The Wedding
Chapter One
"Molly! I need you!" Sherlock Holmes announced importantly as he swept into the morgue followed closely by his friend, John Watson.
"That's nice," Molly smiled as she finished the last few stitches in the body of William Locke. "What body part do you want?" She asked.
"I don't need body parts Molly, I need you. Will you marry me?"
"What?" Molly gasped and dropped her tray of tools she was carrying. They clattered to the floor, a scalpel narrowly missing her foot. Molly quickly knelt to pick up the fallen instruments. Her face flushed, she rapidly reviewed what Sherlock had just said. Inner Molly jumped up and down and began to shake pom-poms in a victory cheer. Fortunately, rational Molly took control as she peeped up at the consulting genius. Sherlock was staring intently, obviously waiting for her answer. Molly looked over at John who was wiping his hand down his face.
"Sherlock!" John groaned.
Sherlock glanced over at his blogger.
"Not good?" he asked.
John just shook his head. Sherlock looked back at Molly who was still frozen in place, her hand hovering over two forceps and a scalpel.
Sherlock frowned. "Oh," he said, "it's for a case"
"Okay," Molly replied, she was a little disappointed.
"Excellent!" Sherlock grinned. Turning to leave he remarked casually, "Molly you are the best!"
