Miss Me? (Sequel to Vampire On Baker Street)

Ch.5: My fault

Chapter 5:

"Is there a reason you called me away from work?" John questions as he walks into Mycroft's office. He still works at the doctor's office when he has the time since solving cases isn't always a reliable source of income.

The older man sits at his desk with his hands clasped together. "It's about Sherlock."

John lets out a sigh as he falls into the seat in front of Mycroft. "When is it not?"

"I am worried about his recent behavior."

John frowns,"What do you mean? He has been a near saint compared to the last few years. He hasn't done anything illegal or drug related, nor has he gotten into a row with Sara."

Mycroft nods,"Exactly. He seems better, but I have noticed some concerning things and I want you to be aware of them."

John looks a bit unnerved,"...Alright then. What concerns you?"

Mycroft clears his throat and looks down at his desk,"Sherlock shares many similarities with our older brother. More than we had originally thought."

Doctor Watson nods slowly,"Okay. How so?"

"For one, they both are infatuated with our little friend, Sara. As we have seen, Tom is obsessed with her. He is willing to kill anyone and anything in his way to have her... and I fear Sherlock may be on that same track."

"You're joking, right?" John shakes his head,"This is Sherlock we are talking about-"

"Yes, and he has an addictive personality. His new drug is Sara, and I fear what he might do if someone gets in his way of her." Mycroft stares intently at the doctor,"This is a serious matter. I do hope that you will keep an eye on him."

John doesn't look entirely happy with Mycroft's allegations but nods anyhow. "That's part of my job." He taps his fingers restlessly on arms of his chair. "...Has Sherlock done anything to make you suspicious?"

Mycroft leans back in his chair with a sigh,"Nothing of great importance. Small things. A rise in jealously towards men around Sara, keeping a rather close proximity to her-"

"We were just on a mission in the states," John interrupts,"He was well away from her."

"He did not leave without a fight though," Mycroft tells him. "I had to all but force him to take the case, and I assume I am on his hit list currently." He lets out an exhausted sigh,"Just watch for anything odd. I would rather not have to lock up two of my brothers."

John studies him and realizes Mycroft is genuinely worried for his younger brother. This is more serious than he is letting on.

John nods,"Of course."

John phone then starts to ring. He apologizes quickly to Mycroft be answering. "Hello?"

'...John,' Sara sniffs from her end,'...H-He took her.'

John's blood runs cold. He takes a deep breath to calm himself,"W-what do you mean? Where is Rosie?"

'Tom has her.'

Mycroft stands slowly, already having deduced the situation. "John, It's going to be alright," he tells the doctor softly in order to try and calm him down. "We will get her back-"

John is already out the door, storming off to find the two vampires.

Mycroft shakes his head and sits back down at his desk. He dials a number into phone and barks at his security team,"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! HOW DID HE GET PAST YOUR RADAR?!"
