Chapter 5: The Chase

One the boys were out of the pub and in to the streets of London once more that day, Holmes is all ready down the road while Watson looked around and notice that it's getting slightly darker so it looks like it's getting later through out the day. Shaking his head, he turned and started chasing after Holmes and Lee down the streets, knowing that this isn't over yet till Lee is caught and the explanations as well.

Holmes just a metre or so behind Lee as he is keeping a straight face and knew that this is going to be a long night and to be honest, he is glad that he got a friend like Watson as he can feel that he is not that far behind him and that they will get Lee whether or not it goes to plan.

Chasing him through the streets and even over some walls, Holmes isn't going to let him get away from him that easily and yet he isn't out of breath. He knows that Watson will toggle behind due to his injured leg but he doesn't mind. A lot is going through his mind at this moment.

Lee jumps over another fence as he was no longer drunk, so maybe it was a act after all, pushing some people here and there and hoping that he get rid of Holmes. He looked behind him now and then and just rolled his eyes as he couldn't believe that this guy won't even give up! He notice that the other guy who doesn't seem that he was having trouble of running is out of slight. 'What a relief.'

But then someone pushed Lee right to the side and got him pinned to the ground. He is shocked but as he looks up to see of who he is struggling against, he notice that it's the stupid companion of this other guy who been chasing after him all this time.

"Got you." He said.

Holmes came by his side and started chasing his breath as he smiles to himself and is proud of Watson's achievement. "Well done my dear boy."

Watson looks up towards him and gave him a nod before looking back down towards Lee. "Explain now Lee."

Lee seems scared now as he looks towards him before turning back towards Holmes as he finally looks down and started crying.

Holmes raised a eye brow as he watched him and for once, he doesn't understand.

Watson looks towards him and frowned for a moment before turning back towards the guy. "Lee?"

Lee looks up. "Yeah?" He said silently.

"Are you feeling all right?"

"Not…really."

By then, Holmes can tell that Watson got this one under control so he gave him a smile as he turned and left them to it as he notice a small market down the road and thought to check things out. He started looking at things.

Watson eyes watched him leave before he turned and looked back towards Lee and let him go but Lee didn't moved as he got his knees and started snuggling in to himself.

John sat next to him, back leaning against the wall as he took a breather now and then. "Take your time."

Lee nodded as he still didn't move after a while.

It had been a whole and at least half an hour full of silence.

"It's my entire fault."

"Hu….What do you mean it's your fault Lee?"

"If she didn't flirt and the other guy….I was about to propose but she did that…" Lee said through tears.

Watson is a patient person and is listening to him as he gently tip his head to the side for a moment or so before looking ahead once more, hands on his knees as waiting for more information.

"She went out of th…the pub….down….the alleyway and met him…tha..sick person…and well everyone thought I was drunk but wasn't and well I went after her and killed her and him."

"Him as well?" Watson didn't expected that as he turned his head towards him and was shocked of what he just mention.

Lee turned his head towards him, head nodding as his eyes were red due to the tears. He faced him for a moment before he looked back towards the house in-front of them. "Yes."

"Lee, I need you to tell him of where he is now."

"Just in the next alleyway up the street here. Just take me in please." Lee said as he looks down and couldn't look at Watson in the eye.

Watson nodded as he got up and held an arm out for him. He gently pulled him up and started walking down the streets towards of where Holmes is. Holmes came back as he got something, rope or something in his hands, and got Lee by the arms and started tying his hands together as Watson left him to it.

Watson started following the directions of where Lee mentions of where the body is and looked around as he started walking down the alleyway and raise a eye brow before feeling something against his foot and then realise that it's the body of what Lee mentions. "Here we go."
