Sherlock Holmes In Love (Completed)

6.Sherlock Holmes

A set of chemistry stuffs on his desk. Complete with beaker, scale and chemistry materials.

Volumes of unsolved crimes journals filled his bookshelves. Irene takes one of them and opens it. Many scribbles like handwritings on the pages. She tries to read them. It looks like Holmes has made some conclusions regarding the cases.

Two cabinets filled with old cases from Holmes investigation.

The room is quite neat for a bachelor room. She doesn't know Holmes has been cleaning it after she left with Watson. Probably the first time he really invested his time in cleaning his room.

In John's room...

"What's the meaning of this?" asks John irritatedly.

Holmes asks, "Isn't it obvious? I'm moving into your room. You could sleep on the couch. I'll use your bed."

John stares to the third occupant in his room. A human skeleton is standing near his window. Next to his couch. It looks real. It must be real. Holmes never likes "fake" items.

Holmes shrugs his shoulders.

He says, "They gave me Kirby as a sign of thanks for my previous tests. I couldn't keep him in my room. It would scare Irene to death."

John opens a box of items that Holmes has placed on the floor. Old DVD collections of blue films. And some playboy magazines.

He takes one of them and mocks, "So, you are normal after all."

Irene suddenly opens the door to John's room. She stares to the magazine in his hands.

Holmes quickly rises from the bed.

He says, "Let's talk outside. John is busy with his girls."

Now he is implying it's John's magazine. John chuckles and throws the magazine back into the box.

That sly guy!

In the sitting room, John, Irene and Holmes are sitting on a couch.

Irene asks, "Any progress?"

"I'm still working on it," replies him.

She looks disappointed. Holmes goes into John's room to get his laptop. He turns it on and then accesses something.

It shows series of videos from CCTV all across London.

Holmes explains, "Suspect #1 Diana Rhode. She's your rival in theater. Apparently she was walking home during the time of attack."

Irene protests, "He's a man. Too hairy to be a woman..."

"Suspect #2 Arthur Doyle. The lead actor in the theater. You two have hot arguments recently."

Irene protests, "The jerk tried to flirt me as usual. I said no."

Holmes suddenly looks a bit tense. His eyes are filled with wrath. Even John could sense it.

He says coolly, "He did that. Well, I'll make sure he won't do it again."

Holmes shows few CCTV regarding other potential suspects. All of them are in different parts of London, far from Irene's home.

Finally he turns off his laptop.

He asks, "Anyone you needs to add, Irene? Someone from your past? Someone with a grudge for you? Ex-boyfriend?"

Eric's brother, the new Alpha. He's the only one crossed her mind right now. But if she told Holmes about him. He would learn about the werewolves and her pack. A human shouldn't know.

Irene lies, "No one crossed my mind. Sorry, Mr. Holmes."

"Sherlock. Just call my name."

John stares him.

It's the first time he ever let his client calls him on his first name basis. Most of the times, he insisted they call him Mr. Holmes.

Even for the woman in their last case, a sexy widow. Holmes kept distances from her when she's trying hard to flirt him.

John rises from the couch when Holmes nudges him to get more space. He moves to sit on a chair in front of her.

Holmes warns, "For the time being, you shouldn't go anywhere alone, Irene."

She looks angry and shocked. She complaints, "I have work to do. I couldn't hide under my bed all the day."

Holmes holds her trembling hands. He says, "No worries. I'll guard you with my life."

Irene pulls her hands away immediately. His touch sent electricity, turning her on. She mustn't let him touch her again. This damn mate thing. Her wolf could barely controlled not to jump to him. Wanting so bad to mate with him.

She says, "I rather go with John."

"Me?" asks John.

Holmes looks pissed off, ready to bite his head off any moment now.

John smiles widely and says, "Sure. I'd love too."

Not everyday he could win against the great Sherlock Holmes. John couldn't stop smiling. Think of it as a payback for all those worst days in his life. When he had to clean Sherlock's room from toxic wastes. The guy did chemical experiments too often.

Holmes grabs his laptop and leaves without saying anything else. Irene sighs. This weird attraction between them must died. She isn't ready to mate again.

*****

Streaming internet using WiFi in a nearby Cafe. Reading latest gossips about Irene Adler. Not too many gossips. She has stopped acting for few years. Her recent comeback has been greatly welcomed by her fans.

Dated few months ago, Irene has been seen with a special someone. Not ordinary man. He has this powerful aura that separate him from ordinary guys.

The rumor monger makes few analysis about him because she doesn't know who he is. From rich businessman to a sheikh from Arabian country.

Holmes never forgets a face. He has excellent memories to remember faces and names.

This guy is one of the royalties. The Grand Duke himself, King of Bohemian.

"Irene, what mess have you got into? Why you wouldn't tell me anything?" whispers him.

It isn't like him to worry for a woman. He knows he should drop this case. His mind isn't working as usual. His logic failed to work whenever he's in the same room with her.

Something about her makes his heart goes wild.

Irene Adler.

She has managed to do something that no one has ever done before. She has made Holmes lost his logical abilities. The only thing that Holmes acknowledged as his most prized possession. His mind.

"I should stay away from you," warns Holmes to himself.

Like a moth drawn to fire. Knowing it would be the end of him. Just couldn't stop. Flying toward her.

Holmes decides to send an email to Bohemian embassy. He has decided to accept the case of their missing jewel. Apparently one of their heritage jewel has gone missing.

He must talk to the Bohemian King, learning more about him. After all, he's one of Irene's ex- lovers.

Holmes sips his latte.

Thinking about her ex- lover makes him wanna to shoot the wall. Too bad he no longer has his gun.

John's fault.

Now he's having fun time with Irene.

No fair!
