London
1886

Dr Watson was not one given to panic. When his pursuers expected him to run, he instead went to ground, emerging only after they had finally cleared off.

The night was turning to rain but his luck held. There, by the lamp-post, stood a police constable.  He grinned as he approached.

‘Doctor, I’ve been waiting for you.’

Waiting? Surely not, Watson thought. Something’s wrong.

Before he could react, he was seized and a handkerchief infused with the sickening stench of mouldy flowers was clamped over his face by an iron grip.  His struggle was as frantic as it was brief.

.oOOo.

OOOH! That leaves me wanting more! What happens to Watson now? Poor Watson! And Holmes will be besides himself with worry!

Sorry to keep you in suspense! (*not really*)
Perhaps a later prompt will spark a continuation!
Thanks for commenting!

HAHA! You are too evil to really be sorry. I'm glad you admit it.

I enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it!
(But I must protest your sustained assumption that I am evil based solely on my user icon!)
