As Angie and I entered box five the next night we were surprised to find it already occupied. A man was sitting in one of the seats faceing the stage he didn't look up or even move when we opened the door. We hesitated a minute in the door way unsure whether to proceed of not.
"Come in girls," said the man. "I assure you that I don't bite." He stood up and bowed us to seats on either side of him. "I am truly sorry for what happened last night, How is your ankle Mademoiselle Ophira."
"Better, thank you for asking." I was impressed with this man and his polite manners.
"I believe you are here to ask me about the leader of every mentionable crime ring in the world?"
"Yes."
"Very well, my part in this story begins almost eleven years about when I feel in love with a chorus girl…"
Angie and I sat in shocked silence when the man finished his story. No one deserved what had happened to him, absolutely no one, and Angie seemed determined to do something about it.
"You're coming back to the Nautilus with us," she told him.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Just for an hour or two," Angie pleaded. "Meet everyone; see the world in a different light. Then if you want you can come back here."
"No thank you," he said grimly. "I've seen how cruel the world can be to those who are different."
"Different might be a bit of an understatement when talking about these people," I smiled.
He paused for a moment. "I guess one hour wont hurt."
"Darn right it wont," laughed Angie. "So what's your name?"
"Erik."
"We brought an Erik," Angie announced happily to the league.
"I see," said Nemo. "But why is he here?"
"To tell everyone about Zirro."
"Who is Zirro?" Quartermain asked
"Zirro is the one you need to kill. She is insane, and can cause others to become so."
"Did you say she?" Sawyer asked
"A young girl not much younger than the Holmes sisters," Erik clarified. "She can make people go insane by blowing a puff of air in their ear, however it is only temporary."
"A child," said Mina thoughtfully.
"It's shocking," agreed Jekyll. "I'm not entirely sure I can stomach the thought of a mere child associating with people like Moriarty."
"She's the worst of them," Erik said gruffly. "You wouldn't believe some of the things I did under her influence."
"They weren't your fault," I assured him.
"Thank you Mademoiselle Holmes, thank you all. I believe my hour is over and it is time for me to return to my Opera house."
"You won't stay," Angie asked obviously disappointed.
He smiled. "I'll stay in touch. Don't hesitate to write if you have any need of me at all." With a nod he disappeared.
"Where'd he go," Sawyer demanded
"Well he's the Opera Ghost," Angie scolded. "You can't expect him to hang around all night!"
They went to Paris my lady," the man whispered. "They found the monster. He told them everything."
"Good," Zirro answered. "Let them think they know me, I can hardly wait till they find out how wrong they are."
