Part 2

The sun ray penetrates through the window, waking them up to face probably the most exciting and important day of their whole life. They walked down the narrow pathway, wet and cold. John tighten his coat around him as the wind blew. " Are you sure this is the place? We are in big trouble if one of us did something wrong " John said.

" So you are concern about this? you shouldn't have come along then " Sherlock said, acting all mysterious and focus.

" Well, still. If we are going to die, I'm gonna kill you first "

" Hahaha not gonna happen John " Logan said.

" Can you humans shut it? " Red whispered and put her forefinger to her mouth telling the to be quiet.

Sherlock knew that the place will be empty, he pushed the door open with his gun. They could directly smell the weird scent in the air. Dried blood, it was all over the floor. Has been there for about 1 night. What might have happened? Could they be too late to safe a precious life?

" No. " a voice answered their doubts. The voice was familiar. They could only see his shadow, it was carrying something. It was definitely not Moriarty's voice. He won't be too stupid to let genius people break into his hide-out. It was his brother, Jamie.

" You guys don't have this poor soul. He's useless" Jamie said. He put the thing on the floor. It made a heavy whamming sound. It was a dead body. Fresh, the one that cause the place to be covered in blood. " Don't worry guys, you won't have to deal with him again ".

" Him? " Sherlock said, with a shocked expression.

" I know that you know who is this dead body, Sherlock " Jamie's smirk was freezing Sherlock's whole body.

" Jim, you killed your own brother " he said unblinking.

" What? " Logan and John gasped.

" I'll tell you guys my story. It all started long ago. I was the smart one not him, it has always been me. But people just don't believe me, they believed Jim more. So I have an idea. Jim could take all the credits " he paused for a while and give a small laugh " Oh come on Sherlock. Don't bore me like that " he got closer to him. " He was so stupid, a drama queen, an impostor! He wasn't thankful of what I did for him. He thought that he could do it by himself "

Red laughed. " I'm sorry I can't help it ".

" No it's okay, I understand " Jamie said.

Everyone stared at Red with a confused face. " Don't you guys think this is funny? " Red asked. " I don't see why? " Sherlock said.

" Well I don't see why not. You see, but you do not observe " Red glared mundanely.

" I think Red and I are the only person among these humans who know why it's so hilarious " Jamie smiled coldly.

" Do you think he is joking? Or you think that this is a joke? A sick joke? " Logan asked.

" I know, I know. You guys think I'm crazy. But it's just because you are just so stupid to realize. It's not a joke but it is still funny for me " Red smirked.

" Ok by the way, he chose the wrong night to mess with me. Cost him a soul " he laugh " I've always acted to be the stupid one, the weak mortal. Lured you guys here, the underground labyrinth is waiting to swallow you. Alive " he gave Sherlock a sharp look in the eye. " I've though this through since I faked my first death. I knew that it will make a perfect sense to you. Well I'm disappointed, ordinary Sherlock "

" Why do you help your brother if you are going to kill him again eventually? " John asked.

" That's simple. I need him to act as if he was so powerful and make you guys curled up sucking your pity little thumbs. But then as I already said, he misbehave. Like your woman, Ms. Adler. Familiar name? " he looked at Sherlock then to Red.

" She's dead isn't she? " Red laughed.

" Yes, thank you Ms. Alexandria. I'm guessing that you are not guessing it. You saw it. That's why you laughed. That's why we laughed " Jamie turned his back near the bodies. Yes, it was actually 2 bodies. That's why the shadow of the thing was so huge.

"You knew this? You knew that this will happen ? " Sherlock asked furiously.

" You are not God Sherlock. You are not meant to know everything " Red said motionlessly.

" Here you go. One dead body. Fresh from the guillotine. Found this girl knocking in my door with her filthy little hand "

Sherlock's eyes stared at it blankly. John and Logan almost puke seeing it all over the place. Red and Jamie looked at the desperation on everyone's faces with amusement. " I nailed it. I can't believe that you fell for my tiny little trick " The four of them was standing close to each other while Jamie was standing a bit farther. He stood near a lever-like stick. Pulled it and off they go. Directly to the underground labyrinth without any lighting.

Sherlock doesn't want to talk to Red. " Oh come on. you don't even know what I am laughing at. None of you. Including Jamie, he thought that he knew but no " Red clicked on something and a dim light lit the small part of the room. Enough to see each other and the floor.

Up there, Jamie left the house locked and rushed to Mycroft's office to seek revenge by himself. He underestimated the power of the four. He knew that Mycroft might have expected someone was after him. But Jamie was smarter than most of the guards in London. Will be exciting to see the shocked expression on Mycroft's lifeless face.

" I have to admit it was kinda funny too but that's not the reason I laughed. He was a careless psychopath. Who in the hell and earth would leave their notes near your enemy? " Red smiled. The other were still staring at her in disbelief.

" Argghhh are you guys really that stupid? I'm disappointed " Red glared at Sherlock.

" I know. You took it and attempted to save us all. Yeepie " Sherlock sarcastically said.

" I'm the one who was suppose to be mad. You went out with many other girls. i only laugh at your face! "

" Awkward " John whispered to Logan.

They walked out and ran after Jamie. They knew that he was still after Mycroft. Sherlock ran as fast as he could, fast enough to chase after the fastest cheetah. " Is he always that fast ? " Red asked John. " He ran like danger is his middle name. Every damn time. And I chase after him like ' no Sherlock, Sherlock is your middle name' " John said jokingly.

Red drove a car she saw near a grocery store with Sherlock pouting and folding his arm at the back seat. " Cheer up Sherlock! Christmas is already hours to go! " Red cheered him up. " How am I suppose to be happy when my brother is in danger "

" Not my fault " Red let her hand off the steering wheel. " oh my God, please don't do that " John gasped.

" Do what? This? " she sped up and let her hand off the steering wheel.

Sherlock quickly grabbed the steering wheel and told Red to sit at the back seat. " Hmph no fun. Mr. Smug-face "

" Shut up we're almost there " Sherlock said.

They arrived on time. Jamie didn't have any idea that they could escape the labyrinth alive. John sprained Jamie's whole body. Sherlock gave a brief explanation of their escape. His eyes widened. " I underestimated you. You deserve it " Jamie looked at Sherlock. They all knew what he meant, Sherlock grabbed a gun and shot him right on the forehead.
