To manipulate you. It's a drug found in large quantities in the body when a person is in love--theoretically one would think it could be used to artificially stimulate the effect. Unfortunately, it's also found in high amounts in people with schizophrenia, so one might conclude that someone is trying to dose you to make you feel like you're in love, regardless of any schizophrenia you might develop. I recommend keeping it out of Toby's reach.

I have no idea. Perhaps we should test your flat for any of a number of neurotoxins? If Toby's only just showing symptoms today, either any exposure you've gotten has been slim or the whatever-it-is has only just been introduced.
*looks around*
I'd recommend calling anyone you know with hasmat equipment and testing facilities. And finding a hotel or something. Just in case we do find something.

Good. It should be easy to check your flat--that's what chemical detectors are for.
*ironic smile*
Good thing I take my coffee black.

No longer than five hours, I expect. Oh, don't worry, I'm sure they won't move your things around too much.
I'd have them check Irene's room and anywhere where Jim went, especially.

Then there's a possibility he may have drugged anything. I have to get some things from my flat.
*he dashes from the flat without another word and takes a cab home leaving Molly alone for a few minutes*

sits down next to Toby and pets him I'm really confused. Why does this happen to me? This is so typical. I can never be lucky. Toby looks at her as if he would say: Don't pity yourself, do something. You're right, Toby. I should do something, but I don't know what. I hope you didn't get poisoned. Maybe we should go to the vet. I think we should. After Sherlock is done I'll take you to the vet right away.

*Sherlock comes barging in without even knocking and begins setting up his microscope and other equipment on the dining table*
If we get samples of everything, we can test for foreign chemicals. I hesitate to use the term poison as phenylethylamine is a naturally occurring chemical. Also, do bear in mind that this is just precautionary and not necessarily proof that something's gone wrong. But with Moriarty in the picture, I'd like to be certain.
Plus it gives me something to do.
*pets Toby and since he's shedding, takes the fur and looks at it under the microscope*

*looks up from the microscope*
Considering that we only thought to check because he likes me so much he knocked a cup of boiling coffee on my foot, I thought it might be a good idea to check. Either that or he's just extremely attached to me for some reason and your milk's gone sour.
