Canon Story: Charles Augustus Milverton
Title: Assumptions
Author:

Rating: PG-13
Author's Note:Watson, in the instant the detective proposes it, imagines every possible way Holmes' lone burglary of Milverton's house could end: the detection, the capture, the honoured career ending in irreparable failure and disgrace, my friend himself lying at the mercy of the odious Milverton.
He was waiting for a click, but not that one.
"Don't move, Mr. Holmes."
Holmes pulled his hands off the safe's dial and rolled to his back to face Milverton. If he was going to be shot, at least it wouldn't be a surprise.
"I thought I told you to be still."
"I thought you were sleeping. Incorrect assumptions abound."
