@HeWorriesMe either of you if I just up and walked away.* Besides, I like my job. It's worth all of the risks.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe Sherlock only works with one other DI. None of the others know how to work with him. *I wouldn't be able to be there to help -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe ... I can't. I won't.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe It's a little late for that, Mycroft.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe Probably not. I prefer wearing a ballistic vest when he comes anywhere near. Doesn't matter much, but eases /some/ worries.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe With safety gloves and goggles too?

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe Maybe you should start following fireworks safety instructions around him.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe like a firework display that keeps on giving just when you think it's finished.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe Subtlety isn't his 'thing', is it? *I ask, staring at the first text. Not at all, when it comes to messages, at least.* More -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe What a fun stalker. He says you'll get a treat when you're let out. *I pause.* He wouldn't have anything to do with it, right?

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@GentlemanofHell «Working. He's fine. Nothing's happening.»

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe punching your brother or not. Instead, I groan.* Jim's watching.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe *Glancing to the mirror to check on you, I sigh and look at my phone, expecting hopefully an update on whether John ended up -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe I say,* I'll sort this out as soon as I can.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe for the precious short while we have alone while waiting for one officer to get in. Fucking procedures. Before they get near, -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe their bewilderment. I'll figure out a plan. Or John and Sherlock will. Climbing into the driver's seat, I rest my head back -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe to finish the search, if only because I have to, though I add in the request to bring in the sugar for evidence too, much to -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe *Will you stop already? It's my job. We can deal with it. Shutting the car door, I turn back to the team, instructing them -

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe all.* Here, *I mumble, holding the back door of the squad car open for you.* Careful.

[DI G. Lestrade @Lestrade_L]

@HeWorriesMe outside, I resist the urge to talk. Remain professional, or they'll catch that. That's the last thing we need on top of it -
