Prompt: Holmes is dragged to a party

"Watson?"
"What is it Holmes?"
"Can't we go home?"
"For heaven's sake, Holmes no! We are here to enjoy ourselves!"
"You are- you just wanted to torture me."
"Shush!" I hiss, just as Inspector Lestrade came over to talk to us.
"We're glad you could make it Mr Holmes, Doctor Watson." He beamed.
"We're glad to be here." I reply, trying to keep my temper.
"So Mr Holmes, did you bring your violin?"
My friend winced.
"No..."
"Holmes! I told you to bring it!"
"You did not!"
"Enough! Now we'll have to find another violinist." Lestrade muttered.
"Unless I can go home and get own violin?" Holmes offered sweetly.
"Nice try, but Mrs Hudson wouldn't help you out of that one." I reply.
Never mind. I know someone else who can do it. But let's just enjoy ourselves at the moment. I'll let Gregson know about this.
"Fair enough." I reply.
But when I turn around, I saw that my friend was gone.

"Holmes!"
