Summary: John observes Sherlock gathering information and realizes that their hunt started.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gregory, his constables and Simpson lead the way, moving away from King's Pyland and Sherlock and John are following them from a distance.
Sherlock observes the environment, taking in the paths and wide fields of moor around the stable.
It is no very far from the stable when Sherlock suddenly leaves the path to wander directly through the field.
John blinks, but then follows after him and he can see the herd of cattle grazing in front of them.
Sherlock walks up to an old man sitting on a stone near the herd and they are already deep in conversation when John reaches them.
"Started quite suddenly, sir, don't know how many there are," the man says to Sherlock, pointing at a few animals near them.
John immediatly sees that the animals are limping, some worse than others.
"Must be the holes all around here," the man continues to chatter. "Also warned that Stroker fellow about it, no sense in getting those nice horses hurt."
Sherlock observes the animals for a moment longer, then turns around and hurries back to the path. John mutters a good bye to the old man and follows him.
Gregory must have noticed them missing, as he and the others have stopped and are waiting for them.
Sherlock does not say a word, but is busily tapping away on his phone.
John also sees how he takes out the photo of Stroker he got earlier from the wife and he sends an image of it to someone.
Sherlock already has an idea, he is already gathering all the hints and information he needs.
John can feel the excitement running through his veins and he walks forward until he is at Sherlock's side.
They share a knowing look, share a grin and then continue on.
The hunt is on.
