"150 over 80. Very good." Watson said to Captain Philips. "My nerves are the best they've been in years, thanks to you." Captain Philips said to Watson. Watson smiles as he starts to pack up his equipment. "Tell me something: your needs premises....when you moving in?" The captain asked. "I should be in within the week." Watson replied.
"Cavendish Place. And there will be a women's touch too."
"Oh, well that's marvellous!" The captain said.
"Indeed." Watson mutters as gunshots ring out through the building.
The two men flinch as the captain exclaims. "Good God! That was gunfire!"
"No, no, no, no. Hammer on nail, wasn't it? My colleague's probably just putting up a painting. I'll go check." Watson said as gunfire continues to ring out."Your colleague?" The captain ask.
"Yes." Watson replied with a hint of annoyance.
"He won't be moving with you, will he?" The captain asked.
"No, he won't." Watson replied as he walks out of his room and out the hallway.
Meanwhile, while that's happening, you were walking down the street towards 221B but you weren't walking alone. "I hate that you live here with that maniac." Arthur, the new man you were seeing, said to you. "He's not so bad once you get to know him." You said.
"From what you've told me about him, I'm surprised you're not dead." He said.
"Well, I'm a tough woman." You said with a smirk.
He laughs as the two of you walk up to the door. "Well, I hope you'll consider my offer." He said and you look down at your feet. You met this man a few months ago and when he heard about who you work with he was shocked and appalled by this and asked you to move in with him so that he knows you were safe.
"I'll think about it. I'm just not sure..." You trailed off as Arthur smiles and kissed your forehead.
"It's okay, love. Take your time." He said.
You smile at him and was about to kiss him until you heard gunshots. "What the bloody hell was that?!?!" Arthur asked. You look up and you could've sworn you saw Holmes walking away from the window. 'Bloody hell, he knows!' You thought.
You look back at Arthur and said. "He does this when he gets bored. I...I'm gonna go inside and see if Watson and I can take care of this." You said as you head to the door.
Arthur grabs your hand and said. "I'm not sure if I want you in there. A young lady, like yourself, shouldn't have to deal with that."
"I'm glad you're concerned for my safety but I've dealt with this, many of times. I'll be alright." You replied.
"Very well then." Arthur said and you give him a quick kiss on the lips and run inside.
L "Mrs Hudson! Watson!" You shouted as you shut the door behind you and run up the stairs. You see Mrs Hudson walking out of Holmes's flat and Watson coming out of his room.
"I won't go in there by myself. Not while he's got a gun in his hand!" Mrs Hudson exclaimed.
"You don't need to go in there at all." Watson said to her as you reach the landing they are on. "He just needs another case, that's all." You said to her as Captain Phillip walks out of Watson's room.
"I smell gunpowder. This is not right, you know! Not in a domestic environment." He exclaims.
"Thank you, Captain Phillip." Watson said as he gestures the captain out. "Perhaps a nice cup of tea..." Mrs Hudson said as she takes the man's arm and leads him down stairs. "Same time next week." Watson calls after the Captain.
