They arrived at their destination thirty minutes later.
The Holmes looked at it with equally appraising eyes. They were completely in sync with each other, silently working together. They exchanged a glance before entering the warehouse.

John looked at the Holmes with pleading eyes. He was tied to a chair and gagged in the centre of the room.
“John!” Avery said, with a teasing note. “Fancy seeing you here.”
“Took your time,” said a taunting voice from the shadows, and out stepped Jim Moriarty.
“Oh, hello,” Avery said. “I don’t think we’ve met.”
“Jim Moriarty,” Sherlock informed her.
Moriarty pulled a face. “I was going to tell her.”
“Hmm.” Avery said. “Nice to meet you.”
“This is the second time you’ve kidnapped John,” Sherlock said. “You’re lacking originality.”
Moriarty tilted his head. “Ah, but I wanted so badly to see you.”
Then he looked at Avery. “And you brought a friend.”
“My sister.”
“Your….sister?” Moriarty said, seemingly surprised for just a second. “My, my. How interesting.”
Sherlock frowned. “You mean you haven’t heard of her.”
Avery giggled. “Ah, I feel disappointed.”
Moriarty gave a small bow. “I’ll have to fix that.”
Avery shrugged. “How about you give me back John, then we can go for lunch?”
Jim smiled. “Ah, but I need John.” He gestured to Sherlock. “Only way to keep his attention, really.”
Avery gave a laugh, and Sherlock felt a bang of annoyance. Not this again.
Moriarty frowned at her. “Now, how did you keep yourself away from my informants?”
“She didn’t,” said yet another voice from the shadows. A woman came out, the same to have captured John earlier. “Kai,” she said, nodding to Avery.
“Rosie,” Avery nodded back, with the hint of a frown. “I thought you died. Or crashed. Or got arrested. Or…whatever.”
‘Rosie’ shrugged. “Nope. And my name is actually Danni. Danni Moriarty. Nice to be properly acquainted.”
