“Your haircut, the way you hold yourself, says military. The conversation as you entered the room — said trained at Bart’s, so army doctor. Obvious. Your face is tanned, but no tan above the wrists — you’ve been abroad but not sunbathing. The limp’s really bad when you walk, but you don’t ask for a chair when you stand, like you’ve forgotten about it, so it’s at least partly psychosomatic. That suggests the original circumstances of the injury were probably traumatic — wounded in action, then. Wounded in action, suntan — Afghanistan or Iraq.”
You’re under stress right now and your hand is perfectly steady. You’re not haunted by the war, Dr Watson. You miss it. Welcome back.
John peering down your Dash.
AHH! HIDE ALL THE SMUT!
BURN ALL THE PORN
HIDE THE RIDING CROP
