Martin was out cold for a lot longer than he would have anticipated. Of course, he woke up without much concept of time until he fully was lucid for a few days. He was set up in quite a nice flat. This Irene Adler really held up her end of the deal and he knew he had struck a deal with the devil, but he was loving it.

So on his second week in London, actually capable of moving about, he got himself a haircut and a shave. He now had the funds so he was able to buy a suit and look quite presentable. Nothing like his incarcerated self.

Then he found the guinea pig cafe.

She had to know that he had 'passed' since it was in the news, causing him to wait a while before coming out of hiding. Still, Martin grinned as he approached the tiny cafe, seeing that it was a bit different than what he had imagined from her description of it. He casually walked inside as if he were anyone else.

"Do I just take a seat anywhere or..."

She had of course heard about him dying. It was all over the news, the Surgeon dead. She didn't know how to process it, so many fucking deaths in her life. On one hand, he was a serial killer, but the Martin she knew was likable and a fantastic shag. But life went on, as it does.


It's a few weeks later when she hears that familiar voice and she stares for a moment at the man who has just come in. And then she's flying across the cafe to wrap her arms around him.
