"Go on…"

"There has been this strange aura the last few times we've talked, compelling me to believe that she is under some sort of influence. I don't know what kind."

"Okay, you're on drugs. Let's get you home." she said.

"I'm not on drugs!" he hissed. "Karen, you need to believe me. Something is wrong, very wrong, and Danielle is right in the thick of it!"

"Yes, yes, but let's get you lying down."

Oh God, my best friend has gone crazy. Karen thought.

"Karen! I can't, don't you understand? She is in danger!"

"Sure, Sherlock." Karen sighed.

Sherlock turned away, muttering in frustration before snatching his scarf back and putting it around his neck.

"Sherlock, I'm skeptical but…. the game is on, I guess?"

Karen smiled weakly.

Without warning the consulting detective whirled around and enveloped Karen in a bear hug."Thank you," he murmered.

"Look at you, Mr. Love-is-a-chemical-defect. How sappy."

"It is a chemical defect, found only in the weak. Like you," Sherlock retorted, pulling away.

"And you, it seems. At least I actually care enough to keep you from killing yourself out of boredom."

"A weakness, Karen. A weakness," Sherlock snorted, turning and walking again.

"Well, love is more of a strength. Which you officially have. Love, I mean. It's really not a defect."

"And you really should stop being so arrogant about this. People care about you, start caring about then a little and see where that takes you."

Sherlock ignored her, winding through the crowds ahead of her. There were so many people, Karen was afraid she might lose him. And then she did.

"Sherlock! Where are you?" Karen cried out.

There was no reply, and it was impossible to see him.

"You crazy…." she muttered, trying to find her detective.

She felt someone grab her hand, and Sherlock was pulling her through the crowd, a scowl on his face. "Walk faster, Karen. I can't drag you everywhere."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously what."
