Yeah. He's my partner. We solved crimes together back in London.

[heroproceeding]

well that explains a lot.

[ Is that a poke at something ELSE that happened lately?

Maybe. ]

you've got an interesting choice in friends John.

[jumpthegun]

[John is ignoring your poking. Yep.]

I'm never bored.

[heroproceeding]

THAT'S an understatement.

you already request something from Eve?

[ For the awesome bullet times. Not to be confused with the Matrix where they actually miss the mark. ]

[jumpthegun]

Yes. And just because he'll be a prick about it: we get shot at a fair bit. Most of the time people miss. I've usually got my own weapon with me, too. Makes things a bit easier to deal with problems.

[heroproceeding]

that doesn't surprise me. I don't think you'd be here talking to me otherwise.

[ Well, unless he died, too... Somehow, that doesn't seem like it would be in his best interest to question that. ]

but yeah. I hear you on that one. what I would do to have my sword around here right about that. you can only do so much with improvising sometimes.

[ Not that he doesn't appreciate what he has. He's not sure if he'd be able to wield the buster, too, now that he thinks about it... ]

[jumpthegun]

More guns, fewer swords. Although there was that Chinese circus gang.

[heroproceeding]

Chinese circus... what now?

[jumpthegun]

We were hired for a case dealing with someone breaking into a bank and spray painting a symbol across one of the top bloke's office. That led into a whole mess where we had to deal with a crime syndicate that was dealing in stolen antiquities. In my world, China's a country that's very difficult to travel from. The syndicate was using a circus as a front for their operations. It meant that the people part of the gang had some... interesting skill sets. One of them included swordsmanship.

[heroproceeding]

interesting huh. I think you were going for lethal there buddy. but I take it you got the better of them in the end.

[ He wouldn't be here telling the story otherwise.. ]

so you and him are like mercenaries then? I always pegged you as just a doctor. you know. not that there's anything wrong with that. shiva do we need guys like you around here.

[jumpthegun]

Not quite. Sherlock's a consulting detective. I'm his assistant. I was in the Army before that, but I was a member of the combat corps, not the medical corps. Acted as a field medic for my division, but I was part of the combat operations.

Anyway, he helps out the police when they need it for their murder investigations. We take other cases that clients bring us, usually things the police don't want anything to do with, or missing items, or weird things they don't understand, like the bank.

We don't take any case that comes our way, only things that he thinks are interesting and where we're reasonably sure our client's not guilty of any wrong-doing in the case.

[That had been one of John's personal stipulations. He's... not entirely sure if that had factored into Sherlock's assessments or if things had just shaken out that way.]
