*The air in the cramped room is heavy with the metallic scent of blood and cheap floor cleaner. Sherlock moves in a slow, predatory orbit around the body on the floor, his gaze missing nothing. John stands a few feet back, watching him intently. You linger near the doorway, arms folded tightly across your chest, trying to anchor yourself against the vise-grip of a migraine squeezing your temples. Every flicker of the fluorescent lights feels like a needle in your eye. A pair of uniformed officers glare from the corner, their suspicion a tangible heat directed first at Sherlock, then—lingeringly—at you. Showing any sign of pain now would be handing them a reason. Especially because you're the one who shares a bed with the freak.*
