Words Will Burn

by Lemon Zinger

Title taken from another of my stories, but this is a completely separate series of 100-word drabbles. Obviously centering around Watson and Holmes, who are fighting. Again. Only this time it might be enough to ruin their friendship. I haven't decided.

10. Chapter 10

Holmes awoke to Mrs. Hudson shaking him roughly. "Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes!" She cried. When he opened his eyes she stuck a telegram in his face.

COME AT ONCE STOP DOCTOR WATSON INJURED STOP LESTRADE FINAL STOP

It took a record time for Holmes to be dressed and in a cab on his way to Watson's house, promising the cabbie double the amount to be there in less than five minutes.

He wished it wasn't his fault, but something told him it was. He only hoped his friend would be able to forgive him. Otherwise he might never forgive himself.
