NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES PART 24 CHISLEHURST MURDERS

HOLMES SHERLOCK MURDERS All was silent Had I insulted the man I couldn't tell, But the pack of animals were holding their breathe that was quite certain. I was tired enough to be unable to deal with them now so I drew my revolver to save argument which was probably not a good idea as the revolting chap saw it as a challenge and leapt right across at me and the gun went off accidentally leaving him with a hole in his chest where I do believe his heart should have been. The crowd gasped before launching a full on attack. Thank God for Maria who stood up and launched a tirade of threats at them. Now get out. She shrieked in a voice that surprised me. I'll tell em all your dirty secrets I mean it. They retreated outside. Standing I let the dead chap who'd been laying almost on top of me slump to the floor. Maria had been sprayed with her ancestors blood spoiling her pretty coat, But her face stared down at the body with contempt and there was not a speck of pity in her eyes. Are you alright Dear? Asked Watson. She nodded We need to leave. She whispered imploring him with her eyes as though she were afraid not for herself but for Him.
