Chapter 10 Nothing goes to plan …well almost!

Sebastian Moran sat waiting near the flat where John Watson was due to arrive; the plan was to intercept him before he went inside, his men to notify him when Dr Watson was close it was down to him to then capture the Doc and take him to Jim. Everything was going according to plan, Sebastian had informed one of his men to fake a mugging and to make sure Dr Watson was unhurt but chased him to his planned destination where he would be waiting, however what he didn't expect was for Dr Watson to get up and instead of follow, dust himself down and continue on to the flat like nothing had happened.

Hanging up from the call Sebastian, put the baseball cap in had placed on the seat next to him quickly got out of the car and headed to corner where John Watson was due to arrive as indicated by his men's call. Pulling his cap lower so his face could not be distinguished he sent a quick text his men asking them to make a small distraction in order to keep Mycroft's men busy whilst he intercepted the Doc.

There was a sudden sound of a car crashing behind him, turning round he noticed one his men slumped in the car that had conveniently crashed into a black SUV probably belonging to Mycroft's men, his mouth pulled into a smirk especially when he saw two men stagger out attention on the car had hit them, turning back to business he continued down the road to where he spied John Watson fast approaching.

John Watson was distracted, Sebastian could tell he hadn't even looked him when bumped into him and jabbed the syringe into his arm, it wasn't until he had started to staggered and start to become dizzy and disorientated did he turn and see Sebastian Moran staring at him from a distance with a smirk on his face, slumping to his knees he started to feel himself fast losing consciousness. As his eyes blinked he noticed that each time his eyes opened briefly Moran was getting closer and closer, as he opened them once last time before he completely blacked out he managed to make one strike to the unsuspecting colonel's face before he was completely out cold. Sebastian did not expect Dr Watson to make one last ditch attempt before conking out, but Boy! Did he make a good one rubbing his jaw (that will bruise by morning) he thought. Pulling out his phone he made a quick call to his backup before dragging the still body over his shoulder, within 2 minutes a white van pulled up, opening the back door Sebastian bundled John Watson into the back before closing the doors and climbing into the front and speeding away. Sending a quick text to his boss he then relaxed knowing his job was done.

…

Mycroft was in the back of his limo when he received the news from his surveillance team of John Watson's disappearance

Loss sight of Dr Watson, whereabouts now unknown. CCTV shows nothing out of ordinary. More data to come.

Frowning Mycroft began to wonder when he had begun to lose his upper hand and how he had managed to be issued with such a bunch of incompetents instead of the best of the best he was used too, obviously so incompetent in that they had allowed an injured ex-soldier to get the best of them. Back to the problem at hand he issued his assistant Anthea (as John had come to know her) with the task of tracking him down especially now he had to inform his brother that John was MIA.

Jim POV

Meanwhile, Jim had just received the message from Sebastian that they had picked up John, Jim jumped up and down gleefully like a happy child that had gotten what they wanted for their birthday earning him a few odd looks from the white haired gentleman that was lining up syringes and other instruments on a small sterile metal table in the little room that Jim had made vacant for John arrival. 'All ready Doctor' Jim called to the staring man 'Yes ...sir!' the man stuttered back 'the drug will need to be administered immediately upon his arrival and then every 4 hours' he continued 'good, good!' Jim expressed giddily heading to the door 'Seb will be in 10 minutes, be ready' he made clear before he left to meet Sebastian at the door with his newly acquired guest.
