Greg didn't know what to expect. He only wished for a peaceful evening with his family with no cases, no paper work, no murder and no crazy consulting detective to worry about. Even the day at the Yard had been remarkably peaceful with only some paper work left from the other cases which was solved quickly thanks to said detective. His wife, who was nurse in a nearby pharmacy, had taken her day off and both of them planned a cuddly evening, with their kids and perhaps, a movie. Their kids were exceptionally excited because they rarely had evening in which everyone was present.
Lestrade did not expect a knife impaled man knocking on their door to interrupt the (now dead) peaceful evening.
Or that the man would be a familiar face.
Mykala and Alfred Lestrade were gathering up supplies needed for the movie while Mrs. Lestrade was making popcorn. Greg decided that he himself would do the honor of selecting a movie from the DVD stand. Reminded him that the evening should be filled with laughter and coziness, he picked up a comedy movie and was sure that the kids would enjoy it.
He entered the DVD and his children had brought a comfy looking blanket, his wife brought the popcorn all hot and fresh out from the oven. They settled down and he was in the act of playing the DVD, the doorbell rang.
His wife had a frown on her face and was certainly annoyed at the rude disturbance. She got up from the floor and got up from the floor but Greg decided to stop her.
"No love, let me open the door" Lestrade said.
His wife nodded and sat down and Greg made his way to the door. He let out a frustrated sigh and opened the door hoping it won't take a long time.
And he was completely wrong.
The sight that met with his eyes was least expected. Standing before him was the figure of John Watson. But what was more frightful was the stab wound in his lower abdomen. His face was turned into a frown with pain and it was a surprise he hadn't already passes out.
"Greg… Sh'lk …..attack…." was the only thing that got out of his mouth before he passed out cold into Greg's arms.
Sorry! I know it is superb short but it is only the prologue. I promise the later chapters will be longer!
