Chapter Five
"You enjoy messing with me, don't you?"
"You do provide me with a constant source of entertainment."
"Thanks Sherlock, glad you are back to your normal, irritating and brilliant self."
"You are Welcome"
John and I are joking around.
We dis-board the cargo ship, never did catch its name. The Captain seemed to welcome our departure. John says if I'm to remain anonymous I should mind my deductions. I was bored. He can deal with it. John has said that leaving him behind, even through good intentions was not a bit good, not a bit not good, but not good. He said, and I feel this to be wise of him that it is possible that we make our fear bad ourselves by always imagining that the worst is bound to happen. But considering our circumstances at the time of 'the jump' as now called. I cannot see another way I could have done it without losing John.
We are silently walking through a crowded dock. No one pays us any heed. We continue to the road and hail a cab. I have borrowed form one of the dockworkers again. John is displeased. His face to easy to read.
"You disapprove." A statement not a question.
"I have Australian Dollars Sherlock, traded Michael last night."
"Michael?"
"The Captain Sherlock, really, you should know better"
"Hmmm, Moran and Happy Rayne, really, with a name like that, it is no wonder he followed his brother."
"You're one to talk Sherlock and Mycroft"
"How did you find out about Rayne anyway?"
"Friends from the Army, now in ASIO"
"Ah, nice contact, breach of security telling you though isn't it?"
"I used my MI6 clearance."
"You don't have MI6 clearance"
"Mycroft does. A bit of hacking and pocket picking later…"
"You have learnt well"
"There is Shane."
We have been sitting in this vehicle for three hours, 32 minutes and 34, 35, 36 seconds. We are being taken to Shanes' place. He has Intel on Rayne and Moran. They have been spotted at Tangalooma Island. A paradise resort off the mainland. Before we go there though, we have to be briefed. Australian laws must be followed or we might be punished.
Boring.
I look at the map. The boarding dock for the ferry is back where we disembarked the cargo ship. I mention this; Shane explains secret location for clearance, immunity as it where.
We are armed. They LET me have a weapon. John says he'll be taking it off me after wards.
Shane and ASIO agreed not to inform the world of my current existence in the living world. I have told them my story, and John his. They offer us a position and citizenship. We politely decline. We miss London.
We are on the Tangalooma Express. We are armed. And we are coming. Moran and Rayne are at a pub having lunch. We are disguised. There are under cover agents at the island already. The hunter gets his prey. Moran and Rayne are taken alive and helicoptered out.
They are questioned by ASIO and us. MI6 arrive as I disappear with John out the back door. I have all the data I need. Their computers documents. Moriarty's information database.
ASIO and the Worlds other secret services will deal with the rest of the parties.
John and I are going home. I am tired. I am falling asleep.
