Chapter Two.

-WHAT?

~John we need to talk. -SH

-WHAT?

~John I understand your response, just let me explain. -SH

-WHAT?

~John are you quite alright? Have you gone into shock? The shock blanket from our first case together is on top of my wardrobe. -SH

-SHERLOCK HOLMES

~Yes? -SH

-SHERLOCK HOLMES?

~Oh god, you're broken. Please stop being broken. -SH

-Where are you?

~I can't tell you -SH

~I'm so sorry. -SH

~I'll be home soon? -SH

-You better be.

-How soon?

~Tomorrow? -SH

-Not soon enough.

~Sorry.

~For everything. -SH

-We'll see.

~John, we do need to talk. -SH

-You need to come home. Then we'll talk.

~I'm trying. -SH

-Try harder.

~Don't you want to know how I did it?

-Do I want to know how the one thing, one person who saved me from the darkest time of my life, made my life worth while, and gave me a reason to wake up in the morning – even if I hadn't slept because of their violin playing – confessed to me that they were a fake, tried to convince me that our entire time together was a lie, and then fell to their death in front of my eyes; managed to pull all of it off?

-No.

~John I really am sorry. -SH

-Why did you do it?

~It's a long story. -SH

-Bring milk. X
