I Lost Count...


Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade could only shake his head at all the commotion once more surrounding the Baker Street Duo as the precinct had taken to calling Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. This time their landlady Mrs. Hudson had been attacked by American CIA agents when Sherlock had taken something for a case. No one was hurt (well, except for the CIA agent) thankfully but it was indeed curious (NOT!) how the agent had sustained the type of injuries he had from simply falling out a window. Lestrade stood next to the imposing and immovable figure that was Sherlock when he sought his answers.

"And exactly how many times did he fall out a window?" Sherlock's answer was expected but the tone and look frightened the hardened detective.

"Oh, it's all a bit of a blur, detective. I lost count." It was pure ice and steel thinly masked behind feigned innocence. Lestrade looked only once at the younger man's stormy eyes that gleamed in satisfaction for the pain inflicted and anger that his territory had been encroached upon, a woman almost like a mother injured in his own home. Fear snaked its way down Gregory Lestrade's spine at Sherlock's unspoken message: Do not mess with what I consider mine. It would be unwise for one's health.

Lestrade would forever deny that he backed away from the dark detective that night but it didn't make it any less true. For a brief moment, he felt sympathy for the criminals brought to justice because of Sherlock. But only for a brief moment.

Sherlock was a dangerous man to trifle with and they would all do well to remember in the days to come.


Based on the scene from a Scandal in Belgravia. Sherlock can really be a dangerous guy and it did kind of look like Lestrade was backing away from him soooo viola this little tid bit was born. I don't own Sherlock or any of the actors though I do own the first season on DVD. School is in its last month so I should be able to update my other stuff soon. Thanks for sticking with me everyone and I hope you enjoy this short little piece!

Ja'ne!
