John got up and paced one more time, not that there was any easy way out of here. The old well walls were mossy and damp even if, thankfully there wasn\u2019t much water left.<\/p>\n
And of course there was no mobile signal.<\/p>\n
\u201cForty three,\u201d said Sherlock.<\/p>\n
John looked at him. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve paced the space 43 times. Find anything new?\u201d Sherlock was perched on a rock, hands steepeled at his mouth. At least the cut on his forehead had stopped bleeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Sherlock, I haven\u2019t.\u201d John sighed and leaned against the damp wall. The sun was setting and he wondered just how dark it would get in here.<\/p>\n
Sherlock lapsed into silence for a few minutes before speaking again. \u201cTell me a secret, John.\u201d<\/p>\n
John blinked. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe may as well pass the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
John ran a hand through his hair. \u201cUh, I don\u2019t know. Why don\u2019t you go first?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sherlock stood and walked over to him, crowding John against the stone. John swallowed. \u201cSherlock?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis stone above your head is loose. I may be able to climb.\u201d<\/p>\n
John let out a breath. \u201cAnd maybe break your neck this time. Just wait, if there isn\u2019t help by morning, then I\u2019l let you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine.\u201d Sherlock tucked John under the Belstaff. \u201cBut there\u2019s no reason for you to freeze.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d said John, shaking his head. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
