John
"They've stopped at St. James, I'm going to call Lestrade, you wait there for backup. Do you hear me? Sherlock? SHERLOCK? God Damn It." John slammed his fist on the table as he dialed the number to call Greg. "Greg, Sherlock needs backup at St. James, Someone kidnapped Molly and he went after them. It's not going to end well. And tell your men not to engage under any circumstances! Understand?" Greg started yelling orders and John hung up, he then looked back to the computer screen.
The realization hit John like a ton of bricks, He saw the little blinking red light that indicated where Molly's phone was.
It had stopped, it was in a narrow street, it was dark outside. Jesus Christ.
John grabbed his coat and ran through the house, yelling as he ran out the door. "Mary, I've got to go help Sherlock."
John hailed a cab and told the cabbie to step on it, and he counted the seconds that passed by. Ten minutes, not bad timing, but not great.
When John got there the police had already blocked off the street. He walked over and Greg pointed to a huddled mass on the floor of the street. "He hasn't moved since I got here, we need to see if she is okay John."
John nodded and walked slowly toward Sherlock. The closer he got, the more the bad feeling in his gut intensified.
He gently laid his hand on Sherlock's shoulder. He waited and Sherlock finally said "I wasn't there John. She needed me."
John Watson knew Sherlock Holmes better than anyone, and in all the time he had known him, he had never once seen him cry.
John sank down onto his knees and gently said "You were there. You stopped it before it could go any further. It's better late than never."
Sherlock shook his head, "John, he TOUCHED her." John met Sherlock's gaze and what he saw was something that scared him.
Sherlock's eyes were darker than he had ever seen them, the fierce intensity that was normally there was replaced with cold, calculated hatred. They shared eye contact for a moment, and then John got up and walked over to the police calmly.
When he reached Greg he said "Where is he?" Greg looked at him and pointed over to the ambulance.
Without another word John calmly walked over to the man, took one of the officers guns and pointed it right between the bastard's eyes.
No one touched him but there was a big clamor, and all the officers started yelling and shouting.
John simply ignored them and looked at the man. "Do you have any idea what you might have done here? Sherlock Holmes is one tragedy away from killing people at will. IF SHE DIES YOU WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON HE COMES AFTER. And trust me, you will not die easily.... He will torture you.... Then torture you some more...." John's eyes went dark and dangerous.
"Then once he's killed you, I WILL BRING YOU BACK SO WE CAN START THE WHOLE FUCKING PROCESS OVER AGAIN. You will never die.... You will simply suffer. So, you better pray to god that she doesn't die." John turned and returned the gun to the officer and walked calmly back to Sherlock.
When he got back, Sherlock hadn't moved. John put his hand on his shoulder once more and went over to Molly to examine her. He noted the defensive marks and then checked her pupil reactions. "Sherlock I think she'll be alright."
Sherlock's shoulders fell as if he had been holding his breath, and his eyes closed. "Thank you John."
John nodded and stood up, Sherlock quickly following behind with Molly in his arms. Sherlock walked through the crowd and walked right past the ambulance.
Greg and the paramedics hurried after him, shouting cries of concern. Sherlock simply walked to the street with John by his side, and didn't stop even when he heard Greg say "Sherlock! She needs to be looked at by a doctor!"
Sherlock simply shrugged as John hailed a cab, and then turned and looked Greg right in the eyes and said "Greg, she has already been looked at by a doctor." He smirked at John and then shrugged in the cab. John laughing at Greg's flabbergasted expression at Sherlock using his actual name.
