Author's note: This is to fill a prompt from johnsarmylady (go check her stories, they're great !) Thank you so much MapleleafCameo, for being my beta and encouraging me to finish that story. (Go read her stories too, they're brilliant !)
Also, thank you to Ariane Devere on livejournal (the link wouldn't work, sorry, but you can google it) for providing transcripts of the episodes.
Disclaimer: I don't own "Sherlock", everything belongs to the BBC, Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat and Arthur Conan Doyle.
John :
Unbelievable. One minute we're having an awkward conversation about boyfriends and girlfriends, and the next he's babbling about a taxi and takes off. Better follow him.
Watch out ! "Sorry !"
We need the license plate : Oscar Victor Oscar 4 Papa Yankee Golf.
"I've got the cab number !" That should help.
"Good for you."
What's he doing, just standing there, mumbling ? Need to do something !
Off he goes again...
Careful, that man... "Sorry !" I haven't run like that in ages ! He's bloody fast...
How many stairs can there be ?!
"Come on John !"
What ? You've got to be kidding me... That's way too far to jump.
"Come on John we're losing him !"
Alright ! Don't think, just do.
Whooo ! I actually made it ! This is crazy !
Faster now, come on !
Ooooh ! That's the cab ! Speeding away from us...
"This way !"
Does he actually think he can catch a speeding car ?!
"No, this way !"
"Sorry !" Right, faster, come on !
It's the cab ! Yes ! Ow, that's gotta hurt...
"Police ! Open her up !"
Breathe... In... and out...
"No... Teeth, tan. What, Californian ? LA, Santa Monica. Just arrived."
What ?!
"How can you possibly know that ?"
"The luggage ! Probably your first trip to London, right ? Going by your final destination, the route your cabbie was taking you... "
That guy's looking pretty confused...
"Sorry... Are you guys the police ?"
"Yeah. Everything alright ?"
Where did he get that ID ?!
"Yeah."
"Welcome to London."
Gotta say something...
"Ah... Any problems, just let us know."
There.
Now, that was completely ridiculous. Haven't had this much fun in ages, though !
