During the night, a homeless man sat on the ground underneath the bridge as it rained

Suddenly he hears the sound of sorrowful singing, and looks came out to see up top of the bridge a woman is seen dancing on the side, but what was more strange was the happy look on her face, however her eyes seemed like she was in some sort of trance

She then jumped off the edge, turning and falling backwards with her arms out smiling as she hit the water

The homeless man with a look of horror on his face, runs to alert the authorities, however he wasn't the only one out there

Someone else had jumped into the water, and further up the river she came out with the help of a woman with black hair, but with her was the dancer, who remained unconscious

William was teaching his class at the university, currently writing on the black board, then turning to the class "Before we go on, are there any questions up to this point" he questioned before noticed someone missing amongst the class "appears lucian's absent again today, has anyone seen him" the blond boy who would usually sit next to the missing person grows nervous before raising his hand " Professor!"

"Yes what is it Tate?" William says looking now his direction

"Lucians!...Well you see...He has a cold!" Tate stated "A cold I'm sorry to hear" William replied "Right after the lecture I'll pay him a visit" he says smiling

"No!" Tate exclaimed "You don't have to do that! You see!...Lucian and I share the same dormitory room!" Tate assured "So I'm looking after him!"

William began pondering "Interesting, Well that's a relief to hear" he smiled, Elsewhere someone was finishing important papers when he suddenly heard "Tate Percival and lucian atwood, I'll find the information for you right away sir" another teacher says and takes a peak to see William as the teacher left him

William feels a persons gaze and looks but can't find the person, the person who had looked began tapping against the pen in his hand

William then reads the record outside in private 'Lucian is the heir to the Atwood viscountcy, A Lineage that goes back over two century's similar to tates, So both of them are heirs to aristocratic families' he noted

At the dorm

Tate sighs as he sat on his bed, looking at the empty bed opposite his "I can't cover for you much longer, Honestly where'd you disappear to" he then let out a sneeze "On top of everything no I've got a cold" he groaned

He hears knocks at the door and gets up to answer it "Yes?" As soon as the door opens he was face to face with his professor and the fear returned "Professor moriarty?! Why are you here?!"

"That was an impressive sneeze Tate" William commented as the boy stepped back nervously "I heard it clearly through the door, Then again, You've been looking after Lucian, Perhaps you caught his cold" William says as he closed the door behind him

"Eh..That's probably it..." Tate then panicked as his teacher moved towards his roommates bed to inspect it "professor! Wait!...I wouldn't! There's no need for that!" William brushed his hand then coming to a halt "This bed hasn't been slept in for some time..." he remarked

"Well..." Tate began to feel the pressure "I suggested you start talking and quickly" William ordered, turning to face the boy, scaring him with his intimating smile "Despite my demeanour, I'm more cross than you can possibly imagine"

Giving in, Tate sat on the chair of his desk opposite William and began explaining everything "Do you mean to tell me Lucian hasn't been to the dormitory in three days?" William concluded

"Sneaking out of the dorms and being gone all night isn't anything new, But he's always back the next morning, He should've returned by now" Tate explained "I was worried, So I went down to check at the pub, There's a waitress there Frieda who lucians absolutely mad about
If he was spending the night anywhere, I would've expected it to be at her place"

Flash back

As he said Tate went to the pub to look for Lucian, only to be drenched in water with a terrified look on his face from the woman who threw the water all over him "Piss off!" Then slammer the door in his face

Flash back end

"That explains it, At least how you got your cold" William said "However such a harsh welcoming with out Warning is odd Leads me to believe there may have been some trouble before hand"

"Look professor" Tate began "He maybe a fool hearty get about, But he has a good heart
I'll say this, It doesn't matter what he got himself mixed up in, I just want to bring him home" he says as Williams walks over to the window "It sounds to me like your very concerned about lucian's well being" he smiled

"Of course I am sir!" Tate exclaimed standing up "Why say of course?" William asked as he turned to face the boy "I mean because..." Tate placed a hand over his chest "Lucian is my friend!"

William Was happy with his response and began walking to the door "From here on I think it's best you stay out of the matter, Leave this to me I'll deal with Lucian" he stated

"Eh Yes sir" Tate nodded "And Tate?" William stops having one more thing to say "No fortunes greater Than the bond shared between friends" he says before leaving the room, as he walks away from the dorm, he stops and notices a man in his path "Professor moriarty
I presume?" he asked

"And you are?" William asked confused "The names Dudley bale  a humble administrator assistant for the university" the man introduced himself " I've seen you from time to time strolling about the campus grounds, Please forgive my manners" he said placing a hand over his heart "Introductions are pass due"  Ty two moved elsewhere to talk, privately "I noticed you coming from the dormitories, is something amiss with one of your students?"dudley questions

"Possibly, I want to pay Lucian Atwood a visit, He's been absent from my lectures for several days, So I wanted to check up on him" William explained "Did you catch the rogue Nursing a hangover?" Dudley asked "The issue is finding him actually, According to his roommate he hasn't shown his face for three days" William revealed "Staying out over night Without permission?" Dudley murmured "Not uncommon for these boys but rules are rules" the two turn they're attention to some of the boys interaction with each other "Then again, Why don't we look the other way this one time?" He suggested "Don't want to come down too hard, Otherwise we're bound to start a rebellion"

"But still, We can agree that three days is slightly irregular" William remarked "Perhaps we should notify the police" he said "Normally I would agree, but This could be a very delicate situation, see Lucian is the son of nobility, and any brush With the law would reflect poorly on the family name" Dudley states

"Then what?" William questions "You'd have us drop off the matter?"

"Don't miss understand me" Dudley waved a hand in defence " I have connections with the local police and can ask them to look into this disappearance discreetly" Dudley revealed turning to face the man fully as William looked at him "Please allow me to handle this to avoid damaging the family name, So that settles it" Dudley clapped his hands together "There's no need to be concerned

Time skip

The sun was beginning to set, William stands outside the pub Lucian went to last as well as the one Tate got splashed with water "This is the pub where Tate received his not so warm welcome" He entered the pub and finds the very woman who dumped the water over the boy, sitting at one of the tables smoking a cigarette "We're closed, Come back later"

"I realise it's early" William says gaini g her attention as he takes off his hat "However I'm not here to buy a drink, I'd like to have a word with you" she looks at him suspicious

He is then seen sitting g at the table with the woman who holds up the gold coin he'd given her "Just for talking about a dead girl
This is quite the tip, You a news paper reporter Or what?" She questioned

"Nothing like that" William replied "My name is William James Moriarty, And I teach at Dunham University" he revealed

"Your a collage professor?" She raised an eyebrow

"If there's an issue with a students conduct it's my duty as an educator to set things right, And in order to do that, first I must collect All the Necessary facts pertaining to the matter" he says, she begins telling the girls story

"What can I say...Frieda was a wonderful girl, She loved dancing and when she smiled, The entire room would light up, Real flower that one...." the woman frowned "She makes What happened all the more tragic, Called in by the old man who lived under the bridge last thing she was doing was singing and dancing before she fell into the river, I wonder what she was singing about" she murmured holding the cigarette up but not smoking

"See professor, Frieda and this missing student of yours had fallen in love, Thing is he's a big shot aristocrat, Not the same class as us
I'm sure she though he was just looking for a good time, At the beginning, But then, He proposed marriage to her"

Flash back

The two stand on the very same bridge, she gasped surprised with red in her cheeks "I want to spend the rest of my days dancing with one person" he says as he gently held her hands blushing the same hue as her "You frieda, Would you mind being my dance partner Forever?"
She smiled, giggling a little before looking him in the eye with a loving smile "Not one bit"

Flash back end

The woman held her cigarette over the ashtray "I tried to talk her out of it At first,Then She told me she was with child" the memory of that girl's smile entered her head "And after seeing that blissful expression on her face, I couldn't raise any objections...However..." her eyes narrowed "Before long he entered the picture" in her memories she and the girls were working when through the glass she noticed Frieda talking to someone a man "I don't know exactly what he said to Frieda that night" the man then left, and Frieda fell to her knees the woman looks and saw tears streaming down her eyes "But it was at that moment I knew...She's been abandoned
even so, She gathered herself up, Said she'd raise the child by herself, And then..."

"I just asked you to recount a Harrowing tale, Please forgive me" William stands up, and grabbed his cane "Thanks to you assistance, I'm now fully aware of what must be done" and finally placed his hat back atop his head "Though sadly I'm unable to bring the girl back, I can promise you this, The mater will be resolved in a way that I hope brings you closure" the woman had grit her teeth s he walked to the door, before he could open it, he heard "You forgot something" he turned back only to catch the coin that had been flicked back to him "In case your curious, Frieda's body was never recovered from the river, Nothing but a special bracelet a friend of hers gifted to her was buried in the potters field, Unfortunately even if the girls and I pulled our earnings we still couldn't afford a proper headstone for her, Listen mate
If you feel any pity for the girl, Use that money, Place some flowers on her grave" the woman watched as he left

" alright, I told him what you wanted me to say" she announced to the person hidden in the shadows " I want to know, is she alright?"

" don't worry about her, we managed to pull her out just in time, she's slowly recovering" the person that sounded like a women as well replied, The woman narrowed her eyes suspiciously " why did you decide to help us? Who exactly are you?" She questioned

" just someone who shares a common enemy with you, just keep this meeting, and the conversation we've had a secret, she will be returned safe and sound so she's fully recovered. I promise" the person said, the woman sighed " fine... but I gotta know, that man, what's the story between you two, a former lover?" The woman in the shadows lips held tight in a firm line

Just the expression

" a dear friend... who I'm unable to meet yet... just don't tell him about me, if all goes according to plan this hellish nightmare will end soon, at least she be safe from the one who intended to do her harm..." her attention went to the door that opened, revealing the woman with black hair " time to go already?"

" it is" the woman nodded, the girl sighed " alright" and placed her pink hat, that matched with her dress, sparing the other one one final comment " we might not meet again, but I can assure you once this is all over, you'll be celebrating something special" the woman crossed her arms looking confused as the mysterious woman with red hair and her comrade left, wondering what she meant by that

Elsewhere

In a building, some where at night, a few lights lit only by candles, one of the rooms, Dudley sat with tools that someone might question, he sat at a desk and in front of him, were checks, from several families, but the one thing that stood out, was the devilish grin on his face, he is then seen walking past a room, where several young men looking unconscious by the smoke in the room "You have the package I entrusted to you?" He Questioned the man following him. "Yes, And as for the quality of the newest shipment, it seems to be Quite potent" they then come to a halt at one of the rooms "He's resting comfortably inside"

Inside the room, Lucian sitting against the wall, head resting against his arms "Are we feeling more composed today Lucian?" Dudley asked as he walked in front of him, the boy looks up, with hazy vision, seeing the silhouette of person, he thought was the girl he loved at first "Frieda?" Until the image became more clear, revealing it to be Dudley "Unfortunately the girl had a slightly accident and perished plunged right into the river" Dudley says smile closed eyes

"Wait what?...I don't understand...I made her a promise..." lucian says with a tired voice "I know your having difficulties processing this I think it's best if you stay until your emotional wounds are healed" he kneeled down "Please there's no need to be hasty" Dudley smirks, due exhaustion, Lucian falls unconscious again

In the moriarty home

Louis was pouring tea when his brother spoke "Louis" and turned to him as he looked at the fire place "I'd like for you to send those two a telegram for me" he says "Then you mean..." Louis trailed off, William looks at the cigarette held by his fingers "The time has come for us to make our move."

Elsewhere

In a relatively foggy run down area of London, a young fellow was sitting on a ledge up high, reading the telegram he'd received , And in a building another man lay in bed with a woman, both bodies bare, until the sound of someone knocking at the door woke him, along with someone speaking "Excuse me sir a telegram" the man looked over his shoulder, he gets up, wrapping his lower half with the blanket

He found the folded paper on the ground near the door and picked it up, entering back in the room he'd slept in and after he finished reading he smirked

Time skip

In a couple of days, they three went to the station to go greet two individuals, one of them arrived with a long briefcase "The brothers came all the way down to the station to greet me" Moran grinned as he approached them "It has been far too long, Colonel Moran" William greeted him.  "So We are finally getting started? That's why you sent me the telegram ain't it?" Moran asked grinning

" now now, all in good time, there's an order to these things" Wilma in chuckled then looks to the case he carried " on that note, I trust that your skills are as sharp as ever?"

" you have to ask" Moran smirked before they noticed Fred arrived with the coach  "if it isn't Fred, haven't lost that sunny disposition I see" Moran commented

"I requested that he'd come before you to Handle a certain errand, did you locate what I asked for?" William asked Fred who nodded "I checked the hospital, and Found him in the brothel two doors down" all attention went to the person who was still unconscious in the carriage " thanks to the opium he's not in his right mind, he's not yet"

"Its appears the stage is ready to be set" William murmured " now this job wasn't requested by an client, but still...." he looks down at his hand that held the coin, but it seemed everyone knew what needed to happen, he clenched his hand tight lifted his head with narrowed eyes, the group moved to completely the job " gentlemen let's deliver some punishment"

In the bar

Moran was playing cards against three other men, also impressing the two Woman who stood behind him, but that was only part of the mission "Sadly, tonight's not your night" he smirked

"Wow your so good mr Moran~" one of the girls coed as the other giggled

"What can I say chaps, Looks like I'm on a winning streak" he says to the men who were extremely not happy "No ones that lucky" one of them grumbled

"Unless they've been cheating this whole time!" Another yelled as he got up attempting to do some harm, however Moran caught his hand and pushed his head to the floor, glaring down at the man "Fools all day the same thing when they're down on they're luck, And they were the blokes who died first on the battle field" he said

Without causing anymore trouble the men lefter with they're tails between they're legs

"So, Mr Moran sir" one of the woman hugs him from behind "Now that you've made all that money at cards, Would you care for a different sort of fun?~" she asked

He smirked "Sounds smashing, Your room on the second floor?"

"That's right, You were quick to catch my meaning~"

"And you were quick to catch my eye when I stepped through the door~"

"Right this way Romeo~"

Outside

Lucian sat on a bench alone, until he finally regained consciousness from the opium, finding himself alone in the dark street " how'd I get here?" He murmured

"There you are Lucian!" A familiar voice yelled, he looked and saw Dudley came running towards him

"Sir Dudley?" Lucian asked as he got to his feet as the man came to a halt out of breath " now Wait, let's discuss this" then regained his breath " you could've asked to meet someone closer! What was the meaning of that letter!? Your not actually going to confess your crime?! That's ludicrous! And After all I did to the cleaning up after you, for that matter how did you even get out of your room!?"

"Clean up after me?" Lucian mumbled confused. 

"Of course! Why'd you have to be so bloody careless and get that common bar maid pregnant!? Can you even imagine the effort i went through?!"

Lucian's eyes widened " Frieda...?..."

" you  are a nobleman!"What they didn't know was the person setting out of the water up the stairs in woman's clothing " you shouldn't have gotten involved with some backwash dish wreck like her in the First place! Surely you can see that! When the pen slips you throw out the paper Not the pen it's the same way for people there's no changing it! That's how the aristocratic world operates!" He lestired yelling While the boys eyed were in shock

"But...I...was supposed...to marry Frida" Lucian mumbled.

"That will be quite enough of that! Now Hold your tongue and do exactly as I say!" Dudley demanded, Just then a familiar humming is heard and the two turn and turned to see the person approaching to be Frieda

" my...love..." she reached out, Dudley screams in fright, backing up "It's impossible your dead!...I killed you...I pumped you full of opium then you plunged to your death in the river!" Dudley panicked.

Making Lucian look at him shocked " what?..." William then appeared dressed in black approaching the two "At last the truth from the culprits own mouth, a confession of an unpardonable sin" William spoke as he revealed himself

"What?...Professor Moriarty!?" Dudley stated in disbelief 

"Fred that will do," William  said Turing to the person dressed like Frieda

" very well" Fred took off the wig, revealing himself to be not Frieda

" your a man?...."

" the fog is especially heavy this evening, combined with his sight build he pulled the allusion Brilliantly" William says

It then dawned on Dudley " hold on...you wrote me that letter! Asking to meet here not Lucian!" Dudley exclaimed 

"Guilty as charged, I am the architect behind designing this plot, but introductions are pass due, I am William James Moriarty, Crime Consultant" William smirked

" What do you mean crime Consultant? And why are you dressed like that?" He questioned 

"Mr Bale, I've done some research on you, in addition to working for the university your also the owner of several hospitals or, should i say brothels" William informed

"And is there a crime against being a businessman?" Dudley glared

"Is that what your calling it? Your hospitals served as a front, to order large quantities of opiates without arousing anyone's suspensions, after you were fully supplied, you transformed the cellar last of your brothels into opium dens" William exposed " you lure the sons of aristocrats into buying some sin,  Then demands they're parents purchase your silence unless those deeds to become public knowledge"
Dudley drew angrily with each thing revealed "like a fire brigade that goes around creating blazes then offering your service, your a different class of despicable"

"Ha! You have all the answers don't you?" Dudley laughed mockingly "So go ahead and turn me over to the police and see what happens" He laughed.

" I have no intention of doing that, your claim of having influence with the local authorities was not entirely unfounded" William responded, which caused Dudley to laugh more " so what are you going to do?"

" I won't do anything" William replied with narrowed eyes " but you, over come with the guilt of miss Macauley's death, along with the attempted murder of maria merry weather, will dance yourself into a frenzy, before taking your own life" he said lowly

Which made Dudley freak out "What? Me take my own life?! Attempted murder to that merry weather trash?! Your a bit touched in the head! Why would I?-" suddenly he was shot behind his head, making him gasp and grab the back of it

His feet get shot at making him step back more shots were fired, but he dodged each one of them, and it made him look like he was dancing "what the?!" On in one of the rooms, Moran was the one who shot close to dudley, body still care covered only by the blanket, He smirked as he continued shooting, the woman fast asleep, unable to hear the firing weapon

"You've got quite the lively step there, I have no doubt you'd to be an adequate match for your dance partner" William commented, Dudley contimued yelping in fear moving place to place trying to escape, the fear started to make him hallucinate, a figure behind holding his hands " I don't think you need any introduction"

" who are you?! Stop get away from me!!!" Dudley shrieks, what he didn't realised he was moving himself towards the side of the bridge without knowing until he slipped falling backwards, the same way Frieda did, in slow motion he gasped as if seeing her ghost glaring down at him, he screamed as he plummeted to his waters below

Lucian falls on his knees crying as William turned to face him, however he noticed something far off coming towards them that made his eyes widen with a gasp

the young boy continued crying until "Lucian!..." He gasped hearing the familiar voice, slowly getting to his feet and turning to see her, Frieda being assisted by a woman with black hair out of a carriage

" Frieda...." just like his professor he was in a state of shock, without delay he runs towards her, the woman with the girl stops allowing her to reunite with the man she loves, He pulls her in, not want to let go, or for her to disappear

"F-Frieda...Your alive?...How was is this possible!?" He questioned with shaken breath, she smiled weakly and turned to the woman with black hair, who bowed her head in greeting " this lady and her friend saved me from drowning in the river. They pulled me out and took me to a safe place until I fully recovered, they were hiding me away for the next couple days until it was safe."  She hugged him tightly, tears strolling down her cheeks.

Time skip

Lucian was brought back to his family, who were happy and relieved by his safe return, and introduced his love Frieda to them finally, surprisingly his family, turns out they were people that respected the merry weathers teachings and welcomed her as a member of there family much to her delight

the Moriarty brothers, minus Albert, Moran and Fred watched at a distance, in the shade of the trees at the ending being held at the church for Lucian and frieda "Good on him" Moran complimented

"A love deemed impossible because of class became possible" Louis commented

"Yeah, If she hadn't been saved a tomb stone would've been added to the graveyard, Both Frieda and he were almost victims of the societal structure, But in a different world, The two of them wouldn't found happiness without any trouble" Moran said

"A tragedy indeed,:Which became avoidable" William said as he turned to walk away "Which is why we must dismantle the system..."
