78. Home Alone
Harry Potter thinks he's been struck, and thinks that Mycroph Holmes is a married man, but the truth tells him that what they thought was wrong, wrong! Mycrof Holmes was simply single, and a single dog who didn't play by common sense. And just now after he went to threaten Mycroft about their Dad having a girlfriend, he was told that Lestrade and Angelia had broken up, oh, it was a double injury, Harry I was confused Potter was critically attacked.
Harry's face was confused, he couldn't be better, all the previous pranks on Mycroft were carried out on the basis that Mycroft was a "married man", and now when Lestrade told him that Mycroft was a single man, when Mycroft told him that Lestrade had broken up, Harry felt that all his efforts were in vain, he silently returned to the room and lay motionless on the bed, he had no face to see. The bear kids in the living room all knew what was going on, and they looked at me and I looked at you, and finally pushed Harold and Loki out, and let the two of them go and persuade Harry.
In fact, this is just a small misunderstanding, if it is said that they are all responsible.
Loki knocked on the door of Harry's room after saying a word of trouble, and Mycroft could see Harry's frustration, but he wondered what it had to do with him.
Harry lay motionless on the bed, covering his head with a pillow, and when he heard footsteps, he said sullenly, "I need to be still." ”
This kind of Harry is still quite rare, Loki rolled his eyes and strode forward and pulled the pillow on Harry's head to make Harry not face them, Harry looked really depressed, Harold sighed and walked up to Harry's bed and said, "Actually, we are also responsible for this matter, Harry, you should not blame yourself." ”
"Mr. McCroft turned out to be single, and Dad turned out to be single, and all the previous efforts were in vain." In fact, in addition to this, Harry was even more hit by the fact that Lestrade was single, Harry knew how much Lestrade wanted to find a wife, and even introduced Angelia to them to show that he liked that woman, but now that they had broken up, this matter was told to him by the man who was suspected of having a crush on their Dad.
"Why did Dad break up?"
Harry couldn't figure out why they had broken up, the two of them looked good before, and even Lestrade had carefully prepared a gift.
"Harry, you don't want to say that you agree with that woman being ours...... Mum? The one who doesn't qualify? ”
Loki doesn't like Angelia, probably Loki's personality belongs to the type of dare to love and hate, if you don't like it, you don't like it, plus he also has a short-term personality When Angelia abandoned them in the snake house, it was destined for Loki's hatred of her.
"......," Halliten sat up and said, "Okay, it's not qualified, but I believe it can be changed." ”
Harold and Loki looked at each other, change? That doesn't seem to be a big possibility.
"Maybe there's a chance to save it."
Harold said tentatively, he didn't want to hit Harry again, but he heard a chuckle, and a boy wearing a white shirt with a small apron over it walked in, Loki raised an eyebrow and said, "Hannibal, what are you laughing at?" ”
"It's impossible to save according to Greg's character, and I've just asked, it was Miss Angelia Gilson who proposed the breakup, and Greg also thought they weren't suitable, saying he couldn't give Miss Angelia Gilson the life she wanted."
Just when Harry was struggling here, Hannibal had already asked a little question, and it could only be said that the smell of sadness in Lestrade was too strong, that is, Hannibal wanted to ignore it, and he simply regarded them as precious sons and friends at the same time, and in Hannibal's smile, he still said a little about the breakup, according to Hannibal's understanding of Lestrade, this relationship is impossible to have any more results.
The last possibility is gone, is it really to cheapen Mycrogh Holmes?
"Harry, you seem to have entered a misunderstanding, Greg is not a heterosexual, just like Sherlock said before that our Dad is bisexual, or potentially bisexual, women are not Greg's only choice, from Greg's personality and his own reasons, I think men have a better chance of becoming Greg's partner, this is from the doctor's opinion."
Harry didn't support Lestrade finding a man to be a partner, but he couldn't find the "...... of a woman" like Mycroft Holmes, and so on, it seems that Mycroft is single.
"But whether it will be Mr. McCroft or not, we need to see."
Harold winked at Harry, even if he cleared up the misunderstanding of the "married man", but the little Lestrade still had to settle the account with McCroft about his recent usurpation of Lestrade's time. Hannibal closed the bedroom door, and Mr. McCroft had the right to pursue Lestrade, but given Lestrade's current state, he shouldn't have entered into a new relationship, and it wasn't that simple for men to win their Dad.
"What Greg needs now is not love, a failed marriage, a failed blind date, a failed love has hit Greg, so we can't give Mycroft a chance to take advantage of it, humans are best deceived when they are vulnerable, so we shouldn't want to let Greg's love be mixed with some other things."
Now is probably the moment when Reistrade is more vulnerable, if McCroft takes advantage of the situation to fall in love with Reestrade, then this love is not pure love, there is some dependence, gratitude, and so on.
"So ......"
"The plan doesn't change, let it be."
The four Lestrades looked at each other and smiled, yes, the plan remains the same, where is it so easy to kidnap their Dad?!
Lestrade didn't know what little Lestrade had in mind, although he wasn't in a very good mood, but after experiencing such a thing as divorce, he didn't think there was anything that couldn't be overcome, and they ate pie at noon today, oh, of course, not looking up at the stars, as a gourmand at home, Hannibal didn't appreciate this traditional British "food" very much, just an ordinary fruit pie.
Lestrade studied it carefully, food occupies a lot of positions in the oriental civilization, and he has also heard that Chinese nourishing soup is a very nutritious food, after Google and other searches, he finally used the ingredients he has at home to stew a pot of delicious Chinese cuisine for Mycroft, it is said that the name is called flower pig's trotter soup, Lestrade does not understand the meaning of the above, probably very nutritious.
Hannibal also has a study of Chinese cuisine, and as a professional gourmand and chef, there is nothing that Hannibal will not cook, and he will not tell Sù Reistrade what the effect of this peanut pig's trotter soup is.
Although the bears knew about Lestrade's breakup, they didn't mention it in the first place, Raven originally thought that Miss Angelia Gilson was no longer Dad's girlfriend, and she could sue, but who knew that Harry said that this kind of thing shouldn't be used to upset their Dad now. The two Sherlock Holmes and the nine Lestrades got along fairly well, at least on the first day the children wouldn't do anything in front of Lestrade.
Of course, the most disappointed person in this "harmony" is probably Sherlock, who originally thought that McCroft's life would be difficult.
During the lunch break, Raven was in Mycroft's room, no matter how much Reestrade tried to coax her to leave, Mycroft smiled at Reistrade and said that he could lull Raven to sleep, and Reistrade could only tell Raven not to touch Mycroft's wound and go back to his room. Bedtime stories are Raven's favorite, but before telling the story, Raven grabbed Mycroft's hand and said with a serious face, "Angelia Gilson won't be our Mum anymore, will she?" ”
"Yes."
McCroft thought that Raven was very sad that she couldn't have one more person who loved her, but who knew that Raven giggled twice and said, "I don't like her." ”
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't like us either, Har won't let me speak ill of Miss Angelia to Dad, but she won't protect us when we're in danger, Mycro, will you protect us?"
Mycroft touched Raven's head, it looked like Little Lestrade and Miss Angelia Gilson had something going on that they didn't know about, maybe Sherlock should know something, but they didn't mention it at the time for the sake of their relationship. But no matter what kind of mistake Angelia makes, she annoys the little sapphire princess Raven who stands at the top of the food chain in the family.
"Of course, I'll protect you."
McCroft didn't think much of Raven's question, after all, Raven was only a three-year-old child, and she only began to speak fully. He had no idea about Raven's special abilities and how big she was, and Raven couldn't lose to any of her brothers.
"Story, story! Mycro, the story! ”
Mycroft didn't pay much attention to the question, because Raven's transformation was so fast, and she began to ask Mycroft to tell a story, a little story about before she went to bed at noon today.
Mycroft lay flat on the bed and briefly recalled, and then began to tell a new fairy tale, in which there was a story of a very kind father who lived happily with his children.
When Reestrade knocked on the door of Mycroft's room, Mycroft had already woken up, he glanced at Reestrade who came in lightly and smiled, he pointed to Raven, who was sleeping soundly next to him, Reestrid nodded and slowly sat down on the bed.
"Are your wounds alright?"
"Nothing at all."
Raven wasn't so easy to wake up, unless it was when she had slept enough, and Lestrade, who knew Raven well, didn't deliberately lower her voice too deliberately.
He looked at little Raven who was clinging to Mycroft and laughed, "I'm still surprised that Raven likes you so much." Lestrade touched Raven's head, his little Raven princess was so ...... Special, it is a treasure given to him by God, since he was a child, Raven was more shy and introverted, who knew that after meeting two Sherlock Holmes, she actually showed her rare extroversion.
"I told you, I'm going back to work at Scotland Yard tomorrow, and the little angels of our family will be handed over to you."
If something really happens, I don't know who is protecting whom.
Mycroft's smile was a little stiff, was this the time he was going to spend a day with little Lestrade? So he came here to be the temporary guardian of Lestrade Jr., and remembering the special Myrkauf of Little Lestrade, he said that this job was actually quite difficult, even more difficult than his official duties.
Anyway, Lestrade was relieved to hand over the bears to Mycroft.
The next day came quickly, Reistrade was going back to Scotland Yard to report, and Sherlock was going to Butts Hospital to do a job, in fact, he just didn't want to be under the same roof with McCroft to make an excuse, so today's home is left with McCroft, I am sick, Sherlock Holmes, and eight bear children. The one-on-eight situation puts Mycroft at a disadvantage, and even if he is powerful, he can't get eight.
However, in the morning, apart from all the strange food and endless questions, little Lestrade did not do anything to Mycroft, there was no way that he was injured now, and if the wound cracked, Lestrade would be angry, which made Harry afraid to do anything about it.
And the enemy's attack on Mycroft was not over, and Mycroft was sure that some of his agents must have betrayed him, either bought by his political enemies or committed treason, or he would have known so quickly that he had lived in Lestrade's house.
It all started with their lunch at noon, and although they drank a lot of sweet and sour tea in the morning, the bears still skipped Mycroft's lunch, which is very important for the intake of nutrients as patients, especially from food. Noon was also the most relaxing time for the children to take a nap, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon the whole apartment was quiet, and Raven dragged Mycroft to Lestrade's room to ask for a story.
Because the sunlight in Lestrade's room was direct, McCroft went there with his cane to close the curtains before taking a nap. When he stood by the window and noticed something on the opposite floor reflecting the sun's light, it just happened to hit his eyes, and Mycroft frowned and squinted his eyes, if he guessed correctly, someone on the other side was watching them. Without pause, Mycroft closed the curtains, pretending not to notice anything.
He took out his phone and texted Anthea, who needed to ask if it was the person Anthea had arranged to come over to keep him safe.
But the answer is no.
Then there is only one possibility, the opposite is the killer, judging from the fact that he has just leaked next to the window and has not encountered an attack, the killer is not prepared to snipe him, so it must be another way.
“Mycro?”
"Okay, let me think about what kind of story I'm going to tell today."
Mycroft thought that he had already told Anthea about the matter and that Anthea would bring someone to solve it, but ten minutes later Anthea sent a text message, and they suddenly appeared that the mission was entangled and could not go over to support for a while.
Mycroft placed his phone next to his pillow, looking like someone was trying to make a profit.
"Our story may be ending early because we have guests coming."
Before Loki arrived, he joked that Raven and Merlin needed a bedtime story, but who knew that Mycroft really had such a way of telling stories, and when he was having fun, Mycroft told him that today's story was over, and Loki Prank Angel Odinson said that he was not happy.
"Still an uninvited guest."
McCroft added.
"What kind of guest is that?"
"Robbers."
Loki asked a question, and it was Thor who answered it rarely, and Loki glanced at his brother and raised an eyebrow and said, "Robbers? ”
"It's not a robber or something that comes uninvited."
Mycroft laughed, it seemed that there were indeed no goldfish in Lestrade's house, and Saul was rarely clever in other aspects, although he was not clever in other aspects, but he was really rare in this regard, "It is correct to say that it is robbers, but these robbers are ready to kill." "Mycroft got out of bed, he needed to call the other four children, Lestrade had just said yesterday that he was going to take care of the bear children, who knew that the man who wanted to kill him would come after him.
Thankfully, none of the bears were involved, otherwise Mycroft would have been in danger of his life before the killer arrived.
It's scary to get out of bed.
"Mycrof?"
"There was a little problem, and our nap was going to be postponed."
Hannibal raised an eyebrow, and judging by the way Mycroft looked, something was indeed going on. Harry and the others gathered in Lestrade's bedroom, and before McCroft could say something had happened, Merlin threw himself into Harry's arms and said, "Harry, Mycroft said that a murderous robber like the one in Dad's story has come to our house. ”
"Murderer...... Bandit? ”
Mycroft was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry for the danger I caused to you, but I promised Raven and your Dad Greg that I would protect you from any harm, trust me." ”
If he hadn't felt anything like Harry before, but he didn't know why he thought of Angelia before, she chose to run away by herself in case of danger without worrying about their safety, but this high-duty Mycrof Holmes actually said that he would protect them, Harry turned his face to the side, he didn't want to admit that he had just been moved.
"So Mr. McCroft means that these so-called robbers are actually here to kill you?"
Hannibal grasped the point, Mycroft was the superior and he saw it before, but what he didn't expect was that Mycroft's identity would involve all assassinations, if it was such a bold assassination during the day, it could only show that Mycroft's identity was really special, so that the killer would do it as long as he caught him alone.
"I'm sorry for the danger I caused to you."
Instead of treating them as children, Mycroft apologized seriously, and Harry let out a breath and got up from the bed.
As the eldest son in the family, Harry's authority was of course unquestionable, and he decided to help Mycroft, in other words, he was ready to take his brothers to protect Mycroft Holmes. First of all, Mycroft was injured, even if he was powerful, he couldn't use his abilities to the fullest without any weapons and without halving his abilities, and if he fell, then the next killer would be to target them as young witnesses, and helping Mycroft could be regarded as helping themselves. Secondly, this is their home, where would an outsider be allowed to come in and be presumptuous, and finally what McCroft just said was very much in line with Harry's criteria for choosing a stepmother.
So he decided to help.
"Mr. McCroft, maybe we can help too."
Mycroft knew what Harry, Loki, and Merlin were capable of, and he smiled and nodded, "That's great." ”
Harry nodded and clapped his hands at his brothers, "Tony took out all the 'toys' that helped Sherlock hide, maybe we need them." ”
“Yes,sir!”
"Merlin control zhì heavy objects, can you?"
Merlin laughed, "That's easy. "After growing up a year older, Merlin's magic is much stronger than before, and now he can control a lot of things alone.
"Thor, I remember that Sherlock gave you a baseball bat at Christmas, and before that Dad gave you dumbbells, etc., where did you put it?"
"Inside my room."
As the family's strongman and athletic genius, Thor's toys are heavier, and of course dangerous than Hannibal's knives.
"Loki, is it okay for you and I to be in charge of guerrillas?"
"As long as you don't steal my limelight, Harry."
Loki and Harry are a little more sedate than Merlin, and Loki's ideas are a lot of help.
"Hannibal, just ask for a little bit, start lightly."
Hannibal shrugged, he hadn't killed anyone for a long time, how could he break the ring for a few little thieves.
"I'll leave the matter of Harold's monitoring to you, don't let them run away."
Harold turned on the computer, he needed to hack into the surveillance facilities in the apartment, and by the way, he controlled the use of the elevator, since he came, then don't go back.
"Mycroft, I hope you can take care of Raven, and the final handling of this matter so that you can?"
"Of course."
McCroft smirked, in fact, Reestrade would go to work with peace of mind Another point is that he believes that as long as little Reistrade is at home, nothing dangerous will happen, because they are enough to solve all kinds of dangers, maybe one person's combat effectiveness is not good, but they are eight people to cooperate, all aspects of cooperation.
"Ready—"
