ohmygosh Friday. how excited am I? hella

As I was writing this, I thought "They're gonna hate me, I'm giving them another meaningless chapter, gah, what am I doing with this" but then I thought of something and I went with it, and now it isn't completely meaningless. Something important may or may not happen.

Also, I know the description specifically says "texts", but I couldn't help myself. You'll see.

Nicotine patches. SH [sent at 10:32]

What about them? JW [sent at 10:33]

I need more. SH [sent at 10:33]

Why? JW [sent at 10:33]

You know why. Just get me some. SH [sent at 10:34]

Please. SH [sent at 10:34]

I wasn't going to, but then you said please. Fine. JW [sent at 10:35]

Thank you. SH [sent at 10:35]

John, a slight problem has arisen. SH [sent at 14:32]

How slight? JW [sent at 14:33]

There is a dead man on our door step. SH [sent at 14:34]

You didn't kill him, did you? JW [sent at 14:36]

Of course not, John. The doorbell rang, and neither you nor Mrs. Hudson were here to get it, so I went down myself, and when I opened it, he was here. SH [sent at 14:37]

You're sure he's dead? JW [sent at 14:37]

I know what a dead man looks like. SH [sent at 14:37]

Yes, he is dead. SH [sent at 14:40]

Don't touch him, then. Call Lestrade or something, I can't exactly help from the market. JW [sent at 14:41]

Lestrade is on his way. SH [sent at 14:45]

You're being calm about this. I would've expected you to call me, or say you were coming back. SH [sent at 14:45]

I've learned better. Much worse things happen in our flat than a mysterious dead man on our doorstep. JW [sent at 14:46]

Now that I say that, yes, this is very bad. I'll be right over. JW [sent at 14:47]

Don't rush, I still need my nicotine patches. SH [sent at 14:48]

But be quick all the same. SH [sent at 14:48]

It seems I was mistaken, John. You might have to come back. SH [sent at 21:23]

Don't talk to me, Sherlock. Lying about the existence of dead bodies on the doormat isn't nice. JW [sent at 21:25]

I wasn't lying, there was a body there. I left to get something from the flat, and when I came back down, the body was gone. I assumed it was just a sick joke, and someone took it back. SH [sent at 21:56]

And why are you telling me this? I'm the pub, I don't want to text you. JW [sent at 21:57]

I'm telling you this because I might be in a considerable amount of danger. SH [sent at 21:27]

What do you mean? JW [sent at 21:28]

That body wasn't...dead. SH [sent at 21:29]

[incoming call from: John Watson]

[call denied]

If you're not going to pick up, you'd better have a good explanation. JW [sent at 21:34]

Ever heard of Sebastian Moran, John? SH [sent at 21:35]

Should I have? Is he the dead body? JW [sent at 21:36]

I already said, he's not dead. But yes. He's in the flat, I can't call you, he'll hear. SH [sent at 21:38]

[incoming call from: John Watson]

[call accepted]

"John! I said I couldn't pick up!"

"Then why did you?"

"Shut up. Just get back here, I have honestly no idea what to do."

"That's new. You not having any ideas."

"..."

"Sherlock?"

"Shh!"

"...what is it?"

"Shh!"

"Sherlock!"

"Goddammit, John, shut up!"

"Who's Sebastian Moran? What's going on?"

"John, I-"

"Sherlock?"

[call disconnected]

*shrug*

It was getting boring. I promise it won't take long to solve this...issue. I haven't worked out the details, but I've figured out the gist of it.

I always love it when a review is left. (thank you, themagicianthatmagicsthings, you really like to review. I can tell)
