Division of labour
John came into the living room where Sherlock and Lestrade were going over the plan. A plan that included ensnaring a ridiculously sentimental (and criminal) spinster, to get access to her flat, then breaking into said flat (Sherlock emphasized that it technically wasn’t breaking in when she invited one of them inside and that someone left the door open) and cracking her safe (while said door opener was distracting her).
“Ah, John. Ready for the target?”
“What? No, no. You do the acting. I do the shooting. That’s how we work.”
“I’m just going to pretend I didn’t hear that last part,” said Lestrade.
Sherlock ignored him. “I can’t, John. Not this time.”
“Why? I’ve seen you make people do almost everything because they want you.”
“That’s the point. I can make them want me. I can’t make them like me.”
“It worked with me.”
“I didn’t make you like me. You did that on your own account. I was just lucky.”
Lestrade rolled his eyes because he too can read people and knew that this was going to get soppy very soon. He was about to start pretending to be deaf when his mobile chimed.
“I’m just going to leave you two to your romantic declarations. No one needs to do any acting today. The lady just left for Bruges.”
