Complete story — includes the ending

A survivalist doctor goes missing, leaving behind evidence that he was selling prescription drugs to dealers. When his body turns up, the investigation turns to the Keep, a deluxe shelter for wealthy survivalists. Sherlock exposes the Keep as a scam, determining that the victim attempted to cover his drug dealing by stealing the shelter's stock of medications, only to discover that they did not exist. The man's business partner, who helped him break into the shelter, killed him and framed the survivalists to keep their practice from going under. Sherlock has been treating Fiona as someone special, but his uncharacteristic slow approach only leads her to feel like she is a problem for him to solve, so she breaks up with him. He explains that he has been even less successful at personal relationships than her (one lover to her two) and was trying so hard because he wants to make things work. She reconsiders and tells him she wants to have sex, right then and there.
