Vocal Patterns, a sleepy hollow fanfic

Another short and (not so) sweet Sleepy Hollow story that I was inspired to post after hearing that Sleepy Hollow was renewed for another season. :D

So, curious—anyone think that Henry might make a comeback? (And does anyone else think he sounds a bit like another certain space villain?)

Had Henry known that this would happen, he would have never let himself be caught.

"Do it," Jennifer commanded.

"I refuse," Henry snarled.

"Say it," Abigail said. "Or else."

"I hate to fall into such a cliché, but or else what?"

"Or else we make you and Crane spend quality time with each other."

Crane ducked into the Masonic cell. "I've made my feelings clear on this," he declared. "Do not drag me into this."

And with that, he scurried back out.

"Listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Jennifer declared.

"Or you can say what we want to hear and this can go much more smoothly," Abigail finished.

Henry gritted his teeth—he did not want to do this.

But if he didn't, then he'd be sitting here with a feeling akin to having his teeth pulled.

"Fine, fine," Henry snarled. "Just one."

Abigail and Jennifer nodded. "Fine," Abigail said.

Henry sighed and cleared his throat.

"'The force is strong with this one,'" he quoted.

Abigail and Jennifer exchanged high-fives.
