Mycroft

I’ve been looking forward to this evening, looking forward to be spending it with Nell, dancing with her and showing her off to let everyone know she’s mine but now she’s nowhere to be found.

“What do you mean you haven’t seen her?” I snarl, grabbing the edges of the kitchen island as I try to control my breathing.

“Eh, how am I supposed to know where the chit is at all times?” chef says, waving his hands in the air. “She’s always running around, always busy, always cleaning...”

I clench down on my jaw, worry bursting in me at her not being here when she said she would. I had expected to see my princess among the crowd when I came home. See the only person who my eyes deem worthy looking for and she wasn’t there.

Not even trying to keep my voice tempered I say, “Has she said anything to you? About wanting to go home, or wanting to leave?”

“I am a chef,” he responds, with his hand on his chest, “Not the girlfriend of Little Red Riding Hood.”

“Pierre?” I say trying hella hard to be patient. “That’s your name right?” He nods, his double chins wobbling like he’s surprised I know it. And I only do because Nell has urged me to become more gracious towards the staff. “Do you swear?” I snarl. “Swear that she didn’t tell you anything?”

First thing I did was to check her bedroom and to my relief her stuff was still there, the air still smelling of buttercups like she’d been there just a moment ago. Her cellphone was there too but the dress and jewelry I’d bought her were gone, which means she must’ve put them on but where the hell did she go afterwards?

Rubbing a hand over my face, I walk into the lobby where the party is and people greet me, hands touching my back, my shoulders but I barely react, steering my steps straight towards the alcohol. Grabbing a whole bottle of bourbon, I take a glass, fill it to the brink and swipe it all down.

My guests stare at me, but I couldn’t care less and I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand as I clutch the glass so hard it’s close to breaking. Inwardly my body is shuddering, like it’s on the verge of having a seizure and I pick up my phone, informing the police that she’s missing.

They say they can’t do anything unless she’s been gone for twenty-four hours and I make a mental note to make sure to sack the whole police department and replace it with a new one before the month is over...

“Sir...?” my secretary says carefully, running over to me on kitten heels and a
