Chapter 2

Professor Moriarty laughed and spun his great great granddaughter round.

"You were right Jason" the professor said "she's a little treasure." Then he turned to Orchid "don't you wreck this girl, we blow this and Holmes will know what we're doing. Don't do anything stupid."

"No professor" Orchid said, "now excuse me I have to pack I'm moving in tomorrow."

!

"Orchid"

Orchid turned to see her brother behind her, her brother may have been on the thick side but he did love his younger sister.

"What is it Jon?" Orchid asked turning back to her suitcase.

"Be careful"

Orchid froze at the words, Jonathon Moriarty continued, "I don't claim to be particularly clever but even I can see who stands to lose most if we fail. You shouldn't have to do this your too young."

"Jonathon, I have no choice none of us do, remember what happened to mother."

"I know Orchid" Jonathon said leaving the room as quickly as he had entered it. Leaving his sister to her thougts. She wouldn't cry she wouldn't be that weak.

Gabrielle Venitari settled into the bedroom that once belonged to Dr Waston in Baker street. It was a decent room, not elaborate but comfortable. It had been quite easy Holmes seemed strange, not what she had expected, but if she was honest she wasn't sure what she had expected. Sherlock Holmes had never been portrayed as evil by her family just an enemy.

Bizzarely the Moriarty family had never tried to justify what they did, they knew from a moral point of view they were villians, they just didn't care.

Holmes was weird and she knew he had a brilliant mind, he was not really friendly but he wasn't cruel. He was interesting, so far anyway. Gabrielle had always had a dangerous curiosity, she would kill him she had no choice, but it didn't mean she wasn't curious about him.

"So Miss Venitari settling in alright are you?" Sherlock Holmes said leaning against the doorframe.

"Mr Holmes, i thought you were asleep, I didn't want to disturb you so I sorted myself out, I'll start tidying up the place".

"Your clothes style indicates you are above housework why did you want this job?" Holmes asked Gabrielle.

"Surely such a great detctive can work that out for himself" Gabrielle said trying to hide her smirk.

"Oh so your going to make me do this the hard way are you?"

"Of course I'd hate to deprive you of your intellectual stimulation Mr Holmes," Gabrielle said.

"Very well Miss Venitari" Holmes said moving to leave "I'll work you out, I promise you."

Gabrielle watched the door close behind her and sighed putting her head in her hands. She could only hope Holmes wouldn't discover the truth.

Gabrielle set abot tidying the drawing room when Dr Watson worked in.

"Good morning Miss Venitari" he said tipping his hat.

"Good morning Dr Watson" she replied smiling. Gabrielle liked Dr Watson he was a kind, respectable gentlman, far easier to get on with than his friend.

"I see you have already begun tidying up this pigsty."

"Mr Holmes certainly has a creative housekeeping style" Gabrielle said.

"If you want to be polite" Watson said, "have you been brave enough to enter the lair yet?" Watson asked.

"No Mr Holmes has forbidden me from entering that room apparently everything is in its proper place".

"Indeed he'd notice if you moved a book two inches to the left".

"I believe you, but there's some strange noises coming from the room and I didn't like to disturb him."

"Well" Watson said approaching the door "enter at your own risk Miss Venitari"

Gabrielle poked her head around the door and saw Holmes with his hair sticking up and a scorched face holding test tubes with strange coloured liquids in them.

"Ah Watson, Miss Venitari." Holmes said.

"What on earth are you doing in here Mr Holmes?" Gabrielle asked.

"I wanted to know what would happen if I mixed these two chemicals together, needless to see anyone's deduction skills can see it created an explosion."

"Does this happen a lot Doctor?" Gabrielle asked.

"I'm afraid so" Watson replied.

"I'm starting to see why this job is dangerous an I've only been here a few hours...oh god is that dog dead?"

"I'm testing a new anaesthetic, he'll be fine in an hour" Holmes said unbothered.

Gabrielle rolled her eyes. This was going to be exhausting but exciting.

"Mr Holmes, Inspctor Lestrade sent me to fetch you," a voice said from outside the door.

"Watson come with me," Holmes said "Miss Venitari you come too."

Gabrielle and Watson shared a confused look before following the great detective down the stairs and into the waiting carriage.
