by johnsarmylady

London, after Moriarty's attempt to take over the country, is left in the hands of ruthless and power hungry gangs. Sherlock Holmes, scientist, found himself kidnapped, rescued, and dragged into the fight by a stranger and his unusual band of followers. But Sherlock has a secret that could spell death for all of them. An AU told in 221B format. Rated M for later themes.

As they crowded into the room he outlined the events of the morning, tasking various officers to work with Gregson and Dimmock's teams to build the case, while setting others to pick up surveillance of known bomb makers.
