He grits his teeth. "She was supposed to kill me, not John."
He's tense and afraid for John. If she comes in the room, the nurses won't be able to stop her, though he doubts she sees the benefit of killing John now.

[captainwatson]

"Mary!?" Mrs. Hudson looks horrified.

Lestrade immediately gets on the phone to his team.

"Why? Sherlock, why would she do this?" Molly asks.

[desecrated]

"Spare her, Lestrade, John's going to be worried about ... the child." His child, what he thinks is his child.

He hadn't meant to say all that, not sure how to answer the question. "M-murderous jealousy, don't you understand?"

[captainwatson]

"I'll do what I can." He says, "You told Mycroft yet? He could find her faster."

Mrs. Hudson winces at the 'jealousy' part. She didn't want to believe that Mary was capable. She holds Sherlock's hand.

[desecrated]

"Mycroft surely knows by now." There wasn't time.
Worry about John. Save John.

[captainwatson]

"I'll call him anyway. Keep me updated!" He says it as much to the women than to Sherlock as he rushes out.

Mrs. Hudson rubs his arm; "John's a fighter, love. He'll pull through."

[desecrated]

Sherlock watches after him, feeling very numb.
Is John going to be alright.
He's worried. He's very worried.

[captainwatson]

"Mr. Holmes?" One of the doctors approaches. "We've managed to stabilize John's condition, however he remains unconscious and on life support. He's unable to breathe on his own for the time being. The next several hours will be crucial. You may sit with him if you like."

Molly and Mrs. Hudson will stay at his sides.

[desecrated]

Sherlock gets up to go sit with John, clasping his hand gently.
Please be alright, John.

[captainwatson]

"Poor boy." Mrs. Hudson sniffles; "He looks...small."

He's hooked up to all sorts of bells and whistles to keep him alive. His heart monitor beeps at an adequate rate for now.

His hand will be cold in Sherlock's grip. Unresponsive.

[desecrated]

Sherlock tries to warm his hands.
Slowly, taking his time.

Not talking to them much. Not emotional, not crying. Not wanting anyone to see him cry because he's so worried.

[captainwatson]

Molly and Mrs. Hudson both take turns to get drinks and some snacks, trying to encourage Sherlock to eat. He looks white as a sheet.

They don't want to leave him.

There's still no update from Lestrade. Or Mycroft.

[desecrated]

Sherlock won't eat, he's not hungry.
He's still trying to warm John's too-cold hands, worried about him crashing or his blood pressure or heart rate dropping or - him to incur more damage.

He's so useless here.

[captainwatson]

While Mrs. Hudson is in the loo and Molly is getting some water, a text comes through on Sherlock's phone.

Do you want big brother to sort your mess out again?

Or are you man enough to face me yourself? - AGRA.

[desecrated]

Sherlock hates this, still warming John's hands.
Only a coward shoots an unarmed man.
He is not in any condition to be left.

John wouldn't forgive him.

[captainwatson]

What was I supposed to do? You told me I had to tell John it wasn't his baby or else you would tell Mycroft what I did. You were going to take away everything from me. Just because you're jealous.

You're the coward.

The heart monitor continues to beep steadily.

[desecrated]

Do you think John does not know already that the child isn't his? You take him for a fool.

My John. Smarter than he looks.

[captainwatson]

You're the one he plays the fool for. Do you think he'll want you if I go?

She's not playing anymore.

[desecrated]

He ignores that, letting the words seep in.

You want to leave. Leave us be.
Us against the world.
