   Summary

   Sherlock is working a case on his own, chasing down a criminal and in need of help.
   John is depressed and lonely, strolling the streets, trying to avoid going home, where his gun mocks him.

   When Sherlock calls out for help and John decides to oblige, the two of them feel sparks. But when John vanishes, Sherlock is left to wonder if he will ever find the handsome stranger again.
