Meet Greg Lestrade, big game hunter


John watched in fascination as Sherlock paced the crime scene, managed to make Donovan speechless with fury and reduced the new guy on the forensic team to tears within the first five minutes.

The sound of footsteps made him turn his head. Greg appeared next to him.

“Do you sometimes think about using a tranquillizer dart when he is like that? You know, those that are used in Africa to bring down wild rhinos. Because I have.”

John’s laugh was interrupted by a string of insults directed at everyone in the room. Lestrade didn’t even blink.

“He is in a special mood today. What happened? Did he get out of the wrong side of the bed?”

“He didn’t get out of it at all because he refused to go to bed yesterday.”

“Any particular reason?”

“He was researching weird hobbies on the internet.”

“Weird hobbies? What’s a weird hobby?”

“Apart from all the people who collect weird stuff, there apparently are people who race ferrets, people who learn how to speak Klingon and people who research monsters. I stopped listening after a while.”

“Do you think weird hobbies make someone into a weird person or weird people simply choose weird hobbies?”

“Why?”

“I think Anderson once told me something about his position in the Klingon fleet. He also collects tea bags.”

Sorry, Anderson.

@Trekkies: I am not making fun of you (much). I am a sci/fi geek myself. And sometimes a Trekkie.
