Hey guys, I'm really sorry that I haven't been updating, and I'm afraid this isn't a proper one either. I've been too busy and tired to write the ending, but I am working my butt off to ensure this gets to you guys before Xmas and the release of the new Sherlock!

However, rather than leave you with just an AN, I've given you the opening and all I have written so far for Chapter 10, a which will be up as soon as it is completed.

Chapter 10

"I need to have a word with Merlin Holmes.."

"I'm afraid that the matter is private business..."

"Hi there. The name's Jim Moriarty. You must be Merlin Holmes!"

"He cast you aside the moment he was done playing with you!"

The memories flickered before his eyes, making his brain hurt and bringing him closer to consciousness.

"I mean, think of all the things we could do together. All the crime we could bring, the terror and the thrill swirling around you. Everyone, everywhere, fearing the very mention of your name!"

"Merlin, are you there?"

Voices were mixing with the memories as his vision became lighter.

"I need to see how much pain Drug M causes, before I try any of it on myself."

"Merlin! Oh my god, I've found him!"

He started to realise who the voices were, what they wanted.

"God Sherlock there he is!"

John?

"Merlin! Merlin don't worry we'll get you down! Just stay calm."

Mycroft.

"I always win Sherly, surely you know that by now."

Moriarty.

"No! Merlin! Let him go you... prat!"

Arthur.

And with that Merlin's eyes snapped open, to find himself hanging from his arms, with a bomb strapped to his chest counting down to zero.
