“Sherlock,” Watson reminded him standing outside Baker Street, “the scenes are old, even for you. Molly has all four ready at St. Bart’s if you’d rather go there first?”
“Yes. Yes.” replied Sherlock “Why don’t people notify me of these things as soon as they happen? This will lengthen the time it takes for me to solve this. Let’s go.” When they arrived at St Barts, Molly was waiting for them.
Molly blushed, as she always did, when Sherlock came in. She knew he was crazy, she knew she was for having anything to do with him, she knew she was crazier because none of that mattered to her. John had texted they were coming and she had all four bodies lined up in a row waiting for them.
