Unlikely Alliences- Sherlock Holmes

The Meeting

Lucinda POV:

I arrive to my apartment building and walk slowly upstairs.

The door is already unlocked.

“Lucinda.” Moriarty tells me.

“Jim.”

We stare at each other for a moment.

“What do you want?” I ask him and sit across from him.

He has a cup of tea and sips from it.

“You know, just the usual.”

“Attention?”

“Possibly.”

“From Sherlock.”

“Well, now from you too. I enjoy my games with Sherlock. But now, you are here. It will make it much more interesting.”

“How did you fake your death?”

“Same as Sherlock did. I also have people who can help me.”

“It wasn’t you on the roof top with Sherlock, was it?”

“See, just like Sherlock. I’m loving you already.”

“Why are you here?”

“I wanted to get to know you. And to tell you, things are about to get extremely interesting in London.” He gets up and walks toward the door. “It was nice seeing you again, Lucinda. I’ve really missed you.”

He steps out and I can hear him leave.

What did he mean by that?

I pick up my phone and dial Sherlock.

“Moriarty was just here.”

“I know.”

“Of course you would know. What now?”

“What did he want?”

“He said he just wanted to meet me and that things were going to get extremely interesting.”

“Hmm.” Was all he said and hung up.

Now what? What was I supposed to do now?

I needed answers. I needed to know what Jim Moriarty had meant.

Had we met before? Had he seen me before?

Of course he had seen me. He probably went through all the surveillance cameras that were placed around London.

But, that… That didn’t feel right.

He… He knew me. From before. I was sure of it. I felt it.

I was missing something. But what?

I pace around the living room and finally decide to go to bed. It was late after all.

Although, I knew I wouldn’t sleep.

I decide to turn on my pc and go over Moriarty’s file.

There had to be something there. Something that would ease me.

I went throughout the file several times and I couldn’t find anything.

Then, I found what I was looking for.

The very last page:

Katherine Mitchell Moriarty- 04/12/1984 – 11/03/2012
