The British Government's Spouse

"The Book, John. The book is the key to cracking the cipher."

I looked through the window and saw it was already daytime. "What?! It's morning already?" I said

Then John woke up from what I said and muttered about him being late for work and him getting ignored by Sherlock who was still in his mind palace. I went to look for some pillows and blankets so I can rest on their sofa. I removed all the books that were on the sofa. Whilst lying on the sofa I observed Sherlock, who was now looking through more books. Not long after I fell asleep.

I woke to the muttering of words and moving around. I saw Sherlock looking through his bookshelf.

"What are you doing?" I asked whilst rubbing sleep out of my eyes But I got ignored as he continued muttering something. I try to listen closely and hear "a book everyone would own"

(This sign means deducing/thinking = * * )

*a book everyone would own, that could possibly mean literally everyone, a Bible? Dictionary?......*

my thoughts were interrupted by John and Sherlock talking

*When did John come back? *

"I need to get some air, we're going out tonight," Sherlock said whilst ruffling his hair

"Actually, I've got a date, "John said

"What?" Asked Sherlock

"Where two people who like each other go out and have fun?" John explained

"That's what I was suggesting," Sherlock said I found his statement amusing * he is still so innocent about relationships isn't he*

"No, it wasn't, at least I hope not, "John said

"Where are you taking her," I asked.

"Err, cinema, "John replied not looking at me

"Dull, boring, predictable" Sherlock said

"Why don't you try this, in London for one night only," Sherlock said and handed John some sort of paper or poster from what I can tell.

"Thanks, but I don't come to you for dating advice, "said John

"You should take his advice John," I said and he looked at me perplexed.

"Oh, sorry didn't realize you were still here," John said

"Yea, I couldn't go home" I explained he just nodded and went to his bedroom.

"Let me guess the poster is a lead to where the smugglers could be," I said, in return, he just smiled and nodded

"Get me a ticket, if you're gonna call back and crash his date," I said as I got up and went to the kitchen to make myself some tea and call my assistant to bring me some clothes and my laptop.

Time skip to the theatre

Sherlock and I saw John with his date getting their tickets.

"Hi, I have 2 tickets reserved for tonight," John said

"The name? " the person asked

"Holmes" John answered

"Actually I have 4 under that name." Said the person, while handing them a ticket

"No I don't think so, we only booked 2," John said

"Then I phoned back and got two for us as well" Sherlock interrupted

"I'm Sherlock" he introduced himself to John's date and shook hands with her

"And I'm y/n sorry to crash your date," I said whilst smiling at her

"Hi, "she said

"Hello, "said Sherlock, then he just left, I stared at him and shook my head.
