Dear Mycroft,

I'd like to have John Watson officially declared a hopeless case. Sent him away to decorate bedroom for birthday party – he doesn't walk in. Sent him to countryside so he'd see giant congratulations dirigible – doesn't look up. Spent a good extra hour of burglary to paint message on convict's cellar wall – won't take eyes off case.

Any ideas?

Hee! This made me laugh - the idea of Holmes trying so hard to surprise Watson and him being so focused on doing well for Holmes that he doesn't even notice...

Glad if it did. ;) I was so blank after reading this that total nonsense was my one and only, completely desperate option. XD;;

Hehe! I love all the effort Holmes is putting in here for Watson's benefit. Adorable! And the frustrated complaints to his brother are so cute too. :)

The frustrated complaints are my fault - I was desperate about what I was supposed to write about this week's case. Maybe I dreamed up my own imaginary older brother? XD;;
