Part of the 221 Collection - Part Two of Reichenbach Falls

The Calm before the fall

I am woken from my slumbers by a text. I lie for a moment, an entanglement of naked limps and unspoken loyalty, my eyes slowly adjusting to the morning sunlight. I sigh, reluctantly slipping from the warmth of my lover's embrace, reach for my phone and read the message.

'Come and play. Bart's Hospital rooftop. SH. PS. Got something of yours you might want back'.

I shower, washing the lingering, pungent memory of last night away. I dress in my dark Westwood suit, knot my tie, slick back my hair and stand for a moment admiring myself in the mirror. Dark soulless eyes stare back at me, lips curled into a sadistic smile as I know the final problem will soon be solved. I slip a packet of gum and my phone into my pocket, then shudder as I feel the weight of my woollen coat carefully draped over my shoulders.

I turn around to see Sebastian Moran standing behind me. I reach up and brush my fingertips across his scarred, unshaven cheek. I can hear these words 'I love you Tiger' echoing in my head but I just can't say them out loud. My throat tightens, suddenly dry and I withdraw my touch. "Let's go to work" I say slowly walking away from the only person I have ever loved.
