Hey guys i'm back with another chapter of 'Am i in the great mouse detective?' I'm sorry for the long wait but my brother got a stomach virus, My mom's birthday was coming up, And i had a little baby nephew! I'm so happy about having a nephew but anyway enough my my drama. Let get on with the show.
I was in basil's arms as he David, And Toby went as fast as they could to baker street. As we arrived basil was rushing me inside and rushed up twords a room. I think it was his room. It was incredibly messy. 'And i thought my room was terrible i thought. There were clothes everywhere, Different beakers and there was trash all over the place.
Basil set me down on the bed and i tried to sit up but he pushed me back down. "Dont move you'll make your injuries worse." he said and he rushed to his closet and found what looked like a first aid kit.
"Take your shirt off." he said to me. I glared at him just for this and my face turned red. "For your injuries." he said with annoyance. i sighed and said "Alright." i took my shirt off and basil blushed at my body. There were scars and bruises all over me. Basil shook his head and rubbed alcohol all over my body.
I winced in pain and said "Thank you basil". He raised an eyebrow and said "For what?" "For my injuries dumbass." i lightly smiled at him. He rolled his eyes but i could have sworn there was a tiny smile on his face.
"You're welcome Elizabeth." I giggled at him and lighlty snorted. "And what pray tell is so funny?" he asked. "You didn't call me by my last name." He gasped and his face turned pale. "i like it better that way." I said. I cupped his cheek and i smiled at him. 'Oh my god. his fur is so soft!' i thought.
Basil blushed deeply at this and i felt him push his face against my cheek. we looked into each others eyes and our faces were getting closer and closer until... "Basil is everything al-" Dawsons voice was heard and we looked at him and i still relized i didnt have my shirt on and i quickly put it back and and i fixed it.
"Well basil should we go down stairs?" i asked. "Yes Ms. Elizabeth." Basil said and i quickly went down stairs and i sat in basil's chair by the fire. Basil cleared his throat and grabbed is magnifying glass. This was always one of my favorite parts of the movie. "What is it basil?" i asked with curiousity.
"Offhand i can deduce very little." "Only that the words have written with a broad pointed quill pen which has spattered twice." Basil then held the paper with his hand spread out. "That the paper is off Native mangolian manufacture no water mark". Then he put the paper in his lips smacking it a couple times.
"And has been gummed if i'm not very much error." Then he sniffed it then held it away from him in disgust." "By a bat who was been drinking rodent's delight!" Then he held it in front of me and david's Faces. "A cheap brandy sold only in the seediest pubs." "Wow!" i gasped. David hummed in agreement "Amazing."
I think i saw basil blush when i said 'Wow' but i just ignored it. "Not really my dear we still don't know where it came from!""Perhaps a closer inspection will tell us something." He looked through a microscope and hummed. "Mmhmm. Coal dust clearly of the type used in sewer lamps."
Basil walked away and david tried to look throught the microscope but basil grabbed it. Basil put the paper above the bunsen burner and it was reduced to ashes. 'But basil". david said but was cut off by basil shushing him. "Shhh don't speak." Then Basil grabbed a wooden masher and mashed the ashes and poured it into a beaker of blue liquid.
i tried to look at it but basil pushed me for the hundereth time but this time he apologized. "Excuse me dear." he grabbed a beaker of red liquid and said "Steady hand." he dropped a small drop of the red liquid into the blue liquid and he went twords an wierd looking beaker with green liquid and heated up. "Yes yes good good come along come on come on come on come on." "yes yes good godd no bad no good good come come on come on come on come on yes yes yes!"
Then a small drop of green liquid fell into it making it bubble. "Aha"! he smiled with happiness and he wrapped his arm around david and he kissed my cheek out of happiness. "We have done it my friends!" "This reaction could only have been triggered with the papers extreme saturation with distillation of sodium chloride."
I rubbed my cheek that basil kissed and i lighlty smiled and blushed so red it would put a cherry to shame. "Salt water great scott." David said. "It proves beyond a doubt this list came from the riverfront area". "Now now steady on there basil." David started. "No no elementary my dear dawson we merely look for a seedy pub at the only spot where the sewer connects to the water front."
I smiled at him and i was super excited i was going to the rat trap! i thought basil was pretty hot in his sailor disguise and i thought david looked super cute in his. this is getting a little weird but i love it!
