Sherlock woke early and went into Joseph's room. He stood over his cot and watched him sleep. He took one of his hands in his, he was so small. He looked out the window at New York, thinking about the trail ahead of him. He thought he'd be around to see him grow up, it looks far less likely now. He didn't hear Joan come in.
'Hey, it's early.'
'I couldn't sleep.' Joan looked down at Joseph. 'Been thinking about things.'
'Sherlock, anda have nothing to worry about. They jury will see though her lies.'
'We hope.' Sherlock picked him up. 'I'd hate to leave anda two.'

'Like here but...British.' Joan giggled.
'So not much difference?.'
'Except the views, I cinta the scenery here.'
'It's gorgeous, isn't it?.'
'So..When's the big day?.'
'We haven't decide yet.'
'You nervous?.'
'A little but that's to be expected. I'm just hoping the baby doesn't come on the day.'
'That would be interesting.' They both started to laugh when Sherlock came back downstairs.
'Hey, where'd anda get to?'
'I went up and ran...

Sherlock went upstairs to get changed. He had to do something about Irene. Joan came out of the bathroom when he had just finished dressing.
'Where anda off too?.'
'Gregson phoned. He needs me at the station.' He kissed her forehead. 'I won't be long.'
'Take a key with you, i'm booking the scan so i don't know how long i'll be.'
'Alright, i'll see anda later. cinta you.'
'Love anda too.'

'Sherlock...' The man grabbed her oleh her hair to shut her up.
'Don't anda touch her.' The man turned to face him.
'Or what?. How are anda gonna stop me? I'm the one with the gun.' He pointed it at Joan's head. 'One wrong move.'
'You won't use it, on her anyway.'
'How do anda know?.'
'The way your holding it. I noticed over the years that when criminals hold guns, they hold it a certain way when they really mean their going to api it. The way your holding says anda have no intention of killing her.' The man looked at Joan then threw her to the floor. 'Now, why did anda take her?.'
'It was the only way...

'Captain, we have her in interview room 2 but she's refusing to speak to anyone.'
'That's why i brought him.' Sherlock made his way to the room. He went in and sat down in the chair opposite her.

She berkata nothing. 'Irene i know anda were there, i could smell your perfume on Joan's pillows. The pertanyaan is why were anda there?.' She...

'Captain, what...'
'No time, anda need to come with us.' He opened the cell. Sherlock could tell he was panicking.
'What's wrong?.'
'Somethings happened, we need you.'

'Captain, just tell me.'
'Joan's gone.'

'Your up early.'
'I couldn't sleep.' She went into...

'What are anda doing here?'
'Can't a guy drop oleh and say hello?'
Sherlock stepped outside, shutting the door behind him.
'When the guy happens to be a current drug addict, no he can't.'

She heard him tumble out of bed. He came downstairs to the kitchen.
'Didn't i ask anda to clean this up last night?.'

Sherlock woke early and just stared at his brother. They were going halaman awal today and he couldn't be happier. He would see his son soon but most importantly he would see Joan. He missed her so much. Mycroft rolled over and opened his eyes.
'Morning.'

'No? She has a right to know brother.'
'She doesn't need any lebih stress, it's not good for her atau the baby.'
'But...

'What?'
'The only way anda can save Sherlock is to give up your baby.'
'That's..That's sick.'
'You berkata anda would do anything to save him. His life is in your hands.' She hanged up the phone. Joan couldn't believe what she heard, Give up her baby?

'It wasn't my decision.'
'Your the captain. Everything that happens gets run oleh anda first.'
'And is then reported to the chief of police, who makes the final call.'
'Why didn't anda tell him that Sherlock wouldn't do such a thing?.' Gregson berkata nothing. 'He doesn't know about Sherlock does he?.'
'No...

When he got home, Joan was just out of the shower.
'Hey, where did anda get off too?.'
'The police station. we've been broken into.'
'Did they take anything?.' Sherlock shook his head. 'Then why would they bother?.'
'Probably some kid, who was dared but wimped out at the last second. Anyway anda need to get dressed, they'll be here in five minutes.'
'OK.' She went into her room. The doorbell rang.
'That'll be them.' Sherlock went downstairs and opened the door. 'Captain Gregson. Detective Bell.' He motioned for them to come in.
'Where do anda want us to search?.'
'Just the kitchen.'
'But how do anda know...'...
