Advent Drabble 23 - Jigsaw Puzzles

For arctacuda

“You see,” the Doctor said, “it’s a puzzle.”

“I do see…” Sam Tyler agreed.

“No, he doesn’t,” Gene Hunt said belligerently. “That doesn’t make any sense. What’s a puzzle?”

“The reason we’re all here today—” the Doctor begins.

“But also how to solve it!” Sherlock concludes triumphantly. “Oh, of course, that’s rather clever, isn’t it? A simple jigsaw puzzle.”

“A jigsaw puzzle composed of the fabric of time and space itself,” the Doctor corrected him.

Sherlock, uncorrectable, glared.

Hunt proclaimed, “Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.”

Sherlock said, “Don’t worry, idiots needn’t help us solve it.”

“Oi!” Hunt shouted.
