Chapter 26: Irene Adler

Sherlock

"Are you sure you can walk by yourself?"

John rolled his eyes at Sherlock and nodded.

"I'm not really crippled, you know?" John said, looking at Sherlock. "Just temporarily."

"Still," Sherlock said. "Aren't you uncomfortable with the cane?"

"I got used to it in the Hospital," John shrugged.

They entered the canteen, where Lestrade, Molly and an unfamiliar girl approached them with big smiles on their faces.

"Sherlock! John!" Greg exclaimed. "Glad both of you are back!"

"Yah. I've missed you guys," Molly said.

"Well, two weeks in the hospital are definitely the hardest. I'll need to catch up unlike this smart bastard here," John eyed Sherlock. "Probably just sleeps in class."

"Now that people actually know what I really am and don't bother me too much, yah," Sherlock said with a grin. "Now I will."

"Well, I have to say," the mystery girl stepped forward and smiled at Sherlock. "You're exactly how I thought you'd be."

"Is that a compliment?" Sherlock asked.

"Oh, yes it is." She smiled at him seductively, but Sherlock didn't look away.

"I'm Irene Adler, by the way," she introduced herself, smiling with her teeth showing.

"Sherlock Holmes," Sherlock said. "But I presume you already knew that."

"Of course," Irene met his gaze until Sherlock had to look away.

"Well, John Watson!" Irene exclaimed. "I wish you luck with that limp. Nothing fractured, but please sleep. You're getting bags and it doesn't look good on a handsome lad like you. Maybe take somemedicine for the nightmares. Works for me."

Then Irene left, with John staring at her in both anger and amazement. Sherlock, on the other hand, stared at her with admiration.

I... I may like her. Smart. Shit. Fuck.
