Making memories (sequel to things about Sherlock )

We'll take the case...

Shelocks P.O.V

In one week, one bloody week, three more couples had gone missing. Some singer , a politician , a tv presenter and all their partners kidnapped. 

A couple unknown couples dead . 

I looked over to John , asleep in his chair next to Hamish . The room was dim now , and rain was pattering softly on the window. I took another look . 

On top of trying to crack this case, and where they were taking these people , over the past week the people hovering around our flat had grown. There was always at least one person, and they swapped shifts every other hour or so. They were very well concealed , cleverly placed and arrived with good timing. It was this that made me consider it was Mycroft , always watching from a distance. 

It could be him...but-

My thoughts were interuppted when John yawned and shifted in his seat. I twisted my head over my shoulder to see him watching me , a puzzled expression crossing his face. He stood up, and walked over to me , seating himself down by the window next to me. 

First he turned his attention to the window, lifting a hand to it . He dragged his finger across it , making a line in the condensation . He began to draw a stick man, with curly hair by the looks of it , and next to this stick man, he drew another bigger, shorter stickman. He made them hold hands and put them in a love heart . He then drew a little baby with them . 

I smiled at this drawing and he smiled back . He scrawled By John next to it. 

" It's a shame we can't frame such a masterpeice , John. " I muttered. He pulled me into a big crushing hug. 

" You're sad Sherlock , and there's no one I wouldn't get rid of , or anything I wouldn't do to help you. Apart from you, you're the one stopping me, you won't let me help you , and I don't know why..." 

I sighed, and pushed John back to look at his face . 

" John, I'm fine . I promise." I kissed his head and he sighed, wandering laguidly to the kitchen. 

" You're eating today!"

I ignored him and returned to thinking about where the kidnapped few could be , 8 people in total. taken couple by couple...in a large van. They had only used one , and from the looks of the tyre marks it was in bad condition. 

Not rented. 

So they didn't have much money to fix the van, obviously renting one would be too easy to trace.

They were popular , well known people , with a reputation. Clearly the gang were targeting well known gay people, it was those whose absence would be noticable by the majority of the population. They were recognisable, they really really wouldn't want their face to be shown. 

So, would they just drive them directly into a building? 

I thought back, and remembered some stains in the tyre tracks...it was oil. But the van wasn't leaking. 

So they were most likely being kept in a place they could drive into...with oil aroud, leakages...a garage or a warehouse. 

Away from people...with a garage that would be more diffiuclt, but easier with a warehouse, and with the gang not having much money the prospect of a warehouse was looking more likely...

It was set up , all we needed him to do was take the case...which was likely. We had created a "suspicious death" . We made it look interesting. And they would have to travel for it.
