FRIENDS
Holmes sits in the waiting room, while the doctors fuss over Watson inside. He can just make out his friends pale face and weak voice while he answers the doctor's questions.
And a thousand questions whirl around his head.
Why did he not tell me? Why?! I would have never brought him along if he had! I cannot afford to risk his life and health like this! Doesn't he understand?!
Later, the doctors tell him it is a simple case of overwork, the fever will go in a few days, that he has nothing to worry about.
But he does. He does more then they think.
He looks at Watson and asks the same question. He asks it angrily, furiously, asking why his dearest friend would risk his life like that.
Watson smiles and looks at him. His voice is soft and gentle.
"We are friends. Holmes. That's why."
I think there is all too much Watson torture gong on here(not that I mind really). Next chappie is going to be Holmes torture!
