(Sherlock's POV)
I looked at a map on the TARDIS console screen, while going over the conversation with Moriarty in my head over and over in case he gave another clue.
"Found anything?" Molly asked.
"Not yet."
"What exactly are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for anything in a 100 mile radius."
"Any luck?" The Doctor asked and draped his arms around me and Molly, him standing in between us. I looked at him without an expression not sure what to do. He dropped the smile and awkwardly took his arms off.
"Ahem" the Doctor cleared his throat and looked at the screen. "Wait, that's Wilf and Donna's house in the future... Have you tried right there?" He asked pointing to a house on the screen.
"No. Had no reason to." The Doctor controlled the screen and looked up who owned the house last.
"Sarah J. Smith? Went crazy at the age of 79. Admitted at St. Claire's." I read out loud. The Doctor selected her profile.
"Delusional. Speaks of adventures with a Time Traveling alien named The Doctor. Repeated the children's song 'Tick Tock Goes The Clock' which mentioned the Doctor." Molly read aloud.
The Doctors eyes glazed over. "My best friend..."
"I'm very sorry." Molly said and put a hand on his Shoulder. I could hear the sincerity in her voice.
"Tick Tock goes the clock till chaos kills John Watson." I said remembering my conversation with Moriarty.
Both Molly and The Doctor looked at me. " I won't let Chaos kill John.
Let's go get your best friend. Shall we?" He grabbed his Sonic and walked out the door.
I looked at Molly, grabbed my coat, put it on, and without thinking helped Molly with hers. We quickly followed the Doctor.

(Sebastian's POV)
Sitting on the roof of a building, I see Sherlock, Molly, and the Doctor walking towards the house. Chaos has John...or so they think. That's the thing about Chaos, he always has a surprise for you. I'm lucky he found me when he did. Chaos is brilliant! I can never live up to him. He found me when I was just a child, an orphan. I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that he's from a different planet, Gallifrey. Maybe I'm just used to it because I grew up knowing. Chaos taught me how to be strong. I grab my gun...well the other gun, and climbed down the building. Chaos told me to follow them but not to let them see me. I should've asked questions to be sure what I should and shouldn't do... Slowly I follow them, trying to stick to the shadows like Chaos taught me. Two men... Weeell one man, one Timelord, and one girl. Isn't too hard to figure out which one is Molly.

(Molly's POV)
As we're coming closer to the house Sherlock stops me and looks me in the eyes.
"Molly I need you to do something for me. Can you do that?"
"Of course." I replied not completely sure what he's going to ask.
"Stay here. Trust me." Looking at him with a blank face, I'm not sure how to reply. The look of concern on his face, in his eyes, are both thrilling and alarming. My silence makes Sherlock go on.
"I-...I can't lose you.. I don't want you getting hurt. Can I trust you to stay here?"
"You know you can.." Sherlock gave me a small smile.
"Hello! Still here!" The Doctor said watching us. "And John is still in there." He pointed to the house.
"Right." Sherlock cleared his throat and walked toward the house.
"Stay out of trouble." The Doctor smiled and caught up to Sherlock.

(Sherlock's POV)

Slowly, I opened the door and poked my head in. Fairly normal living room. One hallway to the left, to the right, the dining room and kitchen. I walked in and quietly walked toward the hallway, The Doctor following behind. Three doors.. I opened the first one normal bedroom. Second, toilet. Third, stairs leading into the dark. No light switch. The Doctor took out his sonic and used it as a torch. Letting him lead we both went down into the basement. Nothing. After going over every corner several times with the sonic, nothing.
"Hmm that's strange. Maybe we misunderstood Chaos." The doctor said.
"No, no. This is defiantly where Moriarty wants us to be..."
"Is it a.....-"
"Distraction." I finished for him.
"From what?" The Doctor asked.
Distraction from wha- I took a sharp breath in.
"Molly!" I ran to the door. It's closed.. We were so busy looking for something we didn't notice it had closed. I tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge! "It won't open!" I yelled and banged my fist against the door.
"Sherlock." The Doctor used the sonic on the lock. "Oh dear."
"What?" I asked.
"It's a dead lock..incased in wood."
"....wood?"
"The sonic doesn't work on wood apparently. Get over it!" He yelled at the sonic.
I started pacing nervously. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong ... I'm not thinking straight. Why would Moriarty take Molly?..... Because he knows I'm... I'm what? I don't know...
"Sherlock?"
"Hhhmm?"
"We'll get out of here. And don't worry.. Molly's a smart girl."
I sighed and sat down. The Doctor sat next to me and fiddled with his sonic.
"I'll think of a way out. I'm trying to modify the sonic to at least work on wood."

(Molly's POV)
Sherlock and the Doctor have been in there for a while. I promised Sherlock I'd stay out but they're taking forever! Standing up, I walked away from the tree I had been sitting under. Ok, I have two options. One, stay here, keep waiting, and never know whether something happened to them. Two, go into the house, break my promise to Sherlock and possibly help them though... Before I can make a decision, a hand clamped over my mouth and an arm around my waist. I screamed but it was muffled by the hand. Feeling a sharp pain in my side, I realized he injected me with something! Angry and frantic I bit his hand. He let me go and I started to yell but quickly stopped.
Taking this opportunity, I dig the back of my heel into his toes and run away. Who would try to kidnap me?! What've I done?! No time to think about that now, I can hear him following me. Adrenaline pumping, I see an alleyway and choose to go down it. Wow..that probably wasn't the brightest move...but I'm blaming that on the adrenaline.
"You can't out run me, Molly. Just make it easier on both of us." Ignoring him, I keep running.
"Molly!!" His deep voice growled. Just keep running, just keep running, I told myself. Just think! What would Sherlock do to get out of this mess? ..........new idea, what do people do in the movies? Disappear into a large crowd! That's easy enough. I took the first left I could then another. Basically making a U turn. Now to find a crowded place. Slowing down, I casually walk into a crowd of people in a store hoping he won't find me.

(Sherlocks POV)
"I can't think in this tiny room!" I complained to the Doctor.
"...there's something more, isn't there?" The Doctor asked.
Is it that obvious I wondered.
"What is it Sherlock?"
"I can't let him get to Molly..."
"Ooohh.." The Doctor said in a funny kind of way. "And what exactly are you and Molly? Friends?"
"Colleagues." I replied without hesitation.
"Right...well I've never seen just colleagues hold hands. Oh just admit you have feelings for her Sherlock" the Doctor said with a smirk. Sighing, I put my head in my hands. "Sherlock..."
"It scares me, Doctor. If you must know. ... I've never felt like this before..it dulls my skills and scares me." The Doctor stayed silent for a moment.
"Have you considered the fear is what stops you from thinking. Fear jumbles your thoughts. Get over the fear, and I think you'll find clarity..
" I took a moment to think about that.
"Ah I think I've got it!" The Doctor exclaimed as he stood up.
"What?" I asked confused.
"The sonic. I think I've modified it enough to work on wood."
"Oh right" I stood up and followed the Doctor to the door.
"Keep your fingers crossed." The Doctor said as he pointed his sonic screwdriver at the lock.

(Sebastian's POV)
I cleared my throat as I enter the room in his house that Chaos seemed to favor. Good thing he's there too, the more at ease he is the better. He's not going to like what I have to say.
"Chaos,.... I lost her.. I'm sorry" seeing the anger on his face, I quickly add "just give me another chance. I- I won't disappoint you again. I promise!"
Chaos chuckled. "You won't disappoint me again..." He shook his head. " oh Sebastian, that's all you ever...seem to do!"
I'm not sure what to say...don't want to make him any angrier than he is..so I stay silent.
"I gave a simple mission, Simple! And you manage to screw it up! One girl, that's all I asked... for Molly. You can take down ex-military! But you can't get one little girl?
I looked up at him... and he slapped me across the face.
"Idiot! Only an imbecile would've lost her. You weren't up to the task."
"I'm sorry Chaos. You've trained me better I know." Chaos took a deep breath to steady himself.
"No matter. What's done is done. Let the girl be for now." He said and sat down on the brown leather couch that's been there since I was a kid.
I quickly eased the door shut. The sting of the slap had worn off on my face but not my pride...

(Molly's POV)
I had lost whoever it was that was chasing me! Now I can go back to the house and find out what happened to the Doctor and Sherlock. Or wait back at the TARDIS. Well I have to pass the house to get back to the TARDIS might as well stop there to check it out.
It wasn't a long walk thankfully. Carefully, I open the door. Nice house. As I enter the hallway, I can hear voices which startle me but I recognize Sherlock's voice. It's coming from the door at the very end of the hall. Before I could put my hand on the handle, it opened and out came the Doctor and Sherlock talking.
"It blew my sonic. Look at that! It's fried! I'm never using it on wood again. It's just not meant to be used on it." The Doctor complained.
"Kicking the door worked for me." Sherlock said.
"Oh hello Molly. Aren't you supposed to be waiting outside?" The Doctor said still looking at his sonic.
"Molly?" Sherlock asked. "What's wrong?"
How can he tell something wasn't right? Maybe just by the mere fact I had broken my promise to stay out.
"I uh was nearly kidnapped I think.." I hate the fact I always get flustered around him.
"You think?!" The Doctor asked. Sherlock looked concerned but he didn't say anything.
"Well I was waiting for you, for awhile when someone came up behind me and put their hand over my mouth. I couldn't scream."
"So how'd you end up here?" The Doctor asked.
"I bit his hand and dug my heel into his foot. He let go of me real quick after that. I ran away but he started to chase me, then I hid in a large crowd of people. That's when I lost him."
The Doctor smiled. "Just like in the movies ha. You're ok though?"
I nodded.
"Good. What did he look like?" Oh now Sherlock decides to speak.
"I don't know. Never got a good look at him... Big, deep voice...that's about it."
"Well the main thing is, you're alright." The Doctor said with a smile. Sherlock sighed.
"We're back to square one. We still don't know where John is. Although the fact that Molly escaped... I suspect we'll be getting a call from Moriarty any time." Sherlock explained.
"Chaos." The Doctor corrected.
"Their one in the same!" I said.
"Are you sure you're alright Molly?" The Doctor asked concerned. "You look a little pale..."
"Just tired. I guess the adrenaline wore off." I bit my lip.
"What else Molly?" Sherlock asked.
"When he grabbed me he injected me with something. I don't know what, didn't even get to see the needle."
This time both Sherlock and The Doctor looked worried. "I'm sure it's nothing..." I leaned against the wall for support. "...just need to sit down" I can feel my eyelids getting heavy. All I want to do is sleep. Sherlock helped guide me to the couch in the living room. And that's where I fell asleep.
