The Beginning of the End
"Because John can't leave the hospital to work on the crime, I decided to bring the crime to John." Lestrade said as he walked in with a briefcase.
"Good thinking, Lestrade." Sherlock said.
"Well, let's get to work." John sighed.
At that same time far out in the country, a car was driving up to a small shack. A man stepped out, and walked into the shack. It was dark and had a musty smell. When the man walked in, someone gasped.
"Who are you?" A woman's voice said shakily.
"Calm down, Molly, dear. This is for your own good." The man was dressed in all black, so she couldn't make out who it was visually, but after a while, she figured out who it was by the sound of his voice.
"Moriarty!" Molly said softly.
"Hush, you'll attract attention. You've only just woken up, I don't want to have to shoot you again."
"But… Why?"
"Why? Well Why did you kill Cormac?"
"It wasn't me!"
"Oh. So the gun in your hand fired on its own?" Jim said sarcastically.
"I mean I didn't want to! I was hired-" Molly clapped her hand over her mouth.
"Hmm… Interesting." Just then there was a buzz. Moriarty reached in his pocket and drew out his phone. There was a pause, and then Moriarty said, "Oops, I've got to run. Sorry, dear. Boss's orders." He was about to leave when he turned around and looked at Molly."
"What?"
Jim walked over to Molly, drew something else out of his pocket and stabbed Molly. "Wouldn't want you messing up this crime, now would we?"
Once Jim was in his car, he said, "Boss's place," to his driver and they were on their way.
When the car pulled up, Jim's door was opened. "Hello."
"Hello," said a woman's voice. "In his office."
Jim got out of his car and climbed the stepped to the office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," said a voice. The door opened and Moriarty walked in. He found a man dressed in black sitting in a chair at a desk. "They've suspected one of my workers. Because they can't afford to be caught, you must turn yourself in."
"What?" Jim cried.
"I hired you, and you will do as I say. Unless you want me to report you. I suggest you report yourself though. To avoid harsh punishment."
"But-"
"No buts," the boss said sternly." Then he turned around in his chair, putting his back towards Jim. "That is all. You may go now."
Jim said nothing and just walked out, closing the door behind him.
Back in John's hospital room, the trio was getting nowhere. All of a sudden, Lestrade cried, "Yes!"
"What?" Sherlock and John said simultaneously.
"The man said he knew Sherlock. He also said he had a lot of information. Also he was equipped. I know people can change their voices, but I think I know the man who injected John."
"Who?" Sherlock and John chimed together.
"Moriarty." Lestrade concluded.
