Chapter 10: Greg and Kitty

When I told Sherlock that we were working with Sam and Dean, he made it clear to all of us that he disagreed. I came in after the hunt last night and suggested the idea to him. He told me I was insane for believing their stories and that they had probably drugged me out there to make me see what they wanted me to. I didn’t say it out loud but I was pretty sure that was impossible.

Then, since it was nearly midnight, I decided to stay the night. Besides, I really didn’t want to be going home to Mary right now. At least I wouldn’t be waking her up since it was so hard for her to get any sleep at all what with her pregnancy and all, not to mention that 221B was my home for a couple of years. But Of course I forgot to tell Sherlock that Sam and Dean were coming at 9am and then I slept through my alarm so I was awoken by the sound of shouting. Sherlock and Dean were in a heated argument about the reality of demons and Sam was trying to break up the fight.

After hell of a lot of complaining I convinced Sherlock to let Sam and Dean come along for a couple of the interrogations. First we were going to see Kitty Riley who was sided with Moriarty when he was pretending to be Richard Brook. Sherlock figured that she might know a few things about him since they lived together while he was in hiding. Then we were going to find Lestrade to ask about Moriarty’s body, since both Mycroft and I were told by him that Moriarty was dead. Then finally we would get to Molly, who would have the information on Moriarty’s body when they examined it after he died.

“Do you guys have a car?” I asked.

“We do. In America. Someone’s probably towed it by now, my poor baby,” Dean muttered.

“Alright, then we’ll have to take a cab,” I said, pulling out my wallet and checking how much cash I had.

“Here,” Sam said, handing me 10 Quid.

“Oh, it’s alright,” I smiled.

“No really. You paid for us all last night and we didn’t even thank you. Take it,” Sam said. So I took it and thanked him.

When we all got outside it wasn’t hard to find a cab, but with Dean in the front seat and Sam, Sherlock and I crammed in the back, it was a claustrophobic ride. Even more so since I was in the middle. Sherlock refused to sit next to either of the Winchesters. He also refused to go in the front saying that it would be easier for them to pull a gun on him even though I checked and neither of them had any weapons.

We arrived at Kitty Riley’s in less than 5 minutes. She wasn’t very welcoming, but because we were investigating for the Government, she had to let us in.

“Make it quick,” she said, inviting us inside.

“Just remember that if you withhold any information then we can have you arrested,” Dean smiled as he walked in.

I walked into the room that brought back so many memories. This is the first place Sherlock and I had come after we escaped the police when Sherlock was thought to be a fraud. We came for the same reason we are now, to find information about Moriarty.
