Cork high and bottle deep
‘Oh fuck, I’ve been knocked out.’ Greg tried to open his eyes and failed. His head was throbbing and something cold was dripping on his forehead.
‘Kidnapped? Chinese water torture? What the hell is going on?’ He moved his hands. Not bound. That was a start.
He tried to open his eyes again but was greeted by such a harsh light that he closed them again before seeing anything. He decided to try and turn his head and realised that he had turned his whole body instead when he rolled off from whatever he was lying on and hit the ground.
He groaned but found that he could open his eyes now. He had landed between a couch and a coffee table. He knew that coffee table! He had seen Sherlock walk over it far too many times. Probably not kidnapped then. Torture still seemed likely.
“Good morning, Inspector.” Sherlock was standing over him, a glass of water in his hand, one eyebrow raised.
It took him what felt like an hour to sit up and take the glass with the Alka Seltzer Sherlock handed him.
“What...” He had to clear his throat. “What happened?”
“That I can't tell you. But I can tell you that John is in a similar condition and that there is nothing left in the bottle.”
Next 221b: Think not, is my eleventh commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelfth
