   Summary

   A small-time blackmailer is selling fear using intelligence records from the early 2000s.
   Sherlock Holmes takes the case out of curiosity—and walks straight into the cost of being protected.

   —
   Long before Mycroft Holmes became the man who could pull the strings of government, he was just clever, overworked, and dangerously limited, protecting a brother who never made it easy.
