Chapter 10:
Jim and Sebastian made it to the tramway in time to see John being tied up obviously still knocked out, Sarah was man handled into a chair and securely tied as well. It took a while for John to come to, in that time the General set up her circus act and aimed it at the woman.
"I wish we were closer" Jim said cursing the binoculars one more time.
"We are just as effective here then there, even more so because they will only know about me and not you" Sebastian said as he too looked in on the scene through a scope, he didn't see Jims pout nor the glare.
"When did you gain the power of logic Bassie"
"When I was leading my men into battle, now respectfully shut up I am concentrating." Taking a deep breath Sebastian ignored the silence beside him, hoping that the boss was in a good mood tonight. Jim was far from angry, almost pleased with Sebastian's response this of course only followed after the shock wore off. It only took a few more minutes for John to come to and Sebastian watched as his body seemed to ripple with movement checking everything. The two watched through binoculars as General Shan pointed a gun at Johns head. Sebastian finger tensed on the trigger when she pulled the gun away, Sebastian thought it looked like she was ranting. She swung around and fired the gun, Sebastian didn't think he pulled the trigger and shot, he took down three people before Jim grabbed his shoulder. Sebastian spun around so fast and had Jim by the throat in seconds before he found himself and promptly had a panic attack.
"Hush Bassie, "Jim grabbed him and held on "Hush now daddy will fix it, trust daddy right now, Johnny boy is safe the gun was empty." By this time Sebastian was calming down and shaking and was starting to feel nauseous. And his thought took different paths giving him a headache. It went from Oh God John is dead Boss will kill me, to why does Jim refer himself daddy to when did I start separating Jim into different people. Eventually he felt himself being shifted upward. "Come on Bassie let's get you home Sherlock will be here soon to clean up for us. Again Sebastian was shifted still stunned not knowing what was happening he was placed in the back of a cab Sebastian wasn't sure if it was the one that was always on call or a random one. "Come on Sebastian I need my tiger now not the lame cat I am seeing now" How did James, (when did Jim become James, oh yes full names) know my army nick name in the RAC. "This is useless" what's usele… was all Sebastian thought before he felt the sharp sting of a slap to the face. Sebastian shook out of the stupor he was in and gasped.
"I tried to watch for the signs I am usually great at predicting who will shoot to kill, I tried to make sure he didn't get shot but there were no signs, nothing at all."
"Seb shut up" the command reminded him of his training days in the army where he was lower than dirt to his superiors just human shields for the more experienced soldiers. "John is not dead, I am actually surprised you seen the trigger pulled". "Trained" Sebastian said but it was ignored. "But the gun was empty you killed her before she could load the gun for real, the Tong always love to torment their victims thus the coded warning of death but John didn't have time to see the code so she pulled the trigger on an empty gun." Sebastian finally looked up at Jim and saw the truth in his eyes. "I told you daddy will make it better." Sebastian's eye twitched but nodded. To be honest Sebastian was crept out when Jim referred to himself as daddy it was just to queer for Sebastian's ears.
After Sebastian calmed down the pair returned to Baker Street in silence. Jim didn't pay the driver so it was the cabbie they technically stole. Feeling horrible and tired Sebastian headed to the bedroom to sleep wishing for the dynamic duo to not be so reckless or get any cases for the next few months
