Here is chapter 3 everybody, hope ya like it!
Riley glanced at her clock on her computer it telling her it was 3:30. Only five minutes after the last time she checked it. She growled under her breath, having had a gut feeling all frickin day. She glanced at her team; her father, Gibbs, was staring down a cold case file as if his glare alone would scare it into giving him a lead to solve it, McGee was typing speedily (probably finishing up on his late paperwork that Gibbs yelled at him about earlier), Tony was staring at his computer screen acting as though he was working when he was probably playing a video game, and Ziva looked like she was about to kill her computer with a paperclip. Just a normal slow day at NCIS, nothing to be worried about but Riley felt as though something was wrong. She looked back down at the file she was looking at before and stared at it with a blank stare.
A few minutes later the elevator dinged. The mail boy wheeled his cart throughout the floor and slowly made his way toward the MCRT's bullpen. He put a few letters on Ziva and Tony's desks, and moved toward Riley's desk and said, "Someone is thinking of you, Agent Black." Riley looked up, along with everyone else on Team Gibbs, and saw a vase of roses sitting at the edge of her desk. The mail boy smiled at her before moving on.
Riley looked at the flowers in confusion, before looking for a note. After some moving of stems she found it and pulled the little card off the stick. She opened it and after reading it through once, froze. She read through it again with mounting horror.
There once was a genius king who fell in love with a lowly commoner named Riley. They met when the king saved the young commoner from an unwanted advance.
After some days the mighty king decided to court the lowly commoner. They unexpectedly married and had a handsome prince named Adam.
Years passed and the family was happy until commoner Riley left the Genius King with Prince Adam.
Genius King was horribly sad for years; his lowly commoner was gone along with his beloved son.
Then he met King Moriarty. They battled in wits until King Moriarty grew bored with Genius King and his angel ways. So King Moriarty decided to play a new game.
Commoner Riley, King Moriarty wants to invite you to his game of fun. Prince Adam has already joined the game, wont you play?
King Moriarty would like Commoner Riley to tell Genius King that let the game begin.
-King Moriarty
Riley unfroze and lunged for her desk phone and hurriedly dialed her son's number. Her team mates looked at her in alarm, and started moving closer to her desk.
Riley listened to the ringing and heard the phone be picked up.
"Hello, Commoner Riley." Riley paled and shakily said, "Who is this? Where is Adam?" The team looked even more alarmed, McGee moved to his computer and started to trace the cell phone.
"Prince Adam is busy playing the game, Commoner Riley. To get Prince Adam back in one piece you're going to have to play the game. Oh, and tell King Sherlock that the weather is wonderful here in the States and to hurry over." The phone was hung up and Riley stared at the phone in her hand and collapsed into her seat. Gibbs lunged for his daughter when he saw her fall into her chair. Riley handed him the card that came with the roses.
Gibbs looked at her, "Is this?" Riley nodded to him, already knowing his question. "Riley, call Sherlock. Get him here." Gibbs told her. Riley looked at him and nodded. She got up shakily and took out her cell phone, starting to walk toward the elevator. Once she got in, she pulled a Gibbs and stopped the elevator. She scrolled through her phone for Sherlock's number and pressed send. While putting the phone to her ear, she slowly slid down the walls of the elevator.
"Sherlock Holmes," she sobbed when she heard his voice, suddenly wanting him to be here with her to hold her.
"Sherlock," She whimpered out. She heard him mumble something to someone before he seemed to move somewhere else.
"Riley, what's wrong?" Sherlock asked urgently.
"Adam was kidnapped." She said between sobs. She heard Sherlock's breathing hitch.
"Riley, calm down and explain to me what happened." She did what she was told and soon said with a clearer voice, "I received a vase of roses at work and the card explained how we met in like some fairy tale tone, it said stuff about how we married, how we had Adam and how I left. And then how you met some guy named King Moriarty," She heard Sherlock hiss in anger.
"Sherlock, who is Moriarty?" Riley asked in a weak voice. Sherlock sighed. "He is a consulting criminal that doesn't like that I ruin his plans." Riley didn't comment and just continued her story, "So I called Adam's phone and Moriarty answered and implied that Adam would be hurt if we didn't play his game. He wanted me to tell you that the weather is wonderful in the States and to hurry over."
"Alright, Riley, I'll be on the first plane to D.C as soon as possible. He'll be fine, Riley. We'll get him back safe, ok? Just hang in there." Sherlock hung up after his reassuring words and stared at the wall in front of him.
"Who's Riley?" John asked from behind him. Sherlock turned toward him and saw Lestrade looking at him in concern and John looking at him in confusion. Sherlock ignored John and said to Lestrade in an icy calm voice, "Adam's been kidnapped by Moriarty. He sent a note to Riley." Lestrade paled before saying, "I'll get you and John the first flight out," Sherlock nodded in thanks.
