Dead Man Walking

Sherlock Bait

"Where are you taking me?" I ask "I'm sure you know by now John it's nothing new." Now I knew where we were going, The Tower of London. "Any big crimes come up yet?" It seemed like a stupid question to ask him, we're in London for god sakes there's tons of crimes. "I suppose you mean important crimes then yes, we had a gun in a suitcase at Heathrow airport, he was arrested and given 5 years in jail. Attempted assassination on the Prime Minister while talking about anti-terrorism, I'm sure you heard about how the bullet missed" I nodded. "Good, I didn't want to say but the miss was on purpose. Who knows why anyone would do that. Ah here we are, welcome back to The Tower, John". Now there are skyscrapers, there's monuments, then there's The Tower of London. "Why am I back here, Mycroft?" "To talk about Sherlock of course". The mention of his name makes me depressed. Why had he jumped, these are questions I still don't understand. "John, we are going to need your help, this is a huge project, meet Mary". A tall, blonde girl walked into the room who I guessed was Mary. "Hello, um, John isn't it?" I nodded my head. "Mary, right?" "Enough chat" Mycroft interrupted. "We need to get to business. We're hoping you two being together attracts the attention of Sherlock. Hopefully he will come check you two out, then we will capture him and question him on how he faked his suicide" "You sound so sure that he's still out there" I say, blushing, secretly hoping he's alive to tell him how I feel about him. "John, I don't think he's out there, I know he's out there".
