Chapter 20: Final Plan

Heya tootsies!

(You're all my tootsies now.)

This will be much longer because I owe it all to you, especially since you're all so patient, supportive, and overall just very amiable.

Chapter Twenty

Moriarty's Final Plan

"Did you get him?" Moriarty growled, his hands behind is back and his fingers tapping anxiously.

" 'Course I did, I don't see why you ever doubt me, James." said Moriarty's right hand man, also known as partner in crime, Sebastion Moran.

"Tie him in a chair." Moriaty ordered. Sebastion dragged the unconscious John over and slumped him in a metal folding chair, bounding his wrists to it by handcuffs. "Really Seb? These are our nice pair." Moriarty said, flashing Sebastion a flirty smile then dropped it. "Wake John up. I want him awake for this." Moriarty commanded and Sebastion, like the good little solider he was, did so.

"Sherly," Sebastian tried to not take the nickname Moriarty was giving to Sherlock to heart, "I have something for you..to do." He said, a devilish grin returning to his lips as he opened up the machine Sherlock was in. Sherlock's eyes landed on John instantly, his eyes screaming and boiling with anger and he was about to yell and give Moriarty a piece of his mind when he was retrained by Sebastian. "Thought you might be a tinsy but upset so I have Sebby restraining you, apologizes. Now, now, now. Where was I going with this- ah, right! I have something for you to do if you really want your friends to be safe."

"What?" Sherlock growled, he had no reason to fake a calm expression. They had John and he didn't care what happened to himself, as long as John was safe.

"The Doctor, he has something that I want. I need you to get it for me. He trusts you, I have no doubts you won't be able to accomplish this with a little motivation. You fail me, John dies!"

"What is it that you want?" Sherlock said without hesitation, The Doctor wasn't his friend and John was much more to him.

"The Doctor, he came here with a machine called-"

"The TARDIS, yes I know. How am I supposed to get that to you?" Sherlock snorted. "It's not exactly something I can carry in my pocket."

Moriarty glared, "You always cut me off, now if you'd LISTEN, I'll tell you. The TARDIS, it is living. It has a soul. I need you to extract that from the console and return it to me. Without that the blue box is nothing." Moriarty paused and rubbed his hands together gleefully, "To get into the console, I don't know, but it's been done by the blonde girl who is his companion."

Sherlock said nothing but his eyes said it all, the glare he gave Moriarty was deadly but he couldn't disobey or John would suffer from his mistake. Sherlock would not allow that.

"On with it then!!" Moriarty hollered at him and Sebastian released Sherlock from his iron grip.

As Sherlock was walking out of the room he stopped and said through gritted teeth, "You have to promise neither of you will lay a single finger on him."

"Promise, Scout's honor." Moriarty smiled smugly and held up his left hand with the scout sign.

"Where do you suppose we are?" Rose asked as her and The Doctor walked on through the dark abandoned corridors.

"Listen to the humming," he paused, listening to the live wires. "The louder they get, the closer we are to danger and John."

"Ah."

"We'll find John and Sherlock. Don't worry, for now." The Doctor said grabbing her hand and squeezing it lightly for reassurance.

"I'm just hoping it won't us be finding bodies or their brains canned in tin man suits." Rose said and blew out the air out of her mouth.

"Shh." The Doctor instructed, and his ears strained to hear the noise he sore he'd just heard. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear wha-"

"Doctor." A deep voice rang through the darkness, one that Rose didn't recognize but The Doctor did.

"Sherlock."
