Holmes--that man there. I cannot explain it, but I sense violence about him. A willingness to kill. Perhaps, sometimes an eagerness.
I sense that too, Watson. But I also sense he would never harm an innocent. Never an innocent. Come with me, old friend. I expect an interesting conversation with that fellow. You have your revolver, Watson?
As always, Holmes.
Good old Watson! But it would be strange if it were needed with...what did she call him? "Jack?"
FrontRowJoe Wrote:Kinda surprised I didn't see this one, but I'd love to see Jack go up against or team up with Jack Reacher, from Lee Child's novels. They have some pretty strong similarities (living off the grid, following a self-defined code, a bit of a violent streak, etc.) but some really interesting differences as well (Reacher is more nomadic, much more conspicuous, more grounded in the worldly rather than the other-worldly). Might make for a very interesting story.
