The following a 155 word BBC Sherlock drabble was inspired by the
Numbers Challenge and as a reward for
the Weekend Challenge for

“Sherlock, did you just say you took the 7:08 to Berrylands?”
“Honestly John, I don’t know how to be any clearer.”
John closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding it for ten seconds before exhaling slowly. When he opened his eyes again, he was marginally calmer and the death grip he had on his phone loosened microscopically.
“Is there a specific reason you went to Berrylands?” The detective’s silence was all the answer John needed. “You were following someone?”
At Sherlock’s hum of approval, John worriedly shook his head. “Do you need any back up or does Scotland Yard know where you are?”
For the entirety of their conversation, the doctor had been moving towards the front door but at hearing his friend’s mysterious reply of “I wanted to take a look at the nature preserve first,” John was outside with his coat half on. “Sherlock, wait for me, I’m on my way.”
