John and Sherlock's rules for operating on NSY property and crime scenes.
After a rather eventful case, Sherlock and John returned to 221B to find a sheet of paper resting on John's laptop. It seemed that the Lestrade had decided to take matters into his own hands in an attempt to preserve the dignity of the NSY.
John and Sherlock's rules for operating on NSY property and crime scenes.
Written by Greg Lestrade.
Seriously, you guys need to follow these. We don't need a repeat of this nightmare- I'm in trouble with the head of the department and Mycroft. Hard to figure out which is worse, really.
-You are never allowed to interrogate suspects EVER AGAIN.
-It is preferable that Sherlock remains his normal, abrasive self when interacting with others. Faking a charming personality in order to gain access to restricted information and evidence just confuses everybody.
-Should you two discover the existence of a secret betting pool designed to determine whether or not you're in a relationship, you're to report it directly to me. You are not to drop hints on both sides just to confuse everybody for your own amusement.
-You're also not allowed to place bets.
-John Watson is not allowed to use his "Military Voice" and a forged ID to gain permission to inspect all the weapons and ammunition in storage and remove several for "quality testing".
-I appreciate the fact that keeping Sherlock alive is a full-time job, but you need to fill out forms for that kind of thing.
-Sherlock is not allowed to hack the NSY computer system to show us its weak points. It does not have weak points. You "borrowed" a computer that someone forgot to log out of and shut down the system. Please don't do that again.
-Neither of you are allowed to "borrow" a squad car. Even though you did return it, a side mirror was missing and there were bullet holes in the trunk.
-Though the rest of the office may commend you for it, you are not allowed to destroy the uncompleted paperwork in an experiment meant to test the combustibility of paper when exposed to various chemicals.
-Is this how you deal with overdue bills?
-You are also not allowed to break into my office to steal and solve cold cases. I do appreciate the help, but the filing is a nightmare.
-If you are practicing in the shooting gallery, you are shooting at the target in front of you.
-NOWHERE ELSE. I mean it.
-This means you, John.
-Sherlock may know martial arts, but he does not need to demonstrate his comprehensive knowledge of martial arts by using Anderson as a dummy.
-And John may not demonstrate "a really neat trick an army pall taught me" if it's going to land Anderson in traction for a month. Again.
-On that note, John is no longer allowed to hide a sword in his cane.
-Even though Sherlock thinks it's cool.
-ESPECIALLY because Sherlock thinks it's cool.
-And for god's sake, QUIT ANNOYING THE CIA!
Hi! InkySpectacles here, and I've just uploaded the first two chapters of this fanfic. Before it's cut short, I've a question (and a shameless play for reviews.) Where else do you think John and Sherlock need rules for?
