Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in SH22 though I wished I did. Enjoy the story. Reviews are a must. Even if I get one or two I will continue on with the story.
Only a few more days left to Christmas yet Lestrade is still doing her paper work and catching criminals. She was busy when Holmes came through the door. Lestrade was so indulged in her work she didn't even realize that Holmes has entered her office.
"Ahem," Holmes faked a cough to catch her attention. With little surprise, it worked.
Lestrade jerked her head in surprise.
"Oh. Holmes. I didn't realize that you came in," blurted the Inspector "So, what's up?"
"My dear Inspector Lestrade. Christmas is only a few days away but yet you still sit here in your office doing paper work." Said Holmes in one breath.
"Holmes, my job here is not done yet. There is still more to – HEY! Why did you switch off my comp!"
"I went to see Greyson earlier on. I asked him to give you two weeks worth of holiday," Holmes stressed on those few last words.
Lestrade was loss for words. All she could do was stare at him in shock, mouth gaping out wide with a finger pointing at him. Holmes gave her a bemused smile and told her to get out of her zedding chair and go home to rest. Tomorrow, they are going Christmas shopping with Watson. She did just that but her finger was still pointing at Holmes until they were both out of the office.
