Warning: Veers from Canon to twist the knife deeper.
Summary: A sadly-fitting name for that station.
***
I sent Watson with young Openshaw, of course – I should have been guilty of negligent homicide otherwise. It was the correct thing to do.
Three brutes attacked their cab near the train station. Watson fought all three, and Openshaw fled to safety; the assailants arrested, the case closed.
Yet I would slay Openshaw myself if it would bring John back.
