Summary: When John goes on holiday, Lestrade learns that being Sherlock Holmes' sidekick is a very tough job.
Author's notes: Inspired by this entry to John's blog and the comments made in it. The story takes place post - The Great Game and near the beginning of Scandal in Belgravia. As usual, thanks to my mum and sister-in-law, the kick ass nurses who let me ask them weird medical questions. I'd like to apologize to the warehouses of London. I'm sure far fewer nefarious activities go down in them than you'd think from how often my villains use them.


"Is this what it's like being John?"
