I tackle Mrs. Hudson to the floor as an explosion rattles the building, blowing out the windows. I feel the glass sprinkle across my back. Then I remember John. I jump to my feet and look around to find John had been thrown across the room.

"John, come on, get up now. This isn't funny!" I yell shaking John trying to keep him from falling into a slumber that he wouldn't return from. Mrs. Hudson put her hand on my shoulder and I was about to get up when I heard John cough, " Got you. You really believed I was John Watson. I fooled the great Sherlock Holmes. I'll give you one of three clue to find him.", the dying man coughed again.

"In a castle locked far, far away is the one you are looking for. Through thistles and thorns you must fight to reach that lair of mine.", I checked his pulse-dead. John's been taken and all i've got to go on is a stupid riddle.
