Today's prompt: sponge
________________________________________________
Diversionary tactic
The table, he needed to get him on the table. John held the taller man’s wrists in his hands and pushed with his whole body until they almost crashed into the table.
He moved his hands so that the other man’s arms crossed in front of his chest and used that to push him flat down on the table.
“John,” moaned Sherlock from somewhere below him.
John answered with a grunt. He let go with one hand and swung a hard blow against the man’s temple. The body went limp.
John’s legs gave in and he tumbled to the floor, ending up next to Sherlock.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes. Fine. You?”
“I’m Ok. What the hell happened here?”
“Lestrade called me in for a case. The suspect came in for questioning but the idiots here failed to notice that he brought a gun. Which he pointed at me when you came in. Brilliant manoeuvre by the way.”
John grinned. His heart had almost stopped when he came in and saw the gun aimed at Sherlock’s head. He reacted solely on instinct, grabbed the nearest thing (a sponge from the blackboard – yes, the Yard was somewhat old-school) and threw it as a distraction before tackling the man to the ground.
Sherlock winked at John. “Let’s go home and take a bath.”

AN:
Today's prompt - courtesy of Verity again - was 'sponge'.
I'm off for a few days, I'm going to queue my posts and hope it works. If you don't get any notifications the next two days, please blame LJ! ;)
Sadly I can't link to the previous/next post that way.

Date: 2012-09-28 03:20 pm (UTC)Oh, so it's a sequel to Verity's Given in Evidence, to thank her for this prompt I suppose? Well, I think we all agree on this. John needs to get Sherlock on the table indeed.
“John,” moaned Sherlock from somewhere below him.
Yeah, moaning is good. *rubs her hands with anticipation*
He let go with one hand and swung a hard blow against the man’s temple.
Er... WHAT??? I... I'm not very keen on BDSM, you know. *looks at you nervously*
*reads the rest*
Ah, this is so much better! :D Of course you had to fool us.
“Let’s go home and take a bath.”
You're aware this kind of final line screams for a sequel, aren't you? I'm sure Verity would like to read a little bit more of, er, sponge-action.
I think it's "His heart had almost stopped when he had come in and had seen the gun aimed at Sherlock’s head." :-)

BTW, did you get a notification for this? I know that my 221Bs don't have a lot of readers, but only one comment? *slightly worried*

So please go on and know that I'm here, Kat
