Posted by Brittney on 5/18/2004, 9:05 pm, in reply to "fanfic" Moriarty grinned. "Nice to see you, too, Lestrade. How have you been doing lately? Better than Holmes is now, I'm sure." Lestrade was in no mood for sarcasm. "Get to the point, Moriarty. What do you want?" She couldn't tear her eyes off Holmes, though. How could anyone, even Moriarty, be so cruel?? Holmes might get annoying sometimes, sure, but to do that to him... She shuddered. "I want 9 million credits. Plus an oath that neither of you will fight crime or do anything like that ever again. Then you can have Holmes. If you don't meet my demands, let's just say that Holmes... well, it won't be pretty." Moriarty laughed. He was sure to have his way. Lestrade paused. In the background, for some reason, Holmes was blinking rapidly. He looked like he was going blind or something. Oh, no! Maybe Moriarty damaged his eyesight or something. Wait, he was blinking in a pattern. Of course, morse code! He was _blinking_ Morse Code! Lestrade squinted and barely made out the message. He repeated it over and over again. Finally she got it. U-N-D-E-R-S-U-B-W-A-Y. Under the Subway! It couldn't be that hard to find. Just listen for a hollow spot under all grounds. Or take Watson with her to find how thick the floors were. Simple. Suddenly Moriarty shouted. She realized that she had been staring at Holmes, and not listening to Moriarty. What would happen if moriarty figured out he had been sending messages? She gulped. "I agree to your demands. But it's going to be hard to find 9 million credits." Lestrade managed. Keeping Holmes alive was the main thing now. "Too bad." Moriarty spat. "I want it in a week, or else. You're smart, figure it out." The screen went blank. Moriarty turned to his men. "Bring him back to his cell." As he was being dragged off, Holmes thought. 'It's not a ransom demand he's really after. He has been trying to capture me for years, all that would not be just for a ransom. He wants my life, and this is a clever scheme to get a bit extra out of it.' The guards threw him in the cell. his head banged on the ground. 'Back to where i was before' Holmes let out a sigh.

Her expression softened as she spotted the bleeding figure also in the scene. "Holmes! Are you okay?" She knew Moriarty could here everything she said, but she didn't care. Anyway, it was a stupid thing to ask. Of course he wasn't okay! He was tied up, bleeding and torn. He had clearly been beaten and was now trying to deal with the intense pain. How could Holmes respond to her, anyway? "Moriarty, you coward!"
