We've got a new case. – SH

Can it wait? I'm half-way through the grocery shopping. – JW

Time waits for no man, John. I'll meet you at Scotland Yard. – SH

Okay, I'm done. I'll get there as soon as I can, but I'm bringing the shopping with me. – JW


Sorry that I couldn't come straight to the crime scene with you; the ice cream would have melted. – JW

And you call me the housewife. – SH

I'm just putting everything away now; I'll grab a cab in a minute. – JW

Any ideas about the case? – JW

Ten, so far. – SH

Any witnesses? – JW

Supposedly, no. But, from the looks of things here, there were at least two. – SH

Okay, the groceries are all safe and sound. What's the address? – JW

43 Gower Street, it's an apartment complex. – SH

Don't text, I think I'm about to find our first witness. – SH


Where are you? – JW

Interviewing the witness, Lestrade finally found the other; come back to Scotland Yard. – SH

Oh, for fuck's sake, Sherlock. – JW


Well, that was informative. – SH

What? What happened? – JW

We've interrogated both witnesses, heading home now. – SH

Really? Well that's fucking great. I'll just get my cabbie to turn around. Again. – JW

The least you can do is give me the details. – JW

It was supposed to be a simple murder. The victim was a father of two, shot in the head twice. – SH

And the two witnesses? – JW

The youngest daughter and a family friend. – SH

Figured it out yet? – JW

Of course, I've just got to confirm a few things. – SH

So, who was it? – JW

The eldest daughter. – SH

How'd you come to that conclusion? Have you even spoken to the girl? – JW

No, still, it was simple enough. – SH

He was sexually abusing the girl. Recently he's been making rather vulgar advances towards the younger child; the elder killed him in order to defend her. It was really very predictable in the end. –SH

How did you get all that without even talking to her? – JW

I spoke to the younger sister and there were a few... telling diary entries. The best is yet to come though. – SH

What do you mean? – JW

They're checking the body over. – SH

And, if my assumptions are correct (which they will be), they will find his penis severed off. – SH

Ouch. – JW

It's really a classic move for a sexual abuse case. – SH

You should probably get round to talking to the older sister too. – JW

Nope. If all goes to plan, she should be out of the country right now. – SH

And what? You're just going to let her go? – JW

Why not? I think she deserves some peace; she's obviously been under a great deal of stress. – SH

That doesn't make what she did right! – JW

No, but I think she's suffered punishment enough. They'll never find her now, not without my help. – SH

I don't know whether to be angry or proud. – JW

Proud? – SH

Sympathy, Sherlock. I never thought you'd show it. – JW
