"A Study in Pink" Alternate Ending
Disclaimer: I own nothing related to the BBC show "Sherlock" and make no money from this work.
A/N: This is the first drabble I've ever written. The idea is that John got into the cab instead of Sherlock. Really, it's just an excuse to use a line from one of my favorite movies that I think really belongs in this episode.
John listened to the cabbie explain the rules of his game.
"Let me guess—you've spent the last three years developing an immunity to Iocane."
"What?"
"The Princess Bride? Every woman I've ever dated loves that movie. Vizzini thinks he's tricked Westley into drinking from the poisoned goblet, but Westley poisoned both because he's immune."
"Well I'm afraid you'll just have to take that chance, unless you'd rather be shot."
John rolled his eyes and stood, pulling out his gun and phone. "Yeah, unlike yours, this gun is real, so I suggest you sit quietly while I call my friend."
THE END
