Eliana's POV:

"Sherlock I know the plan, there's no need to repeat it for the sixteenth time"

"Alright then, time to execute it" Irene said and she dragged me to my apartment.

"Step one, warderobe" she opened the doors of my closet, and the face she made was undescribable.

"Don't you have anything we can use-? I mean there must be something"

"N o p e" I said slowly.

"Why not? I mean like I have plently-" I cut her off.

"Well maybe because I don't dress like you..." I said awkwardly.

"Well you can borrow something from me, I will be right back"

About an hour and half later we walked back into Sherlock and John's apartment.

I was wearing a knee-lenght, long sleeve, velvet red dress, with a split on the side and black heels. My hair was in an elegant messy bun and I had a little bit of make-up on, not too much but it was noticable.

"We're back!" Irene yelled and Sherlock looked up from his computer. Meanwhile John came out of the kitchen and his jaw dropped.

"Is this really neccessary? Because I don't think i've ever felt this uncomfortable in an outfit before-"

"Well guessing from John's reaction I believe that it is very effective" Sherlock said looking/glaring at John, and he got snapped back into reality.

"Anyway- " I said awkwardly "-it's almost 6 pm, we should probably get going if we want to stay on scheduele"

"You're right, i'll call Mycroft and let him know we're on our way."

An hour later we stepped out of the car infront of a massive building. It looked elegant, yet intimidating.

There was a lot going on inside, dancing, fighting, drinking, but no one even seemed to care, like it was normal.

"I'm afraid you're on your own from here, sister of mine" Sherlock said, giving me a pat on the shoulder.

"And if anything goes wrong you just have to say-"

"Vatican Cameos, I know Sherlock"

"Alright then, best of luck"

"Thank you, i'll see you all on the other side" I said closing the car door behind me.

I made sure the ear piece was well secured before I stepped up to the doors of the building.

"Name?" One of the guards asked.

"Ivy Green"

"Your parents named you Ivy Green? Really?"

"Yes well we have what some might call a 'difficult relationship'. They thought word puns were funny, I despise them for it but anyway I don't want to bore you with my family issues so if you'll just excuse me for a minute-" I said pushing past them and walking inside.

The moment I stepped inside I was met with laughter, the cheerful and uplifting but also classy music being played by the band in the corner, the smell of alcohol and smoke, the light of the giant chandelier hanging from the second story balcony and the sight of the sunset you could see from all around the room because of the enormous glass windows.

"I'm in" I whispered so Sherlock, John, Mycroft and Irene would know.

"Okay, on your left you'll see a bar, go over there and wait till you find the target"

"I'm just supposed to sit here until he shows up? What if he doesn't?"

"He will, trust me"

"Sherlock honestly, you're the last person on this planet that I would trust"

"Just go over there!"

"Fine"

I walked over to the bar, sat down on one of the barstools and ordered a drink.

No less then two minutes later out of the corner of my eyes, I saw him standing on the balcony, staring at me.

He walked down one of the spiral staircases that we're on either side of the balcony, and came over to the bar.

He sat down right next to me. He was wearing a fancy suit, judging by his style choice either Westwood or Ralph Lauren.

At this point I wasn't sure anymore if it was the staring or my outfit that was making me uncomfortable...

"You're not from around here are you?" He asked after what felt like ages.

"Well, nice evening to you too" like seriously? Not even a hello?

"It's just a question, that's how you strike up a conversation" he said with a stupid smirk on his face.

I've been talking to this guy for less then a minute and I can already tell his ego is through the roof.

"Try starting with 'hello' next time" he chuckled.

"James Moriarty" he held out his hand for me to shake.

"Eliana"

"And do you have a last name?"

"Moore, Eliana Moore" I said as I shook his hand.
