Touch Him = Death

Ch.1

"Everybody's gonna love today

Gonna love today, gonna love today

Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to

Love love me, love love me, love love"

"I've been crying for so long

Fighting tears just to carry on

But now, but now it's gone away!!!"

I belted out the song lyrics and pranced around stage in my short shorts, crop top, and high heals waving my head of curls around and I moved. I swung my hips around and danced on stage as if I was part of the crowd in front of the stage. I loved this job. It was only part time, but it was great. I work at a club called The British Patriot which seemed sort of ironic considering I was American. I always worked on request night, meaning people would request songs and I would sing them. I finished the last part of the song and since it was my last song of the night I gave a bow and thanked everyone for coming. I walked off stage and found a familiar face waiting for me.

"Ah Mycroft, what a pleasure it is to see you," I said extending my hand toward him. He smiled politely and took my hand in his before kissing my knuckles.

"The pleasure is all mine dearest Adeline." He said.

"And this must be-" But before I could finish my sentence a loud bass drop sounded and drowned me out. I motioned with my arm for Mycroft and his two friends to follow me. I weaved through the crowd and looked behind me ever so often just to make sure my company was still behind me.

As I pushed through the crowd I was given several compliments, which I could not understand, but I just smiled and nodded anyways. I even got some flowers and a card. I nodded my thanks and hurried to the back of the club.

I opened a door in the back with the sign "EMPLOYEES ONLY" sign on it. I then proceeded down the hallway to a door with my name printed on a cheap star sicker on it. I opened the door and threw the flowers on the coffee table before turning around to meet Mycroft's friends.

"Adeline, This is my brother Sherlock Holmes and his college John Watson. Boys this is Adeline Williams your new bodyguard." He said motioning his hand out to the both of them.

I shook John's hand first, "Dr. Watson it is a pleasure to meet you." I said with a flirty smile. He blushed at my boldness.

"John please. Uhm if you don't mind me asking, how did you know I was a doctor?" He asked looking slightly puzzled.

I chuckled and let go of his hand " I read the paper too ya know. And I got a briefing packet on both you and Mr. Holmes" I said nodding towards Mycroft.

I turned towards Sherlock Holmes and also extended my hand out to him as well "It is great to finally meet you Mr. Homles. I can honestly say that I am a huge fan. I am especially a fan of the way you died, but you didn't die. God it was magical, so not..... boring." I said grasping his hand tightly to show that I was strong, not like a man would expect of a women.

"Sherlock. I would prefer you called me Sherlock, Mr.Holmes makes me sound old like my brother." He said with a grin ans his eyes flickered towards Mycroft. "And thank you. I believe you are the first one to complement me on that magnificent trick."

"I didn't think it was very magnificent." John whispered and I turned towards him giving him a sad smile.

"So you are American, interesting." Sherlock said giving me an up down and rubbing his chin.

"Is that all you've got on me?" I asked raising a challenging eyebrow. I heard Mycorft and John sigh behind me and it only caused me to laugh.

"No actually, I know that you are in your mid-twenties, you are 5'6 which is small for a bodyguard, but I suppose it would help with your speed and agility and it might actually make John look taller standing next to someone who is shorter than him. You have well manicured nails. but they are a plain natural color showing that you are not the goddy type. You have your own dressing room showing that you have a steady job here, but it is only part time based off the lack of personal materials in here. You have naturally curly hair, but the curls are not the kind you want causing you to curl your hair creating synthetic curls. That is all I have for now, but if I saw a personal item, such as a phone or a picture, I might be able to tell you more." I looked over at Mycroft and John who looked unphased while I just stood there with my mouth open.

Then I started applauding and smiled "That was great I have a picture that I can show you later when we have time and see what you can tell me from that."

He smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

"Well I suppose we should talk about the business arrangements and living arrangements am I correct?" Mycroft asked.

About an hour letter we came to an agreement. I was to live with Sherlock and John sort of like a nanny. I was to be given a large amount of money for food and bills and living, etc. I was being paid 10,000 pounds a month. I was to get my own ride. My weapons were to be supplied by the government, and I was to be seen as a secret body guard, but I would have to follow Sherlock and John everywhere.

"Alright, well that settles that. I'm happy to have you aboard Mrs. Williams I will be seeing you." Then Mycroft said a fast goodbye and walked swiftly out the door and disappeared down the hallway.

"Well then, lets run by your flat grab your things, and then settle you into your new home." John said placing his hand on the small of my back and leading me out of the room and down the hallway, making small talk as we walked with Sherlock following silently behind us.
