    Summary

    (Modern AU)

    Brilliant!"

    "This isn't just a piece of evidence or a simple clue, John. This could be someone working under Milverton, someone who wants us to dig deeper here, to help them. A cry for help, cleverly disguised as a clumsy attempt to frame their master. A desperate signal from within the snake's nest!”

    John’s eyes widened slightly. “An inside man?”

    “Exactly!”

    Or, William has set the stage and created a few loose threads for Sherlock to follow. They are entering into dangerous territory but as long as everything goes to plan things would be alright.

    Summary

    (Modern AU)

    “Highly sought-after flats don’t have agents who simply vanish,” Sherlock pointed out, his mind already racing through possibilities. “Unless… unless there’s a reason for him to vanish. A compelling reason.”

    “He seemed perfectly normal on the phone yesterday,” William recalled, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. “A bit overly enthusiastic, perhaps, but certainly not the type to cancel without a word."
