Sherlock had wings!
Remember the third IOU, the graffiti on the wall, and there were wings in the background? Yeah, well, I finally figured it out! Sherlock has wings and simply flew off the roof! That's what the graffiti was trying to tell us!

Re: Sherlock had wings!
Right, but there you find only one wing. As he points out he may be on the side of the angels, but isn't one of them.

Re: Sherlock had wings!
Yes, I liked that idea. Two wings might have been sentimental, but one is just right.

Was he drinking Red Bull?

Re: Sherlock had wings!
That must have been why he crashed. His one wing left him flying round and round in circles until he dropped out of the sky!

I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Re: Sherlock had wings!
We have cried so much about this now it's finally time for a laugh. 
So how can we include the monkeys in the wings theory?

Re: Sherlock had wings!
I'm so glad we've figured it out now. Sherlock drank Redbull, got winged but crashed because he only got one wing. Winged monkeys brought him also back to life. Or something like that.
