Today's prompt: cluedo

________________________________________________


Nailed it


“You are a sore loser, John.”

“I’m really not. Your solution is just not possible.”

“And why is that?”

“Because it's not actually possible for the victim to have done it.”

“Why?”

“Mainly because the victim is dead and this is not a game about solving a suicide. But also because it says so in the rules.”

“Then the rules are wrong.”

John groaned and got up to walk up and down, something that usually helped when arguing with Sherlock. He held up the board to wave it through the air, when Sherlock grabbed the knife he had ‘kept’ from their last case and threw it through the air. It snatched the board out of John’s hand and nailed it to the wall next to the mirror.

John was impressed.

“I am impressed. I didn’t know you could throw knifes.”

“I can’t. I mean, I couldn’t. Clearly I can, otherwise the knife would be in you and not the board.”

“Are you saying that you have never thrown a knife before and you decided to try it with me as a target?”

“Relax. You weren’t the target, the board was. And why are you upset? I didn’t miss.”

“Lucky for you. Otherwise you could have called Greg with the words ‘It was me, in the living room, with the stolen blade’.”

I am a bit put out that Sherlock risked John's life in this way even though the ending was perfect.

Still. I am angry with Mr. Holmes.

I have no idea why I am telling you these things except I'm probably leading up to some sort of sex is required for Sherlock to make it up to me—uh, John, to make it up to John.

Okay I loved this one xD yay knife throwing Sherlock! Y'know, since he didn't hit John! XD

I always wondered how the Cluedo board got nailed to the wall with a knife. I just still can't see how Sherlock could assume the victim was the killer. Unless, of course, they played the Sherlock Cluedo where Moriarty is the victim ...

Oh, awesome! I love that last line - and I also really like the:

John was impressed.

“I am impressed..."

And yes. I DO always win at Cluedo :D
