Phoenix pulled her hair into a ponytail in the cab, and tried to bite back the smile that threatened to overtake her face. He was going to be fine. He was alright. She twisted the hair tie around the long red, natural, hair, and thought of what he owed her now. Benefits…money.. now that was always a plus. And seeing poor Mycroft so irked. No scratch that, seeing him so defenceless, now that was worth the worry and the sleepless nights.
She got out at what Ava called Mycroft’s ‘Headquarters’. She strode in, slipping back to Rachael Walker, and greeted Jessica, who launched into a set of troubles.
Rachael listened as she strode through to her office.
“And Mr Holmes is here to see you.”
Phoenix faltered. “Pardon?” That didn’t make sense… she had just been with him…
“Mr Sherlock Holmes and John Watson,” Jessica clarified, and Phoenix sighed inwardly with relief. She must be tired, to make such a juvenile mistake. She sat at her desk.
“Send them in.”
