Chapter 4: The plan

The trap was set, now all they had to do was wait. God waiting is boring. Can Moriarty just hurry up and show? Sherlock was wishing he had John's gun so he could shoot the wall to relieve his boredom. No, not now he has to pay attention. A single wrong move and John will die.

Suddenly Moriarty burst through the door holding a gun. Sherlock instantly took his chance and jumped him. They got into an intense fight. Why didn't Moriarty shoot through? He has a gun, he could end it quickly. So why hasn't he?

Sherlock noticed something odd out of the corner of his eyes. The room flickered like a light. The mirrors reflections were off. How could he be so stupid? It hit him like a bullet from Moriarty's gun, which Moriarty had finally fired. Sherlock had narrowly dodged it.

Moriarty knocked Sherlock out with a frying pan and dragged him out of the room. When Sherlock 'woke up' he was on the rooftop of St Bart's.

His head suddenly burned with pain. His mind flashed back to the day. The day that he 'died.' He saw Moriarty shoot himself. No, there's no way Moriarty could've survived that. But then why was Moriarty standing in front of him? Conclusion none of this is real. He must be dreaming.

"Have you figured it out yet?"

"Yes."

"Well done I should give you a gold star."

"What do you want?"

"Oh you know what I want!"

"To kill all my 'friends', of course. How predictable."

"Very clever. Top of the class. But now that you've worked it out I have to change my plan."

"Do whatever you want, none of this is real."

"It's very real, Sherlock."

Moriarty walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He saw himself tied up hanging from a ceiling. Slowly dying. Moriarty let go and laughed. "You can't win Sherlock."

"I wouldn't be so sure. If I stay here I lose."

"If you leave here you also lose."

"If I don't I die here, I die there."

"Look, this is all real. You can chose whether or not you want to believe your petty fantasy that this isn't real. But you have to be willing to pay the price. See you later Sherlock."
