A few days later.

Mycroft was on his way home from the airport after the business trip. He was feeling uncomfortable because of a headache. He came home and walked inside.

"Hi, Mycroft" Sherlock and John said in unison.

He looked at them and asked "Why are you here?"

"Why do you always ask me that question? Celina invited us come here to have dinner and we don't refuse any free meals" Sherlock said. Mycroft frowned at him.

"Oh, you're home early" Celina said when she saw Mycroft.

"Yes, the meeting ended soon" Mycroft said.

"Great. I have prepared dinner. Let's eat it together" she said with a smile.

"Oh sorry but I'm having a headache, I don't want to eat. Everyone goes on eating"

"Just a little bit, I believe you will feel better after you have dinner" Celina pleaded with Mycroft.

"No, I'll eat later" Mycroft began to feel uncomfortable.

"Please, Mycroft"

"I said I don't eat. You don't understand?" Mycroft was angry and shouted at Celina. She scared and let go of his hand.

Sherlock got up and went to them. "What the hell are you doing? She just wants you to eat something, why are you yelling at her?" Sherlock was angry, looked at Mycroft and asked.

He looked at Sherlock and asked "I yelled at her, so what? What can you do to me?". Sherlock got angry and grabbed Mycroft's collar, Mycroft also grabbed Sherlock's collar. 

"God, Sherlock" John rushed to stop Sherlock, he pulled Sherlock out.

"Calm down Sherlock, you know the reason why we are here, right?" John said. Sherlock turned to glance at Mycroft then went to Celina and said "Let's go eat". She nodded. They went to the dining room together and Mycroft went upstairs. Sherlock turned and looked at him. He remembered what happened a few days ago.

------------

Few days ago.

Sherlock's phone rang. He caught the phone "Hello"

"Hi, I'm Celina" she said.

"Oh, hello Celina. How can I help you?"

"Mycroft had come to see you, right?"

"Yes but he just left"

"I know but he's still standing downstairs" she said while watching Mycroft.

Sherlock frowned and came out of the door to watch. And as Celina said, Mycroft was still standing downstairs. He hung up the phone and went to ask Mycroft "Why are you standing here?". Mycroft was startled when he heard Sherlock's voice.

"Ah-uhm, I'm waiting for the driver to pick me up"

Sherlock frowned and said "But he's parked in front of you"

Mycroft turned to look and saw the car parked right in front. "Oh, I'm thinking about something so I don't pay attention"

"Are you OK?"

"Of course" 

Sherlock frowned at him. Mycroft pretended to ignore.

"Goodbye again" Mycroft said and quickly got into the car to leave.

Celina went to meet Sherlock. Sherlock turned to look at her and asked "How long has it been?"

"From the moment I came to live with him, I had seen some unusual things" Celina said.
