I'd like to take the time to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, as well as thanking my one reviewer, Clufie, and anyone who followed either me or the story. I don't own any of the Sherlock characters. (Something you should be glad about...)
This chapter is a whole lot shorter than the other one according to the word count, so I apologise for the shortness.
After ten minutes of silence, Molly cautiously poked her head up, checking for any signs of activity. There was nothing to indicate any human presence besides her and Mrs Hudson, so she quickly walked to the phone on Mrs Hudson's wall and dialled Scotland Yard.
"I need to talk to Lestrade. It's urgent, Sherlock has been taken."
There was a brief period of silence on the other end of the line, before the call was diverted and a very harassed Lestrade answered.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Molly piped up, "It's Molly. Molly Hooper. I work at St Barts?"
Lestrade was alarmed at the flustered tone of her voice, and calmly asked her step by step as to what had happened that day.
"This morning, I was woken up by a bang in my house. I thought nothing of it, thinking it was the cat and went to make sure it was ok. When I got to the kitchen..." Molly's voice faltered as she relived the terror of seeing a man dressed in a suit with a goblin mask on. She couldn't get the image of the haunting eyes out of her head. Lestrade's voice broke through her thoughts.
"Molly? Are you ok? Let me know where you are, I'll come to you."
"Oh. Uhhhh... sorry. I'm at 221 Baker Street."
"Ok, I'm leaving now. Is there anyone with you?"
"Yes. Oh, yes, there's me and Mrs Hudson. And about five or so men in the front room. They're all knocked out I think..."
Lestrade noted this. "Ok, Molly, I need you to ask Mrs Hudson if she has any cable ties, duct tape, anything that would be able to restrain these guys out front."
Mrs Hudson quickly opened a drawer full of duct tape.
"Yes, yes she has duct tape."
"Ok. Now I want you to go out the front and tape all of their hands, and arms together, behind them. Do one at the wrists, and another just below the elbow joint. Also, if you have enough do their ankles and just above their knees. Make sure you get as much skin as possible, try to avoid taping over their clothes of you can. I'll be there soon."
"Ok. Thank you. I'll go and do that now."
"Molly. Try to stay safe. Tape the ones who don't look physically harmed first, they're more likely to wake up or be more of a problem when they do. I should arrive in about five to ten minutes, depending on traffic."
"Alright, thank you. Thank you so much. Please hurry." And with that Molly, put down the phone, grabbed three rolls of tape, and set to work, with Mrs Hudson following her and helping out. After they had taped the men's arms, elbows, wrists, ankles, and knees, Molly decided to tape their mouths. They didn't want anyone waking up and making a fuss, after all.
Like I said. Short. I'm sorry. Let me know if it's bothering you, and I'll group two of my 'chapters' together. It will shorten the amount of time it will take for this thing to be published though...
Again, please review, if possible I'd like to have 2 (two!) for this chapter.
