Chapter 4 – Rescue Mission


The two got to the pool quickly. Sophia hid her bike. Sherlock went to the back entrance. There were no civilians here, which as odd for the weather. True the pool was old, but it showed no signs of giving in.

“Alright Kid” Sophia said “Let’s go!”

The two entered the building. It was crawling with lesser members of the Web. They didn't matter all that mattered was the phone and John.



Sherlock’s phone was heavily guarded. In a safe, surrounded by guards. Too many for Sherlock to handle. He needed to distract them

He fired his gun and the guards began to scramble looking where the bullet came from.

I have 1.2 minutes before they figure out it was a distraction Sherlock thought, heading to the safe. He knew what the code would be.

1 - 9 - 8 – 9

Two pieces of nostalgia. What luck.

Sherlock didn't have time to think anything else, the guards came bounding back. Sherlock fired. Guards hit the floor.

“Kid?”

“Yeah, Spitfire?” Sherlock pocketed the phone and kept his gun out.

“I've found where they've been keeping John”



Sherlock and Sophia were standing at opposite doors to where John and Moran were.

“On the count of three, we storm in” Sherlock said

“Alright then” Sophia smiled, “and Kid?”

“Yes?”

“See you in hell”

“One, two THREE!

They busted down the doors and pulled out their guns.

“Alright listen up!” Sophia yelled, keeping the criminal’s attention as Sherlock ran to free John, “You have nowhere to run, The Scotland Yard is here and has is place surrounded! So surrender and you will only have to serve a term in prison. It might be the rest of your life, but it is better than the alternative”

Sophia tossed a gun to John. Moran made a beeline out of there.

“Stop right there!” Sophia aimed her gun at Moran, “You are not making out of here scot free!”

Moran only laughed, “Yes I am, and you three won’t be around to stop me anymore!” He them pointed to something on the wall. A bomb, the pool. They were really pilling on the nostalgia from the first encounter with Moriarty.

Moran pushed a button, “Give James by regards when you see him in hell”, he mocked before sprinting off.

The bomb went off. John was able to get out of the area, thanks to Sophia shoving him through a hole in the wall, appearing after the explosion. Sophia was about to follow him when a ton of debris began to fall where Sherlock was.

“Sherlock” Sophia yelled. Without thinking, Sophia began to run towards him and jumped. Before Lestrade pulled him away, John saw Sophia tackle Sherlock; wrapping herself around him. It looked like Sherlock had also wrapped his arms around the back of Sophia head. They were then buried in the debris.

“No!” John yelled that one word, he knows not how many times, running to the rubble that, only a few seconds ago, was where two of the most important people in his recent life were.

Lestrade placed a comforting had on John’s shoulder. People began to dig through the rubble, searching for two bodies. John must have been crying, as Lestrade was saying something. Not that John could hear what. Not over the mantra that was echoing in John’s head.

NotAgainNotAgainNotAgainNotAgainNotAgainNotAgainNotAgainNotAgain…
