Previous 221b: Tea and Conversations


Today's prompt: worried

________________________________________________

Absent


John. Absent for 48 minutes and 7 seconds.

No need to worry. Yet. Probably went shopping and out for a drink.


John. Absent for 1 hour 45 minutes. And 12 seconds.

Time to text Lestrade. No luck.


John. Absent for 2 hours 1 minute. And 3 seconds.

Time to call Mycroft.

“Do you have him? Give him back.”

“Sherlock. I presume we are talking about John? I don’t have him. How long has he been gone?”

“Two hours.”

“Two? He probably needed some time alone. Call me when he is still missing after four hours.”

“Why would he need time alone? Mycroft?”

Hung up. He throws his phone on the table. Starts pacing again.


John. Absent for 2 hours 9 minutes. And 34 seconds.

Steps on the stair. John. Not absent anymore.

“Where have you been?”

“I took Mrs Hudson to the hospital for her follow-up. I told you.”

“I texted you. I even called.”

“I turned my mobile off. I forgot to switch it back on. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“I wasn’t scared. I was just... concerned. About the work. You are important for my work. I couldn’t even concentrate on my experiment. It’s ruined now. Why are you smiling?”

“It’s nothing. I’m really sorry. I brought you something though.”

“What?”

“Molly sends it. Acetogenic bacteria.”





Next 221b: The Aim Of The Exercise

AN:
Today's prompt was 'worried'.

Am desperately trying to finish the next chapter of 'Sunday Senses' so that I can post it before this month is over. *argh*
