Title: Bait
Challenge: July 2 – Rain, Lamp-post, Handkerchief, Flowers
A/N: dark. Also AU and character!death.
In the end, it was almost too easy. The Professor wouldn't have approved. It was too blunt and too straight-forward. But perhaps that's why it worked.
Just wait under a lamp-post or loiter near a newsstand until the doctor passed by. Follow him to the graveyard. Watch him pay his respects to the late missus, maybe with a bouquet of flowers, or maybe let him go so far as to pull out a handkerchief that he would never use . Aim, shoot, let the rain fall.
If Sherlock Holmes didn't make an appearance at the funeral, then he really was dead.
