Sherlock realised he only had 4 days left. 4 days left of being Sherlock Holmes.

He walked down the stairs and began the search for Mrs Hudson. He found her in the kitchen.

"Oh Sherlock. You don't look too good." She said as soon as she saw him.

"I'm fine."

"No. You're not. Let me make you some tea." She pointed to the table as she got out two cups.

Sherlock took a sip of his tea and pretended to listen to Mrs Hudson's story about cats or something. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her hand stopping her in her tracks.

"Is something the matter dear?"

"It's nothing. Just... Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being the best landlady in England. I meant what I said. If you left Baker Street, England would fall."

"Sherlock..." She whispered with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay." He stood up and took her hands to help her. He the proceeded to pull her into a hug which she happily agreed to.

After a long hug, Sherlock returned upstairs. He didn't want to see her cry.
