Riverside District
London


Sherlock Holmes had been missing for thirteen days. Police inquiries lead nowhere.  Through unofficial channels, Watson let the criminal element know that there was good money for valid information.

That led him to this cellar. He found Holmes beaten to a bloody pulp, and the unsuspecting abductors still upstairs.

‘Watson,’ the detective slurred, ‘I’ve had the most unfortunate run of bad luck.’

Watson hated to see anyone in pain and was both sickened and outraged at what had been done to his friend.

‘Not to worry, old boy,’ gritted Watson, patting his loaded Webley. ‘I’ve brought my good luck charm.’

.oOOo.

Huh? Oh. No, what I meant was that Capt. Jack Harkness *also* carries a Webley. Lucky gun!

*hugs this fic*

Good luck charm, indeed. At least for Watson and Holmes. Not so much for those who hurt Holmes. ;-) Brava!

Yes, some payback is certainly imminent!
*thanks!*

I do love stoic Victorian manly schmoop. Don't hug the poor man, Watson, shoot the fuck out of those abusive mofos!

Priorities:
1. Check Holmes' condition
2. BAMFiness
3. Get Holmes safely home

Watson does some detecting... and then some doctoring... (with a side helping of BAMF!)

Well, Holmes is too hurt to go out the window Watson entered through, so they will just have to BAMF their way out the front door!
