Change of hearts 11

Sherlock's POV
As I sat in my armchair I gazed at Allie who had taken a warm bath and had changed into some warm sleepinggear. She was sitting in her own armchair which had been delivered only yesterday. A blanket was drapped around her but still the poor girl didn't stop with shivering.
"You want some tea?"I asked her, my eyes not leaving her trembling figure. "I-I-I-I'm fine."she stuttered. "T-t-t-thanks.". I choose to ignore her comment and yelled at John who was in the kitchen to make some tea for us all.
"You jumped without a second thought into the cold water of the Thames to save a little boy's life."I mused as I heard the sound of John pouring water into the kettle. "You'll be a hero tomorrow in the newspapers.". "You catched the kidnapper."Allie replied and ducked even further into her blanket. "You're as much a hero as I am.".
I smiled sadly. "Heroes don't excist."I pointed out. "And if they did I wouldn't be one of them.". "Then neither will I."she pointed out. "You're right. Heroes don't excist. They're just people and people react on emotional imput. Heroes... That's what the tabloid makes of them.".
At this point John entered the room with the tea and placed it onto the coffeetable that was placed in the middle of the circle our three armchairs now formed. He offered the first cup to Allie who, though she had denied before, gratefully accepted the warmth it brought along.
"You know,"John started as he took a seat in his own chair, "it's funny and annoying at the same time to see that you two are so diffrent but are the same at the same time. The only thing she hasn't have is your obsession with Cluedo whenever you run out of interesting cases."."Ow, I love Cluedo."Allie exclaimed smiling on which John sighed deeply. "I give up!"he announced on which all three of us only seconds later laughed.

The next day, Allie went for a morningjog while John was reading the paper along with his usual cup of tea. "Did we make the paper?"I asked when I entered the livingroom and dropped my body into my armchair. "Only page three."John replied smiling. That was the moment my phone buzzed, announcing I had recieved a text.

'Seems like your new pet is quite the addition to your team. –JM'.

'Good to know you read the newspapers too. –SH'.

'Ow yes I do. I must say that miss Allison Jamesson has peaked my interest. –JM'.

That last text made my blood run cold. It was never good if something caught the eye of Moriarty. Especially not if that something was a person and the person was linked to me.

'I'm warning you, keep her out of this. –SH'.

'Ow my! You better be careful Sherlock or I might start thinking you actually care about her. –JM'.

Not answering would be agreeing to the fact but... So was answering. But then again... How could I ever miss the chance to threat Moriarty?

'I swear Moriarty, if you dare to touch her I'll be the one burning your heart out of you. –SH'.

'Looking already forward for it. Now tell me Sherlock, any idea where your precious Allison is? Cause I do. –JM'.

My brain started to puzzle all the known information it had assembled these last days about Allie. I knew she was fond of jogging and did so every day, preferebly in the morning. She would follow everytime the same route what would take about half an hour for her to complete. But now she was gone for more then an hour.

'The empty warehouse at Blazerstreet. Ow, and come alone will you? I hate to punish Allison if you don't. –JM'.

At this I stood up from my seat and putted on my scarf and coat, hoping John wouldn't find it suspicious. "Where are you going?"my partner asked not looking up from the article he was reading. "Out on a case."I told him. "I'll manage alone.". "Okay."he replied.
I pulled the door of our apartment open but paused in the doorway. "John?". "Yes Sherlock?"he answered. "If I don't return in about two hours.. Call up Lestrade and come to the empty warehouse at Blazerstreet.". At this he did lower his paper and looked at me worried. "Sherlock, where are you-.". "Just do it, okay?"I said and took off, hoping that John would trust me on this.
