Prompted Shorties

Elementary

Prompt: There's a knock on your door. Upon opening it, you find yourself facing a man dressed distinctly like Sherlock Holmes. He informs you that he is a detective, and that you are a suspect in the disappearance of a person named John Watson. What happens next?

Story:

I was enjoying the gloomy unlit almost rainy streets of London through my window when someone caught my eye, a man distinctively dressed as a fictional character, created by a famous writer that I've never met, but read his books a couple of times, passed by outside but didn't pay much attention to it.

It was amusing to see someone dress up as Sherlock Holmes even if it's not Halloween.

I continued to savor the joy that is my cup of tea until I heard the doorbell rang. Must be my package, I thought.

When I opened the door, I was surprised. It was the guy dressed up as Sherlock, but he doesn't look anything like him.

"Can I help you?"

"The name's Bond, James Bond"

Oh great! Another psycho.

"And why are you here Mr. Bond?"

"I'm investigating the disappearance of my assistant, Watson. John Watson. Ring any bells?"

"No. Please leave" I was about to close the door on him when he stopped it with his hand.

"Eric, you are my only suspect as to why my assistant disappeared. Please tell me where to find him"

How did he?

"Who are you? How did you know my name?"

"I saw the happy birthday sign" He pointed the big birthday sign that I've forgotten to take off yesterday. For a moment there I thought he...

"Listen, if you don't leave now, I will call the police"

He didn't seem to be threatened at all.

"I don't know who you're looking for. Leave me alone!" I slammed the door shut with a lot of force and locked it. I can tell he was still there, I haven't heard his steps yet.

"I know what you did Eric. You won't get away with this. I will find Watson if it's the last thing I do" I spoke gently on the other side of the door, tempting me, taunting me.

What bothers me is that, does he really know what I did?

And who is this Watson guy?

Those blasted minions must've grabbed the wrong guy again. This Bond person is going to mess up my plans, but I'm not having it. He must be taken out as well. I walked cautiously to my window, went back to sipping my tea and started plotting.
