I hate myself for not updating every day like I want to. Sorry. I hate to keep people waiting, let alone almost 60 of you.


February 14

Are you free this evening? SH [sent at 15:23]

Um, yes? JW [sent at 15:24]

You say that like you're unsure. SH [sent at 15:24]

I thought we weren't doing anything for Valentine's Day. JW [sent at 15:25]

So not unsure, but a little confused. JW [sent at 15:25]

That is not an issue. I wasn't planning anything of the sort, unless you'd like to, of course. SH [sent at 15:25]

So why are you asking if I'm free? JW [sent at 15:26]

The case. The one with the missing ring finger victims. I want you to help me tonight. SH [sent at 15:26]

Where exactly are we going to work on this case? JW [sent at 15:26]

I thought we could go to the morgue to look at the victims again. SH [sent at 15:27]

Oh. What a lovely way to spend Valentine's, surrounded by dead bodies. JW [sent at 15:27]

Maybe not to you, but there will be hearts involved. SH [sent at 15:27]

Human hearts. It's not exactly the same. JW [sent at 15:28]

Did you want to do something different? SH [sent at 15:28]

No, no, I'm sorry. We'll go to the morgue. JW [sent at 15:28]

Wonderful. I'm heading out now, just get a cab and meet me there. SH [sent at 15:29]

Fine. JW [sent at 15:29]


I'm at the morgue, but you're not. JW [sent at 16:13]

Yes, that is an excellent observation, John. I am not, in fact, in the room with you. SH [sent at 16:13]

So where the hell are you? JW [sent at 16:13]

I'm a little held up at the moment. SH [sent at 16:14]

With what? JW [sent at 16:14]

Traffic. SH [sent at 16:15]

There wasn't any traffic when I was coming. JW [sent at 16:15]

Well, evidently, there is now. I'll be there as soon as I can. SH [sent at 16:15]

And what am I supposed to do until then? JW [sent at 16:15]

What you usually do at the morgue. Nothing. SH [sent at 16:15]

I help when we're here! JW [sent at 16:16]

Name one time. SH [sent at 16:16]

I don't know one off the top of my head. JW [sent at 16:16]

That would be because you almost never help. SH [sent at 16:16]

'Almost'? So I do to help! JW [sent at 16:16]

A very minimal amount. SH [sent at 16:17]

Shut up and get here already. JW [sent at 16:17]

I have no control over the traffic lights. SH [sent at 16:17]

I bloody well know that, just hurry, okay? JW [sent at 16:18]

Fine. Okay. SH [sent at 16:18]

Honestly, where are you? It's been over an hour since you said you'd be here. JW [sent at 16:43]

We never agreed on a time, technically. SH [sent at 16:43]

Where the hell are you. JW [sent at 16:44]

Walking in. SH [sent at 16:44]

It's about bloody time. JW


Aaand then they do morgue stuff that has nothing to do with texting. What a lovely Valentine's Day for John.

Review, please. (I beg of you)
