Character(s): Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, Dr. John Watson
Summary: Holmes pays another visit to a particular set of rooms.
Warnings: Some very minor spoilers for EMPT, so if you haven't read that, you might not want to read this. In addition, this ties in fairly directly with last week's 60, so if you haven't read that one yet, you might want to do so before reading this.
Word Count: 60, plus an extended-play version (100 words).
Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
EMPT – Second Visit
His rooms were as secure as ever, but I did not remove my disguise.
“The Foreign Office is understandably dismayed, but I am glad to see you back. London needs you more than ever.”
For us, that was an effusive welcome. I smiled to hear it, but remained focused. “How is he?”
“Unhappy, but I expect that will change shortly.”
Extended-play version:
His rooms were as secure as ever, but I did not remove my disguise. It was neither prudent nor necessary. We studied each other. Mycroft’s hair was greyer, and there were new lines on his massive face.
“The Foreign Office is sorry to lose their best field agent, but I am glad to see you back. London needs you more than ever.”
For us, that was as effusive a welcome as glad cries and embraces. I smiled to hear it, but remained focused. “How is he?”
“Unhappy. But I expect you will address that problem along with your other concerns.”
