Peals of laughter reverberated through the sitting room, much to Holmes's annoyance. They succumbed to soft chuckles after a little while but started up again exactly two minutes and ten seconds later. This cycle repeated itself twice before Holmes lost his patience entirely.

"Watson! What the devil is so funny?"

Guiltily Watson removed his headphones, clicked once, and slammed the laptop closed. "Nothing, nothing at all, Holmes, really. Sorry, I'll just take this upstai –"

Holmes pulled the laptop away; it was simplicity itself to search through the website histories to find the correct address. Grimly he watched the video, tensing as the seconds ticked closer to 2:10. He blinked. Then he turned to his friend with a look that was darker than fresh pitch.

Watson snickered unapologetically and reclaimed his property. "I must admit, I have been tempted on occasion. I think I'm going to like this Jude fellow."
