"Holmes, are you here?" Watson asked as he enter Holmes's dark room.
"We're right here, Watson." Sherlock's voice come from the left side of the room.
"It isn't good to work in the dark you know." Watson said as he walk towards the curtains and open them, drawing a scream of pain from Sherlock and a soft female hiss.
"And shouldn't Regina be at work?" He asked as he opens the other curtains, getting another scream of pain and a louder hiss.
Watson turn around to see Sherlock covering his eyes and Regina curled into a ball to block out the sun, with papers surrounding them. He cross his arms as he look at both of them. "Well? Wasn't she supposed to be selling papers?"
"She got fired." Sherlock said, being the first to recover.
"Was she unable to sell any?"
"She is right here." Regina finally uncurl from her ball and glare at the window. "On the contrary I was able to sell everything. They just didn't like the fact that I wondered away and gotten myself lost."
"Well have you tried getting another job?"
"Yeah, I did. I got a job at the factory, I was supposed to keep an eye on a machine that was having some problem and hit it with a stick to get it working if it stopped but it got boring after a while so I took it apart to fix it. Apparently it only needs a few parts clean to get it working properly."
"They fired you for fixing the machine?"
"They wasn't happy that I didn't follow instructions."
"Well you can get a job fixing those machine."
"Not really...I wasn't trained to fix anything and it's only by luck that it I was able to put it back."
Watson sigh softly as he shake his head. "That's when you stop looking for a job?"
"Oh no! Tina managed to get me a job as a maid and I got fired on my first day too." She said cheerfully.
"Do I even want to know?" Watson is starting to look defeated.
"I used the hand brushes as skates and skate around the room, they fired me for doing something dangerous but in my defense I did get the room cleaned faster than I would have if I was on my hands and knees." She smiled innocently.
Watson just shake his head, he give up, he's not going to ask anymore. "Where is Gladstone? I'm here to pick him up."
"Tina brought him to work with her." Sherlock said as he smoke his pipe.
"Why did she bring Gladstone to work with her?" Watson asked even though he is very sure he won't like the answer.
"Sherlock was just showing me the way someone can appear to be dead. Tina wasn't happy when she came home to Gladstone 'dead'." Regina said as she push Sherlock out of the way as she look for the paper she is looking for.
Watson just cover his face as he tries not to cry, one Holmes was bad enough, two is just asking for trouble, but both of them close enough to use each other's first name? He might as well get ready for the end of the world.
