It was two days later when
Sherlock was starting to get back to his normal self. His deducting skills where primed and at the ready, John seemed less agitated and even the sneezing was down to an all time low. The London weather was even beginning to perk up, a shower only greeting the city every four hours or so, instead of it's normal onslaught of permanent drizzle.

"Sherlock, what's that smell?" The blogger asked, walking into the living room.

"Hmm, gas leak."

"GAS LEAK? Is the oven still on?"

"No I turned it *cough* of half an hour ago when I smelt it."

"Half an hour?! we need to get out, come on" John replied already pulling the detective of the sofa and through the door.

"I can call Mycroft" Sherlock suggested.

"Why. I thought you hated him."

"I do. It would mean that he can get someone over quickly to sort it all out."

"Nah, don't worry about it. We can go to Molly's and wait for a bit. Like normal people." John replied, avoiding the conflict between the siblings was his main aim.

So with that the Sherlock hailed a cab, they seemed to come out if thin air for him. The cab journey was uneventful, and even the cba driver refused to make conversation, much like Sherlock, both refusing to reply when John made a point about the weather.

"Ah Molly. Nice to see you."

Sherlock muttered barging past Molly and into her house.

"Sorry, could we stay round your for a bit. 221 has a gas leak."

"Oh yeah umm sure of course. I .. um I have work at three though.." Molly replied looking at her watch, 9:30 "but that's ages away."

"Thanks, we won't be a pain, but sherlocks still a bit..." John gestured to sherlock who was playing with the long curtains.

"I mean he's not as bad as he was before."

"It's fine... john. really I don't mind. I have known him for ages."

"Thanks again then."

The day was going well, subsiding the gas. John had called the gas company, resulting in sherlock having to call again twenty minuets later because John lost his temper when the woman said it would cost over £500 for them to come out and fix everything.

During the wait for the all clear to go back to the flat, sherlock discovered Molly's mass amount of board games, consisting of

Risk

Monopoly

Doctor who risk

Cludo

Rumicub

And many many more. this discovery resulted in Sherlock defeating john multiple times, only loosing at one game of risk. When John was not winning, he was swearing and throwing all the insults he had at sherlock. Molly refused to play, possibly due to some past experiences with Sherlock and cludo.

Then the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Hello, we need to inform you that we can not clear your flat of gas until tomorrow evening." A Middle Aged woman declared grumpily.
