"It was clearly an accidental death." Lestrade argued, seeming calm even if Holmes was intent on keeping this case open.

I was mostly ignoring the excitement of the two detectives that sat across from each other, glaring in the midst of a typical debate. I was used to it by now, even if their excitement over their battle of wits distracted me from the article I was reading.

"Oh Lestrade you sound like you cobbled that explanation together in lieu of actually doing your work!" Holmes said with a laugh.

Lestrade glared at Holmes. "You are enough to bring my saintly grandmother to swearing Holmes." He growled.

I laughed at the pair of them, though I didn't look over.

"Having to put up with your laziness Lestrade was her undoing." Holmes growled.

Their barbs were friendly, which was something of a relief to me. "You both are forgetting something." I called over, fixing them both with a smirk.

"And pray tell doctor, what is that?" Holmes asked as they gave me curious looks.

"I have to put up with both of you, and you are enough to dive me into a pool full of sharks to escape."
