Not Everyone Needs A Title

Chapter 15

India

She read the text. She didn't really understand it but she didn't ask what it meant. She didn't really care. Lyndsi went out to the living room where Sherlock was on his phone texting someone. He smiles at her as he sees her.

"Care to join me for a case?"

"Sorry?"

"I'm a consulting Detective. I have a case at the moment, would you like to come"

"Ohhhh. Yes. Yes I would."

"Perfect. John has work anyway. First we have to introduce you to Lestrade." He grabs his coat and scarf as he usually does. But he stops when he notices Lyndsi staring at him

"Are you alright?" He asks concerned

"You still have it. The coat. When did you get it?" She asks softly

"The day you died" he answers truthful

"Mycroft kept his umbrella too. Never puts it down." He says

She smiles almost sadly at him and goes out. Sherlock follow her slightly confused.

"Freaks back." Sally says

Lyndsi's head snaps towards the woman. She knew that voice. She almost killed the owner of that voice. In the 7th grade.

"You" she says to her

"You" Sally says back almost afraid

Lyndsi looks around real quick before shoving her forearm against Sally's throat. She gags and glares at Lyndsi. Sherlock had since moved on with the case along with the other officers

"Rule #1: don't piss me off
Rule #2: don't even think about Sherlock Holmes. And come to think of it, I never got to finish what I started."

"You're crazy"

"You're just getting that now? You have one, one, more chance to not piss me off. You fuck that up you can forget about ever using your legs again. Are we clear?" Lyndsi says

"Crystal" she says hoarsely

"Good." She releases Sally

Sally stoops over trying to get air back to her lungs while Lyndsi runs to catch up with Sherlock.

"Why on God's earth do you work with Sally?" She asks him

"She works with Scotland Yard not with me. She hates me. Why?"

"That's the Sally. The one from 7th grade"

"Oh. Really?"

"God you're thick. Did you just delete everything from school? And that's why you didn't remember me?" She asks

"I'm sorry. I couldn't cope. Mycroft shut me out and mother wouldn't stop crying."

"I'm sorry. I really am." She hugs him quickly

"Also Sally might try to get me arrested." Lyndsi says with a sly smile

"What for?"

"Assault." She says before moving faster.

Her phone goes off again for the second time in half an hour.

Lima

Are you drunk?

She smiles softly to herself even though she knows she shouldn't. She stiffs her phone back in her pocket when Sherlock catches up.

"What was that?" He asks
