CHAPTER 11. Get AWAY
Sherlock tried to shake off the haze that blanketed his vision, someone was talking to him. His head pounded, and he tried to focus on the words.
"Oh, I bet you are just dying of thirst. No worries my dear I'll take care of it!" A cold splash of water hit Sherlock's face, shocking his senses, and his blurriness sharpened.
"That's better. Glad you are awake. Victor said we can't have our fun until you were fully conscious. Its no fun to cut into you if you aren't going to scream." Sherlock recognized the brown eyed man as Moriarty, the consulting detective tried to move his hands, only to realize he was cuffed to a chair his hands behind his back and feet as well.
"Ah, slow one now. Drugs will do that." James started to pet Sherlock's dripping locks. "It's a shame I have to kill you. You do have a beautiful face. So soft." The gum chewing idiot was caressing Sherlock's cheeks almost lovingly.
"What do you want?" Sherlock snapped. The thin man only shrugged, as if it were an obvious thing to know.
"What every Omega wants. To be free. And you're going to contribute to our cause."
"If you're hoping my father is going to give into whatever demands you-"
"Oh, no no no, of course not. We aren't even going to ask. Trevor said we can torture you, film it and then send it with pieces, half to your brother the other half to your father."
"Well sounds like you have it all worked out. I can't say my father or brother will care too much. Actually I'm almost inclined to ask if Mycroft is paying you."
"Oh, dear boy. You and I both know that brother dear holds you so close to his heart. Well you and his boyfriend. What was his name-" Moriarty snapped the gum in his mouth, a manic smile twisting his expression.
"That's right. DI Lestrade." Sherlock felt himself stiffen, he pulled on his cuffs.
"You wouldn't dare go after the DI he works for the yard-"
"Oh, does he?" Moriarty smiled. "Bring him in boys." He shouted over his shoulder. Two men in black with matching dark glasses brought in an unconscious form. "Awe, he's so tired. Sebastian hits harder than he should sometimes. Oh well. At least the little dose of what we gave you will keep him comfortable, for now."
"You're insane. Let him go. He has noting to do with any of this. I don't know what you think he is to my brother-"
"The fact that you're saying any of this Sherlock dear is proof that he is something to you Holmes boys. Don't worry, we have so much planned for your dear DI. He's actually going to go first I think. It'll be fun to send that video to your brother than BAM! follow it up by yours. Awe it will break the Iceman's heart."
"What makes you so sure he has one?"
Sherlock couldn't hear the answer the psychotic Omega gave due to the loud screaming of an alarm, the noise even caused Lestrade to stir.
"Go see what that is." Moriarty growled covering his ears. "Now!" Sherlock tried to get a better view at the now disorientated DI.
"Expecting guests?" Sherlock smirked, hoping Mycroft was near.
"If you think it's big brother forget it! We disabled both your mobiles, he cant track you. In fact he's probably on some merry little chase far from here." The alarm finally silenced and Moriarty clapped happily. Sherlock pulled at his restraints, his protective instinct kicking in as the dark haired Omega leaned over Greg. "Awe, wish I had somewhere more comfortable for you DI. No matter." Moriarty started to pull the disorientated gray haired Alpha towards a metal cot standing up against a wall. Sherlock felt sick taking note of the car battery and jumper cables off to the side.
"Stop this!" Sherlock snapped. "I'll kill you!"
"You are in no position for idle threats dear. Just sit still, I'd hate to gag you. Besides it's an experiment I love to perform. Alphas can endure so much pain it's shocking. If you'll excuse the pun. You can have a go after we finish the first round with him. It's all about the show. "
"Sorry to disappoint you. But it looks like the show is going to be cancelled." Sherlock's head snapped up, when and how did John get here?
"I should have guessed you'd be along. Cant stay away can you? I thought you'd be busy with your dear Mikey." Sherlock caught the flinch and darkening of John's blue eyes. The Omega was wearing blood stained fatigues and holding a Browning directly at the back of Moriarty's head.
"John-your bleeding." Sherlock felt his heart start to pound in his chest.
"It's not mine, it's Mikes." The blond Omega tightened his grip on the gun. "Now James as I said let the nice DI go and then I want you to uncuff Sherlock."
"And if I say no."
"Then I'll decorate the wall with brain matter gray!"
"You are so boring with your threats." Moriarty bit out angrily refusing to move, only for John to press the cold barrel of the gun into the back of the maniac's skull, with a dramatic eye roll Moriarty he released his hold on Greg.
"DI?" John tried to ascertain how bad off the gray haired Alpha was.
John turned in time to catch the flash of blond. He was so preoccupied with Moriarty he hadn't noticed the sniper rushing into the room. Sherlock had and yelled out a warning pushing his chair forward landing in the Alpha's way.
"Oh, yeay it's a party!" Moriarty clapped his hands in annoyance.
"Now, lets do this again. Unlock him! Now!" Sebastian didn't move, his eyes were on James; Sherlock could see the inner debate as could James.
Sherlock managed to turn his throbbing head, his cheek burning from the impact of the floor, he could see John had his arm firmly across Moriarty's throat, and he was holding the thin Omega to his chest a gun pressed to the maniacs temple.
"Don't listen to him Sebby, shoot Holmes and be done with it. We'll keep the DI for fun. "
"Don't push me James! I will kill you!" John hissed through clenched teeth his blue eyes meeting Sebastian's hardened face.
"He wont. He's a silly army Doctor. He doesn't have it in him." The dark haired Omega made an over expressive sad face.
"I've had bad days James. Isn't that right Colonel? You know what I'm capable of."
The blond didn't respond, but to Sherlock's surprise John did mean it.
"I'll need the keys." Sebastian finally managed through gritted teeth, his eyes never leaving John's.
"Here!" John tossed the keys he'd taken from Moriarty's pocket.
"Hey!" the dark haired Omega snapped. "Don't be an idiot Sebby! Just kill them both!"
Sherlock was released and on his feet immediately he moved towards Greg.
"Now we are getting the fuck out of here the four of us." The army Doctor announced.
"No you aren't." Sherlock was hauling Lestrade to his feet, when an unarmed Alpha appeared in the door way; the consulting detective recognized Victor Trevor from the computer file he'd hacked into when Mycroft was being annoying.
"John. You are confused. You are conflicted. What they did to you in the institution has broken you. Let me help you heal. Lets rid the world of these filthy Holmes' and those that choose to side with them. Put the gun down."
"Shut up! I'm leaving here, Sebastian will help because he knows I'll kill James if I have to. And family means more to him than following orders from a manipulative prat like yourself. I suggest you move!"
Sherlock couldn't hold back the smile that ghosted across his pale face, John was demanding and strong. This Omega looked good in control and Trevor had no idea how to handle the situation.
"Boring!" Moriarty tried to wiggle free, but John only held tighter.
"John. I can't let you-" John took aim and fired at the old man causing everyone in the room to jump, even James fell silent.
"You shot me!" his grandfather growled holding a hand to his leg.
"I will not repeat myself, the next one is going straight through James' heart! Then we can really see if he has one."
"Dammit! John!" Sebastian snapped moving to help Trevor.
"Let him go. He's been brainwashed, it's these Holmes! They are parasites! They've brainwashed my only grandson!" Trevor was pushing Sebastian's hands away. "John they made you this way. Stop this now."
"You are insane!" John shouted in frustration.
"You're just figuring this out?" Moriarty giggled.
"James!" Sebastian sent his cousin a warning look; Sherlock could see the dark haired Omega only rolled his eyes in response. "John this is insane we are family. Trevor is only looking out for you. You have to understand-"
"That he frames good people? That he's willing to sacrifice his own people? Your hands are just as dirty as his Colonel."
"John! Don't force my hand-" Trevor snapped. "You are just like your mother! Look what that got her! Think about those you have in your life, would you really wish to see them injured or worse, because of the decisions you made."
Sherlock hissed at the underlining threat but John was faster than he was.
"If you come close to anyone I care about I will be sure to personally hand deliver your wrapped in a red bow to Magnus Holmes! Now get the hell out of my bloody way! We are leaving!"
Sebastian moved first not wishing for his cousin to be injured, Trevor cursed the trio.
"Sherlock you still have the keys, lock these idiots inside once we are out. Mobiles real slow!" John ordered from the two men.
"Wait what about James?"
"I'll drop him off at the edge of the property as soon as we've cleared security."
"You wont get far!" Trevor was breathless now, the blood loss starting to show.
"We'll see." Sherlock held the still dazed DI. Lestrade, and John signaled for him to go through the door first. James didn't try to fight, probably due to the threatening glare Sebastian threw the Omega. Sherlock laughed. Of course James would be an obedient little Omega.
"No ones going to come looking, the sound of the gunshot was expected, they were going to kill you." John explained pulling Moriarty down the hall. "I have the other security agents busy at the south end, it seems several cars just started on fire. To bad, those guests will have to find an alternate way home." Sherlock could only grin.
"You think you're so clever Johnny boy? When Sebastian gets out of that room he's going to come after you. He's a loyal one. Loyal to family. You don't know what you could have had in him, he did fancy himself in love. I warned him you weren't right in the head. You haven't seen my cousins mean streak, his killer side. I suppose you will now."
"Shut it!" John ordered striking the Omega hard over the back of the head causing the dark haired man to collapse. "We don't need a hostage for the way out." John shrugged pushing the limp body aside.
Sebastian always leaves his keys in the car, they wont think to stop us, and the video feeds are all down. We don't have a lot of time." John moved to look the DI over.
"He's got a bad concussion and he'll need stitches." John inspected the wound at the back of the DI's head, Sherlock had a secure arm around the inspector's waist."And they drugged him."
"Sherlock?" was all the DI managed.
"Sssh, don't talk sir, we're gonna get out of here. Preferably alive." John promised with a tight smile. "Follow me." John helped balance the DI out by putting the ALpha's arm around his shoulder and adding a strong hold to the DI's waist. Sherlock held back the heat that ran through him having John's arm brush against his own.
Forever. Sherlock's mind yelled out. The grey eyed Alpha moved with his beautiful Omega, his beautiful, strong and capable Omega. These idiots had no idea what they'd unleashed in the smaller man.

Sebastian hadn't waited long before kicking at the door, he made enough noise that one of the security officers arrived.
Victor was pale at this point, the Colonel had wrapped the man's leg.
"I told you it wasn't a good idea to act to soon. You should have done away with Holmes while we were in Afghanistan."
"You think I didn't try? That damn Mycroft kept his kid brother well hidden until now. Our intel barely managed to discover that Stamford, the connection was made after you mentioned where you were headed. "
"Messy, all of it is messy. I could have handled this for you sir."
"Just shut up and get us out of here. I want Holmes dead and I want my grandson brought back to me and In one piece." Trevor spat.
"We still have a deal Victor." Sebastian pressed, when his men entered handing him a weapon sounding the alarm.
"Do you really think he'll consent to you? After this little showcase-"
"He's only confused by Holmes' presence once he's dead, John will see clearly." Trevor didn't reply, and Sebastian headed out after the Captain, knowing exactly where John would go.
Sebastian hoped the Omega Captain wouldn't hurt James and he silently prayed James kept his taunts to himself. The Doctor was a fair man but James did have a way of getting under anyone's skin.
Then the sound of gunfire snapped him to attention, "Who's shooting!" he demanded, one of his men were yelling into his ear piece.
"Sir the garage! James has the three cornered with our men. They are trading fire."
"Dammit James." Sebastian growled.
~0~
John pushed the DI into the back seat, "Sherlock! Start the car! " John ducked down getting into the vehicle next to the DI. James that bastard was shooting at them from behind another car, two other men yelled for the crazy Omega to stand down. John fired the last of his rounds and slid into the car besides the now unconscious DI.
"Hang on!" Sherlock yelled and under the squeal of tires the trio were flying down the pavement, several other cars were following and firing, John covered the DI with his own body but the glass was bullet proof.
John had to laugh, of course Sebastian would have bullet proof glass. Sherlock floored the gas as they neared the closing gates. The guards inside fired on the car but Sherlock was already speeding through the slow moving gates grazing the sides of the black BMW.
"Knowing my brother he'll have back up for us here in five minutes." John glanced behind them no one was chasing and for some reason this made him more nervous than relieved.
