Lilli and Enola followed Bessie to the match factory. Upon arrival at the match factory they get checked for typus, before they walk to where the machines were.
They go over to the stations, Bessie at hers, Lilli at the one Sarah use to work at, and Enola in front of them. While working Lilli spotted the office.
"We need to get up in that office." Lilli tells Bessie.
"Not a hope." Bessie says.
Lilli sneaked forward tapping Enola on the shoulder before pointing to the office. The two girls slowly sneak behind crates to get to the office. Lilli purposely knocks over a pot causing the guy to turn in that direction, in the process he knocks over a bowl of matches. As he was yelling at the girls around to pick them up, Lilli and Enola sneak up the stairs to the office. The door was luckily unlocked so they got in easily. While looking Lilli finds a book with a page ripped out and a strand of red hair.
"Enola." Lilli says, gesturing to the book and the strand of hair.
"So she did steal something." Enola says.
They then hear a meeting going on about a theft.
"Okay, that's defintely about what Sarah stole." Lilli says.
"What else would it be about?" Enola asks.
The people then start to come out of the office causing the two girls to hide. Once the cost was clear they run back down to their stations, luckily without being seen."How did Sarah do it?" Lilli asks, as they were leaving the factory. "Get into the office?"
"There was a fire at one of the stations. Foreman got distracted." Bessie tells her.
"Whose station?" Enola asks. "Mae's?"
"Yes. You're a good detective, Enola Holmes." Bessie says.
Enola and Lilli then see Mae leaving.The two girls follow Mae through the busy streets, it was dark out. The see her going into a theatre. 'The Pargon'. They walk in and get tickets before looking around for Mae.
"Where is she?" Lilli asks.
"I don't know." Enola replies, as the music comes to an end.
Someone then swings down from the ceiling causing the two girls to duck. The person lands on the stage, before the curtain behind her opens and the music starts playing. More girls come out on stage and start performing. Lilli and Enola spotted Mae in the group of stage, they shared a knowing smile before clapping along with the audience.
After the performance, Lilli and Enola sneak backstage. The noticed the makeup that was the same as Sarah's from the apartment as well as the stag antlers on the wall. Lilli goes to continue looking for Mae, one to get a knife held to her throat and to be pinned against the wall by the girl they were looking for.
"You got five seconds to tell me why you're here." Mae tells her.
"Did Sarah work here?" Lilli asks. "She did, didn't she? And Bessie doesn't know."
"There's plenty Bessie don't know. And plenty you don't need to tell her." Mae says.
"We know you helped her into that office." Enola says, stepping forward. "She toke those pages. Why? What's happened to her?"
"Just leave us be, all right?" Mae tells the two girls.
"Posh girls like you don't belong in this fight." Mae says.
Lilli then flips her and Mae so Mae was now against the wall.
"Posh girl or not. We still know how to fight." Lilli says. "Now tell us, where is she hiding? And what does she know?"
"You got more to you then I thought." Mae says.
A guy then clears his throat.
"Whatever this is, Mae is on stage in 30 ticks, and she's still dressed as a gent." The guy says. "So let go of her, now."
Mae smirks as Lilli lets her go.
"Get them out of here." Mae says.
"Be my pleasure." The guy says.
Mae walks away, after showing them the knife was fake, and Enola questions the guy as enough girl walks up to Lilli.
"Don't mind Mae. She's been acting werid ever since Sarah went missing." The girl with blonde her tells Lilli. "I am Elizabeth Styles."
"And I am... Daisy Nielsen." Lilli says, before looking around spotting that Enola was gone. "Sorry, my friends disappeared. I should probably go find her."
"I'll help you find her." Elizabeth says.
"Thank you." Lilli says.
The two girls walk around the backstage area until they found Enola talking to the guy at the station Sarah use to get ready at.
"What's going on?" Lilli asks.
"A guy use to visit Sarah." Enola explains.
"A guy?" Lilli asks, before turning to the man in fron of them. "What guy?"
He then holds his hand out for some money, which Enola sighs before handing it to him.
"Society type, and he came regular, Very keen on him she was. He'd send flowers, letter." The guy explains, as Lilli kneels down to look at the makeup case.
She opens it and pulls the two sides apart to find a letter.
"He's name?" Lilli asks.
He holds his hand out for money again, Enola sighs before giving him more money.
"Never gave one." The guy says. "You see.They all think there's hope. That love is coming their way. But it never is." The guy says, before Lilli, Enola and Elizabeth walk away.
"That is Grail. He's always like that." Elizabeth says.
"We gathered." Enola says.
"Well, good luck on your case. Hope you find Sarah. It's werid without her here." Elizabeth says, before walking away.The two girls were walking back to their place, someone had been following them, when they saw both their brothers getting thrown out the bar.
"Liam?" Lilli asks.
"Sherlock?" Enola asks at the same time.
"Lilli." Liam says.
"Enola." Sherlock says, at the same time as Liam.
The two man were clearly drunk as hell.
"What are yoy doing here? It's not safe." Liam says. "There's scary people about."
"Yes, let me know when you meet one." Lilli says.
"Brothers, are you quite yourself?"Enola ask the two men.
"We're fine." Sherlock replies, grabbing his cane. "It was just a disagreement over a glass of wine. And who's wine it was. And I find after wine. It's very difficult to make your arms and legs move."
"Okay, let's get you home." Lilli says, as the two men stumble.
Enola helps Sherlock while Lilli helps Liam.After a long cab ride, a trick trip up a flight of steps, and the two boys drunkly arguing with their sisters as the men acted like children, the boys fall asleep. The two girls decided to have a look around the apartment at the clues of Sherlock's current case. After a little while the girls fall asleep themselves.
