Positive reinforcement


Cold water closed over his head. Where was Sherlock? He tried to take his bearing and get back to the surface.

John felt himself starting to panic. This was the pool all over again except that the dead weight of Sherlock in his arms was missing. He waved his arms through the murky water, trying to get a hold of Sherlock. He couldn’t find him.

His lungs were short of bursting and he still couldn’t differentiate top from bottom. Suddenly there was a hand on his collar and he was pulled to his left. So there was the surface!

He opened his eyes, realised it was Sherlock who had pulled him up and threw his arms around him, almost drowning them again.

“John. John, please calm down. I’m fine. This is not the pool. It’s the power plant’s cooling basin. And we’re only in here because the damned railing broke.”

John remembered. They had followed some leads into the power plant and Sherlock, the idiot, had climbed on the rusty railing to have a better view, causing both of them to end up in the water.

“We can’t go on like this. You panic whenever we end up falling into water. I think you need positive reinforcement.”

“Positive reinforcement.”

“Yes. Let’s have sex.”

“Excuse me?”

“Preferably now.”

“You are completely bonkers.”



Next 221b: Timing, John!
