“I know we’re supposed to be like ‘we don’t need you, we’re not dum-dums’ or whatever, but I actually think it’s super cool that we’re getting consultants on this case.”

Sherlock tilted his head to the side. “You must be Detective Peralta.”

Jake Peralta’s smile widened. “You’re Sherlock Holmes, if I’m not mistaken – and you’ll see for yourself that I rarely am.”

The two men stared at each other. Then they looked down at the reports in their hands, which were crumpled and stained and a testimony to both detectives’ carelessness when it came to official papers.

“I’m afraid the reports are suffused with scientific jargon,” Sherlock said.

“Okay, you literally sound like someone from Harry Potter and on top of that you use words like ‘suffused’,” Jake looked up from his report, “It’s a good thing I’m fluent in Holt, otherwise I wouldn’t have understood a word you just said. But yeah. Lots of science here.”

“That is why I brought Watson along – she’s a doctor,” Sherlock replied.

Jake nodded. “Yep, I’ve heard of Doctor Watson. My partner on this case is Detective Amy Santiago, and she’s pretty darn good at science too.”

An amused half-smile tugged at the corner of Sherlock’s mouth. “I think we’ll make a good team, Detective Peralta.”

Jake smiled back at him. “No shit, Sherlock.”
