I was very tired, but I knew that I had to stay awake. I
had to watch Holmes all the time. I decided to use
the cocaine he had given me. I added water to the
drug and put it into a medicine bottle. Then I
injected some into my arm.
It was time to look in on Holmes. As I opened the
door, I saw that his bed was empty. He was behind
the door. He tried to hit me, but the drug made me
quick, and I jumped out of the way. 'Watson!' he
cried. 'Dear fellow! I thought you were Moriarty. One
of his men is in your garden. We must go now! It is too
dangerous to stay here!'
