Today's prompt: Harrods

Previous part: Taken (4/6) or start at the beginning Taken (1/6)
Taken (5/6)
‘This is probably what it feels like to be someone other than me.’
He could not move and his brain worked extremely slow, thanks to whatever drug they were giving him. One of his kidnappers entered the room. The stupid one.
“Do you see this? It’s my favourite knife. My brother bought it for me at Harrods. It’s Japanese. I’m going to have a little fun with you.”
And there was nothing he could do. They needed him alive, not unharmed.
Suddenly the man with the knife spun around and disappeared from Sherlock’s field of vision, he heard him make a surprised noise and then there was the sound of the impact of one body into another. The knife fell to the ground, right in front of Sherlock.
He listened to the sounds from the struggle, picturing it in his mind, until there was a grunt and the sound of a body falling to the ground and then - silence, except for the harsh breathing of the second man.
Footsteps came closer and Sherlock refocused his gaze on the knife. A hand came into view and Sherlock’s breath left him in a rush. He knew this hand, knew it intimately, and would recognise it everywhere, by look as well as by touch.
“John”, he whispered as his lover picked up the blade.

and then there was the sound of the impact of one body into another.
And yet it's not porn, but it's all right because it must be John coming to the rescue, yay!
“John”, he whispered as his lover picked up the blade.
Aaaand yesssss it's BAMF!John, who fights a man armed with a knife with bare hands because it's BAMFier.
So, two parts left. I recommend one part for the plot and one part for life-affirming sex. I think it's a legitimate request after all this angst. :D

Date: 2012-10-20 08:56 pm (UTC)It wasn't a subtle hint at your inability to keep to the announced number of chapters. It's just, er, I was so engrossed in the action that when I typed my comment I looked at the "Previous part: Taken (4/6)" thing and not at the real title. Also, yes, I hopeless in maths. But not that hopeless And please feel free to add one part or two, now that the angst is over.
Please let me reword my comment. So, one part left. I recommend
one part for the plotand one part for life-affirming sex because who cares about the plot. I think it's a legitimate request after all this angst. Is it all right now?no subject
Date: 2012-10-20 08:53 pm (UTC)BECAUSE IT'S BAMFier.
BECAUSE IT'S BAMFier!
Moses' little yellow outboard motorboat, you are just the BAMFiest of comment makers. You are, you are.
