A/N: Based on the thought that Holmes likes to keep his criminals active (in order not to die from boredom), and Macdonald may have known more about the circumstances of the hunt for Moriarty than shown in canon. Note: Jane calls her brother James in public, John when she speaks to other family members.

“You don’t want to destroy him. You enjoy the chase too much.”
Jane loomed over Holmes, all relaxed in his chair.
“And you live for nothing but your brother’s death.”
“At least my aim will be fulfilled some day.”
She growled:
“If we don’t finish James off first, Macdonald dies. Does it really take another death to wake you, Holmes?”
II
Jane handed her rare visitor a teacup, fully aware of her lack of grace.
“Fact is, without Macdonald’s death, we’d never have the Holmes brothers’ support. No Peckston raid, no Firelli ambush, the Redhands never caught… and John forever unopposed.”
Mercy sipped carefully.
“You tell Macdonald’s widow.”
She put down her cup.
“I wish he had at least fought back.”
