Enjoy!
There is a body on the floor.
She is clad in pink; sprawled face down.
I glance at Sherlock. The consulting detective is in his element—he turns down the woman's collar, inspects her wedding band, stares at a crude scratching in the floor: Rache.
Anderson speaks from the doorway. "The German word for revenge is 'rache.' She could be trying to tell us—"
"Yes, thank you for your input," says Sherlock, promptly slamming the door in Anderson's face.
Lestrade glances furtively at Sherlock. I notice he doesn't visibly object.
I grin, look away. We all know Anderson's dense. Sherlock Holmes is the only one who's comfortable making that fact obvious.
Already, he's back to speculating.
I take that back—
Sherlock does not speculate…
He uncovers.
Please review and tell me what you think!
