1000 Ways To Say...

Chapter 9

(AN: Hehehe I am evil! I left you hanging in the last chapter. Sorry 'bout that. I just wanted to experience being evil for once)

Sherlock

For the first time in years I was stumped.

Stuck.

Confused.

How could Moriarty faked his own death as well? I was telling myself the same thing John must've told himself when I jumped.

I saw him die.

But he was clever. He always had tricks up his sleeve.

Moriarty seems to enjoy being sadistically evil. Knowing that I had something sentimental - that was John - and taking it away from me.

My phone begins to ring - snapping me out of my daze.

"What?" I snap down the phone.

"Hello, brother dear. I heard about John," He paused. "Would you, perhaps, need some help finding him?"

"Mycroft!" I manage to shout, before the line clicks off.

My brother can be unpredictable. I was just about to close my eyes again when there was a knock at the door.

"Mycroft! What the hell are you doing here! I told you I didn't need help!" I shout, not moving from my chair - I knew it was him anyway.

"I thought I'd just come over... See how you're coping with everyday life." Mycroft slowly circles the room, but doesn't sit down. He doesn't like to make himself comfortable here.

"John has been abducted by Moriarty. I don't know how, or why, but I need to find him before Moriarty does something to him."

My brother raises his eyebrows and looks at me.

"So, you've finally picked up on sentiment. I was wondering when the time would come." He says sarcastically, making me stand up. I open my mouth to say something, but my phone rings again - the call from an unknown number.

"Hello?" I ask cautiously, suspecting Moriarty.

"Oh Sherlock!" A teasing voice says. I was correct.

I don't answer, prompting Moriarty to continue.

"Come on! Use your brain and find John! Come and play..."

"I don't have time for games, where are you?" My voice has a stern tone.

"Use your head, Sherlock. Or poor little Johnny boy here will have his brains on the pavement..."

It finally clicks. I know where to find John.
