Are you still at Barts then? Teaching
now
.
Yeah bright young things like we used to be.
God I hate them. What about you? Just staying
in town till you get yourself sorted?
Can't afford London on an army pension. And you
couldn't bear to be anywhere else that's
not the John Watson I know.
Yeah, I'm not the John Watson..
Couldn't Harry help? Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
I dunno get a flat share or something.
Come on, who'd want me for a flatmate? What?
Well you're the second person to say
that to me today. Who's the first?
How fresh? Just in. 67. Natural causes. he
used to work here. I knew him. He was nice.
Fine.
We'll start with the riding crop.
So bad day was it? I need to know what
bruises form in the next 20 minutes.
A man's alibi depends on it. Text me. Listen,
I was wondering maybe later when you're
finished..You wearing lipstick? You're weren't wearing lipstick
before. I.. I refreshed it a bit .
Sorry you
were saying? I was wondering if you'd
like to have coffee? Black. Two sugars
please. I'll be upstairs. OK.
A bit different from my day. Oh you have no idea.
Mike can I borrow your phone?
There's no signal on mine .
Well what's
wrong with the landline? I prefer to text.
Sorry, it's in my coat. Oh here.
Use mine. Oh thank you. Here's an old
friend of mine John Watson. Afghanistan or Iraq?
Sorry? Which was it? Afghanistan or Iraq?
Afghanistan. Sorry, how did you.. Oh Molly, coffee thank you.
What happened to the lipstick? It wasn't
working for me. Really? I thought it was a
big improvement.
Mouth's too small now. How do you feel about
the violin? Sorry what? I play the
violin when I'm thinking sometimes
I don't talk for days on end. Will that
bother you? Potential flatmates should
know the worst about each other. But you
you told him about me. Not a word. Then who
said anything about flatmates. I did.
Told Mike this morning that I must be a
difficult man to find a flatmate for and
now here he is just after lunch with an
old friend clearly just home for
military service in Afghanistan. Not a difficult leap.
How did you know about Afghanistan?
Got my eye on a nice little place in central
London. Together we ought to be able to
afford it. We meet there tomorrow evening at 7:00 o'clock.
Sorry got to dash -
I think I left my
riding crop in the mortuary. Is that it?
Is that what? We've only just met and we're
gonna go look at a flat. Problem? We don't
know a thing about each other. I don't
know where we're meeting. I don't even
know your name.
I know you're an army doctor you've been
invalided home from Afghanistan and
that you've got a brother who's worried
about you but you won't go to him for
help because you didn't approve of him
possibly because he's an alcoholic more
likely because he recently walked out on
his wife and I know that your therapist
thinks your limp is psychosomatic
Quite correctly, I'm afraid. That's enough to be
going on with don't you think?
The name's Sherlock Holmes and the address
is 221b Baker Street.
