‘J-John C-Clay?? I don’t u-understand…’

‘Rest, Dr Watson. You have lost a lot of blood.’

‘W-Where are we…?’

‘Some place safe. What do you recall?’

‘…docks… supposed to meet— HOLMES?!? Is he—’

‘Mr Holmes was never there. It was a ruse; an ambush.’

‘N-No… I don’t trust you… L-Let me go.’

‘Doctor, you’ve been shot. You're not going anywhere.’

‘S-Someone… will n-notice… I’m missing.’

‘You misunderstand me. Your attackers now think that you’re dead, so it's in my best interest to keep you alive. Someone has gone to a great deal of effort to frame me for your murder.’
