"—Who could that be?" Louis asked, a hint of annoyance could be heard. "Strange... we are not expecting any guests today, I've checked the schedule" Miss Moneypenny mumbled.

"I'll get the door" Bonde got up and headed towards the door as he swung it opened. Standing in front of the wooden door to Universal Export was a 170 centimetres tall man with dual tone hair; predominantly strawberry blond with a dark brown gradient undercut. His eyes appear to be turquoise in colour.

An American? Bonde deduced. "Excuse me, can we help you?" He asked with a charming smile. The said man nodded, uncertainly in his eyes. "You must be Mister Bonde?" Bonde's eyes widened in shocked, how on earth could he know?

"Y-Yes.. I am. How do you know me?" The said man smiled, "Ah.. you just fit the description of a certain primadonna, Miss Adler who faked her death and took on a new identity in a case my senior had told me when I asked if he knew about the disappearance of her. Right there, the mole under your eye"  Billy pointed under his eyes.

Senior?! "O-Oh.. Who may that senior of yours be— what is your name?" Bonde internally scolded himself for not asking the most important question.

"My name is Henry Atrim but you can call me Billy. My Senior is Sherlock Holmes and for why I am here..." Billy reached for a letter from his jacket's inner pocket. "Mister Moriarty sent me to help you with something"

"Say who is sending you here again" Louis asked, his voice shaking. Billy softened his gaze and smiled, "William. You must be his little brother, Louis?" Louis gasped as he continued to stare at Billy.

Miss Moneypenny had her hands covering her mouth, her eyes glistening with tears of hope. "Mr William is alive?!" Bonde asked, still refused to believe.

"Yes, all alive and healthy" Louis sighed in relief as he smiled. "Louis did you hear that?! Will is alive!"

"Yes.. my little Will is still alive" Mr Renfield muttered as he wiped a tear from his eyes.

Billy smiled as he watched everyone in the universal export cried with tears of joy but then he felt a pang to his heart.

"Wait— if William is alive then Mr Holmes would be alive too!" Bonde exclaimed happily. Mycroft, who was also in the room froze upon hearing about his little brother whereabouts.

"Is he with Mr William right now?! Is that why he couldn't come?" Bonde continued to ask Billy to which he averted his gaze from the piercing ocean blue eyes.

Sensing some uncertainty, Mycroft stepped up. "My brother... did he survive?" He hesitantly asked. Billy sighed as he looked at Mycroft, he deserved to know.

"Both of them survived the fall.. Mister Ponytail was strong.. he really was. He immediately woke up 3 days after the fall on the ship bound to America, screaming for Mr William. Mister William however.. sustained injuries worse than Mister Ponytail and he woke up a few months later"

Billy paused, tears forming in his eyes "but shortly before William woke up, Mister Ponytail he... unfortunately passed away"

Mycroft froze. The whole Moriarty household fell in complete silence and shock. "... I.. Thank you for telling me" Billy sniffed as he reached for a sealed envelope. "I-I will tell you the detail later or rather Mr William will tell the detail later but now, he had sent me instructions on how to operate the operation" he handed the envelope to Louis.

"If Sherlock was here, he would be the one instructing on how to operate it instead.." he muttered under his breath. He sighed as he put on his giddy smile, "now let do this"
