Careful What You Ask For

Sherlock is bored by the procession of uninteresting people invading 221B to put their ridiculous problems in front of him and when he turns to the internet all he gets is more of the time. Missing rabbits, honestly.

"We were wondering if you could help us find the Antichrist," says a suited man (bookshop owner, a fan of bibles), his leg pressed against his partner's for support.

Sherlock scrawls Mycroft's number on the back of the man's hand with a spare biro and stalks out, ignoring the admiring glance the other man (likes fast cars and, apparently, rudeness) shoots him over the top of his sunglasses.

"I'm surprised you didn't say Moriarty," John mutters later as he puts the kettle on.

"He's mine," says Sherlock. Besides, John doesn't know Mycroft as well as Sherlock does.
