Greg has found and busted into Mycroft top-secret government meetings just to continue an argument they were having earlier in the day.  

[knightsmaugjawn]

That day finally Mycroft’s ‘goldfish’ colleagues realised that DI Lestrade is not to underestimate. Greg is a very capable man, something Mycroft already knew. And after the first time it happened is forever secretly dubbed as event “Silver Fox” among Mycroft’s colleagues.

(extra) At first Mycroft really thought his colleagues were just a bunch of goldfish. The code “silver fox” was also used for a highly top secret file + mission. Thinking they were constantly reminiscing that particular important tough mission. Once he figured out the pattern, he somehow managed to use it to his advantage. It took some time since Mycroft pays no attention to frivolous things. Biggest give away was the fact: one day they gave Mycroft a present for Greg’s birthday, a small silver fox statue, smirking a lot as Mycroft walked away with the present heading home. Unware untill giving Greg the present.

Eventually, Mycroft has told the whole story to Greg once he completely figured everything out and taking care of the matter. And Greg’s first respond was laughing for at least 10 minutes straight and Mycroft’s scrunched up facial expression did not help either. Of course Greg knew the perfect way to lighten up Mycroft’s sour mood.

……… extra……

Greg’s present for Mycroft’s birthday was a silver fox badge. Greg ensured he would enquire with Mycroft’s assistant Anthea if he wore it the whole day on his birthday very visibly for everyone to see. Requesting frequent updates with pictures from her.
