Sherlock Point Of View
When I had tried to call my brother today he would not answer or he would but then put it down straight the way, something was off about my brother and I was determined to find out what. However for now, I was just sat in my flat waiting for a decent case to arise for me and John to get our hands into. I would have to admit that my time spent with John recently hasn't been that well spent, only because of the fact that I have been on cases by myself but also because John has been spending time with Mary.
Currently however I was sat in my flat looking around the room as I was bored, I didn't know what to do and what I could do. I looked around the room and my eyes instantly rested upon my sheet music and my violin, so I got up and looked upon the title of page in front of me. 'The Case With Love', I instantly knew that John had placed this here because he wanted me to feel again. I picked up my violin and bow and was about to start playing when John actually walked into the room, he looked a little confused about something.
"What are you confused about John?"
"Your brother sent me a message, he told me to arrive with you at a certain address tomorrow by a certain time. He didn't mention why we would have to be there, but I am assuming that it is important." John said rather quickly, so I just nodded my head and reached for my phone. I had had several messages from Greg for today about cases, but they were so simple to solve that I didn't even need to go and look at the crime scene. Surprisingly though, I didn't have a message from my dearest brother about this whole thing. He was happy to contact John about where he would want us to meet him tomorrow, but not me and that was a rather great concern for me to worry about.
"John can I borrow your phone for a moment?" I say as I reach out my hand for him to place the phone inside it, but he just stares at my hand before questioning me.
"Why would I give you my phone when your phone works perfectly fine Sherlock?"
"Because my brother isn't answering me, and it is getting rather strange for him to do so."
"I don't think it is that strange, after all you do ignore him for days at a time."
"Yes but why would he message you with a place and a time, but now me when I have been trying to get a hold of him all day." I kept my hand out waiting for John to place him phone in it, but he never did.
"Prove to me that your brother isn't answering to you." I sighed in announce and then unlocked my phone, I just didn't know why John was making me do this. Once my phone was unlocked I typed in my brothers personal number and called it straight the way, it rang for about five minutes before it stopped ringing. John then gave me his phone and I called Mycroft's number again, but when he answered it sounded like he was on a plane. So I put the phone on speaker so that John could hear also, after all we couldn't let Mycroft know I was the one calling.
"What is it John? I'm guessing that you have told Sherlock about the message I have sent you and he is now refusing to come because after all it was at my request. " I could hear the annoyance in my brothers voice as he talked down the phone to John, but all I could think about was why my brother wanted me to go to this address and meet him. I quietly and quickly move around my flat looking for a pen and some paper, it took me about a second to find it. Once the pen and paper was in my hand I quickly rushed back to John and scribbled down a note, I was telling him what to say to Mycroft.
"Yeah, you know what he is like. Sherlock won't do anything for you Mycroft that easily, you know what Sherlock is like he only does it to annoy you."
"Very true John, very true. Just drag him along if you have to, and if it doesn't work get Mrs Hudsen to nag to him every moment until he does, or even get Mary to come over and have a word with him. Just get him over there no matter what it is John, he needs to be there." My brother sounded desperate as he talked to John once again, but why did he need me to be at that address so much?
