Title: The Merry Dance - Prologue (Part 1 out of a min. of 10 - max of 15, and some will be very short)
Non-slash stand alone sequel to "On Your Mouth I Will Tell It"
Rating: PG (I don't believe it will go higher)
Warnings: Language and some violence to not very nice people
Summary: John has been kidnapped by Moriarty. Moriarty is laying out a game for Sherlock, but it's not in Sherlock's court and he doesn't know the rules?
Author's Note: An interactive game (that you can play-see the end). This section is the last of "On Your Mouth I Will Tell It," but you need not read that to begin this (and a big thanks to everyone who's already started playing-sorry for the long delay, technical difficulties). There will be NO slash in order to welcome more players, but rest assured, the happy-ever-after that people want after "OYMIWTI" is half written already because I couldn't wait either, but it won't be necessary to read that to reach the end of this mystery. Confusing? Sorry-pm me if you want more details.
Part 2-the beginning of the mystery proper is ready to go and will be posted tomorrow night.
"At any rate," continued Mycroft, "I happen to know that John is not at Baker Street. I presumed that he stayed with you, or at any rate in Edinburgh, or with some relative."
Sherlock looked up sharply. "What do you mean you don't know where he is? He checked out of the hotel and flew back to London on Boxing Day. And he doesn't have any relatives except his sister and he'd be pretty desperate to go to her."
But John was not at his sisters, and he wasn't at Sarah's and when Sherlock returned to Baker Street Mrs. Hudson was surprised that John hadn't returned with him.
Sherlock bounded up the stairs. There was a piece of paper attached to the door with cello-tape.
Do you think they serve coffee in Coffeyville?
I doubt we'll get a decent cup of tea.
But if you've got some time to kill
Why don't you come over and play with me?
Let's play in the middle
And see what we see.
