Who is She?

Chapter 1

Who is she?

Chapter 1: Spying are we Mycroft?

Mycroft Holmes sat behind his grand oak desk at the Government offices, looking at the computer in front of him. There on the screen he sat behind, was the CCTV footage from outside Molly Hooper's house.

He only meant to flick through to Sherlock and John's videos, when he got fixated on the happenings going on through the camera to her house. Three cars sat outside Molly's house, all very expensive with blacked out windows.

A smartly dressed woman carrying a dress bag, shoe box and a planner exited the third car. She walked up the path to Molly's house followed in suit by two men who looked like security guards in posh suits and another woman carrying a very large make up bag. Both women proceeded to open the door to Molly's house, while the men stood on guard outside.

About 5 minutes later tea in hand Mycroft watched a deep blue jaguar pull up outside the house.

"Weird" he said.

"Sir what is?" He looked up to see Anthea sitting on the other side of the desk. "Oh... Just this footage."

"Oh, ok" she replied cheerily.

His eyes diverted back to the computer screen where one Molly Hooper was being helped out of the Jaguar by another man in a suit, who then continued to bow as she exited the car. She started to walk down the path to the house passing everyone casually.

"Even stranger" he began to say.

Mycroft Holmes was never one to show facial expressions but at that time he did. Picking up his phone he started to text his brother.

What is Molly Hooper doing tonight? - MH

She was just going home as she was tired, ask John he was there as well. Why? - SH

Just saw something strange on the CCTV outside her house that's all, probably nothing to worry about, will try John though. - MH

You're spying on Molly?! - SH

... - MH

Selecting another contact on his phone he started to text John Watson.

What is Molly Hooper doing tonight? - MH

Not sure, why? - JW

There's a car outside 221B Baker St. Can you and my brother please get inside it. - MH

Ok, although I'm not sure how willing Sherlock will be. - JW

Trust me he's going to want to see this. New case, shall we say. MH

On our way now. - JW

"What do you want Mycroft?"

"Ah, dear brother. Dr Watson."

"Anyway, I thought you might want to see this."

"What is it?" Asked John.

"Footage from outside one Molly Hooper's house, 1 hour ago. And why would we want to see that?", Sherlock snorted.

"Trust me you'll want to see this."

All three of them watched the video and by the end all looked puzzled, even Sherlock. The footage was then fast forwarded to that moment in time.

Molly was then shown walking down the drive in extremely beautiful clothing followed by the woman carrying the planner and surrounded by the security guards. The woman then opened the door for Molly and one of the men helped her get in the middle car, the woman then proceeded to run round to the passenger seat on the other side of the car and get in. All the security guards then split up into the two cars in front and behind the middle car. Then all the cars drove off.

"Ok then..." muttered John.

"Indeed." Mycroft replied.

"So that's your new case find out what Dr Hooper was doing tonight. And trust me I would be very fascinated to know."

"Ok case accepted!" replied Sherlock.

So that was chapter 1, what is molly hiding? And why does it ruffle Mycroft's feathers so much?
