Stupid Law 29
A/N: I'm sorry for not updating…serious case of writer's block…on with the plot!
John had never been more embarrassed than he had been in Oregon and now it was time to get Sherlock once again. Surely there was something he could do to the great detective before they flew home to London…
His opportunity presented itself nicely as Sherlock demanded they go once again to Canada to visit a crime scene which he had taken a liking to in a national paper. Sherlock seemed more excited than normal with this case and so John couldn't refuse his friend. There was no hint of revenge in Sherlock's mind; the game had been put on hold. John felt he should give Sherlock the break as he worked out his own tactics.
The case turned out to be very interesting and even John forgot the game until they were handcuffing the suspect after a week of pursuit. It was then that John remembered a law that he had read on the previous day. A plan began to formulate in his mind but first of all he needed Sherlock to have an accident. As it turns out it wasn't that hard to create an event in which Sherlock ended up in the hospital getting stiches in his hand. If anyone asked Sherlock had simply slipped and fallen into an unfortunately placed razor blade….it's not like John deliberately left a bottle of washing up liquid tipped on its side and the razor positioned perfectly…
The next morning the full plan had been organised and the local police were more than happy to get their own back on Sherlock after the conclusion of the recent investigation. Once again Sherlock had been less than successful at making friends and had instead successfully gotten himself another few members of law enforcement to dislike him greatly.
Sherlock and John were sitting near a fountain passing the time until their train to the airport. Sherlock was getting frustrated with his hand and itched it madly non-stop. This was partly down to the itching powder John put on the bandage before he dressed it. About 15 minutes into the itch attack Sherlock had had enough and ripped the bandage from his hand in utter frustration. Within seconds Sherlock had been wrestled to the ground by four police officers who were perhaps using slightly more force than was necessary. Sherlock looked confused until he saw the grin on John's face and his expression slowly turned to anger and annoyance.
"So then John… What was it this time?" he said in a monotone clearly unimpressed at this disruption to their travel arrangements. John shrugged his shoulders trying to keep a straight face but failing miserably.
"Sherlock Holmes you are being placed under arrest for publically removing your bandage which is considered illegal in Canada" came the droning voice on the highest ranking officer.
"Sorry Sherlock it seems our stay will be lasting just that little bit longer…Who knows maybe we'll see Niagara Falls before the next flight" said John as he got into the passenger seat of the police car watching his friend still itch his healing hand.
