Chapter 3 – Of Agents, an Officer and an Irregular


Soon, the day of the conference approached. John, Sophia, Sherlock, Melody and Lestrade were getting ready, reporters from all over waiting to get the scoop. Wanting to report on the Return of the Reichenbach hero. Pity that Kitty Reily lost her job as a reporter, once word got out that she reported false information out of spite; she lost all credibility. She could never get a job as a reporter ever again. I heard she makes a mean mochachino, though.

“Come on you guys” Sophia said, wheeling ahead of them, “we have a press conference to attend”



The press conference went as well. The focus was split between the Order and the return of Sherlock Holmes. The questions were either open, or given to one of the people present…

“Detective Inspector, how did come in contact with the Order? “

“Whoever started the Order contacted my via text,“ Lestrade replied “I was unsure if it was a trap or not; but I did get in contact and have been assisting in gathering all evidence of Moriarty that they collected”

“Sherlock Holmes, why did you fake your death? “

“Moriarty wanted me to die” Sherlock answered, “so he came up with a way to make sure I fell. By training snipers on the three people I have grown to care about.”

“So, you did you not die?”

“I had the help of one Molly Hooper. She helped me with everything needed to make my death convincing”

And that was all they were getting. Dull.

“John Watson, were you with the Order from the very start?”

“No,“ John responded “I joined six months after it started. I was sinking back to where I was after I returned from the war. I ran into Melody and she introduced me to the Order”

“Sophia Jane,” a reporter, one with a blog by the looks of it, asked “why did you risk your life to save Sherlock Holmes?”

“Man,” Sophia sounded exasperated “you are the third person to ask me that! Can’t a person save the world’s only consulting detective’s life without being questioned about it?

There was light laughter before Sophia spoke again.

“First, because he is needed far more in the grand scheme of things than I am,” Sophia began, “Second, because I knew that he would do the same for be; even though I don’t want him to.” “Finally, because I didn’t want the relationship of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to end as sour as it was going to”

“Melody Brown, why didn’t you report Sherlock was alive when you found out? “

“I wanted to” Melody said, grimly, “but I knew that if Sherlock wanted someone to know he was alive, he would tell them himself. I only broke that rule twice. And only one time was it on my own consent.”

The conference soon ended and Sherlock Holmes was once again hailed as a hero, which he denied.

“The Order is the true hero” he explained “They risked dragging their names in the mud so my name could be cleared. They’re the heroes of this story. Not me”
Another clumsy ending…hadn't that much muse for this act. Needed it to pad out more.

Also, yes Kitty did become a barista; one of the only jobs she could get after what she did.
