Adventures of Sherlock

Chapter 10: "Sherlock and the Pictures!"

At Midnight, Sherlock goes to the location and he looks around as he waited for Ava and her kidnapper to show up. John ends up showing up as he knew Sherlock was planning something and the two stand there arguing over giving the plans to the kidnapper for Ava.

"It's the best idea I've got." Sherlock says, "I can't lose her. Mycroft will understand..."

They hear a whimpering noise and Sherlock narrows his eyes as he looks forward. Ava walks forward by herself as she no longer had the cloth over her eyes.

"Ava!" Sherlock says and Ava shakes her head to get him to stay back. She stood across from him and John as she had visible bombs strapped to her body.

"Ava..." John says and Ava looks at Sherlock.

"You were wrong about something, I don't love Ava. She, well she's simply a romantic rival. But fearing for her life surely got you to play." Moriarty says as he walks in. Sherlock and John both hold up their guns and Ava whimpers as a red dot appears over her face. They both get dots on them as well.

"Where would you like to see her shot? The face? Her chest? Which would rip your heart out the most?" Moriarty asks.

"Neither!" Sherlock says.

"You've got to have a spot. She's got such lovely skin. I'd love to see it ripped apart by a bullet." Moriarty says as he'd joined Ava. He places his hand on her back and she flinches as she arches her back away from his hand.

"I'll tell you what... Stop getting in the way and she is free to go." Moriarty says, "Because you see, even your brother knows that your biggest weakness is your love for this sweet and beautiful girl. Most likely the only woman you've ever loved and ever will." He touches the back of her head and she flinches as she closes her eyes.

"Don't you dare touch her." Sherlock says, "Take these missile plans and leave her alone." Ava opens her eyes as Moriarty steps forward and throws the plans into the water.

"Well, I'll be off." Moriarty says, "Remember what I said. I don't want to have to visit her again. Though, I do enjoy her company. So, I'll let you keep your little lover until the day I decide to kill you then I'll let you two die in each other's arms, how is that?" Moriarty snickers.

"What if we shoot you right now?" John asks.

"You won't. Because if I don't want out safely... neither does the Princess." Moriarty says with a sing-song voice. Moriarty turns to leave and Sherlock slowly steps towards Ava. Once Moriarty is gone, Sherlock helps Ava take off the bomb vest and he throws it away while he places his hands against Ava's cheeks.

"Are you hurt?" Sherlock asks.

"No, he didn't hurt me." Ava says and Sherlock hugs her tightly. Ava looks up at Sherlock and her eyes widen when another dot appears on all of them.

"Sorry! I'm so changeable!" Moriarty says as Sherlock holds Ava against him tightly with his left arm while he holds the gun towards Moriarty with the right hand.

They are covered with a lot of red dots and Ava grips her hand against his dress shirt while Moriarty continues to speak. Sherlock looks at Ava as she looks at him then Sherlock looks at John who nods. Sherlock holds onto Ava tightly as Sherlock aims the gun towards the vest he took off Ava. Moriarty stares at them as he was a little shocked by Sherlock's answer. Moriarty's phone suddenly rings and Ava blinks confused.

"Do you mind if I get this?" Moriarty asks and suddenly Moriarty is pissed off. The three exchange a look as Ava was blushing that Sherlock was holding her so tightly.
