‘Doctor Watson, I know you’re confused. You must stop thrashing about. Your wound has opened again!’

‘…g-gunshot… what about— Holmes?’

‘Mr Holmes and the police are convinced I killed you. They’ve been turning the city inside-out all week looking for me.’

‘…am I your… p-prisoner… a hostage?’

Tricky; a very tricky situation with no neat solution. Nicely set up.
