Countdown all over the world

Darren's arrival surprised Annie a little.

She took two steps forward and unconsciously stood between Holmes and Darren: "Are you here to pick me up?"

Annie's gentle voice made Darren, who had been on the road for a while, gradually dissipate the depression in his heart.

Originally, he had prepared a lot of words, which he wanted to send to Mr. Holmes.But now, looking at Annie's appearance, she no longer wants to speak a word.

"Let's go," he said.

Taking Annie back was the only thing he wanted to do right now.

Holmes stood aside and watched for a long time in silence.

"You had a lot of things you wanted to say to me, but you changed your mind at this time. The hat in your hand was even about to hit me in the face, but you changed your mind the moment you opened the door."

Holmes clasped his hands together and placed them to his lips.

"Your eyes were on Annie from the very beginning, and you were very dissatisfied with the time she went back tonight, and even wanted to ask her to report her itinerary to you in the future, so that you..."

Darren and Annie turned their heads to look at Holmes at the same time, with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

"Holmes!"

"Holmes..."

The two spoke in unison, unanimously stopping him from continuing.

Holmes hadn't finished his original sentence, but was yelled out by two people in unison, and suddenly fell silent.He felt somewhat inappropriate.

There was a little bewilderment in his eyes.

Holmes looked at the two people around him and blinked: "Did I say something I shouldn't?"

If it was someone else who spoke, Annie's fist might have gone up by then.Such offensive words were enough to make his nose bruised and face swollen for a while.

but……

Annie glanced at Darren, who had a complex face, and sighed softly.

"Let's go," she said to Darren.

Darren's heart, which had been falling when Holmes spoke, finally stopped falling.In mid-air, he couldn't get up or down, which made him even more nervous.

Anne glanced at him and said—let's go.

Come back home.

The words that came to Darren's mind immediately, just thinking about it, felt a little joy in his heart.

Family.

What a beautiful word.

The two turned and left without looking back at Holmes.

It's just that Anne said: "Watson's matter will continue tomorrow morning."

However, there was no turning back.

Holmes looked at the backs of the two, standing alone at the door of 221B Baker Street.The coat curled up in the cold wind and fluttered beside Holmes.

It was already evening, and there were not many people on the street.Occasionally, a few passers-by would look at Holmes without any trace.

After all, this person just stood there, looking in a daze, which is really strange.

Holmes didn't know what he did wrong. He thought that Annie must have known about such an obvious look.

so obvious...

Say it yourself, is there something wrong?

Holmes pondered for a long time, but did not come to any conclusion.Whenever this time, he will miss Watson very much.

If that half-goldfish doctor was there, he would definitely interrupt his words with a very disgusted look...

Although, he always hated being interrupted.But this time, Holmes regretted what he had said.

For the first time, I felt that maybe I did something wrong in this.

He slowed down before raising his head.I was seeing two or three people looking at me secretly.

Holmes narrowed his eyes and wanted to speak angrily.A few words can clarify the cheating man, and in that case, the woman next to him will definitely know the truth.

And most importantly, no longer staring at him.

but……

Holmes thought for a long time, then turned around and opened the door of 221B, and strode in.

Put those scrutiny outside the door, as if a thin door can cut off your connection with the outside world.

This made Holmes feel extremely comfortable.

He took a few deep breaths before going upstairs.He returned to the room and continued his reasoning.

After Anne and Darren left, they didn't speak all the way.

Until the door, Annie pushed the door open.

"Here, thank you for taking me back." Annie said.

There was a little nervousness in Darren's eyes, he nodded quickly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Annie stopped him.

Darren immediately stood where he was, but didn't look back for a long time.

"It's late, I'm leaving first. I won't disturb your rest." He was still struggling.

Annie pursed her lips: "I think, let's talk about what happened today. No matter what, we always have to talk about it."

When Darren heard this, he turned his head a little nervously, and looked at Annie with a little request in his eyes.

Annie smiled and stepped out of the way.Pointing to the room, silent invitation.

Darren sighed and walked in.

Annie made a cup of coffee for Darren in an extremely peaceful manner, and handed it to Darren who was sitting there awkwardly.

"You know, I don't like so many restraints. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the orphanage early and went out on my own." Annie sat down and said calmly.

Apparently at this time, Darren realized how inappropriate it was for him to wait at the door of Holmes.He knew best how much Annie hated being arranged.

He had seen Annie get angry a few times, which was rare, and most of them were due to this.

In this era, it is definitely not easy for Anne to support herself at the age of twelve or thirteen.Just look at her skills, and how she moves in and out of the market with ease, it can be seen.

And she could have stayed in the orphanage until she was 16 years old.Or, you can choose to be adopted.

"You know, my background." Annie smiled. "I was almost adopted several times. That family even made many partners jealous."

The dean's aunt also persuaded Annie for a long time.

But it was still useless.

Annie hated the feeling of being dominated and arranged.From the very beginning, she has been eager for a free life.

In particular, countdown timers appear in the eyes.

"I know, you may be worried about me." Annie continued after taking a sip of coffee.

Darren nodded fiercely, as if he was afraid of missing this excellent opportunity to explain: "Yes, yes! I just saw that it's so late. If you encounter something on the way back, it really worries me."

This is not really a lie.The original purpose of Darren's departure was because of this.

It's just that when I saw that Holmes was about to send Annie home, I couldn't hold back for a while...

Darren's urgent look made Annie shake her head helplessly: "I don't want to accuse you of anything. It's just..."

She sat up straight, very serious: "You know, I hate this kind of thing. I hope this is the last time."

Darren's heart tightened.

The last time, that is to say, if there is another one, then he doesn't need to act as an agent.

Just thinking about it like this made Darren feel very nervous.He quickly raised his hand to promise: "There will never be a next time, I promise."

Annie smiled and patted Darren on the shoulder.

"Actually, even if Holmes didn't say it, I could more or less see it. However, since he pointed it out, why don't we have an open and honest talk."

Otherwise, even if the agency relationship is to be terminated in the future, it will not be so sudden.

At least, it was a clear warning to Darren.

Thinking about it this way, Annie felt that there was nothing wrong with Holmes' abrupt opening.

Darren was still a little out of his wits before heading out the door.

However, Annie glanced at the numbers above his head, a string of extremely normal lengths.He secretly relieved himself, told him to pay attention to safety, and let him go.

Annie, who was lying on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.

Anne's gaze before he left made Annie unable to relax for a long time.Even if she is ignorant of the world, she knows that McCoff's identity is not simple.

And even though it looked like he disliked Sherlock very much.

But it can be seen from Xiali's nickname.Anne consciously doesn't want to be entangled in the complex emotions of brothers loving and killing each other.

After solving the problem of Watson and his personal exhibition, let's leave early!

On the orphanage side, Anne has given a lot of financial help.Even Rebecca...

Annie pursed her lips and closed her eyes slightly.

Rebecca, I heard that she has been adopted.It was a very good family, a scholarly family.Should live well.The five-year-old girl no longer needed Annie to worry about.

Annie deeply felt that this place couldn't be more dangerous.It's good to go to other places early, even if you find a place that is inaccessible.

Maybe it can inspire me to draw more meaningful oil paintings!

Thinking of this, Annie felt that the idea was getting better and better, and even looked forward to it a little bit.Close your eyes and think about where you should go as your first stop.

That look of anticipation.As if she was going to pack up and leave tomorrow if she could.

However, when the sun rose again, Annie, who had just finished washing, welcomed an unexpected visitor.

Drinking milk by herself, biting the perfect omelet she made, Anne was enjoying the morning sun.The sound of footsteps came from the door, making her suddenly vigilant.

"Dangdangdang" knocked on the door, and soon it sounded.

Annie waited for a while before walking not far from the door.

"Who is it, please?" she asked.

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Holmes."

Annie narrowed her eyes.

"Mycroft Holmes."

The outsider added.
