75. Shame on McGo
The British government, the Iceman, and the ace agent, no matter who these titles are placed on, probably have a sense of disobedience, but they are very suitable for McCroft, Mycroft Holmes is now the head of MI5 and MI6, and people who have read his resume think that this person is a legendary figure, you must know that this year's McCroft is just 33 years old, born in a public school, skipping a grade, and graduated from a prestigious university, just to say that McCroft's student days are already very remarkable. Instead of getting up from a small civil servant, he became an agent, and because of his own ability and laziness, Mycroft went from field to inside.
It can only be said that the decade before Mycroft was brilliant everywhere.
He gives people the image of being strategic, no matter what kind of task it is, as long as it is in his hands, he can turn the danger into a disaster, which is why he can be convincing.
This time Mycroft was injured, although not many people knew, but it really scared people, this time Ancia did not follow Mycroft, and when Mycroft found out that he was being followed, he also asked Anthea to send support, but the matter happened more urgently, and when Ancia arrived, Mycroft had been pushed into the operating room. As the first person under Mycroft Holmes, Ancia was first worried, and then blocked the news as quickly as possible, except for the president and other high-level officials, no politician knew the news of Mycroft's injury, and she also put the entire hospital under martial law, as long as all suspicious characters were found.
It was Sherlock who she contacted, because she had been with Mycroft for a long time, and Ancia also knew that her boss would not let his mother worry about him, so Sherlock Holmes was the best choice.
The Sherlock Holmes family is all genetically awkward, don't look at Sherlock and Mycroft have always quarreled and quarreled, but if something happens, the two of them will still care about each other.
After informing Sherlock, he told SΓΉ Anthea McCroft that he needed someone who could protect him, not their agents but an outsider, just like Mycroft said that agents are all paid to do things, who knows when they will turn back, and they don't know if there were traitors in the middle of this attack on Mycroft.
Anthea affirmed Sherlock's words, but where to find such a person.
Sherlock recommended a man, Greg Lestrade, whose landlord was also a super-responsible Inspector of Scotland Yard.
This person Ancia is also very familiar, after all, Mycroft's attention to Lestrade is not any less than Sherlock's, this inspector is trustworthy, which is understandable, to be honest, even if a person like Mycroft wants Lestrade to help take care of his brother, he needs to beg for policy, not buy with money or power, it can be seen, she said to Sherlock over there that she and her character who believes in Lestrade.
Of course, even if Sherlock didn't remind Lestrade, Lestrade knew that this matter needed to be kept secret, even for his girlfriend Angelia, he only used Mycroft to have trouble, who knows what this trouble is.
When Lestrade arrived at the hospital, Sherlock was already waiting outside the emergency room, and as soon as he came in, he asked about Mycroft, and Sherlock looked at him and said, "I don't know yet, it's still being rescued." β
Sherlock looked no different than usual, and Ancia stood aside and nodded to Lestrade and said, "Excuse me, Detective." β
"Oh, it's nothing."
Ancia's face was not very good, after all, it was her boss lying inside, a man who could shake the entire British government, and if something really happened to him today, it would be difficult.
"Are you worried? Shylock. β
Lestrade sat down next to Sherlock, although Sherlock looked no different than usual, but Lestrade was his landlord who knew his tenant and the bear child better, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood, not looking forward to something to happen to Mycroft as he usually said. Sherlock wanted to say something of his own, but he knew what he was saying and hiding from Lestrade's eyes.
The look in the eyes of the child......
"It's Mycroft lying inside, Mycroft Holmes, and to be honest, I didn't see you 'grow up' how anything could happen to Mycroft."
Mycroft has complained more than once about Sherlock's immature mental age, in their eyes Sherlock is no different from a child, except for height, so as long as Sherlock does not "grow up", he is still McCroft's responsibility, how could Mycroft give up his precious brother.
"There is an ancient Chinese saying called the millennium of scourge, and I believe this sentence is to say that the fat man dies."
Lestrade patted Sherlock, he knew that Sherlock was worried, and now whatever he said was a little reckless, thinking about it, he was a blood brother after all......
"Detective, we asked you to come here because we want your help."
Ancia found Reestrade before McCroft came out, no matter what McCroft's injury was, at least he needed to recuperate for a while, during this time, in order to prevent Mycroft from being attacked, she thought about it for a while and decided to entrust Mycroft with full authority to Reestrade, if she could, she even hoped that Reistrade could protect Mycroft closely, or throw Mycroft into Reestrade's house.
"Miss Anthea, you say, as long as I can help."
Ancia smiled gratefully at Lestrade, and she held out her hand to ask Lestrade to take a step to speak, although this time she came to bring people who thought they were loyal, but who knows if there was any adulteration in this.
"Regardless of the Boss's injury, I think he also needs to recuperate for a while, the current situation is turbulent The Boss is the target of everyone's eyes, whether it is at home or abroad, I am worried about what someone will do if they sink, so ...... Please protect him for a while, I don't know if it's okay? β
Ancia still used an inquiring tone, and she still knew whether Lestrade ate soft or not, and if she used a commanding tone, this matter would definitely collapse.
"Why not use your people?"
There were many capable agents under McCroft, and they were always more certain than his little detective.
"Because you're different, I'm not at ease handing over the boss to them, after all, our agents are here for money."
Ancia is not afraid to talk about it, the betrayal of the agent has happened a lot over the years, she can't take this risk, if McCroft really happened later, Ancia can't forgive herself.
"Well, I promise you."
"Thank you very much."
While they were talking, the attending doctor of Mycroft came out of the emergency room, he took off his mask, looked at Ancia waiting outside the door, and said, "The gentleman inside is not in any danger, please rest assured." β
The doctor had come out once before, and Ancia said to him very clearly, saving people and saying that if something happened to Mycroft, then the doctor would have to worry about his safety.
Anthea breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the doctor's words, she clenched the shawl on her body and smiled at the doctor, "Thank you, doctor." β
Sherlock was quietly relieved when he heard that Mycroft's life was no longer in danger, but his mouth was unforgiving, "I said that the fat man will live to be a thousand years old." β
Soon Mycroft was pushed out, his anesthesia had not passed, his face was pale but his breathing was steady, which made Ancia even more relieved, it seemed that her boss was quickly recovered, just when she sent Mycroft to the ward, Ancia had already conveyed the news of Mycroft's safety to the above, after all, Mycroft now has a lot of power, and when he is in danger, he must plan in advance, in case Mycroft can't get off the operating table, his work also needs someone to take over as soon as possible.
But as long as there is nothing big about Mycroft, even the above is relieved, McCroft's ability is obvious to all, and for the time being, there is really no better candidate than him.
"The patient is resistant to the drug and he asked not to use too much anesthetic before the operation, so I think he will wake up soon."
It was the first time the doctor had seen such a patient, and when he sent it, he had not much consciousness left, and he had to tell them not to use too much anesthetic, and even assigned some task to a man in a suit before going in, and the patient was awake halfway, but a small amount of anesthetic made him fall asleep, but according to the amount of anesthetic and the patient's physical condition, it is conservatively estimated that he will wake up in an hour.
"Doctor, I hope you don't talk too much about this matter, we will pay you and your team well."
Ancia smiled and handed over a check, the money on it was an astronomical amount, and it was more than enough to seal the doctor's mouth. The doctor looked at the check and was frightened, he began to wonder what kind of person he had treated, but in addition to the "wonderful" like Lestrade and Sherlock, there was really no one who couldn't go with the money, and the doctor took the money and laid down the package ticket, and the people who participated in the rescue before would definitely be tight-lipped.
Mycroft is among the best wards in the entire hospital, and even for Mycroft's safety, Anthea has emptied the entire floor, and Mycroft's stay in this hospital is short, as long as he is able to carry out activities, Anthea will immediately arrange for him to be transferred to the hospital or go home or ...... Go to Lestrade's house.
As the doctor said, Mycroft came to his senses in less than an hour, and after he came to his senses, Mycroft involuntarily began to frown, because of the injection of a small amount of anesthetic and the peculiarities of his body, he had begun to feel the pain of the wound, but it was not so painful that he could not speak. He took off his oxygen mask and looked at the people in the ward, and he smiled slightly, "It looks like this is not heaven anymore." β
"Congratulations, even if you die, it's hell."
Mycroft's joke was beyond Lestrade's imagination, and Sherlock was still arguing with him, so Lestrade reached out and pinched Sherlock's flesh to seal his mouth in pain, and by the way, he pressed the bell and called the doctor over. He picked up the oxygen mask and prepared to put it back on for Mycroft, "Be a good patient." β
The patient has to have the consciousness of the patient, and he has become so weak that he still wants to quarrel with his younger brother, and he really doesn't know what to say about Sherlock Holmes.
Mycroft looked at Reistrade, who had taught Sherlock a lesson, and nodded at him, "Good afternoon, dear Greg, I hope I didn't ...... because of my business"
Lestrade forcefully buckled the oxygen mask to Mycroft's face, and pressed back the words behind Mycroft, which did disturb Lestrade's date, another date, but in Lestrade's opinion, a small date and the safety of friends' lives, of course, the latter is more important.
In fact, Mycroft himself was also very difficult, but his forehead was already full of sweat after just a few reckless movements. Mycroft's gunshot wound was in the abdomen, and the first thing he judged after being shot was that the main organs in his body were probably not injured, and the bullet remained in his body just enough to prevent him from having a blood collapse, as long as there were no accidents in between, McCroft thought that the chance of his death was less than 10%, unless the terrorists had already calculated that he would come back to this hospital, and then bribed the doctor to give him a medical accident.
"Are you sure you don't want to stop the pain?"
The doctor checked and asked Mycroft, according to a normal person, he wanted to let himself fall asleep at this time, but the man in the hospital bed/behind the oxygen mask showed a shallow smile and shook his head slowly, "Thank you, doctor, but I don't need it." β
"Of course he didn't need it because he was worried that painkillers and anesthesia would affect his brain."
Sherlock has been in mouth cannon mode since McCroft woke up, which is probably the famous awkward concern of the Sherlock Holmes, in Lestrade's words.
"The patient's spirit is not bad, but please take care to rest, the wound needs to be changed every hour, and do not move the patient."
The doctor wanted to add that the catheter had been connected, even if it was for convenience. But he clearly felt the murderous gaze from the patient, so he obediently shut up and left. Sherlock, however, thought of such a thing, and he took two steps back and glanced at the hospital bed, and then laughed haha, laughing insolently.
Mycroft's expression was no longer right, how could he not know what the bear child Sherlock was going to see, but where was this kind of thing that he could control, he also felt very unhappy!
It was still Reestrade who kindly told Sherlock to shut up, this kind of thing is human, even if Sherlock is lying in bed now, the step cannot be omitted.
"The boss has determined that it was a terrorist organization that attacked you, and it has a little to do with the last business trip, but I will deal with it, and I already know the news that you have come to your senses, and I don't think there will be any turmoil that shouldn't have happened."
Anthea's movements were fast, and the news of Mycroft's waking up spread out as soon as possible, and by the way, the identities of all the attackers had been clarified, and it was indeed a hidden danger left before.
Mycroft moved his finger to show that he knew that Ancia had been raised by him, and that he still believed in her.
He pointed outside, according to Anthea's personality, there must have been an agent arranged outside to be the bodyguard, Anthea attached herself and whispered to Mycroft, "I will investigate, I entrusted you to Inspector Lestrade and little Mr. Holmes before you recover, I think they are the two of you trust the most." β
Mycroft raised his eyebrows, entrusting him to be an inspector would not cause any trouble to others, and besides, his injuries were just very strict to look at, and he would recover in a short time.
"Mycroft, you still have peace of mind, and I'm sure Miss Anthea's ability to handle things won't disappoint you."
Indeed, he will not be disappointed, as long as he wakes up, all the power will return to his hands, Anthea is a good secretary with ambitions, of course he knows. In the end, Anxia left after seeing that Mycroft's situation was completely stable, and this time there were still a lot of things to deal with behind the attack on Mycroft, and she needed to go back with the news that Mycroft was safe to grasp the overall situation.
After being awake for a short time, Mycroft finally couldn't resist the fatigue of his body and fell asleep, Sherlock sat on the sofa with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking, and Lestrade sat on the chair next to McCroft's bed, quietly waiting for Mycroft to wake up again. He didn't dare to be careless, Ancia gave Lestrade a look before leaving, if the people inside wanted to attack Mycroft, this time was the best time, after all, Mycroft was now a beast with teeth pulled out and nails cut.
"What are you thinking, Inspector?"
Sherlock didn't know when he finally walked over from his couch to Lestrade's side, and he could tell that Restrider was thinking about something.
"I'm just thinking that Mycroft is also an ordinary person." Lestrade pointed to Mycroft on the hospital bed and said, in his heart, Mycroft belonged to the invincible existence before, after all, the identity is placed there, and the ability is also there, who knows that today is the first time that Lestrade thinks that he is an ordinary person, an ordinary person who also needs to be protected.
"Mycroft has a lot of enemies, Detective, do you really want to protect this dead fat man?"
Mycroft's enemies weren't petty, so it was the first time Sherlock had asked such a question, and he still had a small question in his mind: Did Lestrade really protect Mycroft and Dead Fat Holmes?
"Sherlock, you can just say that you're worried about Mycroft, I promise I'll protect Mycroft, so you can rest easy?"
If Sherlock can completely see through Reestrade, then now Reistrade can also see through a little Sherlock, especially when Sherlock is duplicitous, he puts Mycroft's hand outside into the quilt, Sherlock pouts This atmosphere makes him feel very dull, he wants to vent his unhappiness in his heart but there is no place.
Lestrade also told the bears that there were some things that he couldn't go home tonight, and this was the first time that Lestrade didn't go home at night after adopting the bears, because Harry didn't explain it clearly at the time, and he thought he was going to spend the night with Angelia Gilson, so he was so scared that he almost dropped his phone, so Lestrade immediately explained that it was Mycroft who was injured and that he needed to stay with him in the hospital for the night.
When Harry heard the real reason, he thought to himself that it would be better to spend the night with Angelia, which was obviously not as good as the previous option.
But he still politely inquired about Mycroft's injury, and expressed his concern and that of his brothers, with a little more politeness in this concern.
However, there is always an adult in the family, so Sherlock rushes back, Reistrade thinks he can handle it here, and Mycrof, who wakes up a little refreshed, also says that he trusts Reestrade too.
Sherlock left in a huff, and it can only be said that the dead fat man who lies on the hospital bed / can't speak is the cutest, as long as he opens his eyes, he is the brother who hates not having one of them.
I have to say that Sherlock's evaluation of Mycroft and Mycroft's evaluation of Sherlock are so ...... Run in the same groove.
It's all cute when lying in a hospital bed/when you don't wake up.
Reestrade and Mycroft are much more relaxed in the ward, according to McCroft's judgment, those political enemies in the country will not be stupid enough to start at this time, the British Empire will first fight again after the outside has calmed down internally, if he suddenly falls at this time, it will not be good for anyone at that time, and what worries McCroft is whether his agents have been bought. He took Lestrade's wrist and mouth-shaped, "I'll leave it to you tonight, Greg." β
"Don't worry, no matter who it is, I'll let them come and go."
Lestrade only remembered that he had reported to the bears that he had not returned home at night, and had forgotten about his girlfriend Angelia, and he didn't remember it until Angelia's phone came after him, and it was no wonder that Lestrade had happened so much that he had completely forgotten about Angelia, and he looked at Mycroft with an apologetic smile and ran into the corner to answer the phone.
Over there, Reestrade has been apologizing, because McCroft has been in big trouble and he has not had time to call, but probably Angelia has been too insecure recently and McCroft is her imaginary rival, so she has a rare quarrel over there, she thinks that Reestrade has nothing to help her friend, but if she is Reestrade's girlfriend, there is nothing wrong with her being there, so she strongly asked to come to Reestrade's side.
If Mycroft's identity wasn't that complicated, Lestrade would have let her come, but the news of Mycroft's injuries couldn't be leaked, and he couldn't have let Angelia come to the hospital tonight without knowing if there would be danger.
And because Reestrade couldn't explain it too clearly, Angelia really thought he had something to do with McCroft, especially after Reestrade said something and hung up her phone in a hurry.
To be honest, Lestrade didn't really want to hang up, but Mycroft called his name over there and asked him for help.
What is McCroft responsible for?
It's not because the doctor made him lie motionless on the bed/Trouble before, he had been patient with the urge to be convenient, but because Lestrade was sitting there he really felt ashamed and had been patient, just now Lestrade went over to answer the phone was a blessing for Mycroft, while cursing the doctor and the catheter, he was ready to free nature, who knew that the patience had exceeded the limit for too long, and he couldn't pee......
The director, Mycroft, called Lestrade by name with a blushing face, and asked him to help check if the tube on his body was normal, and the area of shame.
That's probably the life of Mycroft...... Shame on you.
