Juniper and I were so close to tracking down Moriarty.

Juniper had made an algorithm by tracking the purchases he made from several bank accounts. Yeah i still don't understand how she did it. She is a smart kid. Anyways I was making us some grilled cheese sandwiches when somebody knocked on the door. I didn't hear it or I would have stopped her from getting up.

I watched as Juniper hopped up from the table and went to get the door. I thought she was heading to the bathroom... until I heard her scream. I grabbed the metal baseball bat that we keep at the back door and ran out into the living room. Masked men had zip-tied Juniper up and as soon as I walked in they attacked me. I tried to fight them off but there was too many of them. I scream bloody murder but there is nobody to hear me. I kick and bite and fight with all of my might but i cant escape. Finally the leader of the masked men pulls a gun out and aims it at Juniper.

"Settle down or I'll shoot her." The man barked.

I freeze.

"Good. Take put them in the van." The man barks as his lackeys lead us out into the street. Damn it i wish we lived in a suburban area and not out in the country.

The men shove us unceremoniously into the back of the van. They pile in and suddenly we are driving.

I manage to use the sounds of the road to figure out where we are when suddenly somebody's phone rings. the van pulls over.

"Hello boss. No, should we have?" The leader asks, worried.

There is some very animated speaking coming from the phone.

"Okay we will. Yes Sir." The leader hangs up his phone.

"Knock them out and be gentle with that one." He says pointing at me.

My last clear thought before I go under is this must be Richard. Who else would care if I got hurt?

I wake up in a strange place. My first panicked thought is where is Juniper?

"It's okay I'm right here." Juniper says quietly.

"Shut up!" Barks the man behind her with a gun.

We are in a beautiful Victorian inspired library. The rich taste of this room confirms my theory. This is Moriarty's doing. And as if that weren't enough who should walk in the door but the right hand man himself. Sebastian Moran.

"Really Josef? Put the gun down." Sebastian says tiredly.

"But boss said not to let them escape." The man whines awkwardly. Juniper and I exchange a look.

"He also told me to be gentle you over-sized oaf. So go do something useful. I can handle these two ladies." Sebastian insults eloquently. The other man leaves the room.

"So Keyland as I'm sure you have guessed this is all for you." Sebastian says gently.

"Of course." I agree.

"I'm supposed to tell you something before I show you something." Sebastian says carefully.

"Go on then."

"This is an invitation for you to go to an event with Richard Brooke. There is a movie showing party that he needs a date for. Will you go with him?"

"It would be a cold day in hell if I did. Why would I?" I sass.

"I'm so sorry." Sebastian says.

Sebastian went over to a cabinet and pulled out an open laptop with a live camera on it. It had the picture of a pool.

"What is this?" I ask.

"You'll see." He says softly.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Sebastian yelled.

"Moran." A young man with dark hair spat.

"Will." Sebastian smiled tightly.

'Will' set sown his tray of tea on the coffee table in front of me, then with one final glare to Sebastian, he left the room.

"You may as well get comfortable, this may take a while. Help yourself to some tea. It's the one thing Will can do right." Sebastian smirked.

I smiled at Juniper and we both got our tea, anxiously awaiting whatever Moriarty had planned...
