10. Wash Away Those Years

X

Now you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's all right
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
- "Wash Away Those Years" by Creed

You've found Moriarty, you are certain. You call Lestrade and tell him the address. Two hours later he texts you and you breath a sigh of relief. Moriarty is dead, shot by his own men when they realized that the police had them. John is safe.

When you tell him, he is stunned. Then, slowly, he begins to cry and laugh at the same time. The two of you are hugging as though you man still be pulled from each other by Moriarty.

He is still damaged, but the threat is over. Now you can help him heal in peace.
