Code Name : Chaos (A BBC Sherlock Fanfiction)

III : Correspondance

Dedicated to Uilosris . Thank you so much for all your help!!

Sherlock's POV
I woke up 2 hours before flight, to see Kara asleep and shivering. Taking off my coat I draped it around her shoulders. I watched her for a moment, before taking a book out and reading.

Kara's POV
I woke up to the familiar smell of tobacco ash and peppermint. I opened my eyes to see Sherlock's coat covering me. I looked up at him, but he ignored me, focusing on his book. "Thank you." I said. He said nothing but nodded slightly.

John's POV
Sara and I had collected our bags and were now waiting for Sherlock and Kara. We had become a lot closer during the flight. For instance, I found out that her brother, Sam had been kidnapped when she was 7. I only hoped that Sherlock and Kara had resolved their problems. Just then, I caught sight of two figures. Sherlock and Kara, Kara was wearing Sherlock's coat so that was a good sign...right? As they came closer I realised Kara had been crying and so had Sherlock? I chose not to say anything. Sara and I walked towards them. "Apparently Mycroft has been talking to a woman Renée Aldir, she agreed to house us while we are in Honduras." Said Sara. "Mycroft talking to women. What has the world come to ?" said Sherlock. I chuckled. We walked out of the airport and Kara discreetly handed Sherlock his coat, feeling the sweltering heat. As we walked out, we saw a woman whose face was covered by a hood holding a sign saying "Sherlock and co." Sherlock took one look at the woman and smirked. "An anagram." He said striding forward towards the woman as she smiled at him. "I should've guessed." He said kissing the back of her hand "It's nice to see you again Irene."  I gaped as the woman's hood fell down to reveal Irene Adler. Sara looked confused and so did Kara. But how did Mycroft know she was alive ?

Sara's POV
I narrowed my eyes at Kara. She was staring at Irene in jealousy but also worry. I narrowed my eyes at her. John was gaping like a goldfish so I nudged him gently to snap him out of his shocked daze. Irene looked at Kara and I, nodding at me and frowning at Kara. "You must be Miss Dives." She said to Kara "I've heard so much about you." She gave her an enigmatic smile as Kara clenched her hands into fists and then turned back to Sherlock who had turned bright red and was staring apologetically at John who was looking between him and Irene in outrage. "What so you won't tell your best friend but you will tell your on again off again girlfriend ?" He spat. Sherlock looked very affronted "She is most certainly not my girlfriend." Irene cleared her throat. "We should get going." She said pointedly and strode off towards the car.

Three hours later Irene pulled up in the middle of the forest. I scoffed, "Is this a joke ?" She turned and gave me a withering look. She jumped out of the car and started to comb through the trees, Sherlock close behind her. Five minutes later, even Sherlock started to get annoyed "Where are we Miss Adler ?" He asked brusquely. She shook her head, bemused. "Patience !" Was all she said. I groaned in exasperation, sweat was pouring down my face in rivulets. Suddenly, I felt something cold being placed in my hand - a bottle of water. I looked gratefully at John. A minute later Irene stopped and pulled back some leaves. "Welcome to The Manor " she said. Beyond, was a massive mansion painted white, with terracotta roofs surrounded with trees. I gaped in awe. Irene motioned for us to come inside, I traipsed behind her slowly in a stupor.
