EXT. THE BAD PART OF LONDON - DAY
SHERLOCK HOLMES and JOHN WATSON are beating up COMMON THUGS left and right.
It is clear that they have been at it for hours, because they are both exhausted...
...and there are dozens of unconscious thugs all around them.
JOHN
They just keep coming!
SHERLOCK
Getting tired yet, John?
JOHN
(gasping for air)
Not on your life!
Suddenly, the thugs' cell phones all go off at once.
They all stop attacking and check their phones.
Once they see the message, they all scurry.
Sherlock manages to grab one of them by the collar.
SHERLOCK
Who sent you?!
THUG
You know very well!
Sherlock lets the thug go.
The thug runs off.
Sherlock and John both try to catch their breath as badly beaten thugs moan all around them.
JOHN
Are you okay?
SHERLOCK
Yeah. You?
JOHN
Yeah.
SHERLOCK
That must have been Moriarty. I wouldn't be surprised if he was also responsible for the bus disaster that we came here to investigate. I owe you an apology, John. I thought that this case was going to be boring!
JOHN
Why do you suppose Moriarty would cause a bus disaster, then corner us here and send wave after wave of thugs at us?
SHERLOCK
The question is why did he call them back?
JOHN
That reminds me, I'd better check my phone for messages.
SHERLOCK
Yeah. I suppose I should too.
They both check their phones.
JOHN
I have over four hundred texts!
SHERLOCK
Me too!
JOHN
They're all from Mary!
SHERLOCK
Mine too!
JOHN
Wow. That is some really colourful language she's using!
SHERLOCK
Mine all just say "Where are you?" and "Get John to the hospital now!"
JOHN

The Revenge of Moriarty - A Sherlock Fan-Fiction Screenplay
FanfictionTo be very clear, I do not own Sherlock or any of the Sherlock characters. This is a work of fan-fiction. I actually wrote this a year and a half ago, months before The Abominable Bride premiered, but I've always been too scared to post it. But now...
