wiseheartChapter 4 - Family Secrets of Sherlock & the Illustrious Client has been posted to FF.Net and to my writing journal on DW, where the unfinished stuff is housed.
In which we finally come to the promised twist and learn why it's a really bad idea to upset Mummy.
Excerpt:
"All right, Sherlock," he said, falling into his old armchair, opposite his friend. "Who's this girl, how do you know her and why did you take the case, even though Mycroft clearly had his fingers in the whole thing?"
Sherlock gave him a pained grimace. "You know who she is, John, don't be ridiculous! You're an Army doctor, surely you must have heard of General Merville."
"Of course I have," John replied. "But we're talking about his daughter here. A daughter you seem to know from more than just the tabloids."
Sherlock pulled a face. "Oh, for God's sake, as if I'd waste my time with reading their drivel! Why don't you try to use that tiny little brain of yours for a change? You've heard the girl's name; it's not a very common one."
"True. So what?" John still wasn't getting it, and it made him more than just a little annoyed. Having moved out of Baker Street also meant less exposure to Sherlock's, well, Sherlockness, and thus he was no longer entirely immune against his ex-flatmate's casual insults.
Sherlock glared daggers at him. "So, have you known anyone else by that name?"
"Not among my friends, I haven't," John replied.
Enjoy!
