Sherrinford and Xavier rushed towards the Thames where Sherrinford predict. Sherrinford believes that the revolutionary held Rakkan hostage unless the information was given.

Sherrinford arrived at the Thames with 11 armed man pointing a gun at the duo. Their leader, Jake, shouted;

"Ben Xavier and a mysterious man! I have come here in peace! To talk about negotiation!"

Sherrinford shouted back saying "peace my arse! Bringing 11 armed man pointing a gun at us ain't peace! What do you want!?"

The man simply tells them about the information and Sherrinford simply nodded. He refuse.

The man got frustrated and told Sherrinford to hand the documents over, but Sherrinford refuses. Xavier asked Sherrinford on a terrified voice;

"What are you doing!? We have to give them or else they'll shoot!"

Sherrinford simply reply "Relax Benny, I got this."

Sherrinford then told them;

"Do you know about the history of Gaius Julius Caesar's death? A stab from his adoptive son, Brutus and 80 more senators of the republic. They lose against the battle with Octavian, Julius Caesar's another adoptive son."

The man then replied;
"What the hell are you talking about!?"

Sherrinford calmly glare at them and said "In other words, even if you are currently superior against me, you will loose against a large amount of recruited soldiers."

Then, out of nowhere, a man shouted;
"Hey, hey! What is this commission all about?!" It was Rakkan.

To Xavier and Sherrinford's surprise, Rakkan is smiling at them. Jake shouted at Rakkan, telling them that;

"Didn't we had an agreement!? Why did you give it to the yards!?"

Sherrinford came into the conclusion and laughs. Xavier, confused and asked Sherrinford the reason on why he's laughing.

Sherrinford calmly said that;

"Laura Smith didn't died because of suicide on the first place, she was killed unexpectedly by someone she trusted. Rakkan is no journalism paper giver, he was an underworld crime dealer that sells information widely. Rakkan saw Laura's chase down with the government and took this opportunity to talk to her by telling her that her 'handkerchief' fell. Laura never had any handkerchief to begin with, she was just seduced by his aura and glamorous looks. Right after Laura Gave Rakkan the information, he didn't ran off, he instead told the revolutionaries that she's planning on burning it. To which angers the revolutionaries. They attacked Laura and keeps accusing her. Laura deny all of the allegations and they had another chase down near the Thames. This time, Laura was being pointed by a gun. Laura was about to jump off the river when suddenly, he saw Rakkan on the sides. He asked Rakkan the reason of his presence at the Thames and he simply nodded, smiled and glare at Laura. A revolutionary then accidentally pulled the trigger and accidentally shooting Laura at the side of her head. They then planned all of this as a 'suicide' and make an agreement to negotiate with Rakkan. Is it that right?"

Rakkan laughs and was surprised on how Sherrinford manage to deduce all of that just by observing. Rakkan didn't deny and told Sherrinford that all of it is true. Xavier got surprise and thought that Rakkan is just a young boy who wanna protect his mother, but he was wrong. Sherrinford took Xavier's pistol and pointed it at Rakkan.

"Go ahead" Rakkan said, "shoot me if you can, Sherrinford Radcliffe."

All of the revolutionaries pointed the gun at Sherrinford. Rakkan then pulls a dynamite, treathening Sherrinford. He calmly put the gun down and walk towards the Thames, Looking at it, he saw something deep below. He jumps.

All of them got surprise, including Rakkan. Xavier then screamed "Advance, unit 2!" Then, a large group of Scotland officers rushed towards the scene with some guns on their hands. The 11 revolutionaries was surrounded by 120 Scotland officers.

Rakkan tried to escape by jumping on a boat, but Sherrinford manages to climb with him and the boat move. Sherrinford and Rakkan punch each other while the boat is moving. Sherrinford is trained with some martial arts so he has the advantage. Rakkan then throws the coal at Sherrinford and kicked him out of the boat. Surprisingly, Sherrinford let go and swims as far away as possible. Rakkan thought he had escape, but what he didn't know, is that the dynamite he have before had been set ablaze by the flames of the engine.

The dynamite exploded.

The boat was set on fire while the sun rises. Sherrinford watches the flames before he was rescued by Xavier.

Hours later, the remaining Revolutionaries were found and the stolen documents that was kept hidden under the bed of Rakkan were retrieve. Jonathan congratulate both Xavier and Sherrinford for their great job on catching the revolutionaries.

"Hey, do you know Sherlock Holmes? He kind of reminds me of you"

Sherrinford replied "I'm a big fan, because of his crazy deduction, I manage to become like him"

Xavier was surprised, but Jonathan interfere telling Xavier that;

"That's true, Sherrinford will always make deduction even if he's wrong sometimes!"
