[Lestrade is unusually somber, but trying not to show it. Judge him all you like.]

It's hard to believe that there isn't some amount of chance when you've seen him take nothing but a footprint and save two kids' lives. Surely he can cheat his way out of a damn --

[Pause.]

-- I'll personally invite Anderson and Donovan to the 'I told you so' party when it's unveiled that these ridiculous gossip rags are wrong. Along with serving them their transfer papers.

[And then a slight clearing of his throat.]

I only work with the best.

Comments

[inspectoring]

Hilarious. Really.

Go back to never making jokes, Sherlock.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Saving lives is never a joke.

[He doesn't sign the note. But shortly after another text follows.]

You know where to find me.

[Protip: not 221B Baker Street. But Lestrade should know the alleyway anyway.]

[inspectoring]

No, I don't, because you're dead.

[Yes, he does, and he would be there like the hounds of Hell were chasing him.]

[Sherlock can a patient man. But he's spoken to Molly (obviously) and John. And now it was DI Lestrade's turn. Ironically, he expected this to be the hardest. He sticks to the shadows as much as he can. But says nothing as he approaches.]
