Sherlock x OC - The Black Masquerade Mask (Book 1)

Diffusing

Jim was being held by John and Sherlock was a little shocked to see me. He probably thought I was here to save his ass.

John released him and Jim straightened up his suit turning around to look at me "Oh good, you're here!" John and Sherlock exchanged glances confused at the interaction.

"Hello, Sherlock... I've heard so much about you from my brother! I guess you are quiet interesting as he said you would be. Isn't it nice this little gathering of ours?" I said very smugly, walking towards Jim and the gun still in my hand but not pointed at anyone.

 I had a wide smirk on my face and I was playing the evil role very well.

Jim was more than pleased, it was like a piece from a play. "We're just missing some tea and biscuits Ema" Jim grinned like a child at me.

I sensed the silence exchange between John and Sherlock, as if trying to take in what I'm doing beside Jim. I can see disappointed stares coming from John and Sherlock.

"Sorry to interrupt your little party, Mr.Sherlock Holmes" I said smirking at him, looking him deep in the eyes. "I thought blood was going to be spilled tonight" I said confidently. 

All I received from him was a very disappointed look and a look of anger. John looked at me still shocked not uttering one word, he was following Sherlock's lead.

Jim walked forward to Sherlock "Do you know what happens if you don't leave me alone Sherlock? Do you?" He said in a bored tone. 

I was very tense and there he was acting like he's picking out tomatoes from a grocery store. Jim, such a psycho.

"Let me guess, I get killed?"

"Killed? Um no don't be obvious! Im gonna kill you someday...I don't wanna rush it though, Im saving it up for something special...no no no no, ....if you don't stop prying Ill burn you...Ill burn the heart out of you" Jim said expressing his excitement very loud and clear.

"In fact my sister here told me she'd love to take the honor of killing the smart detective, she was very interested in the puzzles I made you solve. Weren't they clever Sherlock? Weren't they?"

"The puzzles were interesting, I didn't know a young female was behind all of that. Criminal Mastermind family I suppose?" Sherlock said shooting me glares as sharp as daggers.

"Oh no no no, I made the puzzles she just helped out with picking the victims. You can say so my sister here doesn't like to show off a lot, but ER was her idea!" Jim boasted hugging me to the side acting proud.

"What is ER if I may ask?" Sherlock turned to me, asking me about the meaning. Jim couldn't just shut up "That's nothing you need to concern your brilliant brain with Mr.Sherlock Holmes, if I tell you I'd have to put a knife through your heart" I said trying to shut him up.

"I've been formerly informed that I don't have one" Sherlock spat back at me hatred dripping with every word coming out of his mouth.

"But we both know thats not quiet true" Jim said butting in. Sherlock stayed silent and Jim turned to me "We better be off, don't you think Ema?"

"Ah yes, as much as I'd like to chill some more with you Mr.Holmes I think we'll keep it for some other day!"

"It's so nice that we finally had a proper chat" Jim said playfully. "What if I decide to shoot you now? Right now?" Sherlock asked with no humor in his tone. 

"Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face..." jim made an O face "Cause I'd be surprised Sherlock , really I would, and just teensy bit..... disappointed! But then of course you wouldn't be able to cherish it for very long....Caio Sherlock Holmes" Jim said taking my hand and heading for the door to leave. I walked right behind him looking down.

"Catch you later"

"No you wont" Jim yelled back while walking out of the place.

"That was fun wasn't it? Wooooohooo!" Jim said happily I just looked back at him really relieved nothing happened. "Yes it was quiet interesting honestly" I said putting my hands in my pockets as we left. "Um wait, I don't feel like leaving it this way!" Jim said stopping in his tracks.. 

"Jim just let it go, I'm exhausted from all the excitement I think I'll go home" I said to Jim yawning. "Fine you can leave but you'll be missing out on the real fun" Jim said turning back to the front door.

I took that as my cue to head upstairs, I took my wig and contacts off as I changed into my disguise. I put the black mask on to cover my face and headed to the upstairs pool area. 

I can see a couple of people holding riffles below me. I took out two hand guns and a knife from my backpack as I waited around to see what's going to happen.

Sherlock had his gun pointed at the bomb jacket that was now on the floor, and red laser points were on him and John. 

A gun is obviously not going to fix this problem, a small sound bomb to the riffles would though. A good enough distraction to get the two guys out of here.

I took out the bomb and was ready to pull it out when a song started playing. 'Staying Alive' of course, Jim's phone.

"Do you mind if I get that?" Jim said looking awkwardly at Sherlock.

"No no please you got the rest of your life" Sherlock said with sarcasm.

"Hello?...Yes of course it is what do you want" Jim answered mouthing a sorry to Sherlock. Sherlock mouthed an 'its okay' back. These two are insane.

Sherlock and John looked dumbfounded surprised at the sudden interruption.

"SAY THAT AGAIN! Say that again, and know if you are lying to me I will find you and I will sssskin you....wait..." Jim walked forward to the jacket and looked at it. "Sorry, wrong day to die" He said disapppointed.

"Oh did you get a better offer?" Sherlock asked smirking at Jim.

"You'll be hearing from me Sherlock. So if you have what you say you have I will make you rich, if you don't I will make you into shoes!" Jim continued on the phone and walked out snapping his fingers and just like that the laser points disappeared.

 I quickly packed my stuff but one of the knives were dropped to the other side of the pool and I jumped down to get it.

Sherlock looked around the pool, and saw the knife.

"Bit early for you to appear! Were you here all that time?" Sherlock asked getting closer to where I was. "I believe that doesn't concern you" I bitched back.

 "You're my protection of course it does!"

 "You're my victim, mine to take, mine to kill... Adios Holmes" I smirked walking out of the pool area. Now that gave him something to think about.
