Sherlock knows he has milliseconds to decide, fragments of milliseconds. Because it will only take milliseconds for the man to shoot, to shoot John. Decide whether to move, to cover John. But then, he doesn't need any more time, does he? Because his decision has been made long ago, and for John, he is willing to bear whatever consequences may arise. Whatever. So he moves./One-shot.
