[Arriving home from work later than he'd really like, Lestrade tosses his keys and the heavy folder tucked beneath his arm on to the coffee table, completely oblivious to the fact that his house has been broken into. After all, not everyone can be on top form when it's approaching one in the morning and the only things keeping you awake are a dangerous amount of caffeine and sheer strength of will.]
[Or, at least, that'll be his excuse when he finally does realize he has an unwelcome guest. For now, though, he's far too busy flopping on to the sofa and loosening the knot of his tie to notice.]
[Which is when Sherlock appears from his kitchen. Cup of tea in hand. Yes- he broke in and made tea. Why wouldn't he?
The first thing his eyes are drawn to (aside from the state of Lestrade's shoes, his route home clearly written on them) is naturally the file.] The Keeley murder? It was the aunt. You didn't pay attention to the passport photos. Not terribly difficult, I only had to see the news report to know.
[For one brief, heart-stopping moment Lestrade thinks he's being burgled. Properly. Perhaps by someone in a balaclava and holding a large hammer. He looks less than impressed to find it's only Sherlock armed with a mug of tea.] That's illegal, you know. Breaking and entering. If it wasn't more trouble than it's worth, I'd be within my rights to drag you down the station.
[And, God, does Lestrade know it. Which is why, with only a brief glower in Sherlock's direction, he grudgingly leans forward to flip open the folder on the table, flicking through the first few pages.] What was that about passports?
Voice testing! So sorry :@
