Advent Drabble 19 - Sherlock

The flat was in an uproar when John got back from getting milk. “What is it?” he asked, watching Sherlock dash around. “What’s happened?”

“We’ve got a case,” Sherlock answered. “A very important case. Hurry up, we must investigate.”

John hurriedly put the milk away, prepared to leave again. “What case?”

“Someone—” Sherlock knotted his scarf firmly—“has stolen Mrs. Hudson’s wreath from the front door.”

John paused. “That’s the very important case?”

“I am not going to let these hooligans destroy Mrs. Hudson’s Christmas.”

“You told her the wreath was stupid,” John pointed out.

“That’s different, let’s go.”

I mean, telling her the wreath was stupid was HELPING her, stealing it is NOT, isn’t this obvious?!

You have a very Sherlockian way of thinking. :D

I am not ENTIRELY sure this is a compliment... :D

The idea crossed my mind when I was typing my reply but in this case it is a compliment. :D

At last Sherlock lets himself enter into the spirit of Christmas, that's so heart-warm— Wait, unless he wanted to steal the wreath himself and he's miffed that somebody got ahead of him? :D

Well, bless him for thinking the case ultra-important, but he shouldn't upset Mrs Hudson in the first place!

Inside of the door?

I think he's just terrified that Mrs. Hudson will take it out on him. ;-)
