Dead Man Walking

False Hope

Mycroft pulled out a map. "All these red dots are crime scenes where people think they have seen Sherlock" he says "But that's not possible, if you haven't noticed he's DEAD" I shouted "I'm very aware of that but I'm just trying to say, John, that he may have faked it". I was stunned. Was he giving me false hope or was this real? "If this is real, then why is he in upper-Europe? Norway? Why isn't he in London if he wants to be noticed?" "I never said he wanted to be noticed I said he was spotted. John, you need to work with me here, you see the headlines 'suicide of a fake genius?' Well scramble those words, what do you get?" I thought, then it came to my head, a brilliant thought that may just be true, "Fake suicide of genius!" I shouted enthusiastically. "Very good John, but I have a feeling that he will come back to London, when he was 14 he ran away for 2 years. It's been 1 and a half years, I think he will come back at 2 years, but it's just an estimate". I was stunned, this couldn't be happening, "His last sighting was in a town in Switzerland called Pandora." He seemed to be looking at me like I should know. Then it hit me, "Like pandoras jar, if you open it, you give up hope". I felt very intelligent but compared to him, it was nothing "John, don't open the jar, don't give up hope, I have a feeling he's still around".
