John threw down a note and some coins on the table as soon as he got the text from Lestrade. Jasmine looked as if she had seen a ghost, eyes staring into the distance.

'Come on, we need to go.' John held out his hand, helped her up and they walked outside and John hailed a taxi.

'New Scotland Yard please.' John said to the driver as Jasmine got in the taxi. Jasmine still had not said a word. John tried to get her to talk but he felt it was like asking someone to steal the Crown Jewels. Moriarty. Moriarty got away with it, he succeed. John shook his head, sat down and turned to face Jasmine.

'What did you see Jasmine? Why are you all of a sudden so scared?' John kept questioning her with these and similar questions. Eventually he got a response.

'I can't say...' She choked out.

'Why not? Why can't you tell me?' Silence. That was all he could get out of her.

They arrived at the Yard moments later. John paid the cabbie and they both slipped out of the taxi. It was getting on about 6pm so a number of the staff would have finished for the night. John led Jasmine up to Lestrade's office. They passed endless amounts of empty desks. Greg was sitting at his desk, phone to his shoulder. As they entered, Lestrade put his phone down.

'What's going on then?' Lestrade looked at John for answers.

'Your guess is as good as mine I'm afraid.' John pulled the chair out for Jasmine to sit down, opposite Lestrade's desk, then took the one next to her for himself.

Lestrade looked at John for a second then turned to Jasmine. He leaned forward, hands clasped together.

'Jasmine, we need to know what's happened. Can you tell us?' She stayed silent.

Lestrade looked at John. 'She told me she can't say.' Lestrade nodded and turned back towards her.

'Why can't you tell us what's happened?'

Eventually she spoke. 'I don't want to end up like that but he has to be stopped.' She looked out a window, confused.

Lestrade being a DI and all knew who it was about. 'Are you on about your step dad? Have you seen him since you saw him running off?' Lestrade started to quicken his words. Jasmine nodded.

'When and where?' Jasmine shook her head this time.

'I can't tell you.' She replied.

'Was it when you went to the toilets?' John asked. No movement or words came from Jasmine. She sat there calm and still.

Lestrade sat back and ran his hands through his hair. John turned to face Lestrade.

'When she came back, that was when Sherlock got up and left and said he had to do something.' John felt his heart rate increase. The thought of letting Sherlock go off like that in search for what seems like a mastermind criminal alone was starting to panic him. It was all starting to become clearer to Lestrade.

'Jasmine, did you see Justin in the toilets.' She still didn't move. 'Jasmine, we need to know! You and Sherlock could both be in danger. Did you see Justin at the pub?' She breathed in and nodded.

'John can you go at get Donovan and tell her to send more people out to look.' John nodded at rose from his seat. Lestrade looked at Jasmine. 'Whatever he said, we won't let him hurt you. Is there anything else you want to let us know about him?' It was a few moments before she spoke.

'He told me not say anything. I'm the only person who knows. In the toilets he told me not say anything to anyone.'

'Jasmine, we need to know.' Lestrade said looking directly at her.

'I think mum must have found out or tried to ask him about it. Ever since I found out I have tried to avoid him he's not the same person I thought he was.'

'We really need to know, what is it? What do you know?' Lestrade asked again just as John came back with Donovan.

'He's been working for someone for some time I think. I know I said I don't know what his job is, I don't. I just know he is working for someone. When I overheard one of his conversations on the phone he had to explain. I had heard too much. Then he said if I breathed a word I wouldn't ever breath again.'

'Do you know who it is he is working for?'

'I don't know who but he said this was his final order. The end of the chapter. Then end of the story.'

John was in the room again, with Donovan, he butted in this time. 'What is he after?' Jasmine drew in a deep breath and closed her eyes. Everyone had their eyes on her.

'He's out to get someone. He was told by his employer months ago that this was it. This will end the game that's been going on too long.'

'Jasmine, you can't keep something like that quiet!' John said his voice slightly higher than usual.

'John, calm down! We know now. We have officers everywhere looking for him. We're doing all we can to get him before Sherlock gets invovled!' Lestrade said rising from his seat putting his hand on John's shoulder to try and calm him.

'You know that won't happen.' John said sternly. Lestrade glared at Joh before looking back to Jasmine.

'I'm sorry.' Jasmine said. Her eyes watered but no tears fell.

'It's not your fault. Donovan can you take her back to the social worker, we may need to speak to her again later though.' Lestrade said.

'Yes sir. Come on.' Sally helped her from her seat and walked her out the room.

John sat down his mouth open slightly. Lestrade run his fingers though his hair again. John closed his mouth and looked up.

'We need to find him.'

'We will John. Like I said we have loads of officers out looking.'

'No, we need to find him. Sherlock is not going to do this alone.' John looked sternly at Lestrade. If there is one thing Greg knew about John is once is heart is set on something it is pretty damn hard to change it.

'Okay, come on.' Lestrade took his jacket of the back of his chair and grabbed his personal car keys.

'We're taking your car?' John looked puzzled.

'All the other unmarked ones are probably already out there. If we're going to find him it's better going in my car than a police one.'

'Good point.' John said turning and heading towards the door. Lestrade turned the lights off behind him.

As they were walking over towards Greg's car Greg asked John something.

'Do you actually want to be the one catch this criminal or do you just want to make sure Sherlock is safe?'

John held the handle of the passenger seat car. 'Both.' he replied then opened the car door and got in.
