Deceptive Clues Sherlock Holmes x Reader

Meeting Charlie

Enola decided to call a meeting at Sherlock's flat. Enola sent a message to Sherlock and Y/N requesting their presence at his flat that evening. Y/N had also invited Tewksbury. When Y/N arrived at the flat, Enola and Sherlock had already set up a small board with her research on Henry Blackwood and his gang. Tewksbury arrived a few minutes later.  Enola sighed heavily "What is he doing here?!" "I invited him, Enola," Y/N says. Sherlock kept quiet not knowing what to say, Tewksbury mouthed a thank you before sitting down next to you. Enola began to explain her findings to them, pointing out the connections between the gang and recent criminal activity in the area. Sherlock listened intently, his sharp mind piecing together the puzzle as Enola presented her evidence. He began to ask questions, probing for more information and filling in the gaps in Enola's research. Y/N, meanwhile, looked on in amazement. She had heard of Sherlock's remarkable abilities, but seeing them in action was truly something else. As the meeting progressed, Enola and Sherlock began to develop a plan to take down Henry Blackwood and his operation. 

Enola explained everything she had discovered so far about Henry Blackwood's past and his current situation. Sherlock listened intently and then suggested that they split up to cover more ground. He would investigate Henry's criminal activities and any possible connections he may have with other gangs. Tewksbury would search for any clues that could lead them to Charlie Thompson, while Enola and Y/N would visit the Bennet estate and try to speak with LilyVenna's father.

The Bennet estate was an impressive building, with a long driveway leading up to a grand entrance. Enola and Y/N were stopped by the butler, who demanded to know their business. Enola explained that they were investigating the death of LilyVenna and needed to speak with Mr. Bennet. The butler looked skeptical, but after some convincing, he allowed them inside.

Mr. Bennet was an old man, with a stern face and piercing eyes. Enola explained that they were investigating the circumstances surrounding LilyVenna's death and asked if he had any information that could help them. Mr. Bennet hesitated for a moment before opening a drawer in his desk and pulling out a small box. He handed it to Enola and said, "These are the letters that LilyVenna wrote to Henry. I kept them all these years." Enola thanked him and opened the box. The letters were filled with love and longing, but also with hints of fear and desperation. Enola felt a pang of sadness for LilyVenna, who had been caught up in a situation beyond her control.

Meanwhile, Tewksbury had been searching for Charlie Thompson in the stables where he used to work. He had spoken to some of the stable boys, but none of them knew where Charlie had gone. Tewksbury was about to give up when he noticed a piece of paper sticking out from under a pile of hay. He pulled it out and saw that it was a letter from Charlie Thompson.

The letter was written in code, but Tewksbury was able to decipher it with some effort. Charlie explained that he had left the Bennet estate because he had gotten involved with Henry's gang, but he had since realized his mistake and wanted to make amends. He gave Tewksbury the address of a safe house where he was hiding and asked him to meet him there.

When Tewksbury arrived at the safe house, he found Charlie waiting for him. Charlie was thin and gaunt, with a haunted look in his eyes. 

Charlie explained to Tewksbury how the situation left Henry with a deep sense of resentment towards his step-family and the wealthy elite. He believed that they had abandoned him and his mother in their time of need and the killing of LilyVenna, created this bitterness that had fueled his criminal activities. Tewksbury had also discovered that Henry had formed a gang of like-minded individuals who shared his hatred for the upper class. They operated in secret and carried out various illegal activities, including theft, blackmail, and even murder. Tewksbury knew that this information was crucial in apprehending Henry and his gang. Tewksbury was eager to share her research with the others and seek their help in taking down Henry and his operation once and for all.

He discovered that he was involved in various activities including being the founder of the so-called "Blackwood Blades" also known as "The Shadow Blades". At first, the organization consisted of petty crimes such as theft and gambling schemes but the organization evolved into extortion and even murder. Tewksbury knew that he needed to bring his findings to Sherlock, Y/N, and Enola.

Tewksbury asked him what had happened between him and Henry, and Charlie explained that they had a falling out over a job that had gone wrong. Henry had blamed Charlie for the failure, and they had parted ways on bad terms.

Charlie then told Tewksbury about a meeting that Henry was planning with a rival gang. He said that Henry was looking to expand his territory and was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. Tewksbury thanked him for the information and promised to keep him safe.

Back at Clifford Street, Sherlock had discovered that Henry Blackwood had connections with several other criminal gangs such as "The Black Rose Syndicate" mostly known for chemical distribution, and "The Iron Circle" mostly known for trading mostly exporting illegal weapons. He had also learned that Henry was planning a heist at a jewelry store in the city. Sherlock knew that they needed to act quickly to stop him. 

Enola, Y/N, Tewksbury, and Sherlock gathered at 221B Baker Street to discuss their next move. Enola and Y/N arrived back first with the box of letters. Sherlock listened to their report and then told them what he had discovered. Tewksbury arrived and told them of what evidence he had gathered.

They knew that it would not be easy, but they were determined to bring the criminals to justice. Enola suggested that they try to infiltrate the gang by sending in a decoy, someone who could gain their trust and learn more about their operations. Tewksbury agreed that it was a good plan and suggested that Y/N should be the one to do it. He believed that her quick thinking and resourcefulness made her the perfect candidate. Sherlock was initially hesitant, but after some convincing from Enola and Tewksbury, he agreed that Y/N should take on the dangerous assignment. Y/N knew that it would be risky, but she also knew that it was the best way to gather more information about the gang and its activities. 

With their plan in place, the group worked late into the night, going over every detail and contingency. They knew that they would need to be prepared for anything if they were to succeed in their mission. As the meeting came to a close, Sherlock expressed his concern for Y/N's safety. He promised to do everything in his power to protect her, but he also warned her that she would need to be careful and keep her wits about her at all times. Y/N nodded, her resolve stronger than ever. She was determined to bring down Henry Blackwood and his operation, no matter the cost. And with Sherlock, Enola, and Tewksbury by her side, she knew that she had the best possible allies in her fight against crime.
