Elementary Fic: Dimwitted, Defined
This is a 195 word Elementary drabble for the Weekend Challenge at the
1_million_words ENJOY!!
There were various reasons why Sherlock rarely accepted cases outside of his and Watsons’ consulting work for the police, but occasionally they would take on a non-NYPD investigation.
The client was usually a friend of a friend, or even a former client who needed his help, but the one thing they all had in common was that the cases were too intriguing to be believed.
Unfortunately, when Joan took on a case, it was usually because the person played on her empathetic nature and that was proving to be the situation with Jeffrey Kim.
By the time Jeffrey was finished his rather ridiculous story, he and Watson had exchanged enough glances that it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone what they thought of his case.
As luck would happen, Mr. Kim needed it spelled out.
Sherlock leaned forward slightly to emphasize the importance of his question. “Mr. Kim, are you suggesting that your coworkers Merry Garland and Virginia Gonzalez both received raises while you didn’t because they’ve been replaced by clones? “
At Jeffrey Kim’s outraged nod, Sherlock pointedly turned to Joan. “This is why you aren’t allowed to pick out our cases anymore.”
