I woke up once more and I was tied to a chair, chains around my wrists and I could feel alot of blood dripping down my head. I looked down and saw my jacket was ripped in a few places. I struggled to look around and I groaned

'Tage' I heard John say and I looked to my left to find John tied to a chair beside me and next to him was a women who was tied and gagged

'Hello' I muttered

'What happened?' I asked, not remembering anything after being with Sherlock, John and Soo Ling in the museum

'You got kidnapped in the museum by Zhi Zhu, who killed Soo Ling' John explained sadly and I nodded my head.

'This is Sarah, my date' John said introducing me to the woman tied and gagged next to him.

'Hello' I said calmly and she nodded back but anyone could tell she was terrified.

'A book is like a magic garden, carried in your pocket' a woman said as her and some big men walked down to us. I looked around; it looked like we are in a giant pipe but I couldn't see much in the little light

'Chinese proverb, Mr and Mrs Holmes' the woman said to John and I

'I'm not Sherlock Holmes' John said at the same time I said

'I'm not Mrs Holmes'

'Forgive me if I do not take your words for it' She sneered

'Ow' John muttered as the woman grabbed his wallet out

'debit card, name of S Holmes' the Woman read out

'Yes, that's not actually mine, he lent that to me' John explained

'And a cheque for $5000 made out in the names of Mr Sherlock Holmes' the woman continued

'Yeah, he gave me that to look after' John explained again

'Tickets from the theatre collected by you, name of Holmes' the woman continued

'Yes, ok, I realise what this looks like but I'm not him' John tried to explain

'We heard it from your own mouth' the woman explained

'What?' John asked confused while I looked from the woman to John

'I am Sherlock Holmes and I always work alone' she said

'Did I really say that?' John asked confused

'You yelled it when Sherlock and I was in the apartment' I whispered to him and a look of realisation fell upon his face

'Ah yes Mrs, Holmes' the woman turned to me

'I am not Mrs. Holmes, you however are Shan, the Black Lotus general' I said back to her my voice firm, her eyes showed surprised but it was gone quickly and she walked up to me

'Only Mrs. Holmes would be able to find that out about me and would travel around with Sherlock Holmes on a daily basis' Shan explained, her face inches from mine

'If you knew anything at all, you would know Sherlock Holmes is not married and does not have a sister, therefore there is no possible way that I could be a Holmes' I sneered at her, surprising John. Shan hit me across the head with her gun and turned back to John

'As Mrs. Holmes as pointed out. I am Shan; three times we tried to kill you Mr. Holmes. What does it tell you when an assassin cannot shoot straight?' Shan asked with a gun pointed to Johns head

'That they are not really trying' I muttered before I could stop myself, but I achieved my goal. Shan was now pointing her gun at me

'Are you sure about that Mrs. Holmes' Shan asked me with a sick smile on her face

I looked in her eyes and mentally smiled. I nodded my head at her and Shan pulled the trigger only for nothing to happen

'Very good Mrs. Holmes' she sneered at me. She grabbed another gun and pointed it at John

'Not blank bullets now' Shan explained

'Ok' John said breathing heavily

'If we wanted to kill you Mr. Holmes, we would have done it by now. We just want to make you inquisitive. Do you have it?' Shan asked curiously

'Do I have what?' John asked confused

'The treasure' Shan said

'I don't know what you're talking about' John said

'I would prefer to make certain' Shan said as she revealed an ancient Chinese arrow shooting device. They are deadly, I quickly noted.

'Everything in the West has its price, and the price for her life – information' Shan said as 2 of the males went to grab Sarah's chair, who started to freak out

'Wait!' I shouted and they stopped while Shan looked at me.

'Wouldn't it make more sense if it was me, I mean I am Mrs. Holmes and that is Mr. Holmes, wouldn't he be more likely to tell information if it was my life' I explained quickly looking at a frightened Sarah and a pleading John. Shan thought about it for a moment

'If he does not talk for her than we will use you' Shan stated with nod before the men continued to place Sarah in front of the arrow device

'Where's the hairpin?' Shan asked

'What?' John asked annoyed and scared

'The empress pin valued at 9 million, we already have a buyer in the West and then one of our people was greedy and he took it, brought it back to London and you, Mr. Holmes have been searching' Shan said getting annoyed

'Please, please, listen to me, I'm not Sherlock Holmes, you have to believe me. I haven't found what you're looking for' John said struggling against his bonds.

'I need a volunteer from the audience' Shan shouted as if she was doing a show. I could see down the end of the pipe a shadow, I wasn't certain if it was Sherlock but I took my chance.

'Wait!' I shouted again

'If you hurt her I won't tell you where it is' I said venomously to Shan

'You are lying' Shan said but she was uncertain

'Are you willing to take that chance Shan? Kill her and I'll take it to my grave' I snapped at her.

'I will make you talk' Shan said as she stabbed the bag of sand.

'I doubt that, I have been through worse than anything you could do to me and you just sealed you fate, in which you will never find the pin' I said dangerously to her. John looked at me confused but I ignored him

'I'm not Sherlock Holmes' John shouted

'I don't believe you' Shan said

'You should you know, Sherlock Holmes is nothing at all like him' Sherlock shouted from in the darkness. I smirked but then realised the sand was still falling.

'How would you describe me John?' Sherlock asked

'Resourceful, dynamic, enigmatic' Sherlock continued to say while Shan walked towards the voice

'Late' John muttered.

'That's a semi-automatic. If you fire it, the bullet will travel at over 1,000 metres per second' Sherlock said from the darkness

'Well?' Shan asked

'Well,' Sherlock said as he ran through the darkness, knocking out a man

'The radius curvature of these walls is nearly hour metres. If you miss, the bullet will ricochet, could hit anyone, might even bounce off the tunnel and hit you' Sherlock said before running and knocking over one of the fire barrels creating light in the tunnel

Sherlock appeared behind Sarah and started trying to untie her.

'Sherlock behind you' I shouted but the man already had tied something around Sherlock's neck chocking him.

Sherlock tried to fight back as I struggled to get out of my chains; Sarah was looking at the arrow pointed at her, scared while John was trying to move his chair towards the arrow device. I groaned loudly as I managed to pop my shoulder out of place while trying to get out of my chains. John's chair fell over and as the sand continued to fall, Sherlock was continuing to try to fight against his opponent and just as the arrow shot, John moved the device and it got Sherlock's opponent in the gut, killing him. Everyone sighed in relief as Sherlock quickly untied Sarah

'It's ok, it's over now' Sherlock whispered to Sarah

'Don't worry; next date won't be like this' John said from the fall as I rolled my eyes at him. Sarah continued to cry as Sherlock quickly untied John, who ran over to Sarah and wrapped his arms around her.

Sherlock came over to me next, he swore as he saw I was chained not bound by ropes, he knelt down in front of me and grabbed my face lightly

'Are you ok Tage?' He whispered to me and I nodded while looking into his eyes.

'Injuries' he asked

'My shoulder is dislocated, my head is bleeding, and possible broken ribs' I listed off the top of my head.

'Ok, I need to pick the lock and then I can put your shoulder back in ok Tage' Sherlock said softly to me and I nodded.

He went around to the back and fiddled with the chains for a moment before they fell off me. He did the same to the ones around my legs. I looked down at my wrists and saw they were bleeding badly. I looked up to see Sherlock's concerned eyes watching me. I wrapped my arms around him as he did the same back. He gentle lifted me too my feet but as I put pressure on my left foot I almost screamed out in pain, Sherlock lifted me off the ground to relieve the pressure. I looked down and saw my ankle was bloodied and bruised. Sherlock picked me up bridal style and carried me out of, what I suddenly realised was the tramway.

The police were already there when we got out, John must have called them. Sherlock walked past Dimmock while still carrying me, I was half conscious against his chest.

'We'll just slip off, no need to mention us in your report' Sherlock stated

'Mr. Holmes . . . 'Dimmock started to say

'I have high hopes for you inspector, a glittering career' Sherlock said truthfully

'I go where you point me' Dimmock said

'Exactly' Sherlock said as we walked towards John and Sarah

'Is she awake?' Sarah said her voice shaking badly

'Just' Sherlock whispered as he looked down at me

'Thank you Tage' Sarah muttered and I smiled weakly at her before falling into unconsciousness.
