Touch Him = Death

Ch.19

"Ello? Addy what is it?"

"Hi Mycroft, so we have a situation... code blue, not sure if it is a direct threat, also not sure if it is taken care of yet. I have Sherlock and John with me now and we are all safe."

"Okay I am on my way with police now we should be there in 2 hours. I need you to go into complete lock down, I don't want anything to happen until I get there." I could hear muffled voices in the background and Mycroft shouting at someone to haul ass. I heard a chopper and Mycroft shouted into the phone "Stay safe, stay inside." then he hung up. 

I ran to my room went into my closet and found the little door I had been searching for. I opened it and looked around through all the wires for a big red button, when I found what I was looking for I pushed it and the whole house went dark. Metal covers slammed down on ever window and doors cutting out any light from outside. I quickly changed into some flexible pants, running shoes, and a t-shirt. I grabbed my gun holster and my gun. I pulled my hair back into a high pony tail, then Went to bathroom. I splashed some cool water on my face and looked in the mirror. 

Ugh. One black eye, a broken nose, it was not pretty. My hair also looked like a mess so I took it down and brushed it, then put it back up into a much cleaner and stronger looking pony tail. I walked into the living room and saw Sherlock and John up against the wall opposite from the couch. 

I gave them a weird look, ten turned my attention to the girl. She was staring right back at me sitting straight up on the couch. Now that I saw her clearly, she was worse than I was, and in dire need of a bath. I took a step towards her, but heard Sherlock whisper behind me "don't".  I ignored his comment and continued towards the girl. Silent tears were rolling down her big cheeks. I crouched down in front of her. 

"Hello, my name is Addy. What is your name?" I asked gently. 

"I don't know." she said in a raspy voice. I gave her a weird look. 

"Do you remember me?" I asked and she nodded her head gently.

"You saved me." I nodded and smiled. Then she jumped on top of me and squeezed my neck. "thank you."

I held her close to me trying not to cry. I stood up and picked her up with me. "I have more questions, but first lets get you cleaned up and give you something to eat." She nodded her head silently. I started to walk past John and Sherlock and she started freaking out squirming in my arms and kicking. I moved away from them quickly and sat her down grabbing her arms and speaking soothing words. She was crying hard my not screaming.  

"What is it whats the matter?" i asked confused.

"Those people, are they like Mister?" she asking in a timid voice. 

"Who? Who is Mister? I don't know who that is." 

"Mister! The bad man he touches me and the other girls, he was running with me and dropped me when I saw you!" she wailed trying to get away again. I had tears well up in my eyes. I hugged her close until she calmed down. 

"No, they are not, they are my very best friends. I promise they will not hurt you, I promise no one will ever hurt you again." I said staring her directly  in the eyes. 

"Okay, What are there names?"

"That one right there that's John he is a really nice guy and he is a doctor-"

"What is a doctor?" 

"A doctor is a person that helps fix you when you are hurt."

"Could you fix this?" she asked holding up her arm pointing at a little scrape. John walked over to her slowly and bended down next to me. He held out is hands and she cautiously placed her little arm in his hand. He eyed it dramatically. I looked up from his observation and smiled into her worried face. 

"An easy fix." He said with a wink. She giggled and pulled her arm back. 

"Who's he?" She asked pointing at Sherlock. 

"Oh that goofy looking guy? His name is Sherlock." I said smiling at him. He walked up next to me and held out his hand. 

"Uh hello there." He said with and awkward grin. 

"She stared up at him in awe. "You're as tall as a tree!" She said making us a laugh.

"Alright," I said,swooping her up into my arms again "I think you could use a bath."

"Whats a bath?"

"Oh well it is a way you get clean, it will feel nice I promise."

************************************************************************************************************

After The bath i brushed and braided her hair and stuck her in one of my shirts which was a lot like a night gown on her. We fend her some chicken broth and two crackers, considering she was so skinny John said it would not be good to feed her so much at once. Now that she was clean I could get a good look at her. She was a pretty little girl, with surprisingly blonde hair and bright green eyes. She looked maybe 6 or 7, but was considerably short. It was obvious she hadn't been around to many people, because there were some words she didn't understand or things she didn't know about such as the lights, which she thought were tiny suns. 

We talked for a little before she got tired again and fell asleep in my lap. I held her there close to me. I still hadn't asked her any questions about 'Mister' or why he was carrying her even though i had pretty much put the pieces together. My only problem was that she had mentioned other little girls and I wanted, needed to go find them. 

"There are probably no other men out there, so the other girls are probably safe, also I don't think this has anything to do with us, we just happened to run into some creepy pedophile in the forest, but I know I can find those girls, don't worry Adeline they will be okay." Sherlock said trying to soothe me, which he did. I figured he was right, I mean this was his area of expertise so i decided to trust him and just focus on this little girl now.
