April 3, 1904, once again Dr. Prosecutie Watson and I are stuck yet another sticky situation. After meeting up with our good friend Jacob Wisp at Diamond Dog town, he was able to give us more information about the Diamond Dog that rob the jewelry store, and the location where he usually hangout at. When Jacob Wisp escorted us to the nearby pub, we were able to locate the Diamond Dog we been looking for, and try to come up a plan to ask him some question. When Jacob Wisp was able to get some answers from the Diamond Dog for us, the Diamond Dog already notice Dr. Prosecutie Watson and I from a distance, which force him to call his friends, and fight us. Usually I’m not the type that like to fight very often, I rather use my head then to prove myself with brawl strength, but once you’re dealing with thieves that barely use their mind that much, you really don’t have much a choice. During our engagement with the Diamond Dog and his bar buddies, Jacob Wip was able to knock out a few of them like it was nothing. It a good thing that Jacob gotten use fighting against them, since he usually see a bar fight now and then. Dr. Prosecutie Watson was using his magic to make a shield to protect our young friend Sepian Tone from danger. As for me on the other hooves, I’m doing my best at dodging some of their attacks, while searching for the diamond dog we been searching for. I remember before the fight even started, the Diamond Dog was able to call out his friends to face us, but instead of joining the fight, he was manage to slip through the crowd, and escape somewhere in the pub. While dodging their attacks, I was able to fly over some of the goons, and take a quick look around to see where he ran off to. Before I had the chance to look further, I notice that Dr. Prosecutie Watson, and Sepain Tone side were surrounded by a bunch of goons, and it look like Dr. Watson was running out of energy to keep up the shield. I know I need to search for the culprit, but my priority need to be change and have to head over to help them. I manage to fly over to them, and see what I can do to help them. There was too many of them for me to fight alone, and Jacob Whips was busy facing off a few gryphon that got a hold of him. I use eyes to see if there was anything I could use, and finally notice a set of candle lantern were hanging about where the goons are. I use my brain to come up a simple solution, and fly over to where the rope was holding the candle lanterns. I saw from the distance that Dr. Watson was out of energy and had no choice but to lower the shield down. The goons were happy that the shield was gone and gotten closer to them. Sepian Tone hid behind Dr. Watson, hoping they won’t hurt her. Dr. Watson try conjure a bit of magic to see if he can push back a few of them. Just before they even got a chance to harm them, I was able to call goons out, just to let them know that the great Detective have them fooled. When they look at me for a moment, they didn’t relies that I was loosen a rope that was tie up by the wall, which fly up in the ceiling. The goons had no clue what going on, until one of them look up ceiling and saw the candle lanterns were falling a top of them. Relief that my little planed work, and both Watson, and Sepain were safe. I walk over to them, and see if they were doing alright. Sepian Tone walk towards me and gave me a gratitude hug, thanking me for saving her and Watson. Dr. Prosecutie Watson finally reach up to us, and stand by my side, I was thinking he was going to than me, but gave me one of his could had done something simple lecture.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: Mr. Thomas, you know you sort of cutting that a bit short there. Sepian and I were this close going to get hurt by the goons.

Sherlock Thomas: I know Watson, and I apology for cutting a bit short. I was doing my best to calculate a simple solution to save you both by using my brain to knock them out with the candle lanterns from the ceiling.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: well I have to say it was a brilliant idea you did there, but maybe next time do it a little faster.

Sherlock Thomas: *he tap Watson on the shoulder* and I’m happy to save you, and young Sepian life.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: …… Sigh, it a good thing we are good friends Mr. Thomas. That all I’m going to say.

Sherlock Thomas: indeed we are my dear Watson. Now then, Ms. Tone I presume, I’m a bit curious of why are you doing here, instead with Ms. Notepade we spoken with a little while ago.

Sepian Tone: I’m sorry for coming here Mr. Thomas sir, but Ms. Tone assist that I follow you guys, and see if I can gather something for her paper.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: is she crazy to send a young child on a dangerous mission like that. Especially we were heading for Diamond Dog Town.

Sepain Tone: I know Ms. Notepad make some bad choice once awhile, but I had dealt with much worse situation before. I’m just glad that you and Sherlock Thomas saved my life. I’m forever in your debt.

Sherlock Thomas: we’re happy that you’re safe Ms. Tone, but I’m afraid that we need to hurry and search for the Diamond Dog, before he get the chance to escape.

Jacob Wisp: no need to fear Lads and Lassie. Your dear of friend Jacob Wisp is here to save the day.

When all of us hear Jacob Wisp, we and notice that he was carrying someone over his shoulder. When Jacob Wisp reach up to us, he drop the person on the floor, and it was our man of honor the Brown Diamond Dog we were looking for. I was impress that Jacob Wisp was able to capture, which Watson and I congratulate him.

Sherlock Thomas: excellent work on capturing him Jacob Wisp.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: a splendid job indeed Jacob, we thought for sure that Diamond Dog was going to manage to escape from us for sure.

Jacob Wisp: it’s no problem at all you two. When I first saw him trying to escape the pub, I did my best to catch up with him, but a few lads were in the way and I thought for sure I was going to lose. But lucky for me my dear sweet lass Scoria who own the pub was manage to knock him out for me.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: Oh that right! Lady Scoria is the owner of this pub. I guess I see why you come here very often.

Jacob Wisp: but of course, my dear Scoria family own this pub for many generation, and she does her best to keep this place running.

Sherlock Thomas: you do your best by making sure there is no bar fight, right?

Jacob Wisp: *he laugh nervously* well not all of us can be perfect Mr. Thomas.

Sherlock Thomas: ….. I guess so. Now then, if we done chatting for a moment, let see if our dear friend here can chat with us for a moment, and tell us a little more about our dear friend Moriarty.

Jacob Wisp was able to manage to wake our dear friend from his doggy nap. When the Diamond Dog woke up, he notice that he was surrounded, and had no chance of escaping from us. I notice on his face that he wasn’t happy that he got caught, and started to say some harsh towards us.

Diamond Dog: I can’t believe that blimey brawd manage to catch me off guard like that.

Jacob Wisp: best watch you said about me girl lad, or you want her to come over her, and show you a true meaning of fear.

Diamond Dog: easy mate, I was only kidding about that, you and I both know how dangerous she can be when she mad.

Sherlock Thomas: then perhaps it time for you to answers more of our question, or I allow Jacob to call Lady Scoria over, and we allow her to finish the job.

Diamond Dog: alright, fine. Go ahead, and ask your stupid question MR. Thomas.

Sherlock Thomas: very well then, did you and several of your Diamond Dog friends rob a jewelry store on Wednesday Morning of April 2?

Diamond Dog: yes, me and some of me mate were planning to rob the jewelry store on that day. The boss gave us the proper plans of how to rob the place, without causing the alarm to go off.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: that why the place wasn’t damage too much. Usually Diamond Dog cause more damage than planning.

Sherlock Thomas: but that Jewelry store still had some still had some priceless jewelry the Diamond Dog could had easily stolen. Tell me why neither you, nor your friends didn’t bother stealing the other jewelry?

Diamond Dog: that because the boss order us only to steal certain jewelry. We ask the boss if we can steal some other, but he only care about the one he want, and nothing else.

Sherlock Thomas: I see, but we did notice that one or two jewelry were stolen from a display, which I found a trace of your hair.

Diamond Dog: ….. That could be anyone hair, you can’t prove that could me mine.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: do you really want to test his skill good sir. Especially he was able to find you here without a problem.

Sherlock Thomas: with some help from our friend Jacob Wisp.

Jacob Wisp: thank you.

Diamond Dog: *he snarl* ok so I did stole a few diamonds from the one the boss doesn’t want. He didn’t pay us very well from that heist, so I had no choice to steal a few, just to make a few extra coins.

Sherlock Thomas: figure as much. Your greed is the main reason why we were able to find you very easily.

Diamond Dog: oh yeah! How so smart guy?

Sherlock Thomas: your boss plan of robbing the jewelry store was very well planned. You and your co-host go inside at the right proper time, and steal the certain jewels that he needed, but thanks to your greedy instinct, you stole some extra jewelry for yourself, which your fur got caught from the display glass, and left it for us to find you.

Diamond Dog: ……… Lucky guess.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: not luck good sir, pure skills.

Sherlock Thomas: Thank you Watson. Now good sir, since you kept on mention about your boss, care to tell us that this boss of yours is actually Professor Valo Moriarty, or someone else that impersonating him, or someone else that pulling the string?

Jacob Wisp: and you best answer him quickly lad, I’m in a mood for another round.

Diamond Dog: Ok, don’t try to kill me. Yeah the one that running that heist is Professor Valo Moriarty, and yes he is most definitely alive.

When the Diamond Dog said those key words, everyone in the room were silent for a moment. I on the other hand already figure that Moriarty was indeed alive all this time. When you face someone like him your entire career, they never stay silent, until their true mission of crime was satisfied. Dr. Watson was a bit nervous of what the Diamond Dog said and him personally if he was lying.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: you got to be kidding, there is no way for Moriarty to be alive, I was there when Mr. Thomas and Moriarty fought each other, when his castle was caught on fire. Sherlock Thomas was lucky to escape that place with his life.

Diamond Dog: *he laugh* well you have no idea how dangerous the boss really is. He may have defeated him that night, but he manage to find able to beat death, and come back for another round.

Sherlock Thomas: if he did come back, what is your boss planning?

Diamond Dog: don’t know, I was only there for the jewelry heist. The only few people that actually know his true plan are.

When he was about to tell us the name, he stop in the middle of his sentence when he felt something strange was happening to him. I notice that he had his paw holding his chest, like someone was hitting on it too much. Then I notice that was coughing a lot, and spitting out some foaming substance from his mouth. We all had no clue what was happing to him, but Watson and I are well aware of what going on. Dr. Prosecutie Watson stand by the Diamond dog side, and see if he can help, but before he could do anything to help him, the Diamond dog was already gone. Everyone were shock to see the Diamond Dog died in front of us, especially young Sepian Tone who not use to see something like that very often. Jacob Wisp was nice enough to stand by her side, and does his best to comfort her. Dotocr Watson and I on the other hooves try to examine the situation, and figure how the Diamond Dog die in front of us.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: I can’t believe the Diamond dog died right in front of us Mr. Thomas, and just when he was going to tell us something important

Sherlock Thomas: indeed, it ashamed that the Diamond dog had to die so suddenly, but I’m still surprise that he lived long enough, just before the poison take effect.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: hold on a second Mr. Thomas, are you saying that you knew he was poison?

Sherlock Thomas: not at first, but when we were having our conversation with him, I notice a few sign that was out of the ordinary.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: really! Like what for example?

Sherlock Thomas: for starter, I notice that his body was starting to sweat a lot. I know Diamond Dog are in the same species as normal dogs, and they don’t have the same ability to sweat from the body. The second thing I also notice that his eyes were becoming a bit more red than usual, At first he must the smoke, but I haven’t smell any type of material for him to do that.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: that right, I did see his eyes were a lot redder than before. But if he was poison, how on earth would poison him, and do it right under our noses.

Sherlock Thomas: by my guess, it could be one of Moriarty allied could have done this, but it got to be someone who is an expert that dealt with poison.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: Jacob, do you happen to know someone that dealt with poison?

Jacob Wisp: I know a lot of lads that dealt with the stuff, but none of them aren’t even that good of poisoning someone like that. I do know one person that could have the information on the person you seek.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: and who that might be?

Sherlock Thomas: I already know who he going to say Watson, and I’m not in the rush of meeting her.

Do. Prosecutie Watson: what do you mean by that Mr. Thomas?

Jacob Wisp: oh come now Mr. Thomas, you know the lass like you so much, that she been bugging me to ask you in person to pass by her bar for special treatment.

Sherlock Thomas: and she already know the same answers I told her before.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: Mr. Thomas, can you please tell me what going on. Who Jacob Wisp is talking about.

Sherlock Thomas: ……….. Sigh, Rhetta Stone, that who Jacob was talking about.

Do. Prosecutie Watson: Rhetta Stone, as in the Rhetta Stone. One of the most notorious griffin gang leader of London. You actually know her.

Jacob Wisp: he more than know her, if you actually catch my drift *he laugh*

Sherlock Thomas: Watson didn’t need to know about that Jacob Wisp, but yes, Rhetta Stone and I had some acutance in the past, but that was long time ago, and continue on our own personal life.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: ok then, but it doesn’t sound like Rhetta Stone went on her own life that much, since she still have a crush on you.

Sherlock Thomas: which why I want to do my best of not meeting her. WE will find some way to locate Moriarty a different way, like we always do.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: and even if we do Mr. Thomas, we back to square one, and the only person that can lead us to the right direction, is killed by one of Moriarty allies.

Sherlock Thomas: true, but we still have that particular riddles that he left behind. If we can solve that riddle about the puzzle cube, we might have an extra edge against him.

Speian Tone: oh I just relies something Mr. Thomas sir, I was able to figure out the riddle about the puzzle cube.

Sherlock Thomas: brilliant Ms. Tone, I knew I can count on you.

Speian Tone: do you want to hear it right now?

Sherlock Thomas: not here, it best to tell it at our place, it a lot safer there then here.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: I agree Mr. Thomas, since we had no clue if the coulprit that poison the Diamond Dog, could be hiding in this very pub.

Sherlock Thomas: Elementary Dear Watson. Jacob Wisp, you be alright dealing with the body, until Scotland Yard pass by?

Jacob Wisp: of course Mr. Thomas, I stay here until the copper pass by here. I tell them what here, including the dead body as well.

Sherlock Thomas: excellent, and if you see Inspector Lestrade, just mention my name, and she will deal the rest.

Dr. Prosecutie Watson: is it wise that we let him tell Dashie that we were here. You know how she warn us of not getting involved.

Sherlock Thomas: true, but right now we have a much bigger case than the jewelry theft. Valo Moriarty is alive, and he is up to something. So we have to be ready for anything.

Things have finally gotten very interesting. At first it was going to be a simple case, but after hearing Moriarty was alive, I already know that this going to be the biggest case I ever solved.



To be continued.



Well that was fun, Valo Moriarty is indeed alive, and they were this close to find out more. Lucky for them that their young friend was able to solved one of the key clue they needed. What clue they going to get, best to stick around to find out more.
