[ Bristol, eh? It cheers him a little, to be under fire alongside a fellow countryman.
Testing the improvised launcher without its ammo, Sherlock ducks again as the next blast hits the building with a pitched wail of sound, fists pressed to his ears. ]
I will keep him distracted, [ he instructs, shaking off the ringing in his ears and stuffing a few more brick chunks into his coat pockets, ] then you flank him and smash that trumpet.
[ Not waiting for assent (who has the time?), he scrambles out from cover to close a bit of distance and fling the hard missile right for the bugler's broad shoulder. Sherlock's aim is true, if a little high: the brick grazes his tender ear in passing, and the next blast goes low with his flinch, scoring a jagged break across the concrete floor instead of through bank employees.
Grabbing his bleeding ear, lowering the trumpet to his side, the man gets another brick properly to the shoulder this time. He swings wide with a snarl, sighting Sherlock as he rabbits with a wave of his handkerchief. Yes, just this way! ]
ty tyyyyy!
