200 word story

Detective John Watson walks down the ally towards the sergeant of police.

"So what do we have here sir?"
"Well It appears to be a burglary and a homicide. The maid was working late when she saw the burglar, unfortunately he saw her too and now we have a sad family and a stolen ring."
"Do we have any wittinesses?"
"Yes we have two. A elderly woman who I don't think actually saw anything and a small boy with a fear of spiders"
"Not the most helpful group of witnesses"

A rattle of metal comes from the building above, a sinister stranger looks at the two then runs.

"Get em"

The two climb the fire escape ladder then chase the stranger. Leaping building by building Watson finally tackles the stranger to the ground with a thud.

"Good work Watson"

Watson pulls the stranger up the then the stunning golden band and a small hand gun falls out of the strangers pocket.

"looks like we have a our criminal Watson."

Then Watson quickly cranks of the handcuffs onto the criminal.









A stolen ring, fear of spiders, and a sinister stranger.
