Sister Dear (BBC Sherlock)

Not really Mycroft

"Everything from stem cell research to trying to cure the common cold, sir."

"But mostly weaponry?" John asked

"Of one sort or another, yes."

"Biological, chemical ...?"

"One war ends, another begins, sir. New enemies to fight. We have to be prepared."

We continue to walk around till we reach another room with a woman and a group of scientist.

"Doctor Stapleton"

"Yes?"She said looking at Sherlock, John and I "Who's this?"

"Priority Ultra, ma'am. Orders from on high. An inspection."

"Really?" she said raising an eyebrow at us.

"We're to be accorded every courtesy, Doctor Stapleton. What's your role at Baskerville?" sherlock asked in a stern voice

"I'm not free to say. Official secrets." She snorted

"Oh, you most certainly are free ... and I suggest you remain that way." I said forcing a smile

Who does this woman think she is? My sister?

"I have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies. I like to mix things up – genes, mostly; now and again actual fingers." She said

"Stapleton. I knew I knew your name." Sherlock said as he pulled something out of his pocket

"I doubt it."

"People say there's no such thing as coincidence. What dull lives they must lead." he said holding up his notebook, which had "BLUEBELL" written on it.

"Have you been talking to my daughter?"

"Why did Bluebell have to die, Doctor Stapleton? Disappeared from inside a locked hutch, which was always suggestive"

"The rabbit?" John said bewildered

"Clearly an inside job." Sherlock said "Why? Because it glowed in the dark."

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Who are you?"

-----------------------------------

"Well, I think we've seen enough for now, Corporal. Thank you so much." Sherlock said after looking at his watch.

"That's it?"

"That's it" Sherlock said and headed towards the door

"Just a minute!" Stapleton shouted

"Did we just break into a military base to investigate a rabbit?" I wishperd to Sherlock

Sherlock's phone buzzed. "Twenty-three minutes. Mycroft's getting slow."

"Hello ... again.:" Dr Frankland said as we walked into the elevator.Suddenly the door opened to reveal a man in a uniform

"Er, um, Major ..."

"This is bloody outrageous. Why wasn't I told?"

"Major Barrymore, is it? Yes, well, good. Very good.We're very impressed, aren't we,Mycroft?" I said smiling at him

"Deeply; hugely." Sherlock said quickly

"The whole point of Baskerville was to eliminate this kind of bureaucratic nonsense ..." Mayjpr barrymore said sternly

"I'm so sorry, Major." I said

"New policy. Can't remain unmonitored forever. Goodness knows what you'd get up to." Sherlock lied

"Sir!"

"ID unauthorised, sir.I've just had the call."

"What?"

"Who are you?"

"Look, there's obviously been some kind of mistake." I said Oh chaos, I love chaos.

"Clearly not Mycroft Holmes." He said looking at Sherlock "What the hell's going on?!"

"t's all right, Major. I know exactly who these people are."

"You do?"

"Yeah. I'm getting a little slow on faces but Mr. Holmes here isn't someone I expected to show up in this place."

"Ah, well ..."

" Good to see you again, Mycroft."

": I had the honour of meeting Mr. Holmes at the W.H.O. conference in ... Brussels, was it?"

"Vienna."

"This is Mr. Mycroft Holmes, Major. There's obviously been a mistake.

"Thank you." I said after we walked out of the building

"This is about Henry Knight, isn't it?"
