Sherlock

As soon as the van slowed enough, I jumped out and was already searching. Mycroft followed behind me a long with a couple of other men. I approached the first person I saw

"Do you know the name 'Verdi?'" I asked

"Pardon? Verdi? Ah non." The man replied.

I sighed and continued looking. After about an hour, we ran out of tarmac. The road had turned into little more than a dusty track, but tyre marks showed it was still in use. In the distance, someone was following the road. Maybe they would have some knowledge, I thought. It took lees than a minute to catch up with them.

"Have you seen a van?"

"Verdi's van? Yah yah! It came through a day or so ago."

"Where is it? Where will I find Verdi?" I asked, surprised I had found information so quickly.

"In that compound, over there." The man pointed into the distance and I was off in a flash, breaking into a run as the buildings and fence came into view.

"Sherlock! Stop!" Mycroft shouted, I turned and waited as he caught up. "You can't just run in! We'll never get John that way. We need a plan."

"Which is?" Knowing he'd already have one thought out.

"Two men are going to create a distraction at the gate, meanwhile, you and I will climb the fence and search for John. The other men will watch our backs." Mycroft replied.

"Ok, go." At this, two men ran towards the gate and we dropped to the floor, crawling to the fence. Suddenly, the two men let out a yell and crashed themselves into the gate. Within seconds, men were pointing guns at them. I realised then how difficult this was going to be.

Anyway, I led the way over the fence, with Mycroft and the other men following, and ran for the nearest door to me, surprised to find it unlocked, Mycroft went to the next one.
