I had to show off Holmes's special hammer power that I first mentioned in the first chapter, and you were the perfect target. :hehe

The end bit was actually something I only thought of while writing the end of the scene, one of those things that just felt right and had to be added. Originally you were just going to be strung up with the rest of them, but then I decided the message had to be sent in clear words and that was the perfect way to do it.
