"Kuryakin, Mr. Holmes. My real name is Illya Kuryakin."
Holmes leaned back in his chair, and took one of his personal journals from the bookshelf. It was marked with the letter "K".
"Ah yes, here it is. Kuryakin, Illya. Of Scottish descent, distinguished conduct in Her Majesty's Ultra-Secret Service. Recently retired, whereabouts unknown."
"Nowadays, I own a small bakery shop in Little Storping in-the-Swuff, Mr. Holmes. Recently, certain curious events have led me to believe that my anonymous existence may be threatened. Every day, someone comes in and orders a half-dozen Napoleons. Mind you, it's someone different each time, but the order is always the same, six Napoleons. And every day, I find each of them smashed on the ground in the alley behind my shop."
Holmes rubbed his fingers together. "Have you considered changing your recipe?" he mused. "I've written quite an exhaustive monograph on the subject of pastry creams that may interest you."
"Yes." I concurred. "It completely changed my appreciation of puff pastries altogether."
Mr. Kuyakin stared blankly at Holmes and myself, then rose from his chair. "You came highly recommended to me, Mr. Holmes. I expected a little more of you." With that, he took his leave.
"Oh dear, Holmes. He looked insulted. I wonder if he thinks you didn't want to take on this matter. Did you, old boy?"
"Of course not, my dear fellow. Mr. Kuryakin's problem is elementary. Any ruddy English schoolboy could easily solve it. I merely wanted to taste these scrumptious samples he left behind. And just in time, too. I think I hear Mrs. Hudson coming up the stairs with our afternoon tea."
Indeed, shortly afterwards, Mrs. Hudson emerged into Holmes' study with a tray bearing our high tea.
"There you are, gentlemen. Oh, Mr. Holmes, there's a Mr. Robert Vaughn downstairs to see you."
"Please inform our guest that we will meet with him directly after tea, Mrs. Hudson. Oh look here, Watson, this one has a custard filling, my favourite!"
Cache is a camo painted vitamin bottle. No writing implement, so BYOP please.
