One
As the plane turned back all I could think of was the fact that Moriarty was back. How was that even possible? I thought he had killed himself, I thought I had beaten him. As I got off the plane everyone was looking at me. By everyone I meant Mycroft, John and Mary with her baby inside her seeing as she was still pregnant.
"How do you know for sure that he's back?" I asked still a little confused.
"Let's take you back home Sherlock, then you will find out" said Mycroft.
"I want to know now!" I said getting annoyed.
"He's on every T.V screen in England now let's go!" said Moriarty getting frustrated quickly.
Then we got back to Baker Street and I turned the T.V on. An image on Moriarty popped up on the screen saying "Did you miss me?" in four different voices over and over again. I immediately turned the T.V off.
So he was back, great.
"How the hell is this possible? I thought he died, I even saw him shoot himself" I said pretty angry now.
"I saw you fall to your death and yet you survived" said John not really helping.
"Yeah but that's different because I FAKED IT!" I said shouting the last two words in frustration.
"Well then maybe HE FAKED IT TOO!" said John shouting the last three words obviously angry with me.
"Boys please! Calm down" said Mary and we both just glared at each other.
"But why would Moriarty fake it as well?" I asked terribly confused.
"Maybe he wanted you to think you'd beaten him" said Mycroft.
"Yes but why?" I asked.
"What did he say before he supposedly shot himself?" Mycroft asked.
Then it dawned on me. He had told me that he was coming back but I'd never paid attention.
"I knew he would come back" I answered without thinking.
"What?" John asked quickly becoming angry again.
"That wasn't him on the rooftop but it was an actor pretending to be him. He used that same trick three years ago but with an actor presenting to be me to put fear into those kid's heads which led me to my fake death" I answered.
"Oh, that's actually very clever" John complimented.
I pretended that John hadn't said that.
"Come on let's stop wasting time talking about this. I have a case top solve and the game is on!" I said excited that I was back to solving complicated cases again and not just cases that I could solve in a second.
"Are you coming John?" I asked and then John asked Mary if she would be ok if he left her to which she nodded and then he followed me.
"Where do you think you're going?" Asked Mycroft.
"Saint Bart's hospital" I answered.
"SHERLOCK COME BACK THIS INSTANT!" Shouted Mycroft but I ignored him and got in a taxi with John.
"To saint Bartholomew's hospital please" said John and we drove off.
We had arrived at saint Bart's within ten minutes. I got off the taxi and went straight towards the hospital leaving John to pay for the taxi fare.
As soon as I got into the laboratory I waited for John.
"You could help by paying at least half of the taxi fare" said John and I rolled my eyes.
"Didn't have any money on me" I said.
"Well you need to start bringing money with you" John replied.
"Will do" I said and smiled at him.
"So what are we doing here?" Asked John.
"We wait" I answered.
"For what?" Asked John. Gosh he was so stupid sometimes.
"For Moriarty to kill someone" I said as if it was obvious.
"Yeah but why here?" Asked John.
"Mycroft was starting to annoy me" I answered.
"Oh" said John.
"SOMETHING LATELY DRIVES ME CRAZY HAS TO DO WITH HOW YOU MAKE ME STRUGGLE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION" My phone started ringing and I answered it quickly before John could hear the rest of it.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Only me" said a familiar Irish accent and then I realised that it was Moriarty.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Oh nothing" answered Moriarty.
"SO THEN WHY DID YOU CALL ME?" I shouted angry at him.
*Moriarty's Pov*
Wow Sherlock got angry pretty quickly.
"Well I wanted to ask you something actually" I said trying to wind Sherlock up even more and it worked.
"WHAT?" Sherlock shouted into the phone again and I took the phone further away from my ear.
"Did you miss me?" I asked and then the line went dead.
I disconnected the phone and smiled.
"SEBBY!" I shouted and Sebastian came rushing in the room.
"Yes Jim?" Asked Seb.
"I believe I have to kill someone" I answered.
"Oh yes of course" said Seb.
"Come on then" I said and smirked.
Together we went to kill the next victim. It was no one important just an ordinary man.
As soon as I got to the man's house he screamed but I shot him. Sebastian checked if he was dead before I carved the words "Did you miss me?" into the man's body with a knife.
"Call the police Sebby. Do a foreign accent so they don't know it's you" I said and Sebastian called the police and used a French accent.
"They're on their way" said Sebastian and I smiled.
"Come on lets go before they can actually catch us" I said and we went.
*Sherlock's Pov*
The man was not of any importance thank goodness but he had been shot directly into his heart whilst he tried to scream. Why was he screaming? Well of course he must've recognised Moriarty or he saw the gun and got scared.
There were no French people living in this apartment and the man was not French so despite what the police thought there was a man helping Moriarty with this murder.
How did I know it was Moriarty? Well only he would write something like that and he was the one that had asked "Did you miss me?" into every television screen in England.
"Have you found anything new?" Asked Lestrade walking into the room.
"Well it's pretty obvious that Moriarty did it but there was a man helping him" I answered.
"A man how would you know?" Asked Lestrade.
"No one in this apartment speaks French and the guy doesn't have any French friends or family" I answered as if it was obvious and it was obvious...well to me at least.
"Who do you suppose this man is?" Asked Moriarty.
There was only one man that Moriarty could trust and that was Sebastian Moran.
"Sebastian Moran" I answered.
"You're kidding me right" said Lestrade not taking me as seriously as I'd have liked.
"OFF COURSE I'M SERIOUS!" I answered shouting to make him see that I was telling the truth.
"Ok" was all that Lestrade said.
"Of course it's Sebastian. He's the only one that he trusts, the only one he can tell his secrets to, the only one he actually cares for" I said trying to make Lestrade see some sense.
"Are you trying to say that Moriarty is gay?" Asked Lestrade obviously shocked.
"Yes…it's pretty obvious of you ask me" I commented.
"SOMETHING LATELY DRIVES ME CRAZY HAS TO DO WITH HOW YOU MAKE ME STRUGGLE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION" my phone started ringing but I quickly answered it before Lestrade could hear any more than was needed.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Only me" answered an Irish voice.
"What do you want?" I asked realising that it was Moriarty.
"To congratulate you" answered Moriarty and I frowned.
"Congratulate me?" I asked confused.
"Yes" answered Moriarty.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well first of all you know who my partner in crime is and second of all yes I am gay" answered Moriarty.
"Um...thank you I guess" I said not knowing what else to say.
"Are you gay as well Sherlock?" Asked Moriarty.
"No not really my area" I answered truthfully.
"Interesting" said Moriarty.
