'A country rain on a city street...' Bittersweet.

Across the road. The voice said in my ear. Follow him.

"Ok." I muttered. I could feel my gun press into my back.

Wait.

I crossed the street, and followed the man into a back alley.

Here. Now. Moriarty's voice said.

I pulled the pistol out of my waistband, screwed on the silencer, and took aim.

The man fell without a sound. He had died the moment the bullet had entered his skull.

Carry on walking. I did so.

Good. Now, get the tube. I turned into the underground station.

I stood in the train, despite there being lots of empty seats.
I knew the drill.
I got off at the next station, and switched trains.
I could've got back in half the time it took, but I was checking I hadn't been followed.

Hey. Moriarty obviously wasn't talking to me.

Hi.. Came Seb's voice.

I ripped the ear piece out of my ear, so I wouldn't have to hear them kissing.

"Keep it PG!" I shouted. Luckily the carriage was deserted.

When I got off the final train, and walked out of the underground station, I was greeted by proper English weather.

The rain soaked through the ground, and ran along the street.
I trudged home, a gun in my pocket, and a grin on my face.

I closed the door behind me just as the first thunder could be heard.

"Well?" Seb asked. "How did you do?"

"Ok. No noise, one shot kill. No witnesses. No tails." I replied.

"Good." Moriarty said, walking towards us.

Sebastian smiled at him, and turned to me. "Well done, Kirk." he used an old nickname.

I smiled. "But, please. Keep it PG when either of you are contacting my earpiece."

"Sure." Sebastian laughed.
