"Coming!" I shouted as I ran to the front door. I opened the door to see John pulling Sherlock inside.

" Quick! The press are after Sherlock" John said. I quickly shut the door behind them

"Wow you boys are really famous ever since the Reichenbach case" I said holding up a magazine "Look I have a copy of the Daily star"

Sherlock snached the magazine and marched up to their apartment I quickly followed behind.

"Boffin." Sherlock said in an annoyed tone "Boffin Sherlock Holmes."

"Everybody gets one" I said stifling a laugh.

"One what?" Sherlock question looking at me

"Tabloid nickname: 'SuBo'; 'Nasty Nick.' " John said reassuringly "Raven has one, Restless Raven "

"That's just rude" I said disapprovingly

"Shouldn't worry – I'll probably get one soon." John said to Sherlock

"Page five, column six, first sentence." Sherlock said quickly. John takes the magazine from Sherlock and turned to the page

"Why is it always the hat photograph?" Sherlock said looking at me "What sort of hat is it anyway? "

"Bachelor John Watson" John said looking at the magazine "Bachelor? What the hell are they implying?"

"I think they mean you're not married John." I said smiling at him " and you know I like that hat"

"Is it a cap? Why has it got two fronts?" Sherlock question observing the hat. He flipped int in his hands.

"It's a deerstalker." John said looking up from the magazine "Frequently seen in the company of bachelor John Watson ..."

"You stalk a deer with a hat? What are you gonna do – throw it?" Sherlock question "Some sort of death frisbee, Raven?"

"... confirmed bachelor John Watson" I said to John. "Has a nice ring"

"Okay, this is too much. We need to be more careful." John sighed at Sherlock

"It's got flaps ... ear flaps. It's an ear hat, John." sherlock said throwing to to John.

"What do you mean, more careful?"

"He means this isn't a deerstalker now, it's a Sherlock Holmes hat. I mean that you're not exactly a private detective anymore." I confirmed.

"Raven is right, You're this far from famous." john said holding two fingers apart.
