The next day came and Evie and Andy walk into the pub and up to Dickens, "There's been a spate of rather intriguing thefts around the about the town recently." Dickens informs the two, they both look at each other then back at him, "Robberies in London are hardly supernatural events." Evie tells him as Andy crosses his arms. "They look like common robberies at first, but these preceptors have all claim to have been the influence of some supernatural power. I'm not so foolish is to forget that criminals will spin any yard to avoid the law. However, these thieves all proffer the same defense: they say that they were being controlled by a demon." he tells them.
Andy uncross his arms and shift in his spot, "Will you make some enquirers? One of our demon-possessed mobsmen is being held behind bars at this very moment. You may want to begin your search there." he tells them, they both nod at him and left the pub, heading down the street, they then cut through the alleyway, running down the alley they found the building, then entered through the door and make their way up the stairs and found the cell holding the man for his crime. Andy looks at the cell as he and Evie walk up to the policeman.
"What's that man done?" Evie asks him and the policeman turns to them. "Robbed the pawnbroker's down the road." he answers them. Andy crosses his arms and mumbled an 'uh-huh', "A demon made me do it!" the man cries out, the two look at him, "I can't remember much. That's what's so queer . I've never stolen anything in my life before!" he tells them, the two look at each other and then look at the man and walk up to the cell. "Lets pretend we believe you, what made you do it." Evie tells him. "All I can recall is a silver watch, swinging in mid-air. It was held by someone, - or something! A dark presence whispering, I could only see its eyes. A demon." he tells them and Andy sighs, "We need to verity this with the shopkeeper." he states, Evie looks at him and more.
"Agreed." she states, Andy uncross his arms and they both walks over to the window, Evie jumps out first and Andy followed after her, they then jump across the roof and jump down onto the street, Andy jump up to the carriage and took the reins, then Evie jumps up next to him and he cracks the reins. Making the horse take off and he makes a turn to the right, rode down the road and then takes a left and he pulls back onto the reins as he makes the horse pull over to the side.
He then jumps down and held out his hand. Evie takes it and he helps her step down and they both walk into the shop, the shopkeeper notices them. "What can you tell us about the robbery?" Evie asks him, "There's not much to say. Most of the items did come from the same seller. Ezio Capelli, sorcerer supreme, a famous show man, from Italy. Several weeks ago, he was force to pawn his family heirlooms. Debts." the man informs them. He then pulls out a paper and wrote something down, "I have the address of the last person who redeemed something of his. A lovely pearl necklace, that helpful?" he tells them and handed the paper to them and Andy takes it.
But then he suddenly turns around, seeing a woman steal something. "Not again, stop her!" the shopkeeper shouts, the two nod and chase the woman out of the shop and into the back alleyway. "Damn, for a woman in a dress, she sure is fast." Andy whines, Evie rolls her eyes and then tackles the woman to the ground. Andy finally catches up to them as Evie stood up and so did the woman, who look confused, "What happened, where am I?" she asks.
Evie looks over at Andy, who shrugs at her and they both look at her, "You took something from a pawnshop." Evie informs her, the woman rubs her temple. "It's all very hazy but – I remember something silver flashing in front of my eyes. Then I heard a sort of bell. Next thing I know, I'm here with you two." she tells them and then walks off. The two look at each other, "Our only lead is this mysterious buyer." Evie states, Andy nods and they both ran further into the alleyway, they then shot their hooks up at the roof, jump up top and they saw a man mugging a woman, the rain started to pour and Andy pulls on his hood. "This chap might lead up to the demon." Evie states, "We just have to remain close to him, but stay in the shadows." Andy tells her, Evie nods. They both saw the man take off and they both jump down and followed after him, they ran through crowds of people, almost loosing him.
But thanks to Alexandria's training Andy was able to catch up with him and Evie catches up as well, they then followed him down the street, taking lefts and rights, until they came to the park, but stopping behind trees, seeing the man walk up to another man. "Good. You want to give me the necklace, now, don't you?" the other man tells him, holding a silver pocket watch in from of the mugger. "Yes, I want to give you the necklace now." the mugger said in a monotone, then walks off, Andy watches the man place the watch away as the rain cease.
Andy pulls off his hood and then they both walk over to him, "Mister Ezio Capelli, I presume?" Evie states as Ezio reaches into his pocket. "So you're responsible for the theft of your own jewels." she adds. But then he held the watch in front of them, "You are very mistaken, aren't you, my dears." he tells them, swinging the pocket watch in front of them and their looks go blank. "Yes, we're very much mistaken." they both said, but Andy tries to shake off the hypnotism, "Hang on." he mumbles, squeezing his eyes shut, pulls his fingers to his forehead, shaking his head.
"You are very much mistaken and now you are so very, very tired, aren't you?" he asks of them and they both fell under his spell, standing there looking into the watch. "Yes, we're so very, very tired." they both answers and yawn. "Now you both are going to do a little job of work for me, aren't you?" he asks them again. And everything went black.

"Ha, ha, my goodness! What fowl behavior." Charlies states as Evie was stood a strange dance in the cell and Andy was outside the cell, leaning against the bars, his legs and arms cross and hood over his head to cover his flush red face. Evie stops and looks at Charlies. "What's going on? Where and I?" Evie asks, as Charlies stood in front of the cell door. "You've been arrested for theft! How very intriguing!" Charlies states, then Evie crosses her arms, "I can't remember a jot of it." Evie tells him, then Charlies looks over at Andy, "So does Andy, but he won't tell me how he was able to snap out of it, I'm afraid." Charlies states and Evie looks over at Andy, who grunts and pulls his hood down even further.
Then Charlies turns back to Evie, "Lets get you out of here. I've pulled a few strings and they won't prosecute on amount of you loosing your mind. Be free, little chicken." Charlies jokes as Andy snickers a little, Evie glared over at him as the door open, he stops and clears his throat and Evie steps out of the cell and walks up to him. "So how did you manage to snap out of the whatever we were under?" she asks him, Andy said nothing and then he uncross his legs and then walks to the stairs, "Don't want to talk about it." he answers and walks down the steps, she sighs and follows after him.
Alexandria once told her that Andy was a stubborn as a mule, but she didn't realize that he was that bloodly stubborn, whatever happen to him, his making his face red and more red the a raspberry, whatever happen that made him this way.
