Chapter 5-On Fainting and Stuffed Otters

"How silly of me, Sherlock doesn't have a kingdom, he just has you." replied the surrogate paternal unit, "But before I go, the twins left something at 'home'." Moriarty produced two identical stuffed animals from his pocket. He moved towards the children, but Sherlock stepped in front of the twins to retrieve them. Sherlock swiftly took them from Jim's hands and gave them to the twins.

"Oh, right!" Carter remarked. "How could we have forgotten you two?"

"Erm," began John, "What exactly are they?"

Nox turned hers around in her hands to face further inspection, it could be seen that lthese stuffed animals were otters. More specifically, otters wearing blueish purple scarves.

"They were ours when we were little,' Carter explained.

"It was a little clue, a cute little problem for them to solve, I thought they might like it." said Molly, who seemed to have woken up and recovered enough to speak. Nox and Carter looked from their father to the stuffed animal and back again.

"You know, there is a very large similarity between you and this toy." Nox observed.

Carter looked back and forth between the toy and her father.

"Huh. That is strangely correct, sister," she said.

"I do not look like an otter!" Sherlock exclaimed. He turned to Moriarty. "Now why ELSE are you here?"

"I said I would burn the heart out of you, and burn I will," replied the assassin. He turned, opened the door to the flat, and left.

Carter said, "That is enigmatic. That was textbook enigmatic."
