Buddy Cop AU meme

You're two renegade cops with nothing to lose. A loose cannon who plays by his own rules and a tight cannon who plays by everyone else's rules. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Shit's getting real? You better believe it. Shit's always real when you two are on the beat. This, is the Buddy Cop AU post.

Rules:

1) You're a character posting in a meme (blank or not, don't care) with your character's name and fandom in the subject line.
2) They're a character replying to your comment.
3) YOU FIGHT CRIME!

For the creatively stunted, I do have some prompts if ya need 'em.
1. Out On The Beat
Out on patrol in your squad vehicle of choice or on foot. Looking out for action, be it someone stealing from a little old lady or a gang getting ready to beat some poor schmo up.

2. No Time for Backup!
Looks like they have you surrounded! It's a firefight/fistfight, and you two are in the middle of it! What are you gonna do? Run for it? Call for backup? Or go down in a blaze of glory? Or none of the above.

3. Next Time, I'll Have Your Badge!
One (or both) of you just got chewed out by the chief because your methods are reckless and unreliable! Seriously, you killed at least 40 people AND ran your squad car into their hideout! Who do you think you are? Also, you're off the case! What do you do now?

4. We're Going Undercover
No, not like that, you crazy smut writers. But, you're going to need to get the drop on these crooks, or get some info out of them. Luckily, you're a master of disguise. Yup, you two are going to have to dress up and act like them or something along those lines in order to get the info you want!

5. Looks Like He Was Murdered Over Here
Man, fuck those detectives. They aren't finding anything important. No, you and your buddy could probably figure this out just by looking about the crime scene. From the bloody outline on the wall to the lab in the basement, you probably have this covered. Just remember, don't touch anything.

6. A Good Ol' Fashioned Game Of--
Good Cop, Bad Cop. You finally got the lead you're been waiting on, and all that's left is to get the info you need out of them. Thus, you and your friend get the opportunity to interrogate the poor sucker and make sure that they talk. In order to do that, one of you might have to become a little unstable, and the other may have to act as if they're trying to comfort them. Don't forget to ask, WHERE ARE THEY

7. Another Day Done
Welp, you two are officially off duty. What're you going to do now? Go out for drinks? Go looking for trouble now that you're not restricted by the law? Or maybe talk about the tough day you had of foiling evil. Doesn't matter, now you have the whole night to think about it.

8. Wildcard
Mix/match or make your own. Anything goes!

[ooc: BASIL!! <3333 I will totally pretend this is a Dawson account if you want? Or regular human Watson running into talking Sherlock type mouse, EITHER WORKS.]

[omg so many excellent choices, and both have potential for hilarity. i think the last one would be very entertaining for both of us]

[I have no problem with playing out both of them in two threads as well. BUT heres Watson to start at least.]

It was a search around where the body was dumped to find the actual crime scene. The dumpster wasn't the place, according to Sherlock, and he'd run off to find the real one. Leaving Watson standing around, wondering if he should be looking too.

At least he could look at the body, maybe piece some clues together himself? "Right, sure, like you're the detective," he chastises himself as he gets down next to the body on the pavement. Gunshot victim, two in the chest, one in the head. All Watson could deduce was that it was probably some kind of professional hit...

What was that mouse doing near the body? "Hey, go on, shoo," he tries to backhand it away. "This one ain't for you, mate."

"Well, it certainly isn't for you either," Basil muttered, rolling his eyes at the human's pathetic attempts to deduce the crime. Clearly this was the work of a professional, but it wasn't a professional hit. If he could get close enough to examine the wound, he might be able to determine whether or not this crime in the human world had any sort of connection to the crimes he had been investigating as of late. They all had taken place in the same rough area, and this sadly passed on human had been the pet of only eye-witness.

"I need to get a closer look," he said, scrabbling up. This would be much easier if there weren't so many humans

Stunned, Watson can only watch with his jaw hanging as the mouse climbs up the body and seems to be inspecting the wounds?? He had to be hearing things.

"I'm hearing things," so says Captain Obvious. Oh no, was it the psychosomatic trauma again? Was the limp coming back? Steady, Watson old boy, steady.

"Did...did you just....talk?" He lowers his voice so the police nearby don't think he's crazy.

He is totally crazy to be talking to a mouse.

"Yes, and more eloquently than you appear to be doing right now," Basil shot at Watson without looking away from the body. "Definitely from a handgun but what type? I can't match the bullets... Would you be able to find that out?" He turned and looked up at the tall human.

Good. Night. This mouse talks like Sherlock.

He really has lost it.

"Er, I...its a .45..." Why was he encouraging this hallucination with his knowledge of bullets and bullet holes?? "They, er, that is Sherlock said it was a .45..."

"Hm, so it's the same as the one used in the other cases," Basil strokes his chin in thought. That didn't mean much, of course, but it could prove useful. Some pick up habits of their pets, after all. Picking up a preference in weapon wasn't the oddest thing he'd have heard.

"But why attack a human? And the human of the only eye-witness at that?" He was muttering to himself, completely forgetting that Watson was there. "Obviously they wanted to scare them into being quiet, but bringing a human into it? That's just not done."

"Wait, other ca--what other cases?? There's other cases??" Watson is practically on his hands and knees now, trying to get information out of this mouse. Good thing Scotland Yard is completely around the other side of the building chasing Sherlock.

John clears his throat, trying to make himself heard. When that doesn't work, he picks up said mouse by the tail to put him in his hand, "Excuse me, if I could have a moment of your time, at the risk of sounding insane, what. other. cases.?"

"Hm?" Basil looks up, just remembering the presence of another being. "Oh, not human cases, no. But they tie in with the cases I am currently investigating. This human was the pet of the sole eye witness to one of them, which is what drew my attention." He gives a gesture implying that obviously that was the situation here. "A .45 has been used in all the cases so far, but the victims have never been people of consequence," he adds, musing out loud. He glances at the body. "What about this human? What was did it do?"

"Not human cases..." Watson says, almost more to himself. If not human than what? "You mean animals? Animals have been getting killed by the same person?"

John looked down at the body, trying to remember what Sherlock had muttered before he left. "He was a banker...bad marriage recently or divorce, something like that."

"Person or persons," Basil said still deep in thought. "With this latest case, it would appear as though the one responsible would have a human accomplice, something unheard of."

A banker with a bad marriage... "Yes, that fits with the accounts of the eye-witness, they said their pet had been unusually sad of late due to their mate leaving them."

"And you're going to find them?" This was all too bizarre. Surely a detective mouse had to be the strangest thing Watson has ever seen.

And he's seen Sherlock come home with a harpoon, completely drenched in pigs blood.

"Wait, you have an eyewitness??" That could be useful. Maybe.

"Of course," Basil gave a contempous huff. "This victim is the pet of one russell hound named Jasper." He looked at this body. "Of course, with his pet having been killed, it's unlikely Jasper will speak up."

"...of course." Okay, Watson is going to roll with this till he can figure out if he's crazy or not. "So what now? Look for clues? Shake down suspects?"

"I suspect I will need to try to find out, from what I already have, if there is anything else that would connect this crime to the ones already being investigated apart from my eye-witness," Basil stated calmly.

Something that connects them? Watson leans over the body and pulls out a rose that had been dropped under it. "Something like this?"

Basil eyes widened. "Yes! Exactly like that. Red, the preferred colour, same scent," he ran a finger along a petal, licking it and pondering for a moment. "Same slightly sweetened taste."

Ugh, he's tasting it? Somehow Watson is not surprised.

"But flowers are a dime a dozen, how are you going to track down someone through this one?"

"Flowers may be a dime a dozen, but the way in which this one is sweetened suggests that it comes from one of the more popular markets of London," he moves his mouth quickly, still tasting the after effect. "Add to this that this particular type of rose is only sold in two of those markets, then we have a smaller net to cast."

Watson just had a brilliant idea.

Okay, it was a ridiculous idea but an idea nonetheless. If he helped this mouse find the killer, theoretically, they might find them before Sherlock did.

"Which two markets?" he asks, standing up. "If they're not far, I could grab a cab..."
