Code Name : Chaos (A BBC Sherlock Fanfiction)

XLVIII : Shock (Sara)

I sighed as I aimlessly flipped through the files. My head was in John's lap and he played with strands of my hair as he read. Kara and Sherlock were in a similar position except it was the other way round. Kara's hand was tangled in the detective's curls as they drew up a plan together. Sierra and Irene were at their house and Sam had gone to get more files. So far there'd been no information of any use at all and the mindless work was numbing my brain. I groaned loudly and buried my face into John's side. "If I have to do this for any longer I will pull a Sherlock and shoot the wall." John laughed and Sherlock glared at me playfully. I watched as he smiled up at Kara and was struck by how much he'd changed in the last year. He'd gone from rude, sociopathic and unlikeable to caring, kind and understanding. I looked up as three loud raps on the door were heard. Sherlock ran to the window before blanching and turning to Kara. "It's the parents." He hissed urgently, "And they still think you're dead !" She paled and turned to leave but she was to late. The door opened and Mycroft stepped in, followed by Violet and Siger Holmes. She ducked behind Sherlock who was rooted to the ground in fear. "Hello, brother mine." Said Mycroft with a distasteful smile. "Mummy and Daddy decided to visit!" His expression gave away everything about his disposition on the topic. "Hello, Mr and Mrs Holmes, nice to see you again ! This is Sara, my girlfriend !" Said John, stepping forwards to shame their hands. "Violet, please and it's a pleasure to meet you Sara." I smiled as she turned to Sherlock. "Oh Sherlock dear it's been so long, but who's that behind you ?" Siger asked. He turned ashen as Kara stepped out, a guilty smile on her face. "Surprise ?" Said Sherlock weakly and I shook my head slightly with a wince. "Vi-"
"You're a-alive ?" Violet reached out to touch Kara's face, as if to convince herself that Kara was real. "Oh thank god !" Kara who'd been bracing herself for a scolding or something to that effect, opened her eyes in confusion only to wrapped into a hug. "I thought we'd lost you." Kara smiled as Mrs Holmes gave her a watery smile. "Sherlock, how come they knew about her but not me ?!" Asked Mycroft indignantly as he watched Siger step forward to swallow Kara in another hug. "Because brother mine, you never bothered to show up." Said Sherlock with a smile. Mycroft frowned before clapping his hands together. "I told our parents you would be delighted to go with us to an opera, but in light of this reunion, I shall sacrifice my ticket and let Kara accompany you." Sherlock looked like he wanted to throttle Mycroft but he sighed and nodded. "Of Course. We'd love to !" Said Kara, intertwining her fingers with Sherlock's. He looked down and smiled slightly before grabbing his coat. "You ready to leave ?" The Holmes parents were still awestruck, but snapped out of it. "Of Course." Sherlock smiled before leading the way, taking Kara by the arm. Violet and Siger shot us one last smile before exiting the room. An uncomfortable silence grew as Mycroft stood in the room. Stuttering, he grabbed his umbrella and ran out of the house. I smiled as John pulled me in for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around him, letting it deepen. God I loved him. After a moment, he pulled away. "How about we take a break from work ?" I grinned. "We can bake." I entertained the image of John with his hair mussed up and flour on his face before nodding and grabbing one of the recipe books.
