HAHA! The GPS thing had me in stitches!

[cathouse_mary]

Thanks!

I am a bad reader, and am going through my fest bookmarks to find what's on Sherlock's hard drive. Switching jobs is nuts.

I love that Sally and Sherlock and John are all working together for Lestrade! Great stuff here. This really packs a punch (um, no pun intended...) :D

[cathouse_mary]

Thanks! :)

I think I'm going to build this fic up a bit. I can imagine they didn't simply call Lestrade in case his was in worse danger and the phone would give him away.

[morganstuart]

Oh, I'd love to see an "extended version" of this! I can't help wondering what Moriarty and Co. had plannned for Lestrade (if he hadn't out-BAMF!ed the heavies), if they'd planted a body in his car to detract attention away from his disappearance.

That makes good sense about why Sherlock and/or Sally didn't call him on his mobile.

Wonderful story!

[madder_badder]

He was bored. Of course he was. ;)

[cathouse_mary]

:D

I'd hate to think about the other things sneaked onto the mobiles in Sherlock's 'sphere of influence'.

Terrific!

[weefreethings]

You packed a lot of tension into a piece set after the major action!

Thank you! Poor Lestrade - I really beat the stuffing out of him.

Only just got to this one... so so so so so behind.

But can I say how much I loved the imaginary in this? ", and my weren’t those lovely colours coming up on his ribs? Just the colours of an Ibiza sunset. "

[cathouse_mary]

Thank you! And having had broken ribs... oooogh that hurts.
