Kittyscratch91: Tomorrow is Christmas but trouble is brewing. Moriarty is on the move! Holmes, save Lestrade! She is your only hope!


Holmes went to Lestrade's apartment that morning to ask her out for brunch and a movie. He already booked two tickets to watch Aeon Flux. When he reached Lestrade's apartment, he realized that her door was slightly ajar.

"This is unlike Lestrade to leave her door ajar like this," thought Holmes.

When he opened the door, he was shocked to bits. Her living room was in a mess. Papers were every where. Tables were turned, vases were broken, bookshelf destroyed together with all the books in it and her videophone was taken apart.

Holmes started to panic. He went to every room in her apartment, calling her name several times but to no avail. Every room he went to was as disheveled as the living room. He was desperate now. He needed to find Lestrade and the bedroom was his last hope. "Please be in there Lestrade," said Holmes exasperatedly.

When he went in, she wasn't there. He sighed a very heavy sigh. "Where are you Lestrade?" he asked to the walls. Just as he said that, something caught his attention. It was a note. "Moriarty!" he hissed. The note read, "Don't worry, she is still alive. I'll give you a clue to where Lestrade and I are. The place is a hundred years older than you."

"Moriarty, you had better not do anything stupid to her or I will kill you," said Holmes darkly, stomping out of Lestrade's apartment to go to his.


At Holmes apartment.

"You mean Lestrade is in danger? We have to call the Yard!" exclaimed Watson.

"No, Watson. You know as much as I do that Moriarty will hurt her if I don't go alone," said Holmes gravely. "I have to do this alone. I am her only hope now."

Watson nodded in agreement. He knows that he cannot change Holme's mind now that it is set. "Do you know where she is?"

"Yes. It's a building about half an hour away from here – The Old London National Library." Holmes stated with a glimmer of determination in his eyes. "Take me there Watson."

All Watson could do is nod.


"Oh, my aching head," moaned Lestrade. When she opened her eyes, Moriarty was right in her face. It gave her such a fright that she cried out a shrill scream. Moriarty had to cover his ears and back away from her a few meters. "My dear Lestrade. How nice to see you awake again," stated Moriarty in a singsong tone.

"Moriarty! Where in the zedding world am I?" hollered the Inspector.

"Oh, somewhere where all the documents of history is being kept."

"I swear, if I wasn't so tied up right now I would have torn you limb from limb!"

"Oh, really? Hahaha! I did this to get to Holmes, my dear." Said Moriarty as a matter of fact. "You see, it is very easy to get Holmes once you get the person he cares for so much."

"You rat! Holmes will come and get you! He always does, no matter how brilliantly you planned it!"

"That's just my point. He always does save the day no matter what I do. But not when I hold the person he loves hostage. He will surrender to me. I will see to it that today will be the end of the great Sherlock Holmes!"

Just as he said that, the doors to the old library burst open. And there he was Sherlock Holmes.

"Holmes!" exclaimed Lestrade happily.

"Lestrade!" exclaimed Holmes.

Lestrade tried to get up from the floor but she was slow. Moriarty grabbed hold of her and pointed an ironizer at her head. "Don't try anything funny, Holmes! One wrong move and it will be the end of your loved one!" screamed Moriarty

Holmes stopped in his tracks. Seeing Lestrade held hostage and was at the brink of being killed made his heart rip into pieces. He didn't want Lestrade to die. "Moriarty, let her go, and you can take me. Don't kill her." Said Holmes.

Lestrade gave him a look that was asking, "What do you think you are doing?" Holmes looked her in the eyes as if to say, "I know what I'm doing."

"How sweet. Exchange her for you? That's just too easy Holmes. Are you not going to put up a fight?" asked Moriarty, teasing Holmes.

"No." said Holmes immediately.

Lestrade's eyes widened in shock. "Sherlock, no! Don't do it!" her cries fell on deaf ears.

Moriarty's eyes glazed over, he smiled and then screamed, "Fenwick, do it!"

Out of the blue, Fenwick appeared holding a revolver. Holmes anticipated that he was going to call out for his henchman. He quickly ran over to Fenwick and gave him an uppercut that knocked him out cold. Fenwick didn't even have enough time to react.

"What! That is impossible!" said Moriarty, bewildered.

"You see Moriarty, before I came here, I wore heat seeking contact lenses. Even in the shadows, I can see Fenwick." Holmes stated triumphantly.

Lestrade took the advantage of Moriarty being dazed and kick him where the sun doesn't shine. Moriarty instantly let the ironizer and Lestrade go. He bent down to grab his dick and groaned in pain.

Lestrade ran straight into Holme's arms. "Sherlock, you scared me to death."

"I am after all the great detective you know." Mused Holmes while still holding the inspector in his arms. After a few seconds, realization struck him that they have to get out of the old library before Moriarty recovered.

"Lets go Beth." Said Holmes hurriedly.

Both of them ran out to Holme's hovercraft where Watson was waiting.

"Lestrade! You are alright!" said Watson. "Here, let me get you untied."

When she was untied, Watson gave her a hearty bear hug, which Lestrade returned. "It's good to see you too Watson."

"Let's go home everybody. Moriarty is still in there." Hurriedly, the trio hopped in to the hovercraft with Watson behind the wheel.

"NO!" screamed Moriarty in defeat. "I will get you next time Holmes and you pesky girlfriend too!"


Lestrade spent the whole afternoon at 221b helping to put up the Christmas decorations since her house was in a mess and most of the things had to be replaced. She was just glad that she was safe at last.

Holmes too was glad. She wasn't hurt in any way. Holmes decided that Lestrade would stay at his place until all her house is homely again, which would take at least a month. He was glad but did not show it in his face but his heart.
