drabble for takadainmate: mathematics runs in the family

Title: mathematics runs in the family
Requester: takadainmate
Series: GetBackers / Sherlock Holmes
Requested Topic: Can I have a little something crossover for a change? I have a sudden urge for GetBackers (Ban and Ginji) and Sherlock Holmes (Holmes and Watson) interaction...
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/589115.html

"And so we have to go to England?" Ban asked.

Makubex nodded.

"To Sussex."

Nod.

"To collect a battered dispatch-box from a retired pair of bee-keeping gentlemen living on the Sussex Downs and bring it back here."

"It contains certain mathematical documents on the binomial theorem belonging to an ancestor of mine."

Ban sighed. He looked up at the ceiling. He looked at Ginji. He looked at Makubex. "All right. The GetBackers never refuse a mission. But I just want one thing put in the contract."

"What's that?"

"That when this all goes horribly, horribly wrong -- I told you so."

"an ancestor of mine". This idea makes me squee without measure.

[incandescens]

It came to me partway through the drabble, and then it was so obvious!

Heehee!

[incandescens]

Thank you!

This makes me giggle so much.

If you were further inspired, a set of linked drabbles -- of the resulting mayhem -- might be highly entertaining. >_>

Excellent, and so noted, if anything comes to mind.
