Allright, this is the one giving me fits over the title earlier. It’s gonna be multi-chapter, eventual mystrade and I think maybe case fic?:
Stepping In – When Greg hears two men arguing in an alley, he goes to see, stepping in when one pushes the other against the wall. And this is how he meets Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes.
teaser Below the cut:
The night was damp and threatening more rain as Greg left his latest crime scene. Halfway to his car, he heard an argument between two men in a nearby alley. Well, one was arguing; the other seemed to be talking in carefully measured tones. He couldn’t make out the words, but something didn’t feel right about it. Greg carefully moved towards the sound.
He recognized the junkie that had started hanging around his crime scenes, demanding to help. He was talking to a man who looked entirely too posh for this neighborhood.
Suddenly, the junkie grabbed the other’s arm and spun him, shoving him face first against the bricks as he twisted his arm and growled something in his ear.
Greg was halfway to them in a heartbeat. “Oi!” he called. “Let him go!”
The junkie sneered at him, but stepped back, only to slip and trip over some detritus in the alley. The posh man turned and tried to catch him, but there was an audible crack as the junkie’s head hit the street.
“Are you okay?” Greg asked the posh man as he reached the junkie’s side. The other man was already checking for injuries as Greg crouched next to the pair.
“I am fine. I can take care of my brother at home.” He started to reach for his mobile.
