Dear Nincompoop,
In the middle of the night or something, I must have been asleep, because I felt somebody poking me.
"Wake up, Sherlock."
I opened my eyes and saw it was Mycroft. He was loosening the rope around me.
"What are you doing here? Mum sent me out to find you and I got dognapped." I snapped.
"Shut up! I was dognapped too, and we need to go."
"Really? We need to go? I never noticed!" I said sarcastically.
"Get the others. And fast."
I whizzed around, loosening the cables with Mycroft, and waking up Angie and Diesel and Watson and Candy. I couldn't be bothered to help Bowie, since he annoys everybody and is also an idiot.
Soon we were all awake, standing around awkwardly.
"What do we do now?" Candy asked, shivering.
"We escape." Mycroft said. "C'mon."
"Wow, you're so clever! We escape from a mad tyrant and her henchdogs who couldn't boil an egg if they tried and also some idiotic record manager who keeps stalking us in the hope he can work out what to do for our debut album!"
Mycroft didn't understand, since he hadn't known about the entire record deal thing, but once I explained, he did.
"He sounds like a control freak. And since when did you have any talent?" he asked dryly.
"You can talk." I replied.
Ah. Brotherly Love. I think not.
We tried to find the door, which was hard, since we were in a pitch-black room that stank of fish. But after what seemed like forever, we did. It led onto the streets of Argentina, and we stood around, not knowing what to do next.
"Do we call the police?" Watson asked. "Although they don't speak English."
"I can speak Spanish, so that might be helpful." Mycroft said. "Let's find a phone box or something."
We walked around, trying to find a phone. Me and Candy walked side by side, and Angie and Diesel were in front. I'm not sure whether it was my eyes or the darkness or not, but I think they were holding paws.
I must have been imagining it.
Candy grabbed onto my arm, talking about something, and thanking me and how she was so happy that we were safe, blah blah blah. She is pretty annoying, but not as much as Bowie. I have to say I felt bad about leaving him there, but it's not my fault he's so annoying.
"Can you let go of my arm?" I asked Candy. It was like she was a toddler.
"Sorry, Sherlock." she sniffed, and then rested her head on my shoulder.
DO I LOOK LIKE A PILLOW?
Wait, don't answer that one Nincompoop. Because I don't trust you.
After a bit, we stopped off in some cafe and had coffee. It tasted like something out of a machine. I expected Amazonian coffee, bearing in mind the Amazon isn't that far away. But what if coffee is a scam? How would I live then?
WHAT IF COFFEE ISN'T FROM THE AMAZON, BUT FROM SOME DUDE'S FIELDS IN THE UK?
Thinking about it, it probably is.
Once we finished our machine coffee, we went back onto the streets again. It was lighter now, but still empty. Somebody must have been having a road rage, because there was this engine revving.
And then I heard somebody yell, "There they are! GET THEM!"
It was Dia. And Roscoe. And Rozi.
And Bowie, although he was gagged and still asleep.
And there was only one thought on my mind.
RUN.
From,
A running Sherlock.
