"Wrong. Again." Irritated due to being left out of a conversation involving murder, Sherlock added extra condescension to his tone so Lestrade would feel appropriately chastised. "Getting rid of one table leg would be conspicuous in of itself, about as conspicuous as, say, a three legged table. She would have to dispose of the entire project, which someone would surely notice, or, far more probable, as an artist she would be loathe to destroy one of her own creations, and would therefore be idiotic enough to hope to hide it in plain sight."
That earns him another smile. "Yes. Exactly that. It's all in here, actually." Watson moves to place the folder on Lestrade's desk, but Sherlock swipes it mid-air; he completes the motion empty handed.
And it's... beautiful. Neatly written. Heavily detailed. Important information highlighted. The conclusions drawn are objective and apt. Sherlock spares a few seconds to calculate how many copies would be needed to completely paper his room before he looks up.
Then immediately twists around violently. Watson is gone. Gone! When did he leave? The chair squeals on the linoleum as he throws his head in the other direction to check his (still unoccupied) office.
There is a snort from Lestrade, who is now hunched over his desk and partially obstructed by heaps of paperwork, looking appropriately miserable for it.
"He left nearly a half hour ago, Sherlock."
The angle of the sunlight outside indicates that 35 minutes have passed since his last observation. He was so preoccupied with this work of art that he neglected the artist himself. That will not do. Clearly this Watson fellow was... well, not clever, per se, but certainly good at what he does. A valuable trait, one that should be nurtured and encouraged in order to flourish.
Yes, in time Sherlock could see this man approach near brilliance, so long as he avoids his coworkers. Repeated inundation in their way of thinking would only render him useless. Nothing for it then, Sherlock would simply have to spend as much time with him as possible.
"I am going to need Watson's phone number."
To be continued. Probably. I hope. Thanks for all the lovely comments :) You guys are awesome.

"Technically, the fact that you were there at all was a gross abuse of police authority. Come off it, Sherlock, you know you're just miffed that he didn't come by for the drugs bust."
"Wrong."
"Please. You made yourself dizzy looking for him. I've never seen you so disappointed."
Sherlock's only reply is a sniff of disdain as he turns his face away from Lestrade's offensive statements. That this move also gives him the opportunity to take another look at Watson's office is mere coincidence.
