but I missed my chance of meeting Moriarty in person.'
'Stay there, I'll be coming over in some minutes.' He said and hung up.
'Yes, as if I had huge plans to disappear right now.' Darlence clicked in annoyance.
'So how's school, Dace?'asked Mycroft.
'School's fine.' Dace gulped- the dreaded answer, 'I-'
''I- what?'
'I am suspended for a month.' se finished quickly before the fireworks exploded.
