Sherlock closed his eyes and aimed the gun at the wall.
“Now, stop that,” John chided. “Poor Mrs Hudson. She just got that wall fixed.”
Bored!” Sherlock whined, getting up from the couch. “She said she’d do something! But what’s it been now, three weeks? Bored!”
John looked at him from over his cereal. “You do realise that I have no idea what you’re talking about?”
Sherlock felt like shaking him. “Maria! I’m talking about Maria, of course!”
“Maria? You mean that…that case with the thief?”
Sherlock pulled a face. “Yes I mean that ‘case with the thief,’ he mimicked childishly. “She said she’d do something!”
“Sherlock, calm down. You’re not making any sense.”
“Oh, who needs to make sense?” he asked, collapsing back on the couch.
The phone rang.
“You, uh, going to get that?” John asked.
Sherlock turned away from him to face the back of the couch. John sighed and got up to answer it.
“Yup? Right. Okay good. I’ll tell him.” He looked at Sherlock, his hand over the mouthpiece. “It’s Lestrade. You were right. That Maria has struck again.”
