sorry I’m a piece of shit that goes AWOL. It’s been a busy summer. I put out a few replies. I’ll post a starter call later.

                         “ — So come out.                                You have been waiting long enough.                                 You’re done with all thetalk-talk-talk

                                                      With nothing on the TABLE. ”

            Seized by genuine astonishment, Mycroft’s forehead pulls into a minute frown as he takes in the man before him - quite frankly rendered a frightful appearance on behalf of a combination of severe lack of sleep, the age-old restlessness of nicotine, and -  not least - the mental pressure exerted by the adoring public’s demand for quick and effortless success. The dire need for a warm meal and a proper shave has always been civility’s greatest enemy, and thus, Mycroft decides to let the inherent harshness of the DI’s words slip seemingly without a care.              “ And yet, I cannot help but notice that the summoning, though inappropriate, has been most effective. ” There is the short-lived hint of a smile and the briefest moment of contemplation before he rises from his chair and, producing two finely-carved glasses from the cabinet by the window, proceeds to pour his involuntary guest a drink. Brandy never fails to ease the way into a conversation of personal importance - and these days, alcohol seems to have become an obligation whenever family matters are concerned. “ I assure you that nothing could not be further from my mind than to treat you with discourtesy. I have, after all, chosen to forgo any empty warehouses or eerily-lit alleyways. ” 

“ — Yeah, well. S’not like I had much choice in the matter. Menacing CCTV cameras turning away, quiet streets and sizable drivers that frankly, I don’t think driving is among the top of their skill sets. ” He’s really not afraid of Mycroft Holmes. At one point in time, perhaps, but Greg is an older man now, one who can size up a bloke by the way he moves and how he addresses others. It’s something that the Holmes brothers constantly underestimate in him. In any case, he’s learned that Mycroft respects a little push back when it’s not done with bravado. Greg’s not an narcissistic man but he’s also not going to be pushed about where these two are involved.  His eyes fall on the crystal and they roll to the side. He’s already huffing and his hands itch for a cigarette. Greg is tempted to take the offer of the Brandy.

“ — What’s he gone and done this time? ”

Sherlock tried really hard not to smile.

„It’s not alarming. I would…", he paused while looking at Greg’s motorbike with a mix of respect, interest and some kind of  jealousy. “The truth is, I would really like to have a motorbike too.”

He finally smiled when he recalled the amount of quarrels he had with his parents about owning a motorbike.

„As John would say – I’m jealous, that’s all. But also quite surprised I didn’t deduce that.”, he said an pointed out at Greg’s machine.

„Any chance you would let me ride it one day?”

Greg’s brows reach towards his hairline in surprise. Sherlock interested in the motorcycle, even more unexpected, is the admittance of envy. A smile moves across his features slowly, curling into the corner of his mouth. “ — Get your license and we’ll talk. ”

          “ oh, please, lestrade, i am not high. ”

     his words carry how insulted he feels by the accusation, but he’s been pacing around the crime scene for the past five minutes nonstop.

          “ i’m buzzed. ”

“ — So you’ve been drinking? Oh, that’s much better. ” Sarcasm thick in his voice. “ Can you give me anything so we can get you out of here to....dry up. ”

“It’s not my fault you make yourself so easy to read,” Sherlock replied, before walking out the door behind Lestrade. “This better be more than a 7, Garrett.”

“ — There is such a thing as keeping your deductions to yourself when they don’t pertain to the case, Sherlock. ” Greg gestures to the car. “ Retain my name in your memory or you may find yourself without cases. ”

“Actually, I’m not here for a tour. But it seems I am in the right place. I am looking for a detective inspector in the homicide unit. I have a message for him.”

“ — One in particular? Or just any of us? There’s about a dozen in this office. ” Greg glances back at the hallway, wondering how this girl managed to get this far in the building without escort but knows it’s not entirely without reason when the Holmes’ are involved.

“ — I’m going to kill him. ” Greg is drenched from head to toe, soaked by the Thames, looking more like a wet dog than formidable police officer.

“ — I think you left this on the counter, mate. ” He taps the man on the shoulder, after weaving through the morning coffee crowd, holding the wallet aloft. “ Don’t want to be running ‘round leaving this somewhere. The wrong sort of person might snatch it.”

“ — If you’re looking for the tour, I think they went ‘round the corner to the SC and O19 unit down the hall...This is Hommocide, tour doesn’t come here...for obvious reasons. It’s a bit gruesome. ”

“ — While I am, without a doubt, IMMENSELY relieved you have saw fit to knock, instead of breaking into my flat. Why did it have to be at four in the morning? There is nothing on. ”
