4 days ago...
John Watson and Mary Morstan were watching one Sherlock Holmes and one Irene Adler play chess.
"He's...acting...human..."
"Forget him,shes acting human!"
"I take it thats rare?"
"Hell yes!"
"Wait,what does he mean,a hour and a half?"
"Don't ask me,thats when I got-"John blinked."Home. So that's why he was smiling."
They all looked back at the room, where Sherlock had settled in and was setting up the board. He held up to bags,one with white pieces,the other with black.
"Which side?"
"Do I really need to answer that?"
"Very well,your majesty."Irene caught the the baggy with the black pieces in it.
"Thank you,Sir Holmes."She opened it and started setting up her side.
Watson put two and two together."Black queen and White knight..."
"What?"
"She's the black queen,he's the white knight!"
They went back to watching. When the call for bets went up, the two looked at each other, placing a silent 5 pound bet on their friend.
A hour and a half later, Irene rolled her eyes and picked up her queen.
"Its not how many you have,-"She took one knight."-what you-"She took the second knight."-do with them.""She took his king."Checkmate."
Mary, with a half smile, held open a palm,which was ready for the fiver that was deposited in it.
So yeah,I left them behind in Chapter 3,so I thought I'd go back for them.
R&R!
