I've always wondered, like with crime shows/novels like Sherlock Holmes and Numb3rs and CSI and Law & Order...are there really that many murders occurring and I'm not aware of it? I know having my room in a basement is sort of like living in a cave, but really. (John questions the same thing.)


Assistant to the Madman

"No way."

Mike just nodded, a slow smile appearing.

"Because there are so many murders in London," John mocked, snatching a small green plate and handing it to Mike to wash.

"Apparently! He's a real...different sort of bloke. He's mentioned that he's looking for an assistant."

John didn't register what was being implied for a long moment, then balked. "Don't even think about it."

"It would be extra money and free access into crime scenes, John! Don't think I don't know you, you adrenaline junkie. You're a thrill addict. You'd have so much fun!"

"With him? I think not."

Thank you to all who are so kind as to review, even if there really isn't much to review with little drabbles (chapter-by-chapter reviews certainly are impossible when you only have a hundred words per). Seeing the reviews, the story alerts, and the favorites in my inbox when I get home from school are the most fun pick-me-ups. If you're an anonymous reviewer and I can't send you a PM, I would like to extend a thanks to you too, and know that even if I can't tell you through a private message that your review means just as much to me, and I am truly grateful for it. :)
