Hey, it's been a while I have been uber busy with school. I'm in honor classes so that means lots of homework and then there's this huge Steinbeck project due soon (and Supernatural took over my life for a bit… Stupid Netflix). So I'm sorry for the break I took. I hope to update more often. I want to thank all of the faithful comments and followers and favorites and readers. I do not and most likely never will own Sherlock. Thanks.

Chapter 4 Recap

Moriarty and Sherlock have escaped. Sherlock has Mycroft send cars to take Sherlock and Moriarty to 221B, but Mycroft decides it's best to handcuff and blindfold Moriarty a decision that might just kill John.

Chapter 5

Sherlock

I arrive at 221B; I take a moment to collect myself, stupid sentiment, before entering to see John face to face for the first time since the Fall. I pause should I knock, or I still have my key should I just walk in? I decide to walk in. I slide my key into the slot and turn the knob. I don't bother relock knowing Moriarty will soon be following. I walk into the flat and up the stairs. I pause again at the top. I knock and walk in. I look around, but John isn't home. I scan the area and notice that most of my usual items are not there, but sitting in my chair is my violin. I pick it up and start to play. I have yearned for this, but I felt it not wise to return to get it or I might tip Sebastian off or upset John.

I put the kettle on and hunt for food, even I get hungry given I haven't eaten since capture. I look at the date, hmm, I was only gone a week. I had gone longer without eating, but I felt my body needed food. I check the fridge and it seems empty with no body parts. I smile at the lack of milk in the fridge, and the excess of jam. Finding nothing I find a menu and call in some Chinese food place that delivers. I hear the kettle whistle and prepare the tea.

I hear footsteps, Moriarty and Mycroft's men.

I say, "For goodness sake let him go!"

The men fidget a bit, but stay still. I walk over remove the blindfold and gag. Then I hold out my hand for the key. A guard reluctantly hands it over and I unhandcuff him.

"Sorry for the cuffs, my brother thought it would be best, that idiot." I say as I hand him a cup of tea.

He takes it, and says, "That's quite all right, where's Johnny?"

"Getting groceries I believe."

"Ah I see out of milk." Then there is a knock at the door.

I order one of the guards, "Get that, it will be 16.58£." The guard left and returned a minute later with food. We start to eat, and I see Moriarty is just as hungry as me.

John

I realized on my way home from work we needed more milk, so I stopped by the store. Soon I'm in a cab on my way home. My mind flashes back to the second meeting with Sherlock in the cab were he explained his first deduction of me. That feeling of awe toward him that never really went away. WHY?! Why did he have to do it? Why did he jump? I feel my eyes water and push the thoughts down before this cabby thinks I'm crazy.

We are almost home to 221B were everywhere I look I will see him. I step out onto the road and look to my window. The light is on. I always turn that off. I grab my gun and push open the door. I can't see or hear anyone. I hesitantly walk up the stairs with my gun up. I look through the door and see him… Moriarty. I aim and pull the trigger but someone I didn't see pushes the gun and the bullet hits the wall instead, and the gun falls out of my hands. I look at him and recognize him as one of Mycroft's men. Then I look at the rest of the room and then I see HIM! Then everything goes blank.
