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.’

Seeing his friend in pain sickened and enraged the ordinarily gentle doctor. Such injuries! It was a wonder Holmes still breathed.

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

.oOOo.
