Chapter 8: The Endgame

A/N: The pic above is the dress you wear just imagine it in a different color if you like.

"I still so not understand why you simply don't cancel the summit." Watson said to Mycroft as they, you, and Simza sit around the table, enjoying a meal. "The fact is it's gonna happen weather we like it or not. Everyone has already arrived, while ladies and gentlemen may be talking peace, believe me they're readying their armies at home. To cancel the summit now, would be tentamental war." said Mycroft.

"The telegram, wasn't it clear?" You asked the elder Holmes. "We have double the security, madam." Mycroft's butler informed you. "Oh doubled security? That's comforting." Simza said, sarcastically. "You don't understand the delicacy in this situation.  I passed the telegram on to my superiors, But they were the ones who have brought Moriarty to advice on the peace procrss in the first place. He has positiomed himself brilliantly as our of our formost intellectuals, he's a personal friend if the prime minister...." said Mycroft but you talk over him.

"Yes, we all know that." You said annoyed. "I believe you and Doctor Watson, but where's your evidence?" Mycroft asked. Watson leans closer to Mycroft and whispered. "He's too good to leave evidence. He doesn't leave loose ends." You hear footsteps and look up to see Holmes walking up the stairs with some sort of breathing mechanism in his mouth.

"Oh! He's alive!" Simza said as you give him a small smile. "Sherly, put that down!" Mycroft ordered as Holmes takes the breathing machine out of his mouth. "What is this contraption? May I have it? The effect is most invigorating." Holmes asked his older brother. "It is my private and personal supply of oxygen and you're not to touch it." said Mycroft firmly as Holmes set the contraption down on the nearby table.

Holmes waves his hand to show his brother he doesn't have the device anymore as Mycroft continues. "This argument is getting us nowhere. I've arranged documents to be prepared which will allow you into the ball."  

"Stanley? Stanely!" Holmes shouted at the elder butler. The man doesn't reply nor makes an attempt to acknowledge Holmes at all. "You haven't aged a day." Holmes remarked making you chuckle as he goes and sits next to you. "The fact is we don't really know what he's planning." Mycroft said. "It won't be another bomb." You replied.

"That doesn't make sense." said Simza. "Why would he attack all nations, only to unite them?" Watson asked. "It will be an assassination. By a lone gunman at close range" Holmes replied as he stares at Simza. "Rene." She said. "Unfortunately, yes." replied Holmes. Simza stared at Holmes then said. "You knew."  

"I had my suspicions but having seen who'd be attending I am now certain." He said. "Well at least we know who to look out for." said Mycroft. "Rene will be the evidence." You stated. "If we can find him and stop him we'll not only save his life but prevent the collapse of westeren civilization. No pressure." Holmes said, nonchantly.

Sometime later, you, Holmes, Watson, Simza and Mycroft make your way to the ball that was in a castle on top of a waterfall.  The men were in very nice and elegant suits, even Holmes cleaned up a bit and combed his hair. Simza is in a dark red and black ball gown, her hair done up in a bun. You were in a (favorite color) ball gown with a diamond necklace around your neck, Holmes gave it to you saying it was his mother's which you felt honored for wearing it.

Once you arrived at the ball, Holmes crooks his arm to you, you take it and the two of you enter the building. Holmes couldn't help but look at you. He didn't think it was possible for you to be even more beautiful than before but here you were, proving him wrong. You felt his gaze and looked up at him. "What?" You asked. "Just admiring the view." He replied, a small smile played at his lips.

You blush and smile as he leans towards you and kissed your cheek. You turn your head and smiled again as you lean in and kissed him on the lips. You and Holmes stopped in front of the door that leads to the ballroom and continued to kiss. You break the kiss and the two of you lean your foreheads together as you two stare into each other's eyes. "When this is over with and we get back home, I have something to talk to you about, (y/n)." Holmes whispers to you. "And what's that?" You asked him. "Now's not the time to talk about it, but I promise we will talk about it." Holmes replied and you nod as you and him straighten up and open the doors.
