JWP Amnesty #01 ~~~ Gaping fish
Title: Gaping fish
Theme: July Writing Prompt Amnesty Period #01
Prompt: Eavesdropping and its possible consequences (be it misunderstandings, hurt and anger, something awkward taken totally out of context, whatever)
Author: alaylith
Rating: PG
Universe: BBC
Characters: Lestrade, Sherlock, Mycroft
WordCount: 221 (b)
Summary: Lestrade hears a conversation between the brothers about torture and a confession...?
A/N: The first amnesty prompt and I managed another 221b drabble! :)
Well originally it had 42 words more, but it already ended with a b-word, so I thought I could shorten it a bit. XD
As I had no idea what I could write I made this little funny ficlet to be just a filler, even though the first part of the conversation ties to the 5th amnesty prompt. ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Lestrade reaches the first floor he hears two voices through the closed door.
One belongs to Sherlock and after a moment he recognizes the other - having only heard it over telephone until now. But both Holmes’ have very distinctive voices.
Lestrade raises his hand to knock, but then his hand freezes in the air.
“Kidnapping him is the only solution that I can think of.”
“But it is not enough, he is too stubborn. And I can’t use any typical way of breaking a man.”
“Even if you could, I do not think they would work.”
“Torture can break most men, if you use the correct one. Water boarding for example is quite effective.”
“It’s boring. If you are already tortured, why should you be afraid of dying? Pain is a much more useful way of torture, because it can never end.”
“Ah, but you can heal from pain. Death is absolute.”
“Death is boring.”
“Now, Sherlock, as I said, kidnapping will not be enough to get John to admit that he is deeply in love with you.”
Suddenly the door is opened and Sherlock looks at Lestrade with a smug grin on his lips. “Well, Lestrade, heard enough?”
Lestrade looks like a gaping fish and Sherlock looks back over his shoulder to Mycroft. “I think we broke him, brother.”
