This is another fic I am writing with Luna Moriarty. There is no beta, so any mistakes are ours and please let me know so I can change them. We are writing this via Skype so updates might be slow. If you want a free hug you'll have to review, just so you know. -Moo x
Seb sat in the bar, flirting with a random girl, he knew he shouldn't be, but to be honest he couldn't care less. John entered the bar and ordered a beer. Sherlock was sitting in the corner of the room with a drink in front of him but he wasn't drinking. Jim sat in the other corner, a cocktail in front of him which he sipped occasionally, he was watching Sherlock with one eye and Seb and the random girl with the other. John sat down at a table near to Sherlock. Sherlock was momentarily distracted when a man joined John. Seb was still flirting shamelessly with the girl, he glanced over and saw Jim, Jim glared at him but Seb didn't care. He was drunk and he was angry, so he leant over to kiss her. Sherlock looked away from John and focused back on Jim. Jim saw Seb kiss her and leapt up, he hated when Seb was in one of these moods, but hurting him wouldn't change anything. He strolled over to Sherlock and glared at him.
"Someone's in a mood. Should I be expecting a case where you've blown something up any time soon?" Jim didn't grace that with an answer, instead he punched Sherlock, right on the nose. Sherlock stood up and punched Jim square in the jaw. Jim staggered back but threw another punch to Sherlock's stomach, Seb heard the commotion and ran over, momentarily forgetting the girl, who happened to be called Amber. Sherlock doubled over for a second before throwing a return punch to Jim's stomach. Jim grunted and doubled over, so Sebastian moved in, throwing short sharp jabs all over Sherlock's body. Sherlock kicked at Sebastian's shins. Most of the bar was watching now and John had come over to try and help Sherlock. Jim laughed as John came over and signalled for Sebastian to take him down, Seb nodded and started punching John, Amber also rushed over and joined in pummelling John.
"Your little pet is going to be surprised when he sees it's you, isn't he, Sherley?" Jim teased as he kicked him. Sherlock just growled as John tried to dodge the punches coming his way.
"'ello Johnny-boy." Seb grinned as he continued to beat him up, Amber was silent but kept punching him.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I guess you remember old Sebby then, 'ey?" John punched Sebastian. Seb grunted and punched him back, twice as hard as John had punched him,
"I'll take that as a yes, how's your shoulder?" He said, ducking from the expected punch.
"It's fine." John ground out. Sherlock had stood up and had punched Jim in the stomach again. Jim grunted again and did an epic ninja kick to Sherlock, knocking him backwards. Seb threw one enormous punch to John's head, knocking him out instantly. Sherlock saw John fall and took a couple of steps towards him. Seb heard police sirens and grabbed Amber and Jim's hands, dragging them both out the side door of the pub. Sherlock groaned as Lestrade came through the door and saw him.
"Sherlock!?" He shouted, "You're dead!" He frowned, obviously very confused.
"That's nice to know, always good to be told you're dead." Sherlock replied sarcastically. "Right now, I couldn't care less that I'm meant to be dead."
"Right, yes. Gregson, call an ambulance." He called, "You have some explaining to do later, but right now, I want to know, what happened here?"
"I got into a fight."
"Do you know who with?"
"I'm not an idiot. Jim."
"Jim!? Jim Moriarty!? He's dead too!"
"Yes, yes, sure he is."
"I think you might be concussed...He's been dead as long as you have, how can you both be alive!? That's not possible." Sherlock sighed,
"I'm not concussed!"
"OK, so say that he isn't dead, why were you fighting with Jim then?"
"He started it." Sherlock muttered.
"That's pathetic..." Lestrade muttered, "You're not going to answer my questions today, are you?" Sherlock pretended to think for a moment,
"Uhhhh, nope." Lestrade sighed as the paramedics arrived for John,
"Sort John out and come in tomorrow, yes?"
"Yes, yes." Sherlock hovered around the paramedics who were looking after John.
When they were far enough away Seb stopped,
"Jim, this is Amber, Amber, this is my boss, Jim."
"Hi there, sir." Amber nodded and offered her hand to Jim. Jim shook her hand,
"Why have you brought her to my attention Sebastian?"
"Because she can shoot, and fight, as she demonstrated earlier...I think she could be of use..." Amber grinned at him.
"If she fails me you know what happens."
"Of course." Seb looked at Amber, "You fail, you die." He said, she just nodded and took a step closer to Jim,
"I won't fail you, sir." She purred.
"Good. I don't appreciate people who fail me." Jim said quietly. She nodded,
"I'll do basically anything you need, I'm a good shot, and I can do other stuff too..." Jim nodded. Amber went back to Seb and took his hand, he glanced at her, then to Jim, slightly nervously.
"I'm going back to the flat Sebastian."
"I...uh...yes, sir. I'll sort Amber out with the contract and everything then I'll come and join you. I'll explain the rules too..." Seb muttered. Jim nodded,
"Goodbye Amber, see you later 'Bastian." Jim got in the car that had pulled up beside them and drove away. Amber glanced at Seb,
"Rules?"
"Relationships."
"What about them?"
"There are no relationships unless Jim approves them."
"You...You mean I can't be with you? You...Oh..." Amber looked down.
"It would be dangerous for both of us Amber."
"But...you kissed me earlier, you were flirting with me...You tricked me into agreeing to work for him...That's not fair..."
"Well, I'm sorry, but that's just how it is."
"And what if I say no now? What if I don't want to work for him now? What then?"
"What do you think will happen?"
"You'll kill me..." She whispered, "Would you really do that? Really?"
"I'd have to..." She leaned up to kiss his lips. He gently kissed her.
"I'm sorry, Sebastian. I'm not working for him if I can't have you too." She whispered.
"I'm sorry then Amber." Amber sighed,
"So...You're going to kill me, great. Can't you just...Pretend to kill me?"
"If Jim found out..."
"He wouldn't...I'd be careful, you could still see me and...It won't work will it?" Seb shook his head and stroked her cheek.
"Make it quick then..." She whispered, "And...could you possibly...kiss me while you're doing it?" She whispered, closing her eyes.
"Of course. Keep your eyes closed." He whispered. Pressing his lips against hers. He pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger. She went limp in his arms immediately, her blood staining his shirt. Seb lay her down and walked back to the flat. He opened the door to the flat and stepped inside,
"She didn't want to work for you..." Seb muttered, "I...I...killed her..." Jim nodded. Seb sighed,
"She was only 20..."
"Clean yourself up."
"Yes, sir." Seb went into the bathroom and got in the shower.
