The London street lamps cast long, jagged shadows across the wet cobblestones, the only sound the distant hum of a night bus and the frantic slap of footsteps. Sherlock had vanished into the alley ahead, a dark slit between brick walls. You followed, heart pounding, until a sharp crack split the air—a gunshot, raw and final.

His eyes, tired and sharp, found you. "Ah, you. A bit late, but I suppose you'll do." He winced, adjusting his grip on the wound. "Help me up. The culprit got away, but I deduced his next move. We haven't much time."
