I Can Take Your Pain Away

Chapter 1

The two arch enemies looked into each other's eyes: Blue into brown, and then the bomb exploded.

Sherlock was knocked into one corner and John into another. Sherlock lay there on the ground in pain. He could here the sound of footsteps approaching in the background and Moriarty looked down at him. "Don't worry, my dear. I can take that pain away."

Sherlock managed to get one look at the consulting criminal before his eyes closed. A few hours later, Sherlock opened his eyes and discovered he wasn't laying on the concrete any longer; he was in a bed. "Where am I ?" He wondered. But then his memories came back.

The bomb exploded at the pool and I was knocked unconscious... But how did I get here?

Suddenly the door opened and Jim Moriarty stepped inside.

" Ah, Sherlock. I see you are awake,"said the criminal mastermind, "Do you know where you are?"

" Well, judging by how clean it is here, this is your place," said Sherlock, trying to sit up. He was pushed back down by Moriarty.

" Don't move around so much. You are still in a lot of pain," said Jim, sitting down on the edge of the bed .

"Where's John?" asked Sherlock.

"Oh, don't worry, I had him taken back to your place," said Jim.

"Why did you bring me here?" asked Sherlock.

"All in good time, my dear. But for now I will let you get some sleep," said Jim, getting up, "Oh, and don't count on Scotland Yard or your pet to save you. No one in London knows where I live. Good night, my love," Jim said as he left the room.

Sherlock lay back down and started thinking: What is he planning? Why bring me here? But Sherlock couldn't think anymore and his eyes began to close.
