Sherlock didn't leave Ebony's side whilst she was in hospital for the next day. Just in case she got bored. He bought her an Ipad and installed the music app. Lestrade soon got results from forensics that the gun from Jaden's possession was indeed the one that shot Iva Andrews. Waste of time in Sherlock and Ebony's opinion and not one that was worth getting shot for… Ebony wondered whether it were his or not, and rightly so because a few days after she got home to baker street with her new crutches, she received a text message from none other than Thomas Moriarty.
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Did the tree crack the case?
To: Moriarty, Thomas:
What are you talking about? The police said it was Jaden.
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
There was something key in what you just said there. Can you guess what it was?
To: Moriarty, Thomas:
'The Police Said'?
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Ah, now you're getting it. So what do you think Holmes?
Ebony thought for a moment and nodded as she replied, quickly tapping at the keys on her blackberry curve 9300.
To: Moriarty, Thomas:
You.
The next text came almost immediately.
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Close…
To: Moriarty, Thomas:
Jim.
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Well done. Not as thick as wood after all.
Ebony ignored the last text. It was just rude and she found a little pea brain like him would call her thick. She saw John looking at her pinging phone and reaching for it… too slow. Ebony grabbed it and deleted the messages just as another one came in.
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Bit of a rubbish ending eh? Tell you what then… let's make this more fun. New case. Your dad should get it in about three…
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Two…
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
One…
From: Moriarty, Thomas:
Now!
The last text made Ebony's phone ping at exactly the same time as her father's. They looked at each other as he answered it. A grin lit up on his face…
"New case!" And he sprinted off down the stairs and took the first taxi to Scotland yard, leaving John and Ebony sipping their tea with smirks on their faces.
A/N: So that's it! I will the cases on this file so keep on reviewing… I know the end is a bit disappointing but it will tie in with future cases so don't be to annoyed! Please? Anyway. Reveiws. Give me a murder or serial kill and I will tie it in with the main case. Thanks for all the support!
