Josie's final in Los Angeles went very smoothly, and she won the championship almost without any suspense. Tony, who heard the news from nowhere, sent her a congratulatory text message after she received the award, and also expressed something by the way Because I was too busy and not at home during this period, I regret not being able to invite Josie to visit his Malibu beach home as promised, and eagerly expressed that if she comes to the United States next time, she will be the host and invite her to play.

Josie felt that Tony's enthusiasm for her was a little weird, so she texted back.

"Thank you for your congratulations, but are you sure that you really won't take me to any weird places?" ——jj "Look, this time it's your impure thoughts first (laughs), seriously , I don’t think you are only 14 years old at all, you can understand the resting jokes I said at dinner last time~”——ts she is really more than 14 years old, Josie swears, it turns out that Tony is the only one in this world God of truth.

"I thought the chairman of Stark Industries would be very busy." ——jj "In the company, my assistant will help me handle everything except the need to use my brain to develop weapons and sign contracts."— —ts Josie thought about it, she remembered what Potts was called Tony's assistant, and it seemed that she became Tony's girlfriend in the end.

"Treasure your assistant, it's not easy to have a boss like you." ——jj Tony didn't reply this time, probably because he was really busy, and Josie didn't continue to hold the phone, she and Carly After attending the celebratory dinner for the game, they returned to the hotel and began to pack their luggage. They booked a flight ticket to New York and back to London early tomorrow morning.

After packing her luggage, Josie went to take a shower. After she came out, she sat on the bed in a daze. She didn't even notice that Carly went to the bathroom to take a shower. She didn't come back to herself until the vibration of the mobile phone on the bedside.

Josie froze for a moment before realizing that she was thinking about Sherlock just now. She and Sherlock hadn't spoken since they quarreled more than a month ago. This had never happened in 14 years. Sherlock didn't know What was she busy with, and she didn't have time to deal with these annoying things because she had to prepare for the game, so the two hadn't been in touch, and Sherlock no longer came to her with a few text messages every other day like before, and she didn't She cared, but after all the matters at hand were dealt with, she sat down quietly by herself, but she couldn't help but began to think about how to make peace with Sherlock.

"Why did I go to make peace with Sherlock?" Josie was baffled by her own thoughts, "It's obvious that he took drugs first, why does it seem like I'm going to coax him now? Could it be that I'm staying with him?" Have you acquired the attribute of m for a long time?!" She was choked by the question she raised, and the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and she simply buried her face on the pillow and rubbed it, waiting for Carly to see it when she came out of the shower. It was Josie lying on the bed with a dead face.

"What are you doing? Josie, your cell phone is ringing on the bedside table and you won't answer it?"

Josie raised her face from the pillow when she heard Carly's question, reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table, and then took a look in front of her. The screen of the mobile phone showed that the caller was sh.

"!"

The terrified Josie rolled over and sat up on the bed, then stared at the phone in her hand and made no next move.

Carly looked at Josie suspiciously, "You can't get through the phone if you stare blankly at it, dear."

Josie moved her thumb over the connect button, but she hesitated to press it, with a hesitant expression on her face.

"Is it a call you don't want to answer?" Carly leaned over and took a look, "Oh, is it Sherlock's call? Did he call to congratulate you? Why didn't you answer it?"

"I didn't refuse to answer..." Carly's words acted as a provocative method. Just as Josie was about to press the answer button after speaking, the phone was disconnected.

"Look, he disconnected by himself, it's not that I didn't answer it." Josie put the phone back on the bedside table, then lay down, pulled up the quilt to cover herself.

"Aren't you going to call Sherlock back?"

Josie pulled the quilt covering her face to her chest, looked at Carly standing beside the bed, "International calls are very expensive."

"Sherlock is willing to give you expensive international long distance calls. Out of courtesy, you should call back, Josie." Carly paused, "Or are you two quarreling again? It seems that you rarely see Sherlock came to look for you at home. Did Sherlock have a girlfriend? Going out on a date during the summer vacation? But then again, Sherlock has reached this age. When I think that you will grow up in a few years, I will... ..."

Josie was a little bit dumbfounded, her mother was really out of her mind, she can guarantee that she won't necessarily get a girlfriend even if she has a boyfriend, Sherlock, okay?

"Mom, you're thinking too much, I just had a fight with Sherlock because he did something bad."

"What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Josie nodded with a serious expression.

"If it's serious, you should call him back," Carly sat down by Josie's bed, looked at her and said, "I watched you two grow up, and Sherlock is a Very smart kids, I have always agreed with you to become good friends, because Sherlock can teach you a lot of useful knowledge, which will make you accept it faster than me and your father, because you are considered the same age, you will There are more topics, but at the same time I also know that Sherlock is a very special child. His overly smart brain makes him different from others since he was a child, which will make him overly proud, because he has this qualification, but once he crosses the bottom line, This pride and intelligence will destroy him instead of making him. I am glad that you are a very patient child, Josie. Sherlock needs a patient person with correct moral values ​​to guide him. Josie, If you consider Sherlock your best friend, you should consider Sherlock needs your help."

"I see..." Josie grabbed the corner of the quilt with her fingers, paused, and then complained, "It feels like Sherlock is your real son, and you always speak for him."

Carly laughed, "Actually, I have to thank Sherlock. I have always felt that it is not your father and me who can cultivate you to be patient, careful and good-natured, but Sherlock. This is very good."

In the end, Josie called Sherlock back, but this time it was Sherlock who didn't answer her call.

Looking at the number on the screen of the mobile phone in her hand that no one answered three times, Josie began to regret not answering Sherlock's call just now.

The summer evening breeze blows slowly, messing up Josie's nightdress sitting on the deck chair on the balcony. She looks up at the stars in the sky. There are still people setting off fireworks on the beach in the distance, and occasionally there are children The sound of their playful laughter came faintly, everything was so real.

Josie rested her chin on her bent knees, and flexibly twirled the phone with her right fingers.

It seemed that she was used to keeping in touch with Sherlock all the time, and suddenly she felt like she was missing something after more than a month without any communication, which was very unaccustomed to her.

She laughed at herself and thought, what should she do if she wants to marry her boyfriend in the future? Will she still be unable to get rid of this habit? Locke has any relationship beyond friends, because this is too unreal, even more unreal than the fact that she has traveled through time, and she doesn't think that people like Sherlock will really like anyone, including her who has known him for ten years. Friends for several years.

The Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle is an unmarriageist, and so are all the Sherlock Holmes versions of the BBC.

Josie recalled all the information related to Sherlock Holmes in her previous life, but found that she had forgotten a lot of it. She had traveled to this world for so long that she forgot what kind of mood she had to accept this strange man in the first place. The world is gone.

"Ah, I only think about these things when I'm sitting alone on the balcony watching the stars in the dead of night. I don't want to know, but when I think about it, I realize that the memory before time travel is so blurred." Josie said to herself. After feeling a lot of emotion, he rubbed his hands that were a little cold from the wind, then put on his slippers and stood up, turned around and planned to go back to the room. Just as he was about to open the balcony door, the phone in his hand vibrated, and a new text message came in.

It's a text from Sherlock.

"Congratulations on winning the game again, good night. PS: I didn't take any more drugs, it was all taken by Mycroft."—sh's last words stopped Josie's hand trying to open the balcony door, and she was stunned Staring blankly at the phone in her hand, she didn't react until Carly in the room urged her several times.

Josie thought for a few seconds, pressed the reply button, and quickly typed a sentence on the keyboard.

"Mycroft did a great job." -jj

As soon as the text message was sent, Josie added another sentence.

"Good night." - jj

After sending the text message, Josie put the phone back into the pocket of the knit jacket, and couldn't help laughing when she opened the balcony door and walked back to the room.

If Moriarty is Sherlock's deadly enemy, then Mycroft is really Sherlock's nemesis.

"What are you laughing at?" Carly looked at the smirking Josie suspiciously.

Josie just shook her head, said nothing, and then lay back on the bed, but Carly still looked like she wanted to keep asking.

"Go to sleep, Mom, tomorrow morning at 08:30, we have to catch a flight."

During the connecting flight in New York, the airline upgraded Carly's seat, so Carly sat in the first class, while Josie was still sitting in the business class she had originally booked, watching her mother happily board the plane one step ahead of herself Josie was a little dumbfounded. She took her passport and boarding pass and queued behind the crowd. The luggage bag carried by the passenger in front accidentally hit Josie's knee. She fell face down and had to put her right leg back to make herself stand firm, but stepped on the person behind her.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose." Josie immediately turned around to apologize to the people behind her because she stepped hard, but she heard a familiar voice.

"You got my shoes dirty, Josie."

Josie looked up at the person who complained, it was Sherlock who hadn't seen her for more than a month and only contacted her last night.

"Why did you come to America?"

"I'll handle the case."

"Come to the United States to handle the case?"

Sherlock nodded, "Florida."

Josie couldn't believe it, "What case actually requires you to fly to the United States?"

"As a matter of fact, my client is an Englishman."

"How long have you been here?"

"eight days."

"Why didn't you contact me?"

Sherlock curled his lips, "My number can't be reached in the United States. Mycroft helped me solve this problem last night."

"You're going back to England today, and you just got your number last night?"

"Oh, it's all Mycroft's fault, he's so slow."

"You can do it yourself..." Although the business class line boarded the plane later than the first class class, but fortunately the line was not long and didn't have to wait too long. Seeing that it was almost time for her, Josie lowered her head and planned to take a look. Take a look at the seat number on your boarding pass so that you can find your seat after boarding the plane.

"Your seat is 16a, business class."

Josie looked up at Sherlock, who was much taller than herself. The other party was looking directly at the team in front of her. She had a bad feeling, "How do you know? The deduction is still..."

"I just went around the airline's system last night before I went to bed and arranged a seat for myself." After a pause, Sherlock continued with Josie's unfriendly gaze, "By the way, I will also help you." Seats were arranged, but I didn't expect them to upgrade your mother to first class this morning, while the two of us stayed in business class."

"..."

What else can she say?
