Chapter Twelve
Dénouement, Again
It was another day before either of us were up to dealing with the real world. We were asleep for most of it. Well, I was asleep, Holmes was drugged out from the surgery on his leg. Same diff.
When the nurses lifted visiting restriction on Holmes, the rest of the Irregulars descended on the doorstep, bearing those staples of the teenage diet, fast food and caffeine. Rumors to the contrary, The food in St. Anne's Hospital really wasn't bad, (it had to be good if sick people were expected to eat it) but it wasn't French fries.
Inspector Hargrave wasn't far behind The Irregulars. Cliff Notes Version : We kicked ass. Every single member of the Tigers had been apprehended either at the warehouse or at the ship, except for the mysterious duo of Katrina and Joshua, who seemed to have vanished into the night. And with the exception of Agent Smith, they promptly spilled all that they knew in exchange for plea bargains.
"Mr. Smith is insisting he was betrayed by a pair who bear a remarkable similarity to you two. I convinced them that you were listening on the police scanner and came along with the squad cars." Hargrave smiled. "Your names won't be going on the case files, but congratulations, you've just solved your first case."
The band smothered their snickers. Hargrave didn't notice, as she had already left. I slipped out after the inspector while Kevin and James were joshing Holmes about his 'first case.'
"Thanks. For not throwing the book at us, I mean." Hargrave shrugged it off.
"Hey, you get away with it, and I get the credit." She glanced at the hospital room door. "I want you to watch out for him. He needs you, even if he won't admit it." I stared after her in shock after this confirmation of everything that I had hoped for. The roar of laughter reminded me of where I was. I headed back into the room.
"Ahem." I glared at Kevin, who quickly vacated my seat.
"Learn anything interesting?" Holmes asked me under the cover of another burst of laughter.
"Yeah, I think I did."
