The moon was high above London. Shernette had a neutral look as she rode in the carriage with Watson.

"Holmes. You've been quite for a while. Can you tell me what's wrong?" He asked.

"Apparently we have an important job given to us by the Queen herself. And Irene happens to have found some papers, if exposed to the world, could threaten others like myself. I just need to get those papers back or destroy them depending on the situation. If possible, I could also erase her memory as well." Shernette said making Watson surprised.

-----------------------
William had expected for this MOD to send him another game to play, but so far, nothing.

Then he recalled the Albert told him of classified papers stolen from the British Empire which can throw Britain into chaos. Could MOD be connected with it?

For now, he has to find a way to make contact with Irene.
------------
Irene did not expect for the Greatest Detective to see through her guise and actually get the papers destroyed without her noticing with the help of her assistant.

"I apologize miss Adler. But these papers don't contain a scandal, but a secret that could lead to another Witch hunt." Shernette said making Irene confused.

"Pardon?"

"Those papers contained information on my own people who have hidden in the shadows far longer than you think.......if you would I can show you more proof. But you have to promise not to say a word to a single soul outside my circle."

Irene was not sure what she was getting into, but her curiosity overcame her nervousness and accepted the invite.
---------
"So we are gonna have a guest over?"
Voices began chattering.

"Looks like it. But wasn't she going to expose us?"

"Apparently she mixed the papers up. She was after a scandal actually."

"Every kingdom has its scandals."

"Well, we can't be rude and no damage was done."

"Yeah..."

"............I just hope this Moriarty is not persistent enough to follow."
