Stupid Law 21
A/N: I know that it has been a ridiculously long time since I updated but I had lots of stuff on… Hope this one lives up to the expectations of you all
John was not happy at all. Sherlock had once again collaborated with Mycroft to have him arrested for something utterly ridiculous. His revenge would come when Sherlock was least expecting it and it would be one of the most ridiculous and stupid laws yet. Now all he had to do was find that said law. Sherlock was out for a case which gave John his opportunity to search for the perfect law. It didn't take him long to find one suitable for Sherlock and now all he had to do was wait for the right moment.
John had quite a while to wait in fact and Sherlock was convinced he had won the battle. He made many remarks to that effect while John sat in silence accepting the various outbursts.
"Well John it would appear that my superior mind has at last outwitted your idiot brain". John simply nodded and got on with his work.
"Oh by the way you are coming to Sweden with me tomorrow for a case" Sherlock added.
"Says who Sherlock? Maybe I'm too stupid for you to need my help on this case" replied John knowing inside that his opportunity had just arisen.
"Come now John, someone needs to look after the snivelling widow before we can get her to confess", came Sherlock's voice from his bedroom.
"Whatever Sherlock I'm not in the mood to argue" said John, acting as annoyed as possible while secretly loving every minute of it.
The next day found the men in a house on the outskirts of a small village in the middle of nowhere. The house was cold and John was working on his plan.
"Sherlock how can we make this good for nothing house warmer? Surely your scientific mind can come up with something…" asked John in a mocking manner.
"You clearly don't have faith in my abilities then" replied Sherlock somewhat taken aback at John's rather unusual manner.
"Well no, if I'm honest I don't think you can make this house any warmer by the time I get back from the shops. I'll give you an hour." With this John left. He had deliberately left the paint in Sherlock's line of sight and knew that he would not be able to resist the experiment that was staring him in the face.
John did not go to the shops but the local police station and informed them that there was a man painting a house without a valid permit and no permission from the government. When the police heard this they jumped into action (nothing interesting ever really happened here). As they followed John to the house, John was desperately hoping Sherlock had taken the bait, otherwise he would look like a total idiot in front of the police and he would probably end up getting arrested for wasting their time.
As they rounded the corner, however, to John's delight, there was Sherlock paintbrush in hand covering the front of the house in paint. At this point John headed back to the town while the police dealt with a rather confused looking Sherlock.
"Name please sir" one of them demanded.
"Sherlock Holmes…is there a problem officer"
"Yes in fact there is Sir would you mind showing us your painting permit"
"Painting permit?" Sherlock asked getting slightly agitated with the interruption of his experiment.
"You don't have one then…" Sherlock shook his head incredulous at what was happening.
"I am placing you under arrest then Mr. Holmes for painting a house without a valid permit from the government. You will be taken to the station to be processed and further action may be taken." Sherlock was led away silently to the station still slightly unsure of what was happening. Things all became clear, however, when he was handed a note which was in John's handwriting. It read:
Sorry to upset you Sherlock but the game is still very much on!
As John waited to bail Sherlock he heard a certain detective shouting all sorts of profanities from his cell. Revenge complete, now let's see what he has to offer, thought John. This was going to be interesting for sure…
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know whether I'm still able to make you laugh. It will surely be the end if I cannot! Until next time…
