Thank you so much GUEST HERE for reviewing my post! The next two chapters are for you! :D
Sherlock tried to keep from breaking as the torture started up again. He gritted his teeth for the hundredth time that day. How long were they going to keep this up before they ran out of choices? It had been hours since he had any time to hear his own thoughts,
"Oh, do stop being so moody, Holmes." Watson yelled over at Sherlock from the other side of the room.
"Oh, leave him alone, Dr. Watson." Lestrade said in a humored voice. "After all, he is putting up with us this year."
Mycroft and Miss. Hudson both sniggered as Holmes shot them all an evil look.
Sherlock got up and opened the door. But before he left, he turned to face the 4 people in the room and said, "Let me see you put up with people singing Christmas carols all day for hours on end when you are trying to solve a murder case, and see if you still have the jolly holiday spirit left in you. Humbug to the lot of you."
