The cab drops me off just outside and I settle the bill before stepping climbing out. I look up at 221 Baker Street for a moment before going inside.

It's been two months since I last stepped foot inside and it took a lot of willpower to come here today. But I've sat on my haunches for long enough and I'm ready to come back into the game.

Moriarty must have had a network behind him, it's how he organised the assassins and how he operated as a consulting criminal. Now he's gone, it's up to me to avenge my father by disassembling his network. The spider is gone, but the web remains. 

I've timed it so I get here while Mrs Hudson is on her weekly shop - that way I'm not disturbed as I pick my things up. Most of it I will leave here - things like the microscope and science equipment that will only be stolen or broken if I take it back with me. Instead, I pack a messenger bag with my computers and other digital equipment and a small suitcase with my other essentials before making it back out within half an hour. Mrs Hudson won't even notice I've been there. 

The reason for my sudden activity comes from the group of homeless kids I've been bedding down with for the last few weeks. They could tell me one of my leads had recently booked a flight to Stuttgart in Germany. We don't know why or whether it's linked to Moriarty or not but as it stands, it's the only lead I've got. So I'm taking it.
