Stupid Law 27
After the incident in Oklahoma Sherlock and John presence had been requested in Canada. The case was of some interest and John would later inform his readers on his blog of the events which had begun in Ontario and ended in a small town called Prince Rupert. What the blog failed to mention was the shameful and embarrassing incident which left the master detective once again behind bars thanks to the antics of the good doctor.
John had waited far too long for revenge on Sherlock for the rug beating kerfuffle and now was his opportunity. While Sherlock was obsessing over the case John did his research and came up with a plan that would leave his friend completely dumbstruck and a loss for words. It happened that on the third day of the case the perfect opportunity arose for John. Sherlock came bounding in to their hotel room in a state of excitement.
"John I think the case has taken a turn in our favour! I just need one last piece of equipment in order to complete my experiment!" he said almost in one breath. John laughed at the sight of his friend. His hair was tossed and his clothes were ripped in several places. He put his coffee down on the table and flung his newspaper dramatically on his bed.
"And pray what could the great Sherlock Holmes need in such urgency that a humble army doctor could provide!" replied John feeling rather mischievous. The answer Sherlock gave caused John to laugh harder.
"I need change for a bar of Hershey's John it could blow the whole case right open!" he said with complete honesty and a serious face.
"Okay Sherlock I think I have some change." John then proceeded to count out 50c in single pennies for Sherlock and handed it to the detective. Sherlock looked less than happy but held his hands out anyway. He left the room just as swiftly as he had entered. Two minutes later the local sergeant had been called and relished the chance to get Sherlock for being an annoying and sociopathic investigator.
Sherlock walked along the river to the nearest shop. One bar of chocolate and the case would be solved. It still amazed him how people could be so stupid. If you were going to commit a crime at least make it complicated to solve. He reached for the bar and was just handing over John's pile of pennies when he saw the flashing blue lights out the window. When he turned back his hand had been handcuffed to the cash register. The clerk had been called by the police just before Sherlock had entered. He was only too happy to provide the service.
"What on earth have I done this time and where the hell is John Watson I am going to kill him!" he roared before going silent as the sergeant arrived.
"Now now.. Mr Holmes we wouldn't want to have you in any more trouble before you leave…" he said trying to keep his face straight but failing dismally. He unlocked the cuffs and dragged Sherlock to the police car before reading him his rights.
"Sherlock Holmes I am placing you under arrest for trying to pay for a 50c item using only pennies which by law is illegal in Canada. You have the right to remain silent… Sherlock wasn't really listening and instead was staring at a smiling John Watson intently. Sherlock was furious as it halted his investigation which would now have to wait. John from across the road could sense Sherlock was not happy. He greatly regretted the timing of his actions but still it was funny. He knew he was in for it when they got home so he was just going to savour this moment while it lasted.
When Sherlock was released he solved the case within two hours and the boys returned home. The flight was silent. John figured Sherlock was still upset at his antics. Little he knew that the cogs were already turning in Sherlock's mind and it wouldn't be long until he struck again.
