Three months.
It took him three months to start asking the right questions.
He spent the first month running around everywhere. He swore to John it had nothing to do with who was TAKEN and everything to who TOOK her. For his own benefit, John made the decision not to pursue the subject further, and though I knew differently, so did I. me and John both knew that Sherlock's mind was thick with worry.
The second month, he spoke only to John and Mrs. Hudson, choosing to ignore me. He probably blamed me and thought that if I hadn't had shown up none of this would have happened. He had put up so many walls since I left, walls to keep out everyone. But I came back and he started to take them down, only a little, and this is what happened.
The third month he wouldn't speak to anyone. We would leave food on the coffee table by the couch and come back later and it was gone. He was thinking, processing everything he had discovered and trying to piece it together. It was truly pitiful, because I knew that no matter what Moriarty was doing to Molly in the time he took to find them, He would be near done and ready to put her away somewhere. And I knew he would come after me next, permanently this time. And I knew that I couldn't go alone, and knew exactly where it was.
It was very rainy, and stormy, like that night, when he finally realized that I had all the answers. "He said he had taken you before."
"He did."
"So you know where she is?"
"I do."
"And you haven't TOLD ME?!"
"You never asked. And I couldn't go alone." I was slightly angry. He was still blaming me, while I am probably in more danger than Molly ever was. Jim is a psychopath, but he isn't rude, if you are polite, he is too, and he rarely ever tortures, and when he does, it's in front of your loved ones, so that they have to hear you scream. She was probably in some sort of room, like a cell, with a small TV and a nice bed, like a really boring vacation, or a never ending sick day.
"One more thing—"
"Yes."
"I was going to ask you if he tried to abduct you more than the day before you left."
"Yes. I already answered that one, now go grab John; we have a Jim to capture and a Molly to save. He likes to play games so we best not be late!"
Don't kill me, I'm gonna try harder! Here is two in one day! please don't be mad, 'cause the story might get really interesting, and I would never hurt Molly.
