When he heard the news he was shocked. She went missing. How could he let her go? He felt very stupid. And it was stupid of him to let her go that night. They had just had a fight, and it was terrible.
But 12 hours later, the actual news that made his heart drop came.
"Sherlock, I need you here right now. They found her, and she has been hurt... really" - Bell's voice echoed from the phone.
And in a matter of minutes, he was in the eleventh presinct, literally rushing. And then he saw her. He saw investigators talking to her, only, she wasn't talking back.
Marcus approached him ;"She doesn't wanna talk. To me, to capt. or to them. Maybe you should try."
And he did.
"Hey, Watson. Please talk to me. I wanna know what happened, and I'm horribly sorry."
"It's okay." - she whispered.
"Who took you?" - he looked at her, concerned.
Tears filled her eyes.
"It was Jamie."
"Jamie?" - he said, his voice going unsteady at the thought.
"Yes."
"Should be reported then."
"I'm sorry, Sherlock." - her voice broke. -"I'm sorry, for accusing you of.... you know." - she said, starting to fall into tears.
"It's okay."- he tried to comfort her, but he was failing miserably. -"Can you tell me one thing?"
She nodded her head.
"Did.... she do anything to you."
"No..."
"I don't believe you." - he said, flinching.
"Not her anyways. They found her, and they took me with her too."
"And?"
"They were the ones who hurt me"
"Define the word hurt." - he wouldn't stop.
"Sherlock, please. I really don't wanna talk about it here. Can you wait till we get ... home?" -she was now sobbing. And it's the first time he had seen her like that.
He wanted to hold her, and never let her go.
She was so frail and fragile.
Sherlock stood up, and embraced her into a hug. That shocked, well, mostly everyone.
And she hugged him back, filling his body with warmth, again.
And he held her, like he was fixing her.
She was literally hugging him so tight, and he wouldn't let go either. Not until she's ready. To face these people around them.
Whispers were exchanged;
"Please... Don't let go of me."
"I promise I won't."
