ACT II
Going on an Adventure

Chapter 4 – An Unexpected Party

It was almost the three year anniversary of Sherlock's Death. John and Sophia just had a mission in Turkey bringing down some members there. They turned their headsets to the main Network to find a recorded message. From Melody.

"Attention all Agents" the message said "this is the Head of Communications speaking. You are all to return to HQ. There is only one more mission left. Constant Vigilance!"

Sophia and John headed back to the home of the Irregulars they were staying with and packed up to head to the airport. They thanked the family for their hospitality and headed back to London. For the first time in three years.


The flight back was decent. Nothing too special happened. When they left the airport, they found Melody waiting for them, with Sophia's bike; a sidecar attached.

"We need to head to HQ right away" Melody said, climbing into the sidecar.

"Can't we go by -", John began to ask

"No, that's too out of the way" Melody said as the bike roared to life, for the first time in a long while.


They returned to HQ and were told to head to the main hall. They walked there in silence beneath the chattering of Officers, Agents and a few Irregulars.

One everyone was in the hall, Director took the stage.

"As you know," Director announced "we have almost completed our mission! Now all we have to do is cut the final thread and obtain the final piece of evidence"

Then an Irregular went on the stage.

"The final piece of evidence is the phone of Sherlock Holmes. Word on the street, it has a recording of a confession by Moriarty. It seems the Web has the phone, but the phone has been rigged to send its contents to the Yard if they try to break into it, or break it."

"With the phone, we will be able to prove Sherlock Holmes was not a fraud" Director announced

With that, Melody gestured for John and Sophia to go onto the stage.

"Agents Baggins and Spitfire are to complete this final mission" Director announced, responded by cheering, "however, due to the importance of this mission, a third member will be joining you. Though he is new, he has proven himself amply"

"Hope it is not a daft young adult, I hate how they think this is a war against traditional media!" John whispered to his partner, eyes not at the doors that just opened, nor at the crowd that parted; many with faces of utter shock at the man who just entered the room.

"John…" Sophia whispered as their third member walked up the steps

"What?" he snapped, eyes looking around.

He froze, looking at the tall man who joined them. He was skinny, but the weight he had was muscle, had grey-green-blue-whatever eyes, a mop of curly dark hair and cheekbones that could be seen from the back of the room.

Sherlock Holmes smiled slightly and said, "Hello John"
