The first time Jim snuck into yours apartment was for.. fun. Honestly, just to get to you and do some digging, see what he can find out. Maybe even leave a note so that you would know about his visit. Some kind of hint so that you don't even have doubts about who exactly came in your absence. Oh, that's how he imagined you: furrowed eyebrows, a slight tilt of the head, a glance darting across the sheet and a mind that puts the pieces of the mosaic into a whole picture at the speed of light.

It's going to be an amazing sight, it's a pity that he won't be lucky enough to see it.

It took several weeks before James managed to organize a case that you were investigating alone. In the end, he had to plan carefully — a crime within a crime, the connection between which was visible only to you. And he also had to make sure that it took you some time to untangle these ties.

This became another test for him that needed to be dealt with. And once he thought it all out, all he had to do was wait for you to rush out of the apartment. Pride and impatience have always been your main flaws. Well, and also emotions. You had no idea that Jim was sneaking into your apartment. What the hell is Moriarty doing? It's worse than the imaginary friends of children.

But suddenly, Jim heard a muffled annoyed groan and froze, listening intently to all extraneous sounds. Actually, he didn't expect you to stay in the apartment or comeback for something. After all, Jim personally took care of it. After standing listening for a few more seconds, Moriarty heard the footsteps in the hallway getting closer.

Brilliant, you outsmarted him.
