Summary: Carl sees The Worst.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carl is not one of the brightest thieves in London.
Actually he is quite dumb - he can not write or even read and his vocabulary is limited to mostly insults and threats.
He knows nothing about society, politics or generally about anything that goes on in the city.
He only knows that a well-dressed man is an easy target to get something from and so when he sees this one man, a doctor even he is able to recognize, walking though the darkened streets all alone, there is no hesitation in his mind.
The man puts up a fight, but Carl is stronger and more ruthless and so gives the doctor a sound trashing for his resistance, bevor he leaves with the man's possessions.
After all, what's the worst that could happen if he beats up a simple man?
Three days later he meets the doctor's companion whose eyes are burning with a cold fury he has never seen on a human's face before.
That's The Worst that can happen to you, Carl is intelligent enough to realise when an inspector from Scotland Yard is barely able to keep the furious man away from his throat.
Carl actually learns something from this as he is brought to the Yard - never dare to touch Sherlock Holmes' doctor or damned you be.
