Because Mrs. Hudson, for whatever reason, is at a crime scene. A murder scene, no less. (inspired by a oneshot I read) Maybe she was there when it happened. Maybe it's a friend who lived nearby. Maybe it's something sort of crack, like delivering Sherlock lunch(NOT his housekeeper or mother!) because he forgot and John's worried too. It's up to you.
Sherlock doesn't like the idea of dear Mrs. Hudson seeing bodies, despite keeping thumbs and heads in the fridge. It's *different* when it's someone who's just been murdered in cold blood, lying there in the street, quite a disturbing mess. And while he may not be quite sure why, some sort of emotion(he'd call it empathy or concern if he weren't a "high-functioning sociopath") makes the idea of his landlady having nightmares from this sort of thing very very not good.
You can turn this whole thing around if you want. Maybe it's nothing she hasn't seen before. You might go with the obvious Concerned!Sherlock and 221b fluff. I'm just proud of you if you take on this promt, dear writer. Go forth and be inspired!
(Oh, and bonus points if characters like John, Lestrade, or other members of the police force get some actual speaking roles, but it's not necessary if you only want to focus on Sherlock and Mrs. Hudson)
