Rating: Gen
Content Note: Noir style
Summary: Someone else is pretty pleased about Holmes's version of justice.

“Johnny.”
I blinked. Did the devil’s foot still linger in my veins?
“My husband confessed?”
“Sterndale?!”
“I like energetic men, or don’t you remember, Johnny?”
“You’re hard to forget, Susanna.”
“Mister Holmes let him go? Good. I liked Brenda. The brother?” She grimaced.
“You’re looking well.”
She winked and blew a smoke-ring. “Wait ‘til you see me in widow’s weeds.”
