'So Moriarty, 'M' wouldn't happen to be short for that?.'
'Ding Ding, Winner!.'
'I thought i would never find you. I spent ages scrolling through case file after case file but nothing. Not even a whisper and now, there আপনি stand. Tell me something, why kill so many people?.'
'Haven't আপনি ever done something just because আপনি could?.' Sherlock became tense. 'But of course you have, আপনি were Irene's drug addict boyfriend.'
'I wasn't that addicted when i was with her, it was only after আপনি made her fake her death.'
'Well she wouldn't play fair.'
'What do আপনি mean?.'
'Did she tell why she faked her death?.'
'Because আপনি threatened to kill me.' Moriarty gave a little chuckle. 'What?.'
'That's not the whole story.'
'Then what is?.'
'She wanted আরো money. I told her no but she kept on pushing. She told me she would do আরো riskier jobs so i gave her one. But little did i know, she was wearing a wire. I manged to avoid the police and I tracked her down. She begged me not to hurt her, she ব্যক্ত she would do anything. I told her she had to leave and work with me on bring আপনি down.'
'Why me?.'
'Because আপনি foiled so many of my crimes. I needed time to plan my revenge. But when i found out আপনি were her boyfriend i thought i could use this to my advantage. So i told her to fake her death to make আপনি go mad on drugs.' He raised the gun. 'But that clearly didn't work. So i guess the gun will have to do.'
'It did work. I went to rehab.'
'Yes but i thought আপনি might of OD on the stuff, it would have saved me the hassle.'
'So that's your plan? Your just going to shoot me?.'
'Never failed me before.'
Joan woke up in the hospital. She looked to her left and saw Gregson sitting in the chair.
'Hey.'
'Hey. How আপনি feeling?.'
'Ok, i guess.' She looked up at the drip which was attached to her arm. 'Never thought i'd be attached to one of these.'
'Your lucky, আপনি were only dehydrated.' Joan looked round the room.
'Where's Sherlock?.' Gregson ব্যক্ত nothing. 'Thomas, where is he?.'
'...He let আপনি go but only if Sherlock promised to go back inside.'
'And আপনি let him?.'
'He ran back inside before i could even talk to him. My main priority was to get আপনি to the hospital.'
'I know and i'm grateful for that but আপনি could have stopped him. Shouldn't আপনি be back there?.'
'My men are still in their positions. I told them to wait until Sherlock comes out.'
'What if he doesn't?.'
'Shooting me won't help. There is still a police force out there.'
'You think i don't have an escape plan?.'
'Fine but before আপনি do, can i make a last request?.'
Gregson's phone went off. It was an unknown number.
'Hello?.'
'Gregson, it's me.' Gregson went outside the room so Joan couldn't hear. 'Holmes, where are আপনি and what's going on?.'
'I'm still in the building and it seems i won't be leaving.'
'What'd আপনি mean?.' He heard him sigh.
'Can আপনি put Joan on?.'
'Holmes, do আপনি think she's been through enough?.'
'So i don't even get to say goodbye?.'
'Goodbye? What are আপনি talking about?.'
'Think it through Captain.' Gregson understood immediately. He took a moment then went back inside the room. He handed Joan the phone then left again to her some privacy.
'Hello?.'
'Hey.'
'Sherlock!? Are আপনি ok?.'
'I'm fine. What about you?.'
'Alot better, what's going on? Where are you?.'
'I'm still at the building but...' He couldn't bring himself to tell her.
'What?.'
'Joan, i just wanted to let আপনি know that I've loved every moment of our time together. I never thought i could প্রণয় again after what happened to me in লন্ডন but somehow i did. I প্রণয় Joan Watson. I'll miss you.'
'What do আপনি mean দ্বারা "Miss you"?.'
'I won't be seeing আপনি again. I'm sorry for getting আপনি caught up in all this.'
'Sherlock, just... run.' She had tears forming in her eyes.
'Can't.' Moriarty raised the gun. 'Bye Joan.'
'I..I প্রণয় you.'
'I know.' All she heard পরবর্তি was a bang. 'Sherlock?. Sherlock!?.'
'Ding Ding, Winner!.'
'I thought i would never find you. I spent ages scrolling through case file after case file but nothing. Not even a whisper and now, there আপনি stand. Tell me something, why kill so many people?.'
