- (Brookes POV) -
It had been about a week since my visit to the hospital and the baby secret was still safe; I know my Father and Mycrofts tricks all too well so I know how to trick them, I've grew wiser in my age and learnt from my mistakes. I wasn't ready to tell anyone about my pregnancy for many reasons one is because I'd probably be put into hiding, my family are rather protective, they always have been and I don't think my Dad understands that Callum and I are actually in a serious relationship he thinks I'll grow out of this phase and find someone else... I actually think my Dad is crazy.
Anyway one night I was sat on my balconey with my guitar just strumming the strings looking at the stars; Something I used to do back in Baker street, sitting in the window watching the world go by. This night was different though and tonight my world was flipped upside down...
*RING**RING*
My phone rang from inside my bedroom. I hopped off the balconey ledge then headed inside 'Dad' I read off the screen, I accepted the call then put the phone to my ear.
"Hey Dad," I answered. "What's up?"
"Brooke I need your help, this is big, perhaps one of the biggest cases we have ever been on!" Dad told me.
I frowned. "Wait what, whats going on?" I asked in excitement but I was kind of worried because this could be crazy.
"We need to hack Mycrofts security system and scare him," Dad told me.
I froze for a moment. "Why?" I asked in confusion.
"I may have a sister," Dad stated.
What the hell? My eyes widened and I couldn't help the gasp that escaed my lips... Another Holmes...
"How do know?" I blurted out.
"I WAS SHOT BY HER!" I heard John shout down the phone.
I ran my fingers through my hair. "WHAT?" I shouted.
For God sake I can't leave these pair alone for a few hours without them getting shot at!
"You were shot with a tranquilizer," Dad corrected him. "She was the therapist and she was the women John was texting!"
I pinched the ridge of my nose. "Bloody hell, so what will scaring Mycroft do?" I asked.
I quickly went over to my wardrobe and threw on some clothes.
"John told me Mycroft seems to be worried about her in a way, like he doesn't want what ever happened to her to happen to us," Dad explained.
"Why did you say us?" I asked. "I'm nothing like you, I mean you have a brilliant mind and sometimes you go off the rails but I'm not like you in that way."
Dad sighed. "I don't know we just need to scare Mycroft and find out more," He told me. "Are you in?"
I took a deep breath. "Hell yeah, I'm in!" I told him.
"That's my girl!" Dad said then hung up the phone.
Quick as a flash I threw on my shoes and coat then ran down the corridor to find Callum in the living room; He was half asleep on the sofa reading his emails. I went over to him and kissed the top of his head...
"I'm just going to see Mycroft, I'll be back later," I told him softly. "I love you."
Callum yawned. "Okay babe," He mumbled. "I love you too."
I smiled as I got up. "I love you three," I told him then I headed to my car and sped over to Mycrofts.
As I drove hundreds of different reasons why Mycroft kept this sister of his and Dad's a secret all were crazy and unrealistic but then again she was a Holmes and many things have happened to us Holmes' in the past so I guess we shouldn't be surprised about it but how did my Dad not konw about her, was she older than him, older than Mycroft... So many questions and so many theories that I hoped would get answered tonight...
I pulled up just down the road from Mycrofts house then saw Dad with John and two other people?
As I got out the car the group got closer to me, it was now I could see who the two people one were and the were creepy, it was a big man dressed as a clone and a dwarf dressed as a little girl; I've got nightmares already!
"Now that we are all here we can get started," Dad stated. "I've already paid security to let us in so we can set up, the clown and man child know what to do, Brooke I need your skills."
I looked slightly shocked; I was praying Dad didn't know I learnt how to hack or that I am a Government Agent!
"I don't know how to hack," I stated.
Dad rolled his eyes, "Mycroft mentioned the other day that Callum had taught you some useful skills from his agent training," He explained.
Thank you God for being on my side. "Oh yeah, just basic stuff," I told him. "I just need to connect my phone to the mains."
The two men headed inside the house while the three of us headed to the side of the house and up ontop of the extension to the mains; I wired the three phones to the mains, my aim was to hack the light and the other two were to hack the cameras. I searched the house for Mycroft and found him in his cinema room then we watched it play out.
I was terrified watching the man child run around the house kocking things over, having Mycroft chase him around the house... Then the clown appeared, Mycroft's Umbrella handle turned into a gun but it wasn't loaded, Mycroft was screaming and running around the house trying to get away from the clown and a childs voice was playing through the house.
"Did you use my sons voice?" I asked my Dad.
Dad's eyes went wide. "I needed a childs voice," He stated.
I huffed. "I will kill you one day," I mumbled.
Just then Dad climbed through the window as he put his deer stalker hat on; I followed Dad inside where a scared Mycroft looked up at us in horror.
"Help me," Mycroft spoke with fear.
I quickly reached round the window and pulled the wires out of the phones turning the lights back on.
"Experiment complete," Dad stated. "Conclusion I have a sister."
Mycroft turned angry. "This was you, you two?" He asked.
I crossed my arms. "No he made me do it," I stated. "And I want in on the truth."
"Conclusion two my Sister Eurus, appeantly has been incarcerated from an early age in a secure institution controlled by my bother," Dad continued.
I frowned. "Eurus?" I asked. "What kind of name is that?"
Suddenly I felt kind of glad my Mother gave me the simple common name Brooke and not something wild.
Mycroft put his head in his hands. "Why would you do this?" He asked.
"Why are you so scared of her?" I asked. "What happened?"
"Neither of you have any idea what you are dealing with!" Mycroft told us.
John the appeared down stairs. "New information, she's out," He stated.
"That's not possible," Mycroft stated.
I skipped down the steps to my Uncle and stood beside him... Oh God we did a number on him, he was a wreck!
"She was John's therapist," Dad told him.
"Shot me during the session," John added.
John really was upset about this whole being shot thing. "John it was a tranquilizer," I reminded him.
Let's all take a minute to remember when I was shot during the case with Irene Adler... Yes hello that was a real bullet!
As Dad walked down the stairs the two creepy men appeared in their Halloween costumes. "Right you two Wiggins has got your money by the gate, don't spend it all in one crack den," Dad told them.
Oh wow they are crack den friends of his; Nothing surprises me anymone.
The three of us were heading towards the door. "You're just leaving me?" He asked in anger.
"Oh we're not staying here Eurus is coming and someone's disabled your security," Dad explained.
Mycroft slowly turned and looked at me. "Hey don't look at me you're the one whoes been keeping secrets," I told him. "AGAIN!"
"Sleep well!" Dad said as he left the building.
"Why would he do that too me?" Mycroft asked John.
"Someone convinced him that you wouldn't tell the truth unless you were wetting yourself," John stated.
I held my hands up. "Not guilty," I told him.
John shrugged. "Yeah me," He stated.
"That's it, you're just going?" Mycroft asked.
"There's a place for people like you, the desperate, the terrified, the ones with nowhere else to run," John explained.
Mycroft frowned. "What place?" He asked.
I smiled. "Two, two, one, Bee, Baker street," I told him.
With a deep sigh from Mycroft John and I saw that was our cue to leave my darling Uncle to stew for the night.
"I'd close that windown Uncle," I stated. "There's an east wind coming!"
With that me, John and Dad had left the house... Tommorow we would learn more about Eurus.
