Stupid Law 36
Mary was furious with the boys after their antics on their previous outing together and knew that it would take careful planning to get them back for it. Their guards would be up and they would have their research done. She decided to call in on Lestrade to help her out.
"I need your help with a little surprise Greg...the boys have had their fun now its my turn!" she began entering the Yard.
"Oh I was hoping you'd come I have the perfect law..." smiled Lestrade reaching for a file marked 'Baker St'. He pointed to one and Mary nodded, pleased she had come.
"Just promise me one thing Mrs Watson...the team would love to see it!"
"Don't worry Greg it'll all be recorded for future humiliation and extortion..." replied Mary asshe left the office. This was good...like really really good. Greg had been holding this one back for a while. All she needed now was an opportunity to arise. It didn't take that long as Sherlock received a visitor that day.
Lestrade landed at Baker St. with a case Sherlock couldn't refuse. As he entered he grinned at Mary and shechuckledquietly to herself. Lestrade had sorted everything. He was gonna be kept on side for a long time to come!
"Sherlock we have something right up your street" he began. "Came in yesterday from a collegue over in Ohio. He's puzzled and requested our assistance butto be honest we're too busy at the minute catching the ones you leave behind"
"Ah Lestrade you suprise me again. This case actually seems like something" Sherlock stated sounding rather excited,something Lestrade found slightly disconcerting. He left the flat forty minutes later having given the three of them a detailed overview of the case.
Later that week they found themselves in McDonald Ohio where they tackled a rather interesting case of mistaken identity and a bank heist gone wrong. Mary was sure it would make it on John's blog eventually but she wanted to finish off the case in style. The morning before they were due to leave she organised for herself the boys to visit a local animal sanctuary,claiming it to be high on her list of charitable organisations. Neither the doctor nor the detective seemed suspicious and indulged her in her visit. By the end of the tour the boys seemed to be enjoying themselves and when offered the chance to take the ducks for a walk they accepted.
Mary was beginnig to see a total diffrerent side to the detective and she liked it. Having informed the guide of her plan and knowing she had actually been following Sherlock's antics online they made sure they walked a certain direction. Ohio Avenue was not the usual route for the walk (mainly because the walk didn't exist...) but ten minutes the boysfound themselves walking down it with the ducks beside them. They didn't seem to notice thereactions the were getting from on lookers and only noticed the uniforms as they reached the end of the street.
"Lovely day for it boys" said one of the officers nudging his collegue.
"Yeah it is Jones...love it when people parade their ducks on the Avenue!" responded the other.
"Looks like the cells will be full tonight after all!"
At precisely the same time John and Sherlock knew what had happened and turned to Mary and the guide who were bent double laughing. Mary held her phone in one hand while wiping away tears with the other. Sherlock realised he would never live this one down and that John would play less of a part in the humiliation that would come later.
Neither of them had seen it coming because it was just so odd andas the were led to the local station they just had to give credit to Mary and whoever else was involvedbecause this was one of the worst humiliations so far...
A/N: I have never been to McDonald but this law is super random! Let me know if it's really true...Until the next time enjoy!
