New York Detectives (Book 3)

Chapter 12

"Hello?" I answered, opening the car door after Sherlock unlocked it.
"Des, I have some info on Nathan!" Sarah excitedly said, and I paused, waiting for her to continue.
"When was he kidnapped?" Sarah asked and I closed my eyes, trying to remember.
"Um, a little over a week ago." I said and she chuckled.
"Well, my co-worker interviewed him yesterday." She said.
"What?!" I exclaimed and I looked up to Sherlock, who was already in the car, and I got in too, keeping the phone to my ear. I reached over and closed the door.
"Yeah, he said he was fine. But listen, I gotta go. I'll text you his details soon." She said and I nodded.
"Alright, sounds good. Thank you again, Sarah. Have a good night." I said and hung up, shaking my head and buckling.
"What? What happened?"Sherlock asked and I looked at him.
"Well, Sarah said that one of her co-workers had a recent interview with Nathan." I said as I lifted my hips a bit, and slid my phone into my pocket. I sat back down and looked out the window.
"And how recent is that?" He asked and I dryly laughed.
"Oh, just yesterday." I stated and Sherlock looked at me, then back to the road.
"That's impossible. He's been kidnapped for a week!" Sherlock said and I nodded, agreeing with him. I watched the buildings and skyscrapers as Sherlock drove past them.
"Let's go back to the house so I can think." I said as I rubbed my face. Sherlock nodded and stopped at a store first, so we were able to grab groceries, seeing as Mycroft filled the house with healthy foods. I grabbed my wallet from the glove compartment and opened the door, already walking towards the store.
"Will you wait up?" Sherlock asked as he walked towards me and I laughed, grabbing an abandoned cart.
"Come on, I love to grocery shop!" I said, excitedly, rushing into the store.
"So, we need the good food. The unhealthy food. I can't live on rabbit food. I'm a warrior." I said dramatically and Sherlock chuckled.
"It's from Supernatural." I laughed, looking around the isles. The Christmas aisles had caught my eye and I paused, but turned the cart so I was walking towards it.
"Come on, Lock. We're getting Christmas things. " I exclaimed, passing the nutcrackers. I looked at the tinsel, smiling and grabbing the red and gold one.
"Why are we buying decoration?" He asked and I shrugged, looking at the wall stickers and picking one up with penguins on them. I "awed" at them, placing them inside the cart.
"Why not throw the mistletoe in there while you're at it?" Sherlock sarcastically remarked and I looked at him, putting my Bitch face on.
"Now that you mention it, I think I will." I smirked, looking for mistletoe plants.
"You know how I feel about Christmas, Destiny." He said and I smirked.
"I'm not asking you to buy me anything, Babe. I just want to decorate the house. Give it that touch of Christmas Magic." I said, knowing I don't need to pout or beg, just be me and he'll give in.
"Fine." he grumbled and I smirked, finding a mistletoe and putting it above his head.
"Oh, that must be sad. You're alone under the mistletoe, no one to kiss." I said, putting a hand on my hip and he smirked, grabbing my waist and pulling me to him.
"Now I do." He said and kissed me, smiling. I chuckled and looked at him, a smile on my face.
"Will that be the kiss that I get under every mistletoe?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Possibly."
"Good, then I'm getting a few and hanging them in a lot of places." I laughed, putting the mistletoe in the cart.
