Almost Wanted

Case Solved.

Dinner was awkward as you could imagine. Sherlock and you didn't eat. You because you had no appetite. Sherlock claimed he was on a case and refused. John was digging into his plate like a starving man. 

"Your not eating." Sherlock stated after glancing over the crowd a couple times. 

"Nice observation. Not hungry." You replied also glancing between each face in the crowd. Sherlock didn't say anything just watched you for a second. 

"What do you see?" He asked after a second. 

"At least three wives here are pregnant with another man's child. Four of the men are hooking up with someone else . Three are faking being in a relationship and only two are comfortable eating in the nude." You replied quickly. Sherlock hummed before returning to his mostly full plate. 

"Sherlock is teaching you well." Mycroft said glancing up from his plate. You simply nodded while still looking around. You were trying to memorize the faces of the employees. The sound of arguing drew your attention. 

"I paid good money to come here with my wife and this is how you treat us! We don't need your indecent stares. This whole place is a joke." Some man was yelling. You snorted and looked at the face of the employee. She looked a little empathetic. 

"Don't think I won't demand a refund for this awful service." He said the tiniest bit calmer as he pulled his wife up by the arm. She was red faced but followed along never the less. I watched the employee's face and her empathy turned to anger and  was quickly covered with fake happiness. 

"Oh, I think I have made a break through." You whispered. 

"It was nothing more than a upset customer." Lestrade said waving you off. You gave him a blank stare and stood. 

"Sherlock do you mind?" You asked as you picked up his water. He smiled and let you take it. You smiled and made your way across the room to the lady who was trying to recover from the yelling man. 

"Excuse me, miss. I honestly don't know if you can help me." You said feigning stress. The lady glanced at you and tried desperately to hide her annoyance. 

"I am sure I can help you. What do you need?" She said. 

"well, I have been trying to call one of your servers over. They got my husbands order wrong and after that arse that yelled at you I thought I would help you out." You whispered offering her a sheepish smile. 

"Oh, don't worry about that. It happens all the time. None of my servers have come to help you? I am so sorry. What was wrong with your order?" She asked immediately relaxing. 

"Honestly he ordered a pop and they gave him a water. I assume they just got a little mixed up, but then they wouldn't come over. They were actually to focused on their mobiles to care. I hate to sound like a small child, but it was awful service." You said easing you way into getting the reaction you wanted. 

"I am so sorry. I can take care of this for you." She said clearly annoyed. 

"Thank you. I own a business and I wouldn't pay money for such awful employees. I could put the money to other uses, inside and outside the business." You said with a small smile. She glanced at you and paused trying to make a determination. 

"He told me no one would know where the money was going." She whispered glancing around. 

"I mentioned I was coming here with my husband and a couple close friends. All married of course. He told me that this was one of his funders. I just guessed that you knew what was going on." I said flipping my hair over my shoulder.
