Chapter 12 – Umbrella

In the day to day bureaucratic mundanity one often forgot that both the boss and his P.A. were ex-field agents. Well, forgot until they came boiling out of the inner sanctum with crisp concise orders phrased as requests moving in concert like a pair of hunting animals suddenly let off the leash. Only after they were gone did Rudolph Vickers realize just how serious the situation was: Mycroft Holmes had left behind his umbrella.


Author's Note: Another 3-sentence fiction. For those of you keeping track of the minor OCs Mr. Vickers was mentioned in Conversations from Q Branch, Chapter 25 when Mycroft flushed out a mole in his office. The original prompt was: "For the Want of a Brolly. Specifically, a lost umbrella."
