Sherlock Holmes stood on the second highest cliff of the incredibly tall mountain strongly stunned as Watson ran to him.
"Holmes! Did you see what I saw? A man who appeared to be made out of rubber threw someone who looked like that man you told me about off of the mountain, and into the falls!"
Holmes did not speak, but instead took on a state of brooding, while Watson looked like he was getting ready to have a heart attack from his being intensely excited.
"Holmes, did you hear me?"
"Yes I did Watson, yes I did. Did that "man made out of rubber" perhaps look quite familiar to you?"
"Well, I honestly could not make out his face Holmes. Who did he look like to you?"
"Watson, would you believe it if I told you I think I recognized that "rubber man" as the kind gentleman we talked to approximately three weeks ago, Dr. Richards?"
"Oh yes, the one with the simply adorable daughter."
Suddenly, the two men stopped, realizing what they had just said.
"Perhaps, I should take heed of your warnings about my using cocaine and morphine Watson." Holmes piped up.
"Keep in mind Holmes, I also witnessed what you saw. Maybe it is some of those chemicals you have been working with. I have read in medical journals how some chemists come down with particular, and not to mention peculiar diseases because of fumes and vapors from the chemicals they work with." Countered Watson.
"Hmmm... That is right, you did see that man too. Which leads me to ask of you Watson to come out with your secret."
"Holmes! What secret?! You are not necessarily inferring that I have been sneaking into your desk, and taking cocaine or morphine when you are not around!"
"Well, I would like to tell you Watson that there is no other answer. The chemicals I have been doing my chemistry studies with are not known to produce any hallucinogenic effects. I should know, I always make sure the chemicals I use will not be harmful towards me, but also will not harm you or Mrs. Hudson."
"For your information Holmes, I would NEVER pollute my healthy self with that seven-percent-solution you are always taking. And NOW, you dare say that I take it without your permission nor your presence."
From there on, the two men quibbled because of the very sight they beheld of Reed doing what he felt was a service, but instead was a disservice that would lead to a break-up of Holmes and Watson's partnership.
