MYCROFT'S P.O.V
I stared down an the case file, it was thin, it was all we had on the Green Man. No pictures, just five A4 pages of text and case notes, nothing that provided an identity just information on his actions and my brothers. My fingers carefully turned the pages, well not all of his actions, where the hell is he? Four weeks he's been missing four weeks and no trace has turned up, nothing on his debit cards, no contact made through his phone, no contact with his homeless network, where is he?
LUCY'S P.O.V
I passed the ommelete through the hatch to Antonio who smiled before taking it to the person who'd ordered it. I glanced quickly at the booth and froze, dark curls, pale, Sherlock. I hurried out of the kitchen and made my way quickly over to the booth and turned so I could see Sherlock.
"Sherl-" I caught sight of person and my blood ran cold.
"Not quite Lucy Lamb." Dark brown eyes stared back me,
"I-" He chuckled before pressing a finger to my lips,
"Don't speak, but please sit." At this point Andre butted in,
"No she may not, she's got to work." His brown eyes darkened even more,
"I believe you have a fiancee Andre Miles," Andre face turned white,
"How do you know my name?" Moriarty's head tilted slightly to the right, his eyes narrowing,
"You'd rather not want to know, but know this let Lucy sit or your fiancee won't be making it back from work, or maybe she will, but not alive. Now, fuck off." Andre scurried away, Moriarty motioned for me to sit opposite him, I did so and he straigthtened his head up.
"Now tell me where Sherlock Holmes is."
"I don't know where he is." He smirked,
"I don't believe you."
"Lucy, if I knew where he was do you think I'd be sitting here with you?"
"You like to play games."
"Not with something like this, I need to find him, and you need him, I mean look at you, you're practically ready to pop, now I need your help, and in all honesty you need mine, so, meet me next Thursday here, same time, same table, okay?"
"Maybe."
