Chapter 19: The Calvary is Coming

"FOR GOD'S SAKES, GIVE IT SOME GAS!" John shouted.

"I'm going as fast as it can! " the mysterious driver ,Nigel had sent, cried.

"Oi, just a second ,Dad. Hey! Can you two pipe down, Daddy's trying to give me the line of code that will stop Sherlock from getting killed, and it's a tiny bit important I get the numbers right."

So John shut his trap, and balanced on his knees, picking at a comb he found in the dash.

"Trying to look nice for Holmes? You know, there's a reason people talk about you two, despite the fact you're married to his sister..."

John smiled, "Funny, or a decent attempt at humor, but actually, if you have to ask, I'm turning it into something that can kill you!" He flicked the comb out of the little metallic holster that looked like a harmonica's body. Slid the comb off the little metal wand it was on, and started filing the body of the wand against a nail file, to make it's already somewhat sharp sides to be knife-like,

The driver looked away from him almost horrified.

"Oi , what you doin' now?" he gasped, when he felt John's rough finger's swipe at his ear.

"You had a pen behind your ear. Gonna use that too, if that's quite alright with you."

"How many diffrent ways can you kill someone?"

"Usually around a few hundred. When it's Sherlock I have to kill for, the possibilities are endless..."

"O-k..well I'm just Nigel's driver-don't take nothing out on me!"

"Give it as much gas as it can take, and you have no worries, mate."John gasped, ripping open the insides of a throw-away camera he found in the console, tweaking it to be used as a tazer.

"OhhhhmmmmyyyGoooood,..."The driver moaned, eyeing John suspiciously, and then dodging on-coming traffic.

"If it helps at all, I know just as many ways to save a life." John laughed at the kid(he realized he was probably at least 10 years younger than him, and he was only in his mid- 30's).

"Hope so-for your friend's sake.I see smoke..." the kid said, as they came screetching in to the warehouse ,on two wheels.

"Ok, ok,I'll stay on the line. You may need to repeat it a few times, but I've written it down..."Mary was saying into the phone, as she and John filed out, while the car was still rolling ,albeit slowly.

The air smelled harsh like chemicals, as if Moriarty had been tampering with his device ,recently.

"Don't worry, Sherlock, the Calvary's coming."John gasped, as Mary motioned him towards the door they could get in through.
