In the moriarty household, Albert was sitting reading the news paper about the slashers death and the merry weather's youngest sons killer reveal, he frowned as his eyes wandered towards a old pocket watch lying in the desk, a gift from someone dear to him
In the past
In the suburbs of 1866
Some men were looking at a news paper article of the horse race "So then What about the up coming westics cup?" One of the questioned
"Which horse to bet on?"
"Might I suggest the one who win it" the man with the red hue on his face says, the other man rolled his eyes "Right like anybody could know that in time"
"John strikers steed" a young voice said, and looked to see a young boy, who was dressed in noble clothes and a top hat, and with a cane

"I said the steed belonging the to trainer, John striker will win the race" he repeated
"Oh yeah?" The man holding the paper asked intrigued "And your certain?"
"Nothing in life is certain, But the odds are favourable" the boy remarked
"You know" the other mans went into thought "Somehow this kid also predicted the winners of the last race" he remembered
"Tell me lad, You able to see into the future?" The one with the red hue asked curiously
The boy gave a closed eye smile "No sir, But horse racing is like any other game By studying the figures you can win 80 percent of the time" he tipped his hat to them then walked away as they watched
"Studying the figures he says" one of the men murmured "He says can you really predict winners By tallying numbers?"
"Search me.." the red hue man shrugged
"Well he is upper class after all, Boys got that fancy learning, not like us commoners" the taller man says arms crossed
As the boy walked he heard the woman selling flowers call out and approached him "Young master, I'm sorry but I need your advice" and gestured to the white flowers she carried in her basket "When I keep them at home they wither up" she explained
He inspected them then said " I would suggest adding just a splash of vinegar to which ever pail you use to water them" he says
"Oh" she says rather surprised "Some vinegar? And that'll keep them fresh?"
"Yes, But only a little bit" he stated then heard the voice of another man "There he is! I wanted to thank you for all your help" he says talking his hat off "I set up some Strychnine just like you said and rats poof Completely disappeared, For you a token of my thanks" he lifted up some small bread buns in a news paper
"Your too kind" he smiled and took the small bag " I gladly accept"
A carriage pulled up with the family symbol, the boy noticed and saw his brother Albert "Brother! Out and about town I see?" He smiled
