Yes, tis I! Back from a short writer's block! (you probably didn't even notice I was gone)
This update is going up around 9 (Pacific time), so yeah, its kinda late.
Happy Valentine's Day, you guys. I will be spending this marvelous day on an eight hour rode trip with my family. Whoa, cool. (We're gonna listen to the Harry Potter audio books on the way, so its all good.)
February 11
Are we supposed to do something for Valentine's Day? SH [sent at 3:58]
I'm not going to mention that is 4 in the bloody morning, and that I have work in a few hours. JW [sent at 3:59]
We don't have to do anything special. JW [sent at 3:59]
But we're a couple. I thought that's what couples do. SH [sent at 3:59]
Yes, sometimes. But we don't have to. JW [sent at 4:00]
Alright. Good. I wasn't looking forward to doing something. SH [sent at 4:00]
That's what I want to hear. JW [sent at 4:01]
Sarcasm, if you didn't pick up on it, Sherlock. JW [sent at 4:01]
I was aware. SH [sent at 4:02]
John. SH [sent at 11:34]
John. SH [sent at 11:34]
John. SH [sent at 11:34]
You could give me a little bloody time to type out an answer, you know. JW [sent at 11:35]
I know. SH [sent at 11:35]
Are you at work? SH [sent at 11:35]
I should stop expecting you to notice that I leave in the morning. JW [sent at 11:36]
Well, yes, that as well, but I wasn't at the flat this morning. SH [sent at 11:36]
You weren't? JW [sent at 11:37]
I wasn't. Lestrade texted me. Four different people, men and women, were all found dead from large blows to the head (most likely a shovel or large hammer) on the street in different parts of London with their left ring fingers cut off. I was wondering if you wanted to come and help. SH [sent at 11:38]
Of course. JW [sent at 11:39]
Were they married? Maybe their spouses killed them, then removed the rings by cutting off the finger. JW [sent at 11:38]
That's what I thought, at first. But then we would be talking about several different murderers, all just so happening to do the same thing within the same two nights. And one of the victims was only fifteen. SH [sent at 11:39]
Who was the first one to be found? JW [sent at 11:39]
A so far nameless woman. She was obviously a Londoner, had ridiculously long red hair, and a Deathly Hallows sign from Harry Potter tattoo on her ankle. Found across London from us. SH [sent at 11:40]
Interesting. I work with a woman with that description. She always wears far too much makeup. But she's perfectly alive with all ten fingers. JW [sent at 11:40]
And the tattoo? SH [sent at 11:40]
It's hard to miss the tattoo. JW [sent at 11:41]
Interesting. SH [sent at 11:42]
I'll let you get back to work now. SH [sent at 11:42]
Thank you. JW [sent at 11:42]
But one last thing. What's that woman's name? SH [sent at 11:43]
She's the receptionist. Her name's Christy, and I have no idea what her last name is. I think it starts with a W. JW [sent at 11:44]
That'll do. Thank you. SH [sent at 11:44]
Have fun. JW [sent at 11:44]
Of course I'll enjoy myself. SH [sent at 11:35]
Murders are always fun, John. SH [sent at 11:45]
It's not ideal, but it's something.
You can review if you want, it always makes me happy (please review it's what I live off of)
