Book 5: Another Way
Episode 22
© by William Arthur HolmesHe’d never seen Watson so animated. Giddy, almost. Killing people clearly agreed with him — or at least got him ready to start the day. Who needs coffee?
Dobie was not going to complain. The guy had saved their lives... again. He didn’t want to be beholden to him, but there was no getting around it. He would try not to judge, but wanted to take the high road. Do things the right way. Stop the endless cycle of retaliation, eye for an eye, tit-for-tat.
It bothered him that he was trying to solve the world’s problems peacefully and intelligently but, so far, his own troubles were being solved with a gun. Not his gun, but still…. Whatever happened to “not requiring anyone’s assassination?”
In another lifetime, Dobie could see himself being a lot like Watson, killing anyone who needed killing. He had a temper growing up, and did kill Serge in Phuket, but that was self-defense.
