My Clever Girl

The Blind Banker (Part 1)

We were fighting an intruder who came to the apartment and dodging his attacks. I took a break and watched from the doorway as Sherlock dodged a sword being swung at him. The intruder spun as Sherlock ducked then fell back against the couch. "You doing 'ight?" I giggled softly, leaning against the doorway. "I could use some help, Giggle Box." He said as he blocked the intruder from getting to him. He kicked him away, causing the intruder to stumble back. He stood up and fixed his suit then went after the intruder. The intruder then pinned him to the table with his sword at Sherlock's throat while Sherlock tried kicking him away. 

I stepped in and pulled him away from Sherlock with his help as the intruder made a cut in the table. I was dodging the sword with Sherlock when I pointed. "LOOK!" I shouted as the intruder look while Sherlock punched him when he was distracted. He fell back into Sherlock's chair as Sherlock let out soft pants from the fight and looked at me. He fixed his shirt and walked to the kitchen with me following. "I wonder how John's doing." I said as he started making tea as to us we had no idea that John was struggling to get groceries. We took care the intruder and went on with our day. 

I sat on the couch and wrote in my jornal as Sherlock sat in his chair with his legs crossed as he went back to reading his book. We heard footsteps walk up the stairs and looked to see John walk in. "You took your time." Sherlock said as he didn't look up from his book. "Yeah, I didn't get the shopping." John said as he looked around to see nothing out of place. "What? Why not?" I asked and looked at him as Sherlock look at him as well. "Because I had a row in the shop with a chip and PIN machine." John said as I giggled softly and went back to writing. "You...you had a row with a machine." Sherlock asked as I had a wide smile. 

"Sort of. It sat there and I shouted abuse. Have you got cash?" John asked as I giggled more. Sherlock had an amused smile and gestured to the table. "Take my card." He said as I started drawing him on a different page in my jornal. John started walking to the kitchen but stopped. "You could always go yourself, you know, you guys have been sitting there all morning and not even moved since I left." John said as Sherlock and I shared a glance with a shared smile as we thought about the attack from the intruder. "And what happened about that case you were offered, the Jaria diamond?" John asked as he got into Sherlock's walet and grabbed the card. 

"Not interested." Sherlock said as he closed his book and uncrossed his legs, kicking the sword further under his chair as I smiled and went back to drawing. "I sent them a message." He said and looked at me as I smile. I looked at my sketch of Sherlock and started working on the details. John went back downstairs to get as me and Sherlock started to laugh softly. "How's that drawing coming along?" He asked and stood up, walking over to the desk where John's laptop laid and got onto it. "It's coming along well. Also, John's not gonna be too happy to see you on his laptop." I said and smiled as I looked at my drawing.

"Don't worry about me, I can manage." John said walked up the stairs. I got up and helped him with groceries while Sherlock stayed at the desk with his hands folded while looking at us then back at the computer as we set the groceries in the kitchen. I looked at Sherlock and started to put the food away. "Is that my computer?" John asked as I watched him walk over to the desk. "Of course." Sherlock said and started typing. "What?" John asked as I put the bags up and made a cuppa. "Mine was in the bedroom." Sherlock said as I shook my head with a smile while trying to hold in a soft laugh.
