As he came around he could feel soft, small hands smoothing his hair back soothingly, he was wreathed in a smell that was sweet and soft, unmistakably his Mrs. Hudson. He opened his mouth to say something but all he managed was a weak, "Mrs. Hud-urgh…"
He felt her stiffen for a moment surprised by the sound and he groaned again before she replied, "shhh, shhh, Mr. Holmes." She whispered while still smoothing his hair back in the most soothing fashion, "someone has attacked the Doctor and Mr. Lestrade, there were too many of them for just me."
Finally managing a coherent sentence he spoke, "This sounds like quite a mess… doesn't it Mrs. Hudson." This was punctuated by a gasp of pain that had Mrs. Hudson scrambling for John's discarded medical bag.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Mr. Holmes where have I hurt you?" already pulling out bandages from the brown leather bag that had dumped on its side during the scuffle.
"Don't worry Mrs. Hudson you're quite wonderful," she sighed and put everything back into the bag realizing there was nothing she could do until they got back to Baker Street where she could actually see.
"Do you think you can walk Mr. Holmes?" she asked rather cautiously.
'''I think so, but I can't see where I'm going." the response was so weak she doubted the man could sit up on his own, let alone walk.
She sighed at his stubbornness, "That's alright we just have to get to a cab." She reassured him, even though she doubted she could get him there without help.
"And leave behind Watson!" his face went even paler if it was at all possible at the thought of leaving behind one of the very few people he trusted and cared for in this dank, dark, stinking hole of a warehouse on the docks.
"Mr. Holmes, when I dragged you back here you passed out we've been here nearly two hours. But there's someone lurking and I think-gahhh! "the end of the sentence was punctuated by a high pitched mix between a yelp and a scream as the lurker apparently found Mrs. Hudson.
Oh im sorry, i couldnt resist. I think its about time Mrs. Hudson got some reginiton, lets give it up for HUDSON YEAH!
