"Fun little trick, isn't it?" Moriarty questioned, keeping his hands behind his back formally.

"Have I said that I enjoy seeing you desperate? I didn't even know you had feeling, dear Holmes," Moriarty marveld and stood, walking over to the pair.
"Just tell me the deal!" Sherlock said, calm and collected, but very, very angry.
"If you betray me, I kill both of you," He grinned, satisfied with his solution, looking back and forth between the men.

"Sherlock! No!" John spoke up, stepping out from behind Sherlock.
"Be quiet John." he reprimanded him
"Yes, Mr. Watson, do shut up,” Moriarty frowns like he was scolding a child before returning his gaze back to the man of the hour, “It's a deal, you may go." Moriarty smiled and the thug opened the door, revealing the cool English night outside. Sherlock held John up as they stumble to the door as fast as they could move, a slight limp returning to John.

He knew he couldn't see John anymore, and then, the pain started to seep in. He never felt pain before, but no, that was a lie. Redbeard. Just like

    His dissociation from his communities cause him to lose himself and even his very humanity, as inextricably bound as it is to the racial, religious, and, most secretly, sexual identity that he cannot accept for himself. Most interesting, though, is that much later John himself, as this internal panic is externalized on the threshing floor, knows “that he had been thrust out of the holy, the joyful, the blood-washed community, that his father had thrust him out” (230), implying that he blames his father, and rightfully so, for his complete detachment from all which would bring him through his…

    During John’s quest to find his identity a number of unexpected twists and turns occurred that John could have never predicted. When John started on the search for his identity, John as the narrator says, “One day, I always thought, she would tell me about it—when I was old enough to know the story. It was, apparently, the kind of story you had to be "old enough" to hear. It wasn't until she died—without a word to me concerning who my father was—that I felt I'd been cheated out of information I had a right to know; it was only after her death that I felt the slightest anger toward her” (37). John is led to believe that his father was a very smart and special character.…
