[Even through the semi-deliberate wall keeping him from the harsh reality of last night, Sherlock still takes a snapshot of the man in front of him from head to toe. Haggard, haunted, but not especially by the sight of Sherlock himself. Not his death that bothers him, then, but something else. Something related to the murders, but not the murdering itself.
The compulsion then? Seeing other people murder? Does he feel like perhaps he was controlled to kill in his past, is guilt setting in? Interesting. So John isn't here, he must have gone down to the fire station and they've missed one another. He could turn around now, but he wouldn't make it back there by lockdown. Talking to John, however, sounds a good idea and he doesn't have a tablet of his own to do it on. Yes, he says in his mind, you may call John and we will speak to him together.
Not that any of this makes it out of his mouth.
He ends up simply staring at Gabriel for nearly a full minute.
...It might be for the best if Gabriel calls John.]
