Surprising Sherlock

Chapter Seven

John had gone back to the apartment, after he gave up looking for Sherlock. He had searched around Scotland Yard for sometime trying to find him but instead bumped into Greg Lestrade.

"Oh hello John, wait where is Sherlock?" Lestrade asked suddenly seeming nervous about his surroundings. 

"Um actually I don't know, I was looking for him."

"As in you lost him in here or as in he is roaming the streets of London and you just happened to stop and look here?" 

John chuckled "Dont worry, he isn't out terrorizing civilians."

"Nope just my friends" Lestreade laughed. 

"Why are you guys here anyway, I would think Sherlock was still pretty hungover from last night?" 

"Actually he wanted to talk to Jake and-" 

Lestrade cut John off with disbelief stuck across his face "Dont tell me he is planning to apologize, I'm gonna have to film this". 

John laughed again "No, he wanted to know what Jake did to anger him." 

"He was smashed isn't that reason enough?" 

"Apparently not for Sherlock."

"Well come on I will help you find him". 

John and Lestrade looked for Sherlock until someone told them they had seen him leave rather angry. 

"Great so a pissed off, hungover Sherlock is walking around by himself." Lestrade sighed "I thought you said he wasn't terrorizing the civilians." 

"Oh come on Greg, Sherlock is an adult, well technically he is an adult. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like he is a giant golden dragon" John tried. 

"No" Lestrade said "He's worse".

Lestrade decided to send Jake and John out to look for Sherlock, that way if they found Sherlock and he found out why he was upset and get upset all over again, the detective inspector didn't have to fill out any paperwork, as he would if Sherlock decked Jake at the yard. 

It was rather awkward between John and Jake for the first few minutes, due to there last conversation. John was the first to brake the silence "I'm sorry I flipped out on you earlier, you have every right to hate Sherlock, most people do anyway." 

"Im sorry I said thatI hated him in front of his best friend, clearly not the better attack strategy." Jake said with a grin.

A little while later Jake said "Ya know I still have Sherlock's present you left with me" 

"Oh ya I forgot about the rubix cube we picked out for him" John smiled. 

"You can keep it, I actually have another present lined up for him". 

"Oh really what is it"

"I'm not telling, I'm not even sure if its the right kind, I still have to check with his brother". 

"Right kind of what?" Jake tried to guess "Right kind of candybar? Kind of toppings on pizza? Microwave brands?" 

"Wow Jake you are a terrible guesser!" 

"Sorry I'm just hungry." 

"For candybars and microwaves?" John joked "Come on, there is a great place a block or so away, we can keep searching for Sherlock after we eat."

Jake and John had a great time eating together, they were laughing practically the whole time. When Jake finished his food he got up and went to the bathroom.
