[(A/N): And there is no real need to jump over the candlestick, though if you want to, I'd not be the one to stop you.]
She stood stunned, the men in the room stood stock still. Sebastian came out to see what the matter was. Now if Darlence was good at anything- it was dealing with real fixes on the spot. Upon an instinct, she took the felt from the hatstand nearby and plonked it unceremoniously on his head, and she ran as fast as she could. Then collided with someone and fell back down.
A hand on her arm pulled her up and she stood unable to move.
'Yes, hold that girlie.' said Moriarty coming out,' I have wanted to meet her for a long time. But she's somehow always slipping off.'
Darlence did not know she could bite and bite so hard. She put down her head and bit the hand viciously. Struggling out of the loosened grip, she headed for the take off. A shot rang past her. Goodness! She ran past a man and snatched out the remote car-key from his pocket as numerous shots rang out. Suddenly, she felt hot iron pierce through her skin and flinched as blood started flowing out of her arm. Out of the building, she pressed the unlock key and unlocked whichever car got unlocked. She slammed in, got it moving in back gear and drove furiously out.
The car was out of the gate before the gatekeeper realised the driver was someone else. She pulled up her i-pad wincing with pain in her right shoulder and opened the GPS and tracked it to Mycroft's home, and followed the directions accurately, but she was driving a little shakily and could have sworn that she was very near getting caught .
'I wouldn't drive without a sound reason.' she told herself aloud to soothe her frayed nerves,' And I believe this is sound enough. Not that I couldn't get caught by these but I could get caught by the police as well. And that would prove very funny indeed. What am I saying? Mycroft please be at home or let Johnson be there [(A/N): Mycroft's manservant ]].'
After about some minutes, she reached the familiar part of the city and winded in an alley. Collecting her resources she got down from the car and ran out, hiding behind anything she could. She reached Mycroft's house and ran in blindly not realising that her pursuers had lost track in the alley itself.
For a second time she banged against someone and crashed back on the ground looking up with a martyr face. Looking at the face looking down at her she sighed and reclined on her side for a moment.
'Oh Dr. Watson! I'm so glad to see you!'
'What the hell's up?' asked John in mock anger,'Where have you been all- wait , is that blood on your shoulder?'
Darlence pushed herself up with her left hand, 'Trust me Doctor, I'll give you a full detailed description of my unarguably incorrigible conduct, and I've quite a lot to say for myself, as well as against. But now I have something else to see to.'
She rushed in with the doctor on her heels.
'Moriarty's men are following me.' she said rummaging the contents in Mycroft's private desk drawer.
'I say, won't Mycroft mind.'
'I daresay he would. Let him.'
'Why don't you call the police?'
'I was-.' she walked out of the building,' Thinking of exactly that .'
Out in the open, she raised her revolver and fired a couple of times and went back in. As she passed John, she said coolly,' On their way.'
The good doctor's mouth fell open. How on earth could two people be so alike? Had not Sherlock done the same thing in one early occassion? 'Like as two peas.' he muttered moving in to take the bullet wound in his care.
Darlence was slopped against the sofa exhausted and wincing badly in pain.
'Here, let me take care of that.'
'Its alright. Probably just a graze. The blood had stopped long ago.'
'Even so. Who's the doctor?'
'I'm fine, I'll not bleed to death or anything.'
'Your big brother once told me that bravery is by far the kindest word for stupidity.'
'He becomes very preachy at times, yes. But I'm fine.'
'Who's the doctor?'
'You.' Dace gave in.
After sometime, when her arm was well and truly trussed up, the sound of police horns made her jump up,' Let's see what the Inspector has got to say about the information I've got.'
The detective inspector as usual made his greetings to the two. But Darlence was busy scowling at Donovan and Anderson.
'Did they have to come?'asked Darlence.
'Oh don't mind them.' said the inspector,' But what have you got for us?'
Darlence whipped out her i-pad and the letter and smiled,' A lot.'
'Bags, yes.'
'And you will have to bail Sherlock out with a thousandfold apologies.' she said bitterly.
Lestrade smiled and whispered,'I can't wish for anything better. I hadn't wished to arrest him in the first place. But the facts were dead against him.'
'So or not- you know he does everything with reason.'
'Okay,okay- I'm sorry!'
'Well then- for the information.................'
