Haaaiii guys! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOORRY for the delay, I've been so stressed out by my summer courses and then I've just got the Sherlolly bug so I was scouring that here on FF LOL. I hope this chapter is ok, so sorry it's so short, but I should have the next one up shortly. Thanks again!

*Sherlock's POV*

Moriarty just point-blank shot himself.

This was not the plan.

He didn't think he man would have such little self worth hat he would just shoot himself.

Of course now John and Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade were in danger.

Unless he jumped.

It's a good thing he did not mention Molly, at least she was safe.

But the timing.

The timing was all wrong.

His full team of the homeless network hadn't yet inconspicuously assembled at random spots.

Of course now even if he were to survive this, John would have to believe he was dead.

There was now only one way to do that.

He would have to take the risk and jump.

If he jumped but angled his bod with his feet perpendicular to the ground, then there's a chance he could avoid major injuries.

Of course if he dived headlong that would be asking for immediate death.

He couldn't keep up with the panic that was rising within his chest.

A dim smog was settling over his mind palace, he couldn't think rationally.

His only coherent thoughts was to call John and then jump, and pray his trajectory and angling saves him for the worst.

His whirring mind forgot about the plan, the rubber ball in his pocket, his homeless network.

His emotions were going haywire.

He prepared for the worst.

He left his note for John, instructed them to tell his equivalent of a 'goodbye' to his friends, and Molly, and anyone else who listened.

He had to protect them.

He may be on the side of angels, but just this once, the devil spider had won.

He took yet another step.

Spread out his arms to embrace his destiny. Or doom.

And jumped.

I really don't like this chapter... at ALL, but it's something, and hopefully the next will be MUCH better :/
