ACT III
One Miracle Too Late
Chapter 3 – The Plan
It was almost an all-nighter for the people in the room. The Order was still in the building, it was going to take a while to close up shop. Sherlock and Sophia returned to Baker Street. All they knew is that they were the ones to carry out the mission. If they stayed, Director would be suspicious.
They soon had their plan. Sherlock and Sophia were to go and rescue John. While there, they would also retrieve Sherlock's phone.
They were all asleep by the early light of the morning. Melody was the first to wake up. She headed back to Communications.
Sophia awoke to the sound of her headset ringing. In a pattern that only she and Melody would know its meaning. The first few notes of Carry On, My Wayward Son. She got out of John's bed and got ready. She wore her attire for non-stealth missions; cargo pants and a white top. She but her two guns in the holsters on either side of her belt. She put on her headset and headed to meet Sherlock.
She saw him, already awake, sitting in his chair.
"You're up early"
"Couldn't sleep"
"Kid, you need to be at your best." Sophia wore a face of concern "We don't want to risk anything"
"I'll be fine" Sherlock muttered, walked to her "rarely need to sleep"
They headed out and got on Sophia's bike. Melody's voice soon came on and told them the plan.
"Alright you two" Melody instructed over the earpiece, "This mission, you are on your own. I will disconnect you from the main network. So you only have each other. Find the evidence, save Baggins and bring down Spider's crime web at long last."
"Thanks Tonks" Sherlock said
"Anytime, Reichenbach" Melody's smile could be heard, "I will be contacting the Scotland Yard and one more thing…"
"Yes?"
"Constant Vigilance!"
The connection then ended
Alright peoples. Next time, the final mission of the Order. But not the final chapter of the story I am telling. Not even close.
