“Oh, dear,” sobbed Oliver. “Oh, no!”

“There, there,” said the little old lady who had been on the bench, rising to comfort him. “What’s happened?”

“I’ve lost my house key. My dad will be furious!”

“We’ll find it,” she soothed. “Where did you last have it?”

“Over there, I think,” sniffled Oliver. “By the ducks.”

Sherlock watched Oliver lead the old lady away, and immediately pounced in to collect the DNA sample he needed from the forgotten coffee cup she’d left behind.

“Should we be concerned he can cry on cue?” asked John, watching Oliver.

“Useful undercover skill,” replied Sherlock.

I wonder if Sherlock practiced crying with Oliver the way he practiced shouting with him... (Hee!!!)

I love how in every single ParentLock story I've ever come across, Sherlock pretty much turns the kid into an irregular. ;-)

And then of course whatever sleight-of-hand is necessary so that the woman thinks Oliver miraculously found the key amongst the ducks, and will be none the wiser for the subterfuge. :)

I'm proud to say I know Oliver well enough to have guessed, from his first words, that he was out of character. :D Also, his strolling near the ducks voluntarily was highly suspicious. Unless of course he wanted to know how a duck reacts when he has unwittingly swallowed a key. For science.
