Sherlock Holmes part one (warlock Holmes)

[spoiler]takes place before forsaken[/spoiler] [spoiler]sherlock Holmes guardian story. This one is kind of boring maybe but whatever. See what you think and I’ll post part two later. Meant to be longer but character limit. Also prepare for grammar/spelling errors [/spoiler] It was the middle of a peaceful night. The stars glowed in the sky, the calm light of the streetlights lead me Home to my apartment. It was peaceful walking home to Baker Street, I dragged my battered armored body across the sidewalks. Recently I was doing a strike for the vanguard, but only two of the team where there. The third never showed up. He also happened to be my flat mate. Of course I will have to ask him where he was in times of peril, but I just hope he hasn’t got on the wormspore again. When I got to the apartment at 221b I could see the dark shadows of my flat mate pacing back and forth. His name was Sherlock Holmes, a warlock and a awoken. He was tall with pale skin and dark hair, like the feathers of a raven. “Where were you Holmes?” I asked as I push open the door to our shared flat. “Busy” Came the typical response from the warlock. “To busy for the vanguard are you?” “I’m sure the vanguard had enough power. I heard you where caydes favorite titan. We have a client” and it was only then that I realize that there was another person in our house. A man sat in the chair that our clients usually sat in. He was wearing a orange neon construction outfit, his hard hat in his lap. “Who is this mr Holmes?” The construction worker asks. “This is John Watson. A trusted friend of mine” Sherlock said, plopping down in a plush chair and lighting a pipe. “Please tell us your story from the beginning. I’m sure Watson would like to hear it.” I sat down in a chair next to Sherlock Holmes and looked at my the client. “Hello mr Watson” he began “my name is mr. Jason. I work for a construction company, we build guns. Big guns. So when them aliens come back, we can blast ‘em out of the sky. Anyways last night me and my co worker billy got dem late shift. Shift was o’re and I was packing up and bout to leave. Billy was checking on the turret when I heard a loud thunk. Next thing I know billy is dead. I called the company and they quickly cleaned up, calling it a technical accident. But I swear I saw another figure. He was killed I telling ya” “Thank you. Me and Watson will investigate this case for you.” Holmes said while waking the client out. After he closed the door he turned to me and said, “A murder. Boring. What’s not boring though, why would future war cult want to sweep this under the rug, murder or accident.” “How do you know it’s future war cult? He only said he works for a company, not a war cult?” “Watson sometimes I believe the whole world is oblivious to the obvious. It was simply his mannerism that supports my claim, how they will ‘blast dem aliens out of the sky’ sounds like the war cult to me. Plus the inside of his helmet said the date and the creator, a factory that future war cult recently purchased supply’s from.” “You never cease to amaze me sherlock” “Amaze, it’s just observing what usually isn’t observed. Tomorrow early, meet me.” He said before walking to his room. “Why weren’t you at the strike tonight” I called to him “Strikes are boring” he said before closing the door The next day I woke up to loud violin music. I walked downstairs to find Holmes playing the violin. He was Wearing a black warlock trench coat, and a scarf wrapped around his neck. His hand cannon was hidden but I knew it was there. “Ready Watson?” He asked “It’s three in the morning Holmes, what are we doing?” I replied sleepily “We are on a case. The construction site will be closed at this early time, we can investigate the case. Come now Watson, mrs Hutson made tea. Get your coat and your armor.” “Wait sherlock” I said reaching for a grey deerstalker hat “wear the hat, the children love it” i say handing the warlock the hat. He just sighs while putting it on, and his violin down. “I’ll be outside waiting” Sherlock said. After I got ready i meet Sherlock outside and the two of us walked to the construction site. It was a calm dawn, the air was crisp and it was completely silent. “Sherlock, why is it we are doing this at three in the morning” “If future war is hiding what truly happened they would never allow a detective on the premise. We must operate under the cover of night” he said. As we approched the site i could see the cranes blocking the view of the beautiful city above. Holmes ducked under a keep out sigh written on police tap and i followed him until we arived on th crime scene, i was disappointed. All the evedence was cleened up, not even a chalk marks for where the body landed. “What now Sherlock? Theres no evedince.” I sid tried and dissapointed “Oh watson it’s elementary” he says pulling a magnafine glass. “The small bloodstain here, the body was dragged this way. And the chalk, little marks of chalk. Whoever cleaned this up might have wanted for me to find this, its so easy” “I dont understand how do you know this?” I ask “Simple, observe the small blood tracks, the pieces of chalk, observe” he says pulling out a chalk piece and drawing on the ground in a shape of the body “why dont you go uo to that ledge there, where the victim was apparently pushed” sherlock says. I walked up to the giant ledge, looking down at the warlock, sketching a outline of a body on the ground. When Sherlock finely done drawing he walked up behind me. “Your observations amaze me sherlock, but how are we going to find out if he was pushed or fell?” I asked “Do you have your ghost?” Sherlock asked “Yes of course I do but what does that have anything to do with this?” I said a little annoyed. But then I felt his hands push on my armor and I fell. I was shocked and didn’t have time to react as the pavement got closer and closer... “Guardian Down!” My ghost cried out. Soon after I was revived, getting up from the spot on the pavement. “Brilliant example Watson. You showed perfectly a example of how the victim was pushed” Sherlock says “You pushed me sherlock. Why the bloody hell did you push me!” I exclaim “You asked me a question and answer. Look around you, you landed right in the chalk. If you jumped you would have landed somewhere else. You can try this experiment with a dummy but we didn’t have one around so I used the next best thing” “So I’m your experiment now. Don’t do that again” “Why not. It was a perfectly reasonable situation” “Reasonable! I’m a soldier, I served in the red war, don’t push me again.” “You where in the medical unit.” “Which is even worse. I can break every bone in your body while naming them” “Watson, that’s beside the point we know the victim was pushed now” “How will that help? Why would someone kill a construction worker?” “It’s simple Really, come along Watson” [spoiler][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/248763657/0/0]part 2[/url][/spoiler]

    This was very good.. a few typos here and there. But good! I enjoyed it, got me to giggle. I really like this line: “Which is even worse. I can break every bone in your body while naming them”
