"David!" Basil gasped, causing John to look over and start at the boy.
"Sherlock, who is that?"
"John this is my younger brother, Sherninfford , but he prefers Basil." John held out his hand, and Basil accepted, giving it a warm shake.
"Nice to meet you."
"Same." With that, John turned back to David. That night, a small brown mouse scurried across the floor. If John saw him, he would have went into cardiac shock, the mouse was dress like Basil. Soon Basil climbed into the box holding his friend.
"David?" He asked, gently taking a bandaged paw in his own. "Can, can you hear me?" David stirred at his friend's voice.
"Ba- Basil?" he rasped, then began to cough.
"Hush, David, don't talk just rest." Basil wished he had something he could use to give his friend some water. David nodded, then quietly fell to sleep.
In the morning Basil was awakened to John screaming "SHERLOCK!"
Uh oh, now they are in trouble.
