"Cab!" He bellowed. A cab came. "Follow that cab" he said pointing at the cab speeding away. The cabbie flicked his reins and speed off. He soon lost sight of the cab. 'Fye! Where could she be?'Mycroft thought.
"How could you do this? I thought we agreed that we were over what happened to my father?" Moriarty said her voice angry; she was standing up to her uncle. I sighed quietly 'At least I know that she isn't part of the plot.' I thought with relief.
"Sally, Holmes killed your father, he tarnished your father's reputation. He is the reason why you have to go by that foul last name." Colonel James said angrily at his niece.
"That's the difference between me and you, I forgave The Holmes' family years ago for what happened, you still can't let it go!" Moriarty said turning her back on him and started to walk away from him.
"Sally Moriarty, you come back here this instant," Colonel James voice was almost a threatening growl. Moriarty stopped and clenched her fists together. She turned around after taking a breath.
"Yes dear uncle?"She said thru clenched teeth.
"Give me that envelope that the Holmes girl gave you," He said to her hold out his hand.
"What did you say?" Granger said her face turning pale.
"I said give me that envelope that the Holmes girl gave to you," He said smirking.
"Of course you had her followed," Granger said backing away. I pulled out my revolver from its hiding place on my personage. Colonel grabbed her arm.
"Give it to me Sally and maybe I will let her live," he hissed at her.
"Never!" Moriarty said trying to break his grip on her arm. The colonel started to drag her back to the house.
"AHHCHOOO!" I sneezed.
"Bless you," The colonel said.
