Call it Proof

Mary caught me up before I had got very far. "Wait, John." She tugged the handkerchief from my sleeve. "You've got blood on your ear."

I didn't remember the blow, but I felt the sting as she began to dab at the injury. "It's all right," I told her, remembering Moriarty's final words. I took the handkerchief from her and stuffed it into a pocket. "A little blood might convince the judge that I wasn't just lollygagging around out there."

"What were you doing?" Her patience was wearing very thin.

I hugged her. "Trying to make an end of this."
