It's awful, I'm honestly sorry.
"Yes!"
Sherlock clapped his hands as he stood over the mutilated body crumpled on the floor.
John closed his eyes in second hand embarrassment. He swiped a hand over his throat, glaring at Sherlock, who didn't notice, grinning as he walked around the body.
Lestrade glanced sideways, biting his lip.
"What's so good about a dead body?" He said, sighing.
"Look!" Sherlock pointed excitedly at the body. It was a twenty something girl, no partners, not suicide, no known enemies. There had been no other murders that month, aside from a bar brawl that Sherlock hadn't even partaken in.
John bent down, trying not to breath in the dead person smell. He'd had enough of it, in Afghanistan. London was supposed to be safe, away from war, really loud noises and death.
There were figures carved into the flesh of the woman, slashed over by knife wounds.
"Komsric?" he made out and Sherlock sighed.
"Kensrick. As in Kensrick Place?"
Lestrade nodded along, pretending that he had already deciphered the bloody cuts.
"Well? C'mon!" And Sherlock swished out the room in a twirl of trench-coat fabric.
As he walked to the door, he gave Anderson the middle finger (They don't show you this stuff in the TV show.) leaving John to smile awkwardly as he followed after him.
The crime scene was on a busy road, although only a five minute walk to Kenrick Place.
Sherlock walked straight across the road, looking like a wraith, all dark hair, white face and whipping coat on the strong breeze.
"Sherlock?! It's dangerous! Why are we even-"
"Danger is my middle name, John." Oh God, too much shitty daytime cop channels.
"Sherlock. Your middle name is Sherlock." John said hopelessly as he chased after the taller man.
"Shut up John."
The case in itself was boring. It was the ex-boyfriend with a knife. Kensrick was him handing himself in but regretting it hence the bloody slashes obscuring it.
Sorry for the awful quality. Warming up after no writing for like four days. But hopefully lots tonight.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS YAY! Ya'll are getting a shit ton more chapters.
