Rating: PG
Universe: BBC
Characters: John, Mycroft (appearing)
Word Count: 215
Summary: John is picked up by a limousine - again.
A/N: No time to write, no time to think, no time to talk, no time at all!
Finished in a hurry without second thought and I have to go, bye! :P
Btw, I started with the word from the book. So boring. <_<
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Not again,’ John thinks when a black limousine pulls up beside him and the door opens.
With a sigh he enters the car and looks out of the window, his bored expression hiding his inner turmoil.
He is pretty sure that Mycroft does not know anything and that John was able to loose any agent which might have been following him.
While John can almost always predict Sherlock’s behaviour by now, he just can’t predict Mycroft and that is – he admits – a scary thought.
Especially now, as he desperately tries to hide something.
It does not take long until they reach an old plant with no people around.
The car drives into one of the warehouses and stops a few feet away from a table with two chairs.
Mycroft already sits in one and drinks from a cup, looking as if this is a normal family meeting.
‘Which this somehow is,’ John thinks with wry humour, before he swallows thickly and steps out of the car.
He walks towards the table, but stops a short distance away and looks at Mycroft with a hopefully bored expression; his heart thudding nervously in his chest.
“Evening, Mycroft.”
John really, really hopes that Mycroft is not as powerful (and scary) as he appears.
Otherwise John’s really in trouble.

Date: 06/08/2012 18:31 (UTC)As much fun as it is to watch Sherlock and John wind him up, it somehow does not fit with "the most dangerous man you will ever meet".
(My pathetic prompt word was "yours" and I seriously wanted to write BBC!verse John saying 'Up yours!' but I have commited to stay in Victorian verse and that, although satisfying, would be anachronistic.)
