Today's prompt: fear
________________________________________________
Trouble shared... (1/2)
She crouches down behind the slab, the shot still loud in her ears. Her teeth are chattering.
‘Shock. I’m in shock.’
She remembers that there were two other people in the room with her before and frantically turns around.
They are both sitting on the ground behind another slab, conversing in whispers. John is busy tying a bandage around his own arm. There is blood everywhere on his sleeve. He notices her looking and grins at her.
Then they get up and crouch over. John grabs one of her scalpels off the table next to the slab.
“Stay put. Both of you. If I see you following me, I will poke you in the eye, do you hear me, Sherlock?”
Sherlock grimaces.
“Watch him.” He looks at her. She nods.
He runs to the door, keeping his head low, and then vanishes into the corridor. A few minutes later another shot rings through the air.
“John.”
She grabs Sherlock’s arm before he can get up.
“He said to stay put.”
“But...”
“He knows what he’s doing. You are staying.”
Sherlock’s eyes widen slightly.
“You were afraid a minute ago.”
“I still am. But he gave me a task. That helps.”
“Doesn’t help me.”
“I will. Give me your hand.”
Surprisingly, Sherlock does.
They sit there, holding hands, waiting with bated breath.

Next 221b: The human condition
------------------
AN:
Today's prompt was 'fear'.
Also, as you might have noticed, it's a two-parter (is that the right word?). *evil grin*
Still at a loss. Where the hell have I seen Adam McNamara before?

Date: 2012-07-17 06:04 pm (UTC)Feeling like Sherlock and wanna run after John and there's no hand here to hold. Seems I have to wait...
I have a slight idea who 'she' might be and I'm curious to see whether I'm right (most likely not).
So thrilling!!

Date: 2012-07-17 06:06 pm (UTC)You are devious and evil indeed. How can you stop there? Aaargh!
The "in media res" beginning is very effective and the suspense becomes greater and greater. Why does John go on his own whereas he's wounded and Sherlock is not? Who shot and why? Why is someone in shock and there's no blanket anywhere? WHY THE HELL HAVE YOU TO STOP THERE???
“I still am. But he gave me a task. That helps.”
Very accurate. Something to do gives you something else than fear to focus on, but of course Sherlock can only focus on John.
“I will. Give me your hand.”
Surprisingly, Sherlock does.
Lovely Molly. Lovely scene. I'm going to do like them. I'm going to sit there,
holding hands,waiting with bated breath. Can I hold Sherlock's hand too please? :DAs for the mysterious Adam McNamara, sorry about my yesterday's silly input, I hadn't noticed that Single Father was already mentioned in the document of your link. Have you seen Hamlet with Michael Sheen in November? He was in the cast. Look here or here. :-)

Date: 2012-07-18 03:21 pm (UTC)I couldn't write a convincing Bones to save my life...
Also not interesting enough. Where would be the slash? ;)

Date: 2012-07-18 03:22 pm (UTC)Hahaha. *giggles*
Thank you for all your help with Adam McNamara. I still don't know though... *sighs*
Maybe I'm confusing him with someone
Anarion is evil (yup)
Date: 2012-07-17 06:33 pm (UTC)You've gone to the dark side,(well,they do have the best cookies)should have expected it after *Best.Anthea.Ever* but still surprised.
I'm eyeing that *bones* tag and am biting the nails off on my right hand.
Saving the left ones for when I reread this.*Whimper*

Not going to happen though. I couldn't write a convincing Bones to save my life...

The *bones* tag just made me nervous 'cause Anarion is impressively twisty.
Sorry Chocolamousse.

Date: 2012-07-26 03:59 pm (UTC)Thank you for the link. By now I'm pretty sure that I've not seen him in anything. He either reminds me of someone else, or I've met him as a private person somewhere. *shrugs*
