A Dangerous Game (Sherlock fanfic)

The Blind Banker (Pt.1)

Lizzie P.O.V
A few days after the cabbie, I had everything packed. I was bringing my mattress, bedding, clothes, some towels and flatware. It was a couple boxes but filled the small truck tightly. Phil still hated the idea and made sure to adamantly state it. I just let him rant as he drove. We got to baker street in 45 minutes due to traffic.

As we pulled up, John was waiting for us. I gave him a wave once we parked. I was grateful for his help since Sherlock wouldn't do anything.

"Is it a lot?" John asked as we hugged

"Nothing that the three of us can't manage. Thankfully its only the ground floor. Sherlock still in his room?" I asked as Phil opened the back

"Yeah, he's running an experiment. He'll be upstairs for the time being. Lets not dally." John replied as we began lifting the mattress.
Between the three of us, we finished unloading in 30 minutes.

"You know I'm a phone call away. If you ever change your mind, I'll be here to help move you out again." Phil reminded me as we hugged

"Nice to know but I think I'll be fine. Don't worry about me so much. We'll still be working together." I assured him as I felt him tense up

"Oh, the amount of love is sickening. You both act like shes going off to war." Sherlock teased to rile up my brother

"Given your last case, how could I not expect the worst. If she gets hurt, I will come after you Holmes." Phil promised

"Oh Anderson, the intent is charming. Though I think she'll be saving us. Just like shes been doing your entire life." Sherlock cockily replied

"Phil, not another word. I'll be fine. I'll duck when the bullets come. Don't worry, I always wrestle my way out." I assured him as we hugged again

"I know but I can't help it. Stay safe, love you psycho."Phil joked

"Haha, I will. Love you too moron. Keep two eyes open for my sake." I told him before he left

"Why do you put up with him? He's obviously the lesser mind." Sherlock asked me

"Because unlike you, I like my brother. I find it soothing to be around the 'boring' people." I replied before going inside.

I decided to go on a light jog during my day off. John went to grab groceries for us to avoid starvation. When I came back, John was asking for cash after having card problems. John asked about the diamond case which Sher lied about as he kicked the sword further back. With a card, John grabbed groceries while I freshened up. We got back to overdue bills and Sherlock using Johns computer. Suddenly Sherlock left for the bank, making us chase after him.

Sherlock introduced us to a banker friend of his who kept trying to flirt with me. Sherlock noticed the poor attempt & quickly resumed the case details. We were being hired to investigate a break in and graffiti. The case was a little tricky given the high security but I enjoyed the challenge. John quickly read my mind as he grabbed the check from Sebastian.

"Looks like you have an admirer." John teased as he showed me a number on the check. I laughed at the poor attempt while we joined Sherlock.

We took a cab to Van Coons apartment. It was a posh building which had a recent move in. Sherlock creepily acted sweet as he got a neighbour to buzz us in. John and I waited for Sherlock to let us in from the hallway.

"Do you think he lost a lot of money? Suicide is pretty common amongst city boys." I asked while Sherlock rummaged through cases. John tried to back me up but Sherlock quickly dismissed both of us
