I loved the prompt for this! Though the word seemed too evil for John or Sherlock. It seemed to whip out a bit of the old Jim. Especially when the word is Machinations (not the band).
Jim Moriarty use to watch security tapes of Sherlock whilst plotting out his next move.
The singular light from the monitor filled the room as the man stared aimlessly at the screen. His finger fixed on the pause button. On the screen the tiny figure of Sherlock Holmes dances around the place. From one location to another, trailing an unimportant character behind him. Jim hit the pause button as Sherlock turned to face a camera. There he was. Cheekbones and all.
"Daddy knows exactly what to do with you." He whispered before hitting the play button again. It wasn't long before he was watching another tape of Sherlock with that unimportant man again. Though this time the unimportant man seemed to stick out more. He hadn't been in many of the other videos.
Pausing the tape on the face of the unimportant man, he picked up his phone and messaged Moran to get every piece of detail he could about him. It didn't take long before his phone beeped the details to him. After skim reading the message he looked from the monitor, at the unimportant man, to a new shipment of C4 he had just gotten. As he turned to look back at the man on his monitor a sly grin crept up onto his face. "Oh Daddy knows just exactly what to do with you."
