Moriarty's POV
"You need to know what's coming next," I said towards the person. Their eyes looked full of pain. Exactly what I was hoping for.
"You dropped the screwdriver. She won't figure it out for a while. She's too stupid to connect the dots and see the pieces of hair tied to the screwdriver. She'll figure it out, but it will be too late for her to save anyone or anything involved in the plan." I walked closer to the person, with my knife, but my assistant interrupted me.
"I was wondering if we could talk about something quickly."
"Did you think I wasn't busy? This person is right here. I am talking. Now go." I almost started to talk again, but he interrupted me again.
"Well, I was wondering about—"
I threw the knife down on the table. "Did I not just tell you to go?"
The assistant looked shocked. "You didn't say that I couldn't stay so I only assumed—"
I picked up my gun without him noticing, and placed it in my trench coat. "You assumed?"
"Yes sir—"
"You assumed? We do not assume. We have never assumed, because assuming and not knowing cold, hard, facts and evidence does not support theories, and make them correct. Assuming has not gotten us to where we are today." I had an idea. Before the assistant walked away, I said a few words.
"Wait." The assistant waited. "I need to ask you something. I'm not angry anymore. I'm not one to hold grudges." I knew, he knew, and the person knew, that was a complete lie the moment it escaped my mouth. I pulled out the gun. "Is there anything else you assume?"
The assistant laughed, but was sweating and nervous. "I assume, after every little thing, every single thing I have done for you, you will not shoot me."
I laughed, and shrugged. "Good answer."
The assistant gulped. You could have heard it from space. "Anything else, sir?"
"Yeah. Just one thing." I laughed, still having the gun in my right hand. "This is why we do not assume. Because half the time we assume, we will be wrong."
