The format is extra super weird on this one and I'm not too happy with it as a whole. *shrug*

Anything? JW [sent at 12:12]
I'm afraid not. The number we thought would lead us to Sherlock wasn't a working one. I'm sorry. MH [sent at 12:14]
It's not your fault. JW [sent at 12:15]
I am aware it's not. MH [sent at 12:15]
Doctor Watson, I see you have been trying your hardest to help find your friend. It's adorable. [sent at 18:34]
I mean, how many friends would take time off work just because their flatmate is missing? You are very loyal. [sent at 18:35]
I said I'd make this a game, and a game it shall be. I think Sherly's had enough of me now, why don't you come find him? [sent at 18:36]
Bart's Hospital seems like a nice place to play our game, don't you think? I've had enough of the rooftop though, I think you can imagine why. The morgue seems like a much nicer place to be at the moment, and Molly Hooper was so kind as to let us borrow it. [sent at 18:37]
I'll give you half an hour. Come alone. [sent at 18:38]
You bastard. JW [sent at 18:40]
That's not very nice, John! Sherlock didn't appreciate that, he already had some nasty scars before you sent that. [sent at 18:44]
You'd better hurry. [sent at 18:44]
Nice of you to join us, Doctor! [sent at 19:04]
Yes, of course it's me, didn't you listen to Mycroft? [sent at 19:05]
Texting seems like more fun. I know Sherlock prefers it. Why don't you try? [sent at 19:05]
No? Maybe Sherlock would like you to... [sent at 19:06]
What is this, Jim? [sent at 19:06]
Oh! Jim! I like that, nobody ever seems to want to be casual with me like you, apparently. And in too much of a rush to sign off? Shame, I've always thought your JW was very cute. [sent at 19:07]
What do you want! [sent at 19:07]
I'm bored! I'm sure Sherlock can understand that, can't he? Well, I can assure you neither of us have been bored for the past couple of days. [sent at 19:08]
What have you done! [sent at 19:10]
Sherlock wasn't kidding, you are a slow texter, aren't you? I think you can see the damage I have done, at least the physical. [sent at 19:10]
Nothing to say to that? That's really too bad. If you'll look behind you, you'll see my Sebastian. He certainly has been a great help with this whole game, he's so sweet. Go on, turn around and wave! [sent at 19:12]
That's it. Now, see that gun he's holding? Can you figure out what will happen if you don't answer me, Doctor Watson? [sent at 19:13]
Yes. [sent at 19:13]
Good! But with the end bit, too. If you don't mind. [sent at 19:14]
Fine. JW [sent at 19:14]
You are a wonderful sport! Now, I can't just give him back to you, that would be too easy. [sent at 19:14]
What, then? JW [sent at 19:15]
I haven't really figured that part out yet, unfortunately. [sent at 19:15]
Why don't you stop mouthing to Sherlock, hm? I can see you doing that. [sent at 19:15]
Sorry. JW [sent at 19:16]
You're sorry? That's not a good answer at all, is it? I think Sherlock will look nice with another mark on his pretty skin... [sent at 19:16]
You bastard. JW [sent at 19:17]
Again with the name calling! I don't like, that, Johnny. [sent at 19:17]
What do you want! JW [sent at 19:18]
I'd certainly like to have a few of Mycroft's passwords and such. That seems like it could be a fair trade. [sent at 19:18]
What do you want with those? JW [sent at 19:19]
Well, as you so nicely put it once in a text to our dear Sherlock, he is "Mr. The British Government". [sent at 19:20]
You saw our texts? JW [sent at 19:20]
Of course I did, Johnny! I couldn't resist. But about the passwords... [sent at 19:21]
I haven't got them. JW [sent at 19:21]
You haven't? That's really too bad! I guess this whole thing was a waste for you both, unless you can think of a way to get them... [sent at 19:22]
Fine. Fine. I'll phone Mycroft. JW [sent at 19:22]
That seems like a wonderful idea! [sent at 19:23]
Feel free to mention me, I don't mind. [sent at 19:23]
[Outgoing call to: Mycroft Holmes]
[call accepted]
"John? Have you got Sherlock?"
"That's, uh, why I was calling."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm, uh, actually in the room with Moriarty. He's got Sherlock. I can see him."
"Why're you calling, John."
"Moriarty -Jim, rather- would like some of your passwords in exchange for Sherlock, I guess."
"You guess?"
"Well, no, that's what he said."
"..."
"Mycroft?"
"..."
"We've got to do it, Mycroft, he's your brother."
"I know. Pass the phone to Jim."
"Mycroft! Nice to speak to you."
"..."
"Yes, I think those ones will do."
"..."
"I completely understand."
"..."
"Yes, hold on a second -Seb, have you got a pen? May I borrow it? Thank you, dear- go on."
"..."
"Interesting choice -John, stop mouthing to Sherlock, it's distracting- sorry, continue?"
"..."
"Alright, yes. Thank you for being so cooperative, Mycroft, dear!"
"..."
"Yes, yes, I will. I think John and Sherlock are just about ready to pounce on each other, they can't go long without seeing one another, can they?"
"..."
"Bye, dear..."
